What started the current tattoo fad?

David Beckham made tattoos mainstream and acceptable, clearly as part of the Jewish plot to normalise degeneracy, thus destabilising the West or something.

>>2177745
Back in the early 90s only crims, servicemen and junkies had Tatts where I was living. Then it became trendy. Aka counter culture became mainstream. I made a decision to stay a cleanskin because it became obvious that Tatts were counter culture larp.

There was a sudden urge in degenerates to mark themselves, so they can be distinguished from non-degenerates. The sudden urge was triggered by (((them))) through their msm brainwash machinery.
Now (((they))) can tell apart those who are already good goys and those who need some more guidance.

>>2177745
shame... who punched her in the mouth??

Tsar Nicholas II

>>2177749
> her

Beckham yes and that Jolie woman as well.

>>2177745
The fad has come and gone since the 80s with different genres of music either embracing it or not, wait a while and the current people with tats will be embarrassed like the metalheads who rushed to get them in the 80s.

>>2177753
People rarely took it to such extremes before though? & those who did were on the margin of society like outlaw bikers.

>>2177745
>One or two small ones, ok
no, any amount of tattoos and the person is a complete moron

It's a good thing. Let the fools mark themselves.

>>2177745
getting a permanent mark on your body based on a brief trend seems to be a good decision.

>>2177757
Yes sure is a smart move.

>>2177745
>noboby used to look like that, even just 20 years ago
Yes they did, you fucking mong.
Heavy metal has been a thing since the late 60's.

its the ones that preparing the clowns to accept the mark of the beast in a form of digital tattoos

As I said a moment ago,some people on the margins of respectable society looked like that before.
Years ago a shop would not employ a person with tattoos below a polo shirt arm cuff height.
I am served in shops now by people with full arm tattoos.

>>2177745
Didn't Victorian richfags get tattoos all the time, sailors did anyway

Kids born in the late late 80's and early 90's saw eminem with them and thought he was cool.

The "less clothing each year" trend. Tatoos and a lot of uncovered skin goes along pretty well.

>>2177761
It's horrible. This is worse than gore posting.

>>2177759

What the fuck are you talking about you retard, not even punks in the hardcore scene were tatted up to their eyeballs like the average degenerate today.

>>2177747
I'd say counter culture but I wouldn't go as far to say all crims.

Now even cops have tattoos.
Ot's normie culture now and lots of tattoo artists get pisses off that they always have to do lame normie tattoos that say shit like "just breath".

>>2177752
Jolie popularised the lame normie tattoos.

>>2177759
You are too young to know what you are talking about.

>>2177770
I'm talking almost 30 years ago bro. Only cops who had Tatts back then were ex mil, and we didn't see as many go into the force then, they just fizzled and died cos they were fucked up nam vets

It's just retard normans following their negro and celebrity idols. When i see a tatted up twig libmed hipster or "i'm not like the other girls" solipsist i just know i can safely disregard them. In 2017 overemphasized tattoos just scream "This person is an NPC"

>>2177745
I'm sleeved up from hands to pecs but cant stand tatts on girls. Don't give a fuck what you think.

>>2177773
I'm still not exactly sure it's true.

Tattoos used to be for the kind of people that build harleys and lowrider impalas.

Now even normies that complain about nosiy harleys have them.

>>2177781

>I'm sleeved up from hands to pecs

Faggot. You can "not give a fuck what you think" all you want, but everyone who's not a retard has you pegged for a massive attention whoring faggot.

It wouldn't be so bad, but people put the most retarded shit on themselves.

>>2177779
No

>>2177787

>Everyone who's not a retard

That's a direct opposite to "normal" people.

>>2177789
Nothing to do with fashion. My left arm is dedicated to HP Lovecraft the right is dedicated to the Waffen SS. It lets people know what you're about before you open you're mouth.

I think eminem popularised tattoos btw.

I remember in primary school when his music first came out a lot of the boys that likes him started talking about getting tattoos.

>>2177791
I saw a hipster guy with sweet wrappers tattooed all up his arms.
seems pretty pointless to me, but has some meaning for him idk?

That's gonna be a pain to get removed.

>>2177745
It was the obvious step up from the media telling males it's cool to be "gangsta" and encouraging women to be sluts. Tattoos have always been historically associated with male criminals and female prostitutes.

>>2177794
fair enough.

>>2177790
I don't go near girls with visible tats

>>2177782
Like I said, 20-30 years ago Tatts were degenerate. I can only assume you were around then to have formed your opinion. Desu they continue to be degenerate.

>>2177793
That i agree with.

>>2177796

No, people just think that doing random shit makes them quirly and interesting, but they're fucking retarded boring normies that don't realize you can't force randomness and fluidity.

>>2177745

Tattoos have become the trademark of the white lower-middle working class

>>2177799
Thank you brother.

I wouldn't mind getting a pair of titties tattooed on my feet, this way I can still achieve a moderate fap if I am desperate and without tech

>>2177798
Citations?

>>2177801
Born in 1990.

The use of a tattoo, self-chosen, is to basically act as a constant reminder to yourself and others. In a historical sense, tattoos represent slavery, imprisonment or military service, with military service being a slavery and imprisonment of its own kind. They work as a quick identifier to other people (often of a similar background) as to what your background is.

What I am saying is that all tattoos are degenerate, but in a modern sense military tattoo are probably the least degenerate. They signal a bond, history, or reliability to other soldiers/former soldiers.

As a Calvinist Christian I despise any tattoos.

It's clearly a tramp stamp to try and look unique and try to get your "unique mark" for instagram likes and followers.

Cancer.

>>2177745

We used to have a middle class you could climb into with hard work, and you were required to keep a respectable appearance to stay there.
Now you're either (((1%))) or a prole.
Proles who aren't chickenshit get tattoos, because who cares about keeping up with appearances if you are a prole?

The start of my Lovecraft sleeve which has since been finished.

>>2177745
I'm glad.
If someone has a tattoo on their neck or head area I know that they are impulsive degenerates and I can avoid association.
Of course when you deny them a job or 'discriminate' against them they kick up a stink.
Unlike other discriminations, they weren't born that way. They willfully chose to hamstring their employment prospects and general respectability.

There was a yob in my country that got a full face tattoo while drunk in prison.
He was in for assault and theft for scamming a tourist into buying an undersized tinny of weed.
The tourist objected and this guy wallops him.
He gets a sob story in the news, how he's had such a hard life and he just wants to provide for his young family with a job.
He got 'DEVAST8' tattooed across half his face.
He got job offers out from all over the place and offers to get the tattoo removed. He rejected the offers.
He had an odd sense of pride with his disfigurement.
They employers must have been virtue signalling, but why.
Why is there sympathy for people who disfigure themselves and then can't get a job?

>>2177807
The male criminal one comes from the time Romans used to tattoo slaves and criminals. Ancient Egyptian prostitutes used tattoos as protective charms against STDs. Over time and cultures, it kinda stuck. For example, in Japan tattoos used to be exclusively for yakuza and the "pillow world", which was why anyone with a tattoo was banned from the public baths, so they would not bring any illegal activity into a place full of naked people.

>>2177828
Lovecraft would be disgusted at that.

One good thing about tattoos is it makes degenerates a lot easier to identify

>>2177837
It means you're just a degenerate, but at least you're hardcore.

>>2177834
No one, they think he's my grandfather

What gets me is the normies who get the Illuminati/kike related tats, such as a generic looking goat head, tattooed right across their chest. Like WTF? The Suicide Girls definitely need help in this department.

>>2177840
Kek but i went in jail for self defence and i was the only one in my whole cell blockthat refused to do heroin,Well i was still drinking and smoking otherwise they would've marked me as a faggot.

No, that means you're a degenerates degenerate. not a judgement, just a second sentence.

I think it's a status symbol thing like smoking once was, if you have many tattoos it means you have money.

Wrong, champ. Left wing degenerates adore Lovecraft and there's a project to expand his canon and make it more inclusive, or so I read some time ago. Seriously, university-liberals LOVE Lovecraft because he's so, like, creepy and spooky or something dude.

I think this annoys me more than any tattoo; the commodification of dissent.

I don't think there's any real counter culture thing left, everything is about the almighty dollar.

>>2180445
Not any of those.

What really made the difference was the advancement of technology of taking tattoos. Taking a tattoo at a modern tattoo parlor doesn't physically hurt anyone any more. Numbed skins, quick needling, easy inks.

Now any pussyass fuck can take a tattoo of any size anywhere. It only hurts your wallet and nothing else. Only fucking pussies take tattoos nowadays.

Apparently the tribal tattoo fad is on the wane and now the new in thing is the Greek gods
