What is your opinion of tattoos?

[Anonymous]

I think the person wearing tattoos got them to look edgy and cool.

Which has the opposite effect, obviously, of making the look like try-hards. Tattoos were last edgy and cool in the 1960s. Tattoos lost all coolness when sorority sisters started getting Chinese characters they didn't understand tattooed on their butts.

I do think the explosion in tattoos is a reflection of something changing in society as a whole. Perhaps it's a loss of societal confidence. People speak of tattoos as a meaningful extension of their identity and effectively their own personalized stamp that no one else can have. But when you think in those terms and treat your body like that, it means we approach society quite differently than past generations did. I don't find it healthy, if anything, I find that it reflects a degree of narcissism and lack of self-confidence.

Dirty spirit, mind, and body. A disbalanced person I should keep away from.

Do you often show that much skin to an interviewer? I guess that's one way to get a job.

Right. Who is wearing a tank top to a job interview?

Why hide your artwork, if you think it's so beautiful?

FYI. I’m a director at one the large federal contractors and wear my sleeve fully exposed almost every day.

It’s against company policy but they look the other way when you’re selling work.

Yuck! How tacky and unprofessional to ignore company policy.

So many people don't think rules apply to them.

When I see a person with lots of tattoos, I think that they hate themselves.

I really think most are so ugly. And look trashy. They are not my idea of art. Most are not even tasteful.

Nothing ruins a beautiful look like a tattoo.

Insightful comment.

Tattoos go back to the years B.C. What's changed in out culture in the last 75 years or so is people's comfort in letting them be seen. The pendulum will no doubt swing the other way eventually.

Well, obviously they don't. If they did apply to me, I would be fired. And since I've been employed here for over 20 years, its pretty clear that they don't apply to me.

Nothing is every black and white. People in authority suddenly become very flexible with "rules" when its also in their best interest to break them. If they fired me, I would just bring my rolodex (for lack of a better term) with me to a competitor.

So yeah, the rules don't apply to me

I’m fine with tattoos as long as I can’t see them.

People who get them have no self control and low intelligence.

One of my neighbors was bitten by a dog at a park and was able to find the male dog owner because she got pictures of his unique calf tattoos. People on Nextdoor recognized him based on that. I don't make a big deal about tattoos but I guess I associate them with some level of stupidity.

🤮🤮🤮

Any and all body “art” is just trashy in my eyes.

Makes a person look desperate for attention.

Especially women all tatted up.
