why do you guys hate tattoos so much? i see people on here have such strong opinions on it but i dont understand
>>
>>84914188
I actually don't mind tattoos or piercings
I think they look cool
I might get a tattoo myself one day but they're expensive so who knows
Do you have any tattoos?
>>
>>84914188
Because we're Jewish and it's against the Torah. So there.

always looks worse than bare skin
most tattoos look like shit
most tattoos are random garbage like a name or a date or a surface-level reference
screams mentally unstable and low iq
most tattooed/pierced people regret getting them later in life
its just a low class pastime for people without a concept of the future
>>
>>84914269
but like say for a very pretty girl who had one or someone with a great body, and then i see someone react so viscerally or that its a complete turn off. are you guys being dramatic and im too retarded to tell or do you really mean it?
>>
I dont, I have one, although I'm a muscular metalhead with v long hair so am biased. I only think it looks bad when its multiple in random styles, like a ''sleeve'' where its multiple small ones that aren't very cohesive. Or blackout, blackout is retarded.

It just looks worse than without it. Looks degenerate too. Why do you care if I don't like it or not? It's also a dumb trend thing, you are permanently marking yourself for something popular.

>>84914293
for me personally I dislike tattoos because I find it harder to get along with the kinds of people who have them, if that makes sense? I don't find them ugly but I take it as a sign that this person has a completely different personality from me and we are incompatible. in my experience, people with tattoos are more extraverted and "normal" and I am very introverted and weird. I have met a couple girls with tattoos who were very pretty and kind and showed interest in me, but I still felt like I couldn't comfortably be myself around them or else I would be rejected. I am very scared of rejection (and rightfully so, I think) so I kind of just avoid everyone at this point... if there was someone I felt really comfortable with I'd just cling to them.
also when I was in uni it felt like over half the students had tattoos, which I found really strange because why is everyone rushing to get inked as soon as they turn 18? I've never had the desire to get a tattoo so I don't understand. I would like to dye my hair though I think.
>>84914238
would you get any tattoos if not for needles? what are some designs you like?
>>
>>84914188
They look stupid and ugly and are an indicator of low IQ.
>>
>>84914293
it's not a complete turn off if it's like a small tattoo on her ankle or something like that but large tattoos just look bad on women imo.
>>
Give me one reason why would you disrupt and permanently damage your dermis for some ugly ink?
>>
they all look trashy and are an indicator of poor decision making
>>
>>84914376
ah you sound a lot like me haha, though i think there are probably a lot of people who are more introverted and also have tattoos. i think i would consider my sister to be like that, she does have friends though, but id say shes introverted enough that we get along well as someone who is extremely introverted.

i wouldnt get one myself, no. even if i wasnt scared, theres just not something i would care enough to have permanently on my skin. i think they can be cool for other people though and i dont mind them at all in that way.

>>84914441
above for you also. but yeah, i just think though that its not a big deal and personally i have no real reason to yuck someones yum if its not hurting anyone.
>>
>>84914459
>if its not hurting anyone
Retarded phrase used by normies who can't think for more than three seconds. Eating shit is bad and it doesn't hurt anyone
>>
>>84914631
I mean yeah, I don't care that much if someone eats shit as long as it doesn't affect me or anyone else. There are more important things with which to concern myself.
>>
>>84914641
Eating shit spreads communicable diseases retard.
>>
>>84914631
i mean eating shit probably would hurt someone lol. but genuinely for this case i feel just indifference, why should i force myself to be bothered by some ink on someone elses skin? thats just unnecessarily inconveniencing myself
>>
>>84914188
They just look like shit. Like imagine seeing a beautiful paining then some guy comes up and starts scribbling on it.
>>
>>84914188
99.99% of them look like shit
1 or 2 small ones don't really bother me but many people eventually end up getting several and it looks like they graffitied on themselves
I have never seen a tattoo that improves the beauty of a naked body
I like the human form as it is and covering up your skin permanently detracts from it
The ink fades with time so it quickly starts to look even shittier than it did when it was first applied
>>
>>84914681
>why should i force myself to be bothered by some ink on someone elses skin
Because you see them whenever you go outside.
I don't like seeing ugly things when I go outside so I complain about it especially if those ugly things are by choice and not because someone was born with an unfortunate face.
>>
>>84914674
you are taking your own metaphor too literally. tattoos do not spread communicable diseases. I don't even understand what point you are trying to make.
>>
>>84914695
yes but that would only be a problem if it bothered me no? why would i change my opinion just so i can be more irritated?
>>
>>84914681
You act as if people who despise tattoos (or anything) have a dedicated thread about it and seethe endless every time they see someone who has or does x thing
You see something you don't like and go "ew" for a second then go on with life. Only total schizos let their dislikes live rent free in their head
>>
>>84914683
if some guy decides to scribble on his own painting, that's fine, it's his own art. people choose to tattoo themselves. if you don't want tattoos you don't have to get them. people don't get tattoos because they think they look bad, to them it looks good. if you think it looks bad then that's just your own aesthetic preference. there is nothing objective about that and your opinion isn't any more valid than anyone else's.
>>
>>84914707
You don't have to change your opinion. But you want to understand us and ask for our opinion so I'm just telling it.
>>
The people who get tattoos are just vapid consumerist losers as well
>you see, I got this tattoo of a corporate logo or pop culture icon or brand because I have no personality beyond the media I consume and that's really important to me
>>
>>84914720
yeah sorry i think people started to misunderstand what i mean, i was just wondering why i dont care if you hate them or not i just was being curious xd
>>
>>84914707
Why are you acting like we're the ones trying to convince you?
You asked us why we dislike tattoos, and we're telling you the answer.

The reason is simple.
Look at this picture.
>>
>>84914188
1) I simply don't get it. I don't relate with you on the need to permanently put a scribble on your body. Your mind will inevitably change and you're gonna look like a stupid old hippie one day. You probably have a fatalist outlook and "I won't be getting old :^)" but the years will fly and you probably won't have the guts to off yourself and the drugs/partying probably won't kill you.
2) it's fucking ugly and stupid on a visceral, obvious level. You look like a public school desk. A dive bar stall.
3) life has just taught me you are unreliable as relationship partners
4) it's no longer subculture, but mainstream and borderline monoculture. Everybody has them. It's passe, and even though it's a fad that will wax and wane, you'll still have it on your stupid body forever. You're not that far off from a troon in this way.
t. frequent anti-tattoo shitposter
I wouldn't necessarily turn a girl down for it (because 90% of them have them) but I simply find them eyesores and I don't get it. At ALL.
>>
>>84914312
I think there are certain subcultures that fit them. Bikers? Metalheads? Sure. EVERY-ONE though? It's just so tiresome. I'm tired of every woman looking like a methwhore or Easyriders magazine spread, and there's no coming back from it.

If you're not killing people or beating ass on a regular basis they don't suit you at all. This doesn't describe most women. Unless you're a dyke cartel dona you should not have them on your skin.
>>
Tattoos correlate very highly with poor impulse control and poor life outcomes (due to the former). My hatred of them is largely due to actually being used by terrible people. If, by some odd cultural change, the only people who had them or were allowed to have them were academics who made successful contributions to the arts and sciences, I would perhaps reverse my opinion on them. They would then be a mark of intellectual success, and not the mark of being able to scrounge together 50 dollars to pay someone to showcase your poor decision making capabilities and likely high chance of mental illness to the world.
Additionally, the tattoo ink is absorbed by the body, gets drawn into your lymphatic system, and worsens your health, so it's a double whammy.

>>84914293
I am 100% serious were I to say it's a complete turn off. Again, I know the kind of minds who tend to get them. An attractive woman with a tattoo is almost always a walking red flag and future basket case. It's like a woman who becomes a porn actress. Yeah, it's possible for a normal woman to become one, but almost always its due to terrible upbringing or damaged psyche and a terrible life awaits them (without even touching the obvious stuff like chastity and views on sexual mores).
>>
>>84914362
Consider this: "why do people feel so strongly about drugs and drug addicts?"
Yeah, it's possible to do a line of cocaine every now and then, but almost always instead you get lives being ruined. Strong negative attitudes common in society always have a reason.

>>84914641
Eating shit if literal will cause health issues which can spread to others or at the very least increase the cost of healthcare for you due to costs being socialized via taxes or insurance.
Eating metaphorical shit signals a demand for said metaphorical shit and can shift the market towards producing more shit which can cause harm to you indirectly via toxic fandom actions, or lessening the chances of actual good content being produced.
You're concerned with first order effects, because you perhaps lack the ability to understand second and third order effects.

>>84914696
Tattoos may not spread diseases but see my earlier comment on the lymphatic system. The objectively do decrease the health of the person.
>>
>>84914188
I don't mind a tattoo or two that has some meaning or sentimental value to someone. It starts getting ugly when they start getting random shit just scrawled onto them on seemingly random spots on their body because they think it looks cool. It tends to look trashy more often than not.

I don't personally care for the look but they are entitled to do whatever they want with their bodies, just as I am entitled to think it looks like shit.

A tattoo is fine. What I don't like is the current fashion of having a disorganized mess of tattoos. Literal goybeamed behavior. I don't care about the "low impulse control" angle. It just looks bad to me and my cock doesn't like the look.

Haha taddoos

>>84914293
It really is disgusting. I don't understand how you don't naturally have that reaction, it's like seeing someone with shit smeared on themselves. It's not like I'm thinking about it ideologically, it just is viscerally gross.

If she's very pretty, like a date I had recently, of course during the date:
>"I have BPD"
>history of drugs and sex abuse

What a shocker, huh? What a shock and fucking revelation that a girl with a bunch of stupid tattoos would be like this.

it's such a strange concept.
eyeliner can look (really) attractive. this is known.
but a dark green scribble of a flower on your lower back? why?
>>
>>84915985
Irreversible, fades and warps. The eyeliner doesn't have these attributes. What used to be limited to midwestern bar skanks and biker whores is now on everyone. How are you not getting this, dumbfuck?
>>
>>84916008
i'm earnestly asking, anon. i agree with the thread they look like graffiti.

but i'm willing to hear someone out. even the people bringing up bikers, that doesn't change the look of them. same goes for fi a tattoo carries a story (military, gang, whatever). it still LOOKS like a doodle of a shark on your arm.
>>
>>84916071
it's really easy to brainwash women if you control the celebrity class. this is probably just another test to see how far the goyim are willing to kneel down for their masters
>>
>>84914721
If someone decides to scribble on their body, they are allowed to do so. We are not attempting to ban the practice.
We simply say we think it looks terrible and judge them for it.
>but it doesn't hurt anyone!
Correct. But it doesn't have to for us to find it distasteful. That's what having an aesthetic preference means.

>your opinion isn't more valid than anyone elses!
No one is saying it is (or isn't). We are simply stating our preference. It looks bad. The end.

To give an analogy. The pro-tattoo crowd is saying "every body is beautiful!" as a obese protestor fighting against beauty standards. And that may be so, from one perspective. However the overriding societal opinion is "being obese looks terrible". So go ahead and be obese if you want to, just know people will judge you.
>but anon being fat has health issues! It's bad for you!
Wow so now aesthetic preferences actually are indicative of some objective truth and humans form opinions on things despite potentially not having the concrete knowledge of it?
Wow if only there was some mass statistical proofs of lower impulse control or other behavior traits associated with tattoos. That'd be really telling if such a correlation existed.

Tats, piercings and dyed hair are peak normy. They're not freethinking rebels expressing themselves, their "subculture" was advertised to them by corporations and they conform to it in desperation to fit in with incredibly hyperjudgmental normies and likewise end up the same way. It is a continuation of normy pecking order bullshit that most /r9k/ bots went through in high school.

These people will literally hate you for the most innocuous reasons, the clothes you wear, your haircut, a different taste in music or interests outside pop culture. Naturally they are all in on the "woke" thing and you have to tread on egg shells around them, you can't really talk with them about the news or whatever, you can't talk to them about much in general. Basically you exist to entertain them and you have to fit a certain mold or they get upset and start getting nasty and malicious. I can fake being a normy and get by, but it's all so tiresome.

After a family tragedy I started to fail my college classes, but this professor was great, he actually talked to me about it, which few would for an awkward nerd. I was about to give up like so many here, but I did not. I then had to listen to said crowd bitch on him constantly behind his back, complaining about the work he set them and some measures he took to stop cheating even though this guy was intelligent and tried to be a good person they hated him. Like Ted Kaczynski said, "oversocial people" are actually awful people despite their popularity and tats are one way to signal you are such.

these are the only acceptable reasons I can think of
>have seen some serious shit in the military with your bros and you all get the same one
>are part of an indigenous tribe and get tribal patterns for cultural and larping reasons
>are Asian and are getting super high quality Asian artwork on your entire arms or back
>are in prison and are bored or want to look tough
>are part of a gang to prove loyalty and scare the shit of people
>are a tattoo artist yourself to prove you aren't a hypocrite and aren't afraid of having it done

it's cringe when people impulsively cover themselves in a bunch of random cheap images, men and women alike
>>
>>84914188
I have never seem tattoos improve someone's appearance, only detract from it. This goes for both genders, so simps and foids fuck off.
>>
>>84914293
I really mean it. Tattoos are incredibly repulsive. If they have very appealing features but their tattoos take up a total of more than roughly a 4x4 inch square of skin, I refuse to masturbate to them. Sometimes I go through the trouble of removing tattoos from images to bring foids back to their former attractive state so I can masturbate to them. In real life I wouldn't accept any amount of tattooing on a foid. I don't want that kind of foid anywhere near me, even outside of a sexual/romantic context. I would rather associate with a cleanly nigger woman than a tattooed white woman

First, my family is rich so I wake up in a penthouse in a fancy condominium building every morning. Second I get in my audi to go to school for the day. Third I do drugs and either party or chill with my books.
My mom did coke once and didn't like it but did smoke weed pretty regularly up until a few years ago, still richer than you and your entire family.
