No, you're not. You're just like every other sheep out there that doesn't get a tattoo.
NOBODY is original and not getting a tattoo is NOT counter-culture. Out of my close group of friends, I'm one of only 2 who has a tattoo, out of probably 30 or so people. Not everyone does it to fit in or jump on a bandwagon.
Tattoos are not a social statement anymore because they are no longer a sign of counter culture. OTOH, neither is not having one.
The typical tattoo, something on the shoulder, back, leg, etc is the equivalent of getting the top of one's ear pierced. Not something everyone does but not noteworthy. Extreme tattoos, like those on the face, are like more extreme piercings.
True, but having ink on it pushes it into the scary zone.
I was told I'd be in a wheelchair by the time I was 25, and likely dead by the time I was 50...the fact that I'm now 30 and still walking and relatively healthy is amazing. Yes, I'm heavily tattooed, and if I make it to the point where I'm old and wrinkled I'll be so happy, considering that was almost taken away from me.
Maybe people need to put things into perspective. I'd find it sad if you were that focused on looks at that age.
Even though I don't really like tattoos if she has to have any I hope they're hearts and something pretty and not something like a black widow tattoed between her breasts.
Is it just the conservative side of me, or are tattoos (tats) the most disgusting, repulsive and grotesque eye sores on the human body and complete turn-offs?
It's you.
I don't care for tattoos, either - I just lack overweening self-absorption that compels some people to convince themselves that their subjective tastes are, in fact, objective truths. But they're not. They're just preferences.
It cracks me up when people pontificate about staunchly mainstream ideals as "counter-culture."
I also crack up when people pontificate about being "non-conformist" but they dress in the uniform of the millions of other "non-conformists" - like the city hipsters complaining about suburbanites.
