I came to the conclusion that they are ment to let the world know who this guy is. Its non-verbal communication. Many times its used as intimidation.
To each his own. If you don't get it, its not for you. Its also not for you to criticize.
The next thing I thought about is that its suppose the represent who you are. Dosn't that kinda close the book on maturing and staying open to new ways of thinking about the world around you? I'm just saying that the views you have at 18 should be drasticly diffrent than when you are 50.

What is the point of getting inked. It looks assinine. There is the rare one that looks alright, but usally they look foolish. People just dont have the heart to tell you.

Is this the grouchy old man thread, or what?
For every "gang thud" with not-so-tasteful tattoos, there are probably 10 normal people with a tastefully discreet tattoo...maybe to feel "sexier", maybe to record some life event, maybe to remember someone. Or, maybe just to piss off some crabass.

Talking about WoW, wouldn't it be great to have a W tattoo'd on each arse cheek, so that when you bend over people say: "WoW"?

I am still in college I see retards with tattoos everyday.Im just saying that people get tattoos thinking they are being original. then pick a tat off the wall at some sleezy dive downtown. Butterflies, dragons, larges cats. The harley logo, its all crap. Its just createing more strigent rules to conform to. Therefore stupid.

How are people who get tattoos creating "more stringent rules to conform to?"
Why aren't bumber stickers included in this complaint of yours. I find those to be more "in-my-face" annoying than a tattoo.
BTW: Many people who have tattoos design their own.

* EDIT* I applaude those who design their own. I still dont like tattoos. Gaudy Americinism, minds working too literaly.
Originally posted by SeitseIt's probably painful, but you could tatoo the back of Don King's head onto the end of your nob, so that it looks like he's sucking...
I have Mike Tyson's face on the front upper right leg just below the
waist and Foreman on the left side. My tatoo artist and I are still
figuring out how to shape Don King between them.
