I don't have tattoos myself, and most I see on the average Joe are cheap looking. I've seen some well done ones on athletes though. I think you need to spend some serious dough for it to look good.
Tattoos are simply a sign of vanity and selfishness. What happens when they aren't trendy anymore like big beards and plaid lumberjack shirts? I suspect some entertainer or fashion expert will buzz up something else and all the lemmings will jump over the cliff trying to get it. Sad how quickly people become followers and will do anything to be a hipster.
I agree, but would add that they are also an attempt to distinguish oneself, to stand out from the crowd (pathetically, I might add) without having to actually accomplish anything in life other than making a perpetual fool of yourself. While I defend their right to do so, I ask that they cover up their ugly indiscretion while in public so we are not subjected to your eyesore.
Tattoos are one of, if not the, ugliest form of self-desecration thee is.
Yes anything that expresses individuality is technically a sign of vanity and selfishness. Which is why everyone dresses identically...
Oh wait...
"Individuality" gained through self-desecration (tattoos, for example), instead of accomplishment, is self-indulgent vanity, just like other freakish behavior. Self-inflicted ugliness in desperate search of some absent meaning to a vacuous life.
Tattoos are the common mans way of expressing themselves.
I have more respect for my skin and I don’t feel the need to be a walking billboard.
I have to agree. Its one area where you can judge a book by its cover and be right a majority of the time. Yes there are successful intelligent educated people with tattoos some with lots of visible ones. However almost every lowlife drug addicted on and off incarcerated individual has them and quite often the neck and face variety.
For me I don't like needles, don't like pain and don't want to be dumped in the working class loser category. But to each their own.

Individuality in public display is individuality in public display. The only difference is the commitment to the individuality.
Your presumptions are amusing to say the least. I've sat at board meetings with everyone showing tattoos at Fortune 500s, guess we didn't accomplish much in our meaning absent vacuous lives other than deliver the means for you to post your vacuous opinions on forums like this.
yep..tattoos are for uninteresting people to give them something to talk about.
