i like tats...although, when i get another one, its going to be quite grandeur. whats fucked up is that im actually looking forward for both the pain and the ink.
If the tat means something to you, go for it. I have 2, and are both ode's to my Irish Heritage. It may mean shit to you, but I didn't get it to please anybody but myself. We'll see how it looks in 50 years. For the last 8, it looks perfect and people still ask if it was just inked.
How do you see it as insecure .. I never looked at it that way so I'm just curious ?
I didn't want to say that because I respect many people who also happen to have tattoos... but I see them the same way also. People can't accept themselves for who they are so they have to customize with tats. Hard not to see that as insecure in a way.

I guess i can see that ... it could apply to some ..not all .. I kinda see it the other way for me .. I've always loved the art of tattoo and no one else in my family has them.. I know that people pre-judge when they see my arms but i feel that i'm secure enough with myself to not let that bother me
on the flip side i think that people that are insecure are more likely not to get them because of the added attention you'll get .... i guess there's a million reasons to get or not get one .. it's a personal choice ..

You are right as well. My comment made all people with tattoos stereotype insecure people, while only a (small) part of them might actually be.

for platinumpimp too
valid point - also entertain the opposite - a person being secure with themselves who think and live life to please themselves.
MOST people cant grasp this concept or cant accept that people actually think this way and allude it to an insecurity BECAUSE of their own insecurities.
MOST people dont have the capacity to entertain thoughts other than what their parents taught them - what is and isnt accepted social behaviours ect as well as thinking/acting/questioning outside the parameters set forth by society.
then again everyone is entitled to their opinion.
strength is a character that is admired and loathed at the same time.
and talk about insecure, you are guilty of that in your statement above.
youre afraid to say what you mean and you contradict yourself doing so.
in one sentence you say you "didnt want to say this" which really means " i dont wanna hurt anyones feelings because because i disagree with them and i dont want to look like an insensitive asshole for being honest" which translates insecure in my book.
then you go on to say you have no respect for people with tatts because tatts are a sign of insecurity.
but how can you have respect for those that are insecure?
oh you respect their feelings and youll say you do like the person ect
if you have no respect for tattoos, then you have none for those adorning them.
you dont have respect for people with tattoos.
thats ok.
also
why do you wear your hair the way you do?
the clothes you wear?
the music you listen to?
the food you eat
the friends you have
the person you fuck
the people you love
the things you hate
the car you drive
ect
the list is endless and so can the discussion of this topic
Carlos Mencia did a piece on Tattoos on a monologue about tribal tattoos. He made a great point that a lot of people get tattoos that are perhaps not appropriate or accurate. Namely white guys with tribal tattoos.
Some guy stood up and said he had a tribal. Typical white guy.
Carlos said something to the effect, "and what tribe are you in Chad?"

i saw that episode - mencia is a fucking funny dude.
your going to quote a comic on the validity of who should get certain types of tattoos?
tatttoos should only be appropriate/acurate/exclusive for one group of people and not another?
i didnt know art had to be exclusive to one race/ethnicity/culture/nationality/heritage and not shared, admired or adorned by/with others.
People can't accept themselves for who they are so they have to customize with tats. Hard not to see that as insecure in a way.
I think you're way off. It really all depends on the person, but if you're stating that the only way to accept yourself for who you are is to stay in your natural born state, then lets throw hair cuts and such into the argument aswell... Most of the time someone gets a tattoo I'm guessing its not to become someone that they are not, (rest assured there are people like that, but not many), but to express something that they mean, or feel strongly about.
see thats the thing with tatts on models.. I'm one extreme or the other.. I love full on tatts like gothic sluts as part of a bigger goth look.. I hate one or two small whore tatts..
I can appreciate a good tattoo . I personally don't have any and won't until something drastic happens in my life and I wanna leave a mark on my body for ever...

Oh, I am totally with you on that. I mean, it is cool if someone gets something small because it is personally significant, but the exciting thing about skin art to me is that it is on skin. A flash whore brand is soooooo not hot to me, but elaborate ink where the person is actually expressing something is incredibly sexy to me.
I have two tattoos, I wish I didn't have the one on my back, but I like how it feels I guess, want to get another one, but don't want to mark myself up anymore.
