“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.

    This doesn’t even touch on how they look once the skin starts to droop, sag and wrinkle.

    Tattoos can be cool, but they all expire eventually.

      We all expire eventually dude, we all droop, sag, and wrinkle. Who’s gonna be looking at my saggy ass when im 80 and care that I have an old tattoo on it? I’ve never understood this complaint, can you elaborate on it for me?

        They look blotchy and ugly, not something I wanna see on myself. I’m not telling anybody what to do with their own body, it’s personal preference. A grape may be a good tattoo though, it’ll just turn into a raisin
