The pics thread

There's really nothing to argue about.

You mean about tattoos?

 

[mutantllama]

I had a feeling I'd piss someone off. Can't say I was expecting that many angry quotes though.

I was really just looking for a debate, but this topic's probably too subjective and/or sensitive for that. If anyone would care to say why they actually would (or do) have a tattoo, feel free.

I've been waiting to say that for a long time.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Glad to oblige.

I'm stunned at the amount of negative comments on tattoos. I'd say 90% of the metalheads I know have at least one tattoo. I can't think of any other form of music it would be more widely accepted.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

I don't know why anyone would bash one or two tattoos, tbh. I just don't like when people have no normal skin left on their body.

Tattoos are for posers
Bring on the branding irons!

That said, tattoos can be cool (like that chick with the flowery tattoo) or really stupid (think Tommy Lee)

 

[zabu of nΩd]

As far as chicks go, I've always found them less attractive if they have a tattoo. That's probably due mainly to my earliest associations with tattoos being from 'white trash', hookers, etc.

You mean about tattoos?

Yes. I don't understand why you or MasterOLightning are getting butthurt over people harmlessly expressing themselves.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Butthurt? I just felt like shooting off some opinions about them. Granted, they were pretty silly ones, but it's not like I was committed to them or anything.

 

[Vilden]

Tattoos can be ok, if they are meaningful and not tribals. I've considered getting one myself for awhile but it probably wont happen.

What I hate more then anything in this world though is this retro trend bullshit. 15 years old girls with super mario or NES controllers on their body/shirt. Fuck that shit, they weren't even around to play it when they were the bleeding edge consoles. Stop trying to be "cool" and "oldschool" just because you found it in your brothers closet someday and played one game of super mario plx.

I like tattoos because I think they look cool and they make girls look hot

Oh, I fucking know, man. It's like kids don't have their own culture today so they have to steal ours. One time, my sister (16) was wearing one of those pre-faded Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles tee shirts and it made me angry.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Well, '80s culture was pretty badass. I'd feel pretty gypped if I were in their generation.

I want to get a tattoo.

Not sure what of, and won't get one until I am.

Dude.

I'm getting that tattoo.

Decision made.

 

[SentinelSlain]

It doesn't imply that at all. If anything the term is classist, not racist.

Ahh but in origin it does. It's not like there was white trash, black trash, yellow trash etc. There were none white and white deemed as being so low that they were at the same level.
