    If your getting text it can actually look very pretty and classy.
    Just get a nice cursive text, and to be honest I don't think tattoo's are trashy, it's body art and things like this and mod mods have been around for ages. I just think a tattoo should have MEANING other than looking cool. Go for it!

    I don't know about trashy, but I've seen a lot like that (that say "love"). So not super unique.

    Why does every tattoo have to be "unique"? Who's to say that while a certain tattoo may seem common to someone else, it doesn't hold a special meaning to the person who got it?

    "Tattooed Family Man"
    "Tattooed Mother"
    "Mom with Tattoos"
    "Tattooed Employee"
    "Tattooed Co-Worker"
    "Sister with Tattoos"
    "Brother with Tattoos"
    "Tattooed Friend", etc.
    And the problem is?

    The problem is using "tattooed" as an adjective!

    The only difference between tattooed people and non-tattooed people is that people with tattoos don't care if you're tattooed or not.

    If you have tattoos, enjoy being a colored person. If you don't, that's fine - your choice, but keep your opinion to yourself. Nobody's asking you.

    Or! How about the fact that when we are all old and crusty almost everyone will have had tattoos, so it won't be weird to look at old people with saggy tattoos, it will be VERY normal.

    That's cool, but most people at least say they want something unique. I moderate a tattoo board on another website, and have seen a lot of tattoos. So I was just putting my two cents in. But it's always fun when a noob jumps all over someone for their opinion, thanks!

    I think it just depends on what you get. I do think some words are a little trendy but I don't dislike them...just aren't for me.

    I have a large wrist cuff that wraps all the way around. It's a pattern done with a small design I used on my wedding invitations. It's all in brown and looks like henna. I really like it.

    Oh, jeez. Dude, it's a discussion. People are going to question what you say from time to time. There's no need to take it personally. Personally, I like to have my way of thinking challenged, it helps me grow as a person. If you don't like it, maybe you shouldn't put personal opinions out there for other people to discuss.

    I am covered about head to toe..I will be a nurse soon...don't let people's ignorance get to you. <3

    Curious as to why people having differing opinions is automatically ignorance?


    OP if you fell in love with the tattoo then go for it!! But you should check work policies just in case!

    I can't speak for people with tattoos (yet), but in my experience, the problem isn't the opposing opinion. It is the way the opinion is delivered. If someone is very condescending, uninformed, and presumptuous about something that doesn't involve them, I think it's fair to call them ignorant.

    I once got questioned about my tattoos from a man who I did not know, but was very good friends with some family members who were involved in the conversation. I told him why I chose what I did, and how personal it is to me and his response? A VERY sarcastic "whatever sense that makes…?" People can be VERY rude about these things. I certainly did not ask this man's opinion of my tattoos, but he certainly chose to tell me. I probably should have told him what I thought of his suit...

    I don't think anyone has given any condescending opinions though from what I have read though. The OP didn't specifically ask the opinion of only those people who have tattoos but yes it is true that many will give opinions when they are not asked or not included to participate in a discussion and that does make them seem ignorant.

    I cant tell if you have visible tattoos or not, but if you do, then what do you expect? They are a conversation piece weather you like it or not. You sound like one of those girls who gets mad at guys who stare at their t*ts when they are wearing a shirt that shows 80% cleavage. Did you really get those tattoos so people WONT look at them? No. Then expect questions about them.

    God forbid that people mind their own business. Banish the thought! "You were asking for it, man".

    I was referring to life outside of internet forums, but it applies to them as well.

    I don't know HOW a wrist tattoo can be considered trashy unless it says "*kitten* me" or something....

    If you want one, get it, who cares what people think, the only persons opinion that matters is your own.
