“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.

    I don’t want one myself, but I don’t think they’re stupid at all. The content or location of a tattoo might be stupid, but not tattoos themselves.

      Agreed! While I don’t think I would ever want one, I do think the idea of it is really cool just for the fact that it’s a very human thing to do. People from all over the world throughout history have tattooed themselves in one way or another, and I think that’s a cool idea to be tied to that in a way. It’s something that humans do as a species. We’re all one big family I guess!
