    Default TATTOOS...

    Why do the gang banging, wannabe badasses make people sterotype people with tattoos and throw them in the same category. Does anyone agree or am I talking out of my ass. My tattoo count is growing, and will continue to grow. I think it as permanent art. I think alot of people get tattoos for other people to think they are badass. Discuss

    This issue comes in many forms. I have two tattoos that are dedicated.

    My thigh for my daughter and my superman symbol for a friend thats passed.


    All the other tattoos I get because I liek the art. New school, old school, asian inspired, etc.

    Exactly. I just love the thought of traveling around and getting artwork done from multiple people. I like different shit. It just cracks me up when Ive seen 100 people with the same cross, on the same arm, in the same spot, in the same town, haha

    I have two that means something. One on the back of my arm for my dad. ALVIN knows about this one. And one on my shoulder blade. I will also have another for my father when i get the money up to have it changed. But I get them because i like them not to make people think im a badass. I like being different as well.

    I have a nautical star just like everyone does. But It is colored in blue which was my fathers favorite color and he alsways told me to shoot for the stars so i thought it fit kinda well.

    I don't think tattoos have to mean anything. I agree with the permanent art aspect of it all. I hate how people always feel the need to explain their worthless tattoo with some bullshit underlining meaning. Like " The naked devil bitch on my leg is because my great aunt that never existed was satan's bitch." haha. Seriously. I am sick of people trying to explain the meaning behind their tattoos, you don't have to explain.

    in A way I agree but people do ask so sometimes its easier for me. I have 3 tattoos that people ask about the others are just art. IE my koi fish = art and my forearm = just some shit i threw together. As for my ohm people ask all the time if they see it and my thigh. I ocasionally get asked about my underarm superman symbol

    but in line with this thread...sometimes, especially due to how a person dresses w/ those tattoos..its hard not to associate them with a gang or biker

    Yea my koi = art.

    Geisha = art
    kanji + oni = first tattoo getting covered

    Tattoos are VERY addicting. I plan on getting a bunch more. I have one all the way across my pelvis, and the back of each arm. I plan on getting a half sleeve started very soon, just putting together all ideas

    I'd say something, but everyone here pretty knows that I think tattoos of all kinds are garbage. But hey, do what makes you happy and forget about those that disagree with you (like me for example).

    I think the days of stereotyping everyone with tattoos is coming to an end. Same with thinking because someone has a lot of tattoos that people automatically think you are a criminal. Shit gets old.

    Depends on the style of tats. I love sleeves and other tats that run together. "gangbangers" typically have stupid tats. Skulls, cities, dumb shit all over them.

    Yea the random shit tattoos that are all over in random spots prison style will forever get judged. I did meet a couple mexicans when i worked construction that had all prison tattoos and they looked really fucking good. I get my chest finished at the end of the month, then I will turn my half sleeve into a full sleeve

    Nice. Pics when complete! I'd love to get a sleeve, but it wouldn't look right on me or for my job.

    People are shallow.

    Don't' get visible art and then complain about what "society" thinks... we (people) are VERY visual creatures. I am not saying that it's right... just that it happens. I refuse to miss out on a cerain job - a certain girlfriend - or a certain ANYTHING b/c of how I look if I can help it. But on the flip side, I'm ME and will always be me. A lot of times in life though you gotta be able to "play the game" in order to get where you wanna be. If I have a business and you are making house-calls for me in that business (i.e - cable guy) you are representing my company when you knock on some1s door... so you HAVE to know that perception matters.

    I have a tatt on my thigh --- that's it. If I get more (unlikely) it would prob still be somewhere a little less "public" than a lot of people's art.

    As for me, I give people the chance to prove to me that they are not an idiot... doesn't matter what they look like. But not every1 does that.
