Tattoos aren't mentally or physically healthy

>Tatts are more than ink
True, they also serve as a retard stamp.

>Tatts are more than ink
Autism is more than a disease

Tattoos are the easiest way to tell a person is trash. I'm glad we have them.

Just wait another 20-30 years and you'll see all the people who jumped on the tattoo trend working at gas stations and emptying garbage cans in office buildings. Idiots.

By then, age and gravity will have caught up with them and the chick with the chest piece will be looking run down and used up while she rings up your order at Arby's. Such a free spirit in her 20's, now she has a raspy voice from smoking/drinking for decades and her bleach blonde hair is frayed and the root color is coming through at the scalp. Her skin is saggy and leathery and her ear lobes are like deflated tires because she stretchied them and Arby's corporate won't let her wear plugs. At 43, she'll claim discrimination and complain to her teenage co-workers on her way out the back exit to take an unscheduled smoke break.

Meanwhile, at 45, her ex-boyfriend with sleeve tattoos and facial piercings will have a gigantic beer gut, a year's worth of beard growth, and wears Chuck Taylors and still has a wallet chain. His tattoos that used to express his personality so well have faded and expanded as he gained weight, plus years of sun from outside labor have turned his skin into a darkened, wrinkly mess. He looks every bit of 60 at 45. The kids at work see his tattoos and stretched ear lobes and think "man, that guy must have been pretty cool about 20 years ago." Every night after work, he stops at the gas station and buys a 12-pack of Natty Ice and drinks himself into oblivion in his shitty studio apartment he's lived in for the past 9 years. In his daily drunken stupor, he wonders where it all went wrong. He wakes up with the usual hangover and prays that his 1974 Bronco will start up so he can get to work at the warehouse on time.

Almost broke nofap for this

Why the fuck are you eating Arby's trash?

I feel dumb for not making the connection between tattoos and graffiti. Both illicit the same disgust response from me.

>prays that his 1974 Bronco will start up

Almost the perfect post until I saw this, Bronco's are based, don't you dare talk shit

What the fuck happened?

>t. fag

tattoos are for people with the foresight of an armlength and for old men in their midlife crisis. Rebelling teenagers are the coolest when having nipple piercings so they get them, nevermind of how theyll look in twenty years
Only people that cant speak for themselves get ink on them

Based and redpilled

I don't see the point of tattoos. I don't think people who get them are idiots, I just don't see why you would want to permanently mark your body. Now I can understand if you were a soldier, and everyone in your squad or division got the same tattoo or something. That's pretty cool. But how do you wake up and think "I need to permanently mark my body for absolutely no reason"?
What's bad is when someone shows you their tattoo and asks what you think. What do I think of your fucking illuminati tattoo? It's retarded. But you can't really say that so you have to say "yeah cool man" or something.

Alot of people have a reason for their tats, on the other hand, on a forum so focussed on aesthetics it's kinda weird that people are so much against tats while it's also a way to change your aesthetics besides looks.

Other than that, people posting here are generally retards anyway so their opinion is one to flush through the shitter anyway

seriously though, some tattoos really tell me a lot about someone's foresight.

tell us what you meant by that user.

Tats attract bitches. That being said, it doesnt attract jobs. You decide

This board is about health and fitness. And everyone knows that bodybuilding is gay and retarded anyway.

Just talk her out of it. Ask her "Do you think you'll wake up in 20 years time and think 'Man, I really wish I got that tattoo of a flower on my ankle 20 years ago. I really regret not getting that.' "

i got some during my teenage years wich i do regret . its Ego bullshit and psycho Drama. Its off no use but showing off or a showcase for attachment to loved ones wich is just more drama. It generally displays low IQ. I am quite ashamed of my 18 year old self.......... I

I've got quite a bit of my body tattooed. I don't regret them. I make more money than I ever thought I would. I plan on retiring/semi-retiring at 50. I'm 34 now. I'll blast my hands and neck when I'm ready to stop working completely.

I did a few on my hands (with a sharpened paper clip) when I was 13.

Not a good choice.

nice bait
with limited exceptions, tattoos are for retarded people (catch all for numales, sjws, maximumsoy, nerds, and arfags, maybe more). Women get them too, but that's because they are practically mentally retarded in a a literal sense.

>on a board obsessed with personal aesthetic choices of getting objectively healthier and stronger

really makes you think

If they weren’t permanent it would be kind of a pain in the ass to get them redone all the time. Why do people always act like tattooing is a new phenomenon, and further that the greatest ideal in life is thinking about how you’re going to look when you’re old. I do agree that, especially nowadays, people get shitty or trendy tattoos without thinking about it. I would know, I’m literally in the process of getting one lasered off. But that doesn’t change what good tattoos that are well considered are. If you think you’re going to be seventy and giving a shit about how ugly your tattoos look then you likely have bigger problems like not being able to handle the reality of death that is fast approaching.

>This board is about health
wrong

>started working in a sporting goods warehouse
>everyone in my team is jacked and has a shit ton of tattoos - sleeves, covered calves, neck tattoos, etc etc
What a weird place

You tell her no and you make her obey

It's a choice of aesthetics, how does a board obsessed with aesthetics not understand that?

ouch

The board obsessed with aesthetics also discusses poor taste as well, because A
E S T H E T I C S can only be so because its antithesis of poor taste exists.

Retard alert

Yeah, I love the original art that is on the wall anyone can choose to get

But my question is why would you want to put that on your body though? That's a nice piece of art. It would still be nice if it was just on a piece of paper or a canvas. It doesn't become any better when it's put on your skin. Why would you want it on you?

so I too can be fully sick

It's not something a turbo autist like you would understand, you have to be capable of coping with change

But it doesn't make you fully sick. The tattoo is fully sick. You're not.
I guess. That's why I'll never get a tattoo.

im fully sick brah

I think tattoos are dumb. I think tattoos people get just to look cool are even dumber. But, I can't really articulate why I feel this way. Why do I immediately think lesser of tattooed people? Can someone help me?

>cope with change
>scribble graffiti permanently on skin to remind self of the past everyday

Because they can never explain why a tattoo is good. There reasoning for getting a tattoo is something like
>dragon look fully sick brah
>me put dragon on body
>me become fully sick brah
>duuuhhhhhh
And they call anyone who doesn't like them turbo autists.

yakuza tattoos are the best imo

Tatt fag here. Gonna give my two cents on why I get them. Just if some are really interested in why and not just some Jow Forums tier circle jerking. I usually get a tattoo to remind me of things dear to my heart or events that I want to stay with me. I have tatoos symbolising my roots (oak leaves and a stylized boar) my departure from and bond with France (a lys) and a lila flower for my passed away mother. I have others. All have a signification to me and remind me of something dear. I will probably get some strength related tattoo when I reach my fitness goal. I never do big pieces though. Small to medium ones only. There that's why I do them. I also like the look of them obviously.

Tattoos are like graphic tees that you can't stop wearing when you're not a teenager anymore.

lol
you should get a 4 leaf clover tatt to remind you of how autistic you are

You're reasoning for getting tattoos seems a bit... soppy? Why do you need a tattoo to "symbolize your roots"? Everyone has roots, you don't need a tattoo for that. Now maybe if you do reach some significant strength levels or something, then a strength related tattoo wouldn't be a terrible idea and I could understand it.

That's the best you've got nigger ?
> urr durr autistic
Come up with some original insults at least.

strength fades

Not getting the tattoo isn't going to erase your memories. You can justify it with whatever excuse of "self expression" you want, but attention is what it comes down to.

Probably is a bit soppy if you wish, I know I like them, and being proud of my roots I got them on me. For life. Not something I would advise anybody to do or not do, it's a choice, a commitment.

It's part of it. That's why I get things Im proud of on me. Because when people ask, I can tell.

Are you going to tell me you dislike attention ? Now that would be a bit autistic wouldnt it ?

Not if you cultivate it every day. Well eventually it does, but so does your body.

At least you have more self awareness than most with tattoos

A certain amount of attention is needed. If everyone just completely ignored you like you didn't exist then no one would like that obviously. But some tattoos are sort like of a big "LOOK AT ME" sign. Too much attention is bad for people too.

Oh definitely, there are plenty tatted people that are very retarded. I'd say Im one of them, but I know Im not, got in the US thanks to landing a Data scientist job in one of the GAFAs so I know Im doing fine, but some part of me just loves retarded symbolism and attention.

Well my tatts are not very big. So I suppose that doesnt apply. But I dont get that much attention, once we've talked about them people just move on with their days. Quite satisfied.

>Tattoos aren't mentally or physically healthy.

OK, user.

>Jow Forums - autistic incels

fix`d that for you. This board is 98% shit

>t. triggered tatfag
If you can't take some criticism then you yourself are an autist.

Are there any other insults that tatted people use besides autistic

Because need attention. I like cartoons on my skin so I can be artificially unique. My brain is extremely small

He would be the exact same person without them.

Zyzz worship was pre the reddit donald invasion, lad.

why do you incels even care what his reasons for getting a tattoo are? it 100% does not affect you in any way and you look like a whiny sperg for projecting your awful opinions so brazenly.

making a thread about something as irrelevant as tattoo choice just serves to broadcast your deeply-rooted insecurities to all of the world.

Because we are authoritarians and everyone should do what we tell them to do, because we're better. Duh.

Why do you care that people care about people's reasons for getting a tattoo? I just want to understand a phenomenon that doesn't really make sense to me.

Nice one, here's your you

It's an effortless way to stand out. Pay money, acquire cartoon drawings on flesh, stand out.

only acceptable if you are:
>100% japanese
>member of yakuza

Why are tattfags so insecure about being tattfags? There's so much fucking cope in this thread holy shit

The only cope in this thread is other posters crying about an individual's choice to mark their body. Do you think Chad spends his free time thinking about what other people choose to do with their bodies? He doesn't, because his life is satisfying to the point where all that matters is his own happiness and his own choices.

Tatlets in this thread are honestly pathetic.

This is the only Jow Forums approved tattoo and I have never seen anyone pulling it off.

You won't find a single person who decided to get a tattoo and is still under the age of 25 and actually regrets it.

The regret won't kick In until their 40s.

The regret dosent kick in until decades later. No one will ever outright admit that they regret getting a tattoo but the truth comes out when they are talking to their kids about getting a tattoo, that's when you get a glimpse of their real feelings.

I'm speaking about people that get one or 2 tattoos and it's not part of their identity. 2 decades later when they are a husband and father, or little league coach, or vice president of financing, or on vacation in Costa Rica in their 50s they might look down at the 2 Chinese dragons they have on their chest because they were really into MMA in their 20s and feel regret.

Tattoos went really a thing when I was in my 20s so I dogged that bullet.

If I had tattoos on me from that time in my life 18-25 I would have ryu and Ken from streetfighter on me somewhere and the magic the gathering power 9 pasted somewhere.

I still have regrets you just can't see them on my skin.

90% of this thread is shaming other people for getting tattoos.

You deserve to be shamed.
