Lol! You’re full of great employment ideas, for the heavily tatted.

I think heavily tattooed people are best for working as clerks in record stores.

I mean, if I was to ask one of them what is the best Ozzy Osbourne album to buy, they would immediately know.

Stupid people are going to be...well...stupid. Plus they vote only for democrats for the same reason.

Getting tattoos is a passing fad...and sign of mental illness and tribalism.

I live in an area with many modest-income retirees. Quite a few of them have tattoos that aren’t aging well. Oddly, they seem to favor shorts and tank tops. Oh well, whatever. They’re wonderful neighbors all the same.

Good for them. These days, not having a tattoo is an act of rebellion. Their peers likely fear them. :-)

I like tattoos as well, but not most of them. My husband and I are tatted, not as extreme as this lady. We would never get anything on our face, neck, or head like we have seen many do. We don’t care for piercings, either. I have a background in art, and my tats are art-nouveau-inspired florals. My husband has a tattoo of St. Michael killing the dragon done in the classical style. Anyhow, to each their own. If I had a crappy tattoo, I would probably regret it like this lady. It’s not something to do impulsively, which is why so many young people who get them regret it when they’re older.

At least she didn’t cut her breasts off.

"Do you get pressured to get one in the Marines?Do you get pressured to get one in the Marines?"

LOL, only if there is alcohol involved! And lots of it...:)

If other people get them, it is clearly their business. However, if I see someone with visible tattoos on their hands, neck or face, and I draw conclusions about the person, justified or not.

This video below, by "Blue Collar Logic" explains well how I feel about them:

I do not mind small tattoos in discreet locations, probably for the same reason I like tan lines. They make me feel special! :-)

Yes...I am not bothered by pink, greenor whatever color hair...it is temporary...tats, esp EVERYWHERE are a sign of immaturity or stupidity.

She sure will regret it as will all women who think their tats are cool today.

Women's skin does not age well beyond the age of 50. By the time they're 60, those tats on skin tight bodies today will look like rain soaked and dried out old comic pages from last years newspaper.

I chuckle whenever I envision an 80+ old woman in a hospital, walking down the hallway pulling an IV stand and the back of her hospital gown open and revealing what was once a butterfly tattooed on her butt.........LOL!

The irony of tattoos is that these people are trying so hard to be nonconformist that they become conformists.

Don't forget to add "cool"....+1

I see a young man occassionally at or in the shopping area of a coffee (just coffee) shop I enjoy. He has always had some tatoos.

I saw him recentley and his entire neck on one side was totally tatooed into dark black (no art, just as if it was painted totally black). It is a mystery to me how someone comes to like such looks for themselves. I have wondered if the mental roots are in some kind of identity dysphoria, and on the order (severity) of things like anorexia.

Daughter #1 is stunningly gorgeous and decided to do this to herself. Breaks her mother’s heart and mine. Married, two beautiful grandkids, but permanently marred herself. I hate it.
