    Heres my take on the PC crap. Wear what you want ,ink, pierce, dress how you want and say what you want. Everyone needs TGTFO themselves. FYI I love ink and pierceings on men & women.

    People tend to judge what they don't understand... it is pure ignorance...

    People have been getting tattooed for only 5,300 years or so. Give it time, the critics will come around.

    I was pretty surprised about the responses, for a country that is so diverse there are more people here who judge rather than where I come from.
    I am impressed by your abilities to read the minds of others where you live, since not everyone expresses their like or dislike.

    FWIW I don't really like tats on anyone. Except Ami James. I'd have so many of his babies...

    But really, I just like regular ol' skin. Not ignorance. A preference. And I don't think ink looks "worse" on women.

    People love to find reasons to look down on someone else. Tattoos are a lousy one. I much prefer to hate people for being monumentally stupid. There are a lot of those f'ers running around!

    Perhaps an analogy:

    Imagine a double cheeseburger.

    Yum.

    :laugh:

    Agreed. I don't really care about other people's tattoos, even though I'm tattoo-free. Like you said, it's like an outfit. If you like them great, if you don't then don't get one.

    I'm over the boob posts too. Yes, breasts tend to shrink when you lose weight. If it bothers you that bad, get a boob job. You don't have to ask complete strangers their opinion on it.

    I think tats cover something far more beautiful (skin). I don't like them, my husband has several and to me it is like when you look at something beautiful in nature that has had graffiti tagged on it. I would much rather see the real thing than have it covered up.
    Don't laugh, but I wish so bad I could just see all of him, I feel like I am missing the part of him he covered up and it is like he is covered up all the time :(

    If I gave a crap about what people think, I wouldn't have covered myself in ink. It's ridiculous to think that people won't judge you when you are outside the normal. It doesn't matter... if you have such thin skin that they get to you, then that's your problem, not theirs!!

    I love my ink and I did it for me. If someone is prejudiced against me because I have ink, whatever, f-off then. LOL

    Isn't the decision of getting a tattoo, although obviously more permanent, the same thing as asking someone why they decided to pick the outfit they wanted to wear that day?

    Not totally the same. Clothes are practical because they protect us from the elements and it is illegal not to wear any in public. Tattoos are not practical. They are artful. If you are more of an artsy person then you will like tattoos probably. If you are more of a practical person you will see tattoos as a waste of time and resources.

    There was just ~another~ poll on yet again, why or why not people like tattoos on girls. (the OP did do a good job at asking the question though - i don't think she was being rude at all, that's why i got into that one, usually they just piss me off)

    I appreciate you saying. I was honestly not looking for approval or validation, I can make up my own mind.

    I was curious as to what motivates the negative responses (excluding the subjective "not for me" opinion), and I didn't really get an answer thus far. Reading between the lines, it just seems that very negative reactions are rooted in closed-mindedness.

    I certainly wasn't looking to start a "should i get a tattoo?" "do you think tattoos are hot?" thread, but I suppose it ended up being that anyway!

    I don't judge anybody with tattoos UNLESS they have an offense tattoo.. then I have a problem with it but most ink is art on your body.. and 2/3 of mine are memorial tattoos so they have a special meaning.

    I got my tat back when girls who got tats were labeled 'edgy' it was super uncommon for a girl to rock one.

    I get them for ME not anybody else.

    Can we pick on people who still have a mullet? or a rattail? please?

    I have 12 single tattoos and a half sleeve.

    I also have snakebites and guages.

    I work for the county. I am the first person anybody sees when they walk into county counsel.

    I will continue to get more tattoos.

    Why?! Because I think they are effing amazing.

    I think they are even more amazing on guys.
    Actually I wont date a guy unless he has tattoos.
    Just a preference. Lol.
