>>726962991
I made myself a promise at 18 that I would pick a tattoo and wait 1 year before getting it. I've changed my mind 4 times.

Also, the guy I want to do it has a 4 month waiting list so it's impossible to get one in the spare of the moment.

protip: only get a tattoo done by someone who has a waiting list.

A tattoo is just another way of saying, "I am a shallow, vaping attention-whore" without actually having to say it.

If your tattoo serves as a "memory" of the deceased, you're only causing yourself anguish. Memories were meant to fade. The brain has evolved that way, for a reason.

If your tattoo expresses an opinion, then know that an opinion should only be expressed (a) from the mind (b) from the heart or (c) not at all.

Adding to that, people who have their body degraded with tattoos are far more willing to have their body degraded in other ways. After all, "I've come this far. Why not experiment a little-further?" Such people will turn to recreational drug use and, in the more extreme cases, steal from family, friends and strangers alike to feed their disgusting, utterly selfish habit.

Tattooed people are the scum of the fucking Earth.

>>726962991
It is useless, it only makes sense for those of weak spirit who allow themselves to be carried away by vanities and other vices.

well, I had a choice - work hard, get multiple degrees, get a good job, respect in life, and retire comfortably. Or get a tattoo and be a degenerate.

And since I'm not in acting or music, the two don't overlap.

Tattoos are just a way for people to make themselves feel interesting and unique on the outside rather than the inside. Their spike in popularity precisely coincides with society's complete supplication to the worship of the self and how we are perceived, social media etc. I don't have anything against people who get them but they should understand the psychology behind them.

If you are gonna get one get something small and meaningless/stupid. When you start constructing a story about it and have some grand intricate shit then you really are screaming for attentions.

you dont tatoo cause your mother and daddy doesnt agree

you are not the owner of yourfself

you have no independency

go mammy doll (sissies should have no tatoo)

I have one, i'd like to get more, but not before starting a career, and i make enough money to get good looking ones, not just doodles.
Edgy conservatives can look up Victor Chil and Boristattoo if they don't believe there are good looking tattoos.

I haven't thought of anything interesting or significant that I'd like to display on my body for the rest of my life
I'm also only 20 and still a student, so if I did think of something I'd probably wait a while before getting it because although employers aren't supposed to discriminate because of tattoos I'm pretty sure they will, especially in the more competitive areas of my chosen field

>>726969737
You mean with a tattoo your dick and balls will grow? Cool, why isn't this info already used in spam mails? Isn't this a typical symptom for ball cancer?

I'm saying humans are social creatures, their survival depend on expressing themselves, and finding similarities with one another.
Tattooed people do this without saying a word, and they can expect eachother to be more open. They already have something to talk about for a while.

You replaced part of your social needs, by hanging around here, without any real hope to truly be accepted/part of a group that has your back. Maybe because you haven't found enough people who are similar, or maybe because you have your insecurities about some of your interests.

I see what you are saying but it doesn't mean the reasons for getting a tattoo aren't pathological. It's a sorry indictment of society if we need to scrawl text and images in our skin to have icebreaker conversations and superficial connections to people.

As for your comments about me, they don't invalidate what I've said at all and just highlight your grasping.

I appreciate you trying though I really do.

>>726974193
Lol that's pretty good but harsh too

>>726972664
I agree with you fully.
I see it as a sad commentary on how the social structure has evolved. When I was younger we just actually said hello to each other, and then conversations went on from there, or did not.
Claiming that they are ice breakers is hilaious to me. That is because you have to get a majority of people to look away from their device to even notice you have one.

>>726974193
KEK

>>726972664
Yeah in a perfect world, people wouldn't need ince breakers. Thing is, it's not a perfect world, and acting like it is won't help a thing, judging people who cope with it differently, while they don't limit anyone else's freedom doesn't do any good either.
Maybe the increase in the popularity of tattoos is just another symptom of a societal crisis, maybe it's just a fad, maybe it doesn't mean anything.
Either way, i fail to see how can people think it's a problem that deserves so much attention.

It's more concerning that there are a bunch of people who can't simply relax, or focus on real issues instead of pouring energy into hatred of things they have no influence on, and that have no influence on them whatsoever.

>>726971987
can someone shoop that weird face shape on a photograph

>>726974289
Yeah i know, if you just google "Arctic Monkeys girl" or something it's just a trace of that, I'm getting it coloured and the lines are going to carry on to create something else just haven't got around to it yet.

I'm happy with the diamond, I'm getting this really nice outline made with smaller diamonds and more detail. Just lol'ing at all the faggots trying to trigger me into thinking I've made a massive mistake

You realize you can get a tattoo without being an idiot about it. The only reason you should get one is for yourself. You're the one that's gonna be living with it. Also you can get them somewhere that is covered up by clothing, so getting a job isn't an issue. I've had a tattoo for a couple years now and only a couple of people know. It's easy. Just don't be dumb about it

>>726974562
I never said it was a perfect world, I said I didn't have anything against people who had them and I didn't express any kind of hatred whatsoever. If you take the shitposting of other people seriously then by all means go for it.

My point is that people should understand why they are getting them in the first place. Some tattoos look pretty cool, some don't, but most come from the same place psychologically. It's the need for attention, for validation, not only from others but from yourself. When you look at the picture on your arm and feel good about yourself there's something very interesting going on in your head, I'm just pointing it out.

>>726968040
The most pathetic thing I have read on this board. Stop being an attention whore and give in you fucking low life ass sucker,if you believe what you are saying you are mentally unstable and a fucking cunt shut the fuck up,go and get a tattoo saying I'm a twat because you REALLY come across as one and no one likes your kind. you fucking stupid idiot God what a piece of shit you are. hurr durrr I'm individual bruh look only me and 9000 other people have tattoos you fucking prick go suck a cock you fucking moron !

No, it can't. Learn what context is, brainlord. He was talking about the psychology behind tattoos. That's not comparable to, say, a person watching a movie and enjoying it.

>>726975899
fite me, you won't

money

>>726975840
To some extent but it is still a pathology. If you have a nice haircut and every time you look in the mirror you feel good about yourself it's still interesting what the psychology is. I'm not saying I'm immune to this at all but that tattoos are a very specific way for people to get this sense of worth and if you are going to permanently alter your body you should think about it.

>>726962991

i bet you disrespect your body by being fat and by drinking and smoking.

>>726975602
People buy flashy cars for attention, wear fancy suits, overpriced watches, all these for validation from a certain group of people they share interests with. The difference is they also want to impress people they percieve as authority, and appear as authority in front of as many people as they can.
While a tattood guy just wants a few people to look at the ink go, that looks cool, this guy might have similar interests as me.

Why do people treat attention-seeking as some kind of unholy abomination instead of what it is, a vital part of society?

Also, attention seeking isn't a vital part of society, it's a vital part of the ego.
