I was just thinking about this question tonight at dinner. Wife and I were waiting for a table and in walked this stunning female in her early twenties And dressed to kill. As most of us guys were checking her out simply because of her beauty, she turns around and has this huge tattoo of angle wings on her back.
You Could tell everyone was thinking the same thing as I. What a waste of a body on someone who's already lucky enough to be a 10. How do females think they'll look when they reach middle age or old. What a waste! |
Someone else's body doesn't exist to look good to you. It exists to please the person living in it with how it looks. If this person likes the tattoo, then it's not a waste. |
Because I have functioning eyes and your tattoo is in their sight. Same thing as when people smell bad. |
+1 this is a perfect way to explain it |
By that standard you should get to be the judge of tacky outfits as well. Or maybe someone else's assessment should be applied to you. The trouble is, we all have eyes. And different opinions on what looks good. Who wins? I vote, the person whose body the thing is on is the one whose opinion matters. |
"I'm atheist" There is your problem right there and I'm not interested in anything more you have to say. |
Everyone judges everyone else. You do it too. Your need for a winner is why you are so worked up over this. stop being so lame and worry about an actual issue instead of people's opinions of tattoos |

My uncle was a Korean War vet. He wore white t-shirts, and sometimes rolled up the sleeve with a pack of Marlboro cigarettes rolled in the sleeve. He had a tattoo on his upper arm, covered by his t-shirt sleeve. He was a good man, but that tattoo of wings of some sort made him look so mean!
In the 1980s movie "Officer and a Gentleman" Richard Gere's character covers his tatoo with a huge bandage. The tattoo is on his upper arm, hidden by his shirt sleeve. He hides the tattoo as a symbol of his low status and low class. He is insecure that the tattoo represents he isn't officer material. The drill seargent pulls the bandage off his arm, and tells him to be proud of those wings on his tattoo, because those are the only wings he will get, meaning, he won't pass officer training and he won't fly jets. Fast-forward 2015, and young middle and upper class and educated men, and even women, have somehow fallen victim to a great marketing scheme, making them believe that disfiguring their bodies with permanent ink markings, is really cool and their way of expressing their individuality. It is empowering for a young woman to get a tattoo, right after she slams a few cold ones, takes off her top, and makes out with her sorority sister in front of a crowd of people and a video camera recording, quickly uploaded to YouTube, while she takes a selfie of her tattoo for her Twitter! How lovely. |
| tats are trashy. |
+1000. Saying someone wasted their body is disgusting. That's a human being you are talking about. |
Lol funny how the nonbeliever is the one with empathy here. |
| Most people who like tattoos are under 30. Most people who don't like tattoos are over 40. Accept that it's an age thing and move on. If the trend continues most of your kids will have tattoos. You will love them regardless. |
| For now. Tattoos are the equivalent of naming your kid Tiffany. Sounds so good now; not so much in 20 years. |

I feel like I am in the minority in our society, but I hate hate the look of body ink.
It looks low class and reminds me of motorcycle riders. (However, I DO NOT think motorcycle riders are low class at all if that makes any sense.) I shudder to think that in forty years, the majority of people will be old and wrinkly and those tattoos will look like hell. Take a look at an elderly person's skin. Then imagine it all tattooed up. Yuck. Just that visual alone should be a healthy deterrent to stay away from body ink. |
A co worker comes in smelling like poo every day, what is your opinion? |
