Why do people get tattoos? What's the point of getting an

They want to feel original, too bad when they are stupid and ink themselves with something generic like
>butterflies
>comic characters
>said bible verses
My grandfather was a sailor, he tattooed himself name of every city it's port he visited on his back, map of the world on his belly and chest and anchor on his right arm. It looked fucking cool and when I saw it he already was ~60.
I personally wouldn't ink myself, it's too permanent. I'd get bored with it week after.

Because they choose to affirm their identity through their external appearance instead of internalizing their values to become the person they imagine themselves being

it's an accessory

I have some gang tattoos i got while I was in prison. Kinda regret them now desu. Thankfully they're easy to hide

>>37734383
Quotes are the worst. It just shows you have nothing to say for yourself

>>37734383
Id get a tattoo if it was art that I did but past that probably not, unless it was someone with legitimate artistic skill

>>37734383
They have meaning to some people. I don't mind them because they make easy conversation pieces and girls with tats are always eager to talk about them. I would never get any myself though.

The long and short of it is that the person is simple.

basically a tattoo is only meant to shout to the rest of the world: hey, I'm a trendfag! please, someone notice me! I guarantee you that I do exist!!

They're impulsive. If you like something you can get a shirt or a wristband.

>there is no limit to it's faith
says it all tbqh

sum up of most common reasons:
- trendy, easy way to fit in with other degenerates, also pervasive media propagation of this subhuman pseudoculture
- the widespread meme of being "a tough person who can live through pain" associated with it
- bad taste, commoners just have shit taste, and you can't really get a more trashy decoration than a tattoo, so it is extremely appealing to that demographic

>hoping to get something like this on my arm tomorrow, with roots coming down from trees and down my finger
Please do something original "tree" tattoos are very common. I'd rather get good tribal one than ""artistic""

You are so fucking lame

I call tattoos "prole stamps".

Imagine you are so uninteresting that you decide to draw on yourself to make yourself stand out.
Then you see others do this and decide to take it one step further, and get piercings on your face.

You soon realize that there is always someone more retarded than you so you decide to be the ultimate retard and ink your face, mutilate your body, and wear clothing that entails mismatching items or wearing things that aren't supposed to be worn like sink pipes and chopsticks.

It successfully causes people to notice you so you keep changing your "style" every week to keep people interested.

Do this until you're 48, then realize the mistakes you've made.

hi guys i have 3 tattoos atm and an ink time for one studio next week, wanna say what you think about these designs?
i dont really give a fuck and its been couple months so i just want new art done again

and no, tats dont make me special but it helps me stay motivated with IRL

Mused with the idea of a tattoo for years until I realized that my younger brother and I were growing too far apart. In an effort to connect, I asked him about his tattoos and eventually I settled on my first tattoo. And more since then, with more planned.

I got tattooed to try to bond with my brother and to commemorate things that mean a lot to me.

I hope this answer is satisfactory.

The eye stabbed with sword look cool but not too pretentious-tier. I feel like the majority of tattoos are too pretentious

>>37734548
But most people affirm the identities/traits of others through external appearance. This is most prevalent in male-female interactions. There is literally nothing wrong with getting a tattoo, only when you add too many or plan badly and it looks like shit.

I want a Quake or HL Lambda tattoo, but I changed my mind too often to decide it's probably going to be regrettable somehow.

I find Bible verses tattoos to be the most ironic because the Bible says not to get tattoos.

>>37735991
Not all tattoos are bad, just about 98% of them.

Would've been a little easier if you had better resolution on the designs but I'm glad I was of some help.

>autistic losers who can't understand people at the best of times give their uneducated opinions about others which are of course wrong
And I don't even have tattoos

Imagine blowing your load all over those words

I have a small white ink tattoo of the moon cycle on my wrist. I'm so pasty no one would even know it's there unless I pointed it out to them. I like seeing it and it has meaning to me. Why people would plaster themselves with walls of bullshit, I don't know.

I wonder if Saint Paul ever imagined cum would be rained down on his writings in the form of tattoos on the asses of whores
