I'm not going to read all the pages on this thread . . . but will throw my opinion into the mix:
It's bizarre, this increasing trend toward males and females getting one tattoo after another . . . like an obsession.
Tattoos are trashy, dirty-looking, and offensive to the skin and body, particularly if you're lucky enough to have good skin and a relatively healthy body.
You could be the most beautiful girl in the world, have perfect skin, healthy hair, a lovely smile, toned body, and stylish clothes . . . but if you have a tattoo, all of that is diminished. It's sad.
And a guy's appearance is NOT enhanced in any way and does not make him more masculine or tough or interesting.
Is this trend, and in so many cases, an obsession, merely an indentity crisis/confusion?
Is it insecurity?
Is it some misguided concept of "expression"?
I don't know, don't especially care, but I DO find tattoos appalling, and frankly, just plain D-U-M-B.
Those who can't seem to stop are like the people who can't stop getting plastic surgery. There are some real mental/emotional issues at play.
And lastly:
This society will soon have generations of wrinkled, sagging, out of shape OLD people with disgustingly wrinkled and sagging tattoos all over their bodies that will not even vaguely resemble the original intended design or form of "expression".

GROSS. YUCK. ICK.
Anyone else understand that 'point' that these people keep trying to bring up with this?
Old people get wrinkly...and?
Millions of people get their hair cut, but the hair grows out and on a good portion of people the hair falls out. But nobody is jumping all over 'people with hair cuts'.
Lots of people work out. Do they think their bodies will hold up forever? Idiots
How about these buffoons who buy socks? My socks get holes in them.
I think I have a total girl crush right now, haha.
And in response to TK, I'm referring to what he does when he isn't working. If you don't take vacations, don't waste money, work work work... what do you do with yourself when there isn't really any work to be done? (Do you read - from a library or online? Do you play chess? As compared to just sitting in your apartment/house/whatever.)

I guess he saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" never caught on with you? There's some people who won't give a second look to anyone without blonde hair and blue eyes, and there's others who would prefer to be gazing at ink when they look at their lover. Just because YOU don't like it, doesn't mean that a beautiful woman with tattoos isn't still beautiful regardless.

Well, desli, some day YOU may be a wrinkled, sagging, out-of-shape OLD person with disgusting wrinkled and sagging skin too. You just won't have tattoos.

Yeah, no kidding. Like tattoos cause wrinkles or something.
I know some people will say I'm too conservative. But I think tatoos are trashy. I don't see what is attractive about having colored ink on ones skin. Not to mention the fact that people complain about not having money, yet they're blowing it on tatoos, piercings and other nonsense.
I also tend to think that people who get tattoos, especially those who have a lot of them, have something that's a little off about them emotionally.
Does anyone else, agree? Disagree? I'm sure the people who have tatoos will disagree and most of those who agree won't have them.
Quite simple really , some peoples tattoos represent some significant in their life, other people get them for their own personal reasons.
If you want one get one, if you don't, as simple as that really, just don't go judging people on their tattoos.
