Are tattoos passé yet?

Has your new uber chunky girlfriend

So only uber chunky people have tacky calligraphy scrawled on them in constantly visible places?

Have you actually looked at people when you've been out recently? I know clubs and bars can be dark, but c'mon...!

People pay ludicrous amounts of money to have a hot pincer etch ink right into their epidermal layer...

Probably interesting if you have an intrinsically important and original design, but otherwise pointless vanity.

The silver lining of tattoos for me, it was a big clue which girls have mental issues and managed to avoid 99% of them for a stress free life.

The silver lining of tattoos for me, it kept chauvinistic bigots with repressed mummy issues away, I managed to repel 99% of them for a stress free life.

I'm going to be brutally honest here... Your posts are not really suggesting a 'stress free' life.

While that was a great riposte and I'm not saying you're wrong, but you have previously admitted that you're cray cray

Seems you managed to repel 100% of men in general

Thought you were knocking off with some bird.

You are the 1%

As long as someone can look respectful in the scenario they're in, I couldn't give a hoot what kind of tattoo they have. A person could show up to work in a high ranking business with their body plastered in tattoo, but if they're all covered up, who cares.

Give me some damn artistic licence here, please!

Not any more. Current knocking off status = idle.

Small subtle tattoo on shoulder, not visible usually, and not tacky caligraphy (most of my friends/relatives don't even know I have one).

It's the people who have them all over their arms, chest, neck, legs etc that irritate me.

Oh that's your babys name? Good for you...

So you're tattoo's ok, but most everyone else's isn't?

The people with them all over their arms, chest, neck, legs etc - why or how does that irritate you?

Someone tattoos their child name onto themselves and that causes you bother - why or how?

How can someone else tattooing themselves cause you irritation? Are they coming up to you and forcing you to read/decipher/translate their tattoos?

Fixed.

Tattoos aren't for me, and I'm definitely not cool

What I don't get is why some people have skulls and the like. A skull is never an attractive image. Why would you have an image of death permanently drawn on you? Quite a few people in the "get your tats out" thread have skulls on them iirc.

I mean, if I had to (gunpoint), I'd have a kitten or something

Something comforting or inspiring.

But skulls... yuck.

Yea, meant to put that in as well.

Nope, mine isn't ok at all. I wish I'd never got it. But that's almost irrelevant, since what I'm poo-pooing here is people who have tacky tattoo's on parts of their body that are frequently visible. Something which seems to be increasingly common.

All I'm saying is, isn't it time we stopped encouraging bad body *cough* art, and started being honest that it actually isn't particularly cool.

In the grand scheme of things, life is pretty much pointless, so why care about what someone has on their skin? It makes no difference at all, even if it is rubbish.

If you're idling you need to be overclocked and benched by 8Pack.

Eye of the beholder and all that...

Ah, tattoo remorse. You're a bit like the ex smoker who goes round ranting that all smokers are disgusting filthy polluting monsters.

Surely what someone does to their body is no concern of yours? If you are finding yourself upset or put out by looking at people's tattoos then the problem lies with you not the other person.

Who is this 8Pack? And what's the significance of the 8?

More to the point, does he have tattoos that would infuriate the OP?
