“Do you think my tattoo is cool?” No, I don’t. There are no cool tattoos. “Check out my sleeve!” Oh god ew.

Tattoos themselves are stupid. Doubly so if it’s some media IP. “I put Batman on my body!” “Look at this image of Goku on my calf!” I can’t think of many things I’d want to do less than that.

There are a few narrow exceptions. Chances are yours isn’t one of them.

If you personally like tattoos, fine. I’m not saying nobody should get tattoos because I don’t like them. I’m stating my opinion that tattoos are stupid, and I am stating it here because it is probably not a popular opinion.

    Starland Vocal Band! They suck!

    Edit: I think there’s a lot more buyer’s remorse with tattoos than people admit.

      My first five tattoos are terrible lol. Both in design and quality. They’re in easy to hide places though, so I haven’t felt the need to remove them or get cover up tattoos yet

        I used to be good friends with an artist who did most of her training on herself. Her early tattoos were a little rough but with time they became cool. And the later work she did around them and touching them up gave them,and her, character.
