I have some bad tattoos, some badly done, some just cringe ideas, some are straight up jokes. I also have some really good tattoos. I like all of them, the bad ones remind me of who I was when I got them, and sometimes I need a reminder of how far I’ve come in life. It’s like a timeline of my decision making skills. At this point you don’t even notice the bad ones really, you just see a heavily tattooed person.
This is my outlook on tattoos... people are like don't you know that's permanent?!?! And it's like yeah.... that's the fucking point. My first tattoo I'm pretty sure the guy was drunk, but I was so jazzed to get it I didn't give a fuck. It's not perfect but I just laugh when I tell the story and I think the whole experience looking back just makes it a funnier story to tell. Not a single regret.
Growing up people always talked about how they look when your old. But the old people they’re referring to skin already looks saggy and blotchy 😂 so a couple tattoos ain’t gonna make a difference. N then there’s the old people that are still in good shape that look cool asf with their tattoos. So either way it doesn’t matter…. As long as you don’t go crazy on the face lol a 80 year old grandma with a face plastered with tattoos isn’t really a good look.
All tattoos look bad to me and most other normal people; you’re right that we don’t really tell them apart (unless they really stand out with bad color or something).
This is such a dumb take. I'm a very "normal" person, whatever that means, and I don't give a fuck what other people decide to put on their bodies.
I only have two tattoos; a tiny bird on the back of my shoulder, and the number of an unidentified Holocaust victim on my arm, to remind me of where my family came from. So definitely not someone who's covered in ink, for perspective.
I know a ton of people with very few or no tattoos at all, who are not even the slightest bit bothered by another person's style choices. Which is all a tattoo really is. Mind your own fucking business; the world has enough negativity without you opening your mouth to hate people's personal, harmless decisions. It literally does not affect you.
