I’m not a fan of tattoos. There I said it, I always feel a sense of sadness when I see one. I admit there are some beautiful works on some bodies, but for the most part, I see disappointments. I think they fit on certain people but not many and for the most part I see them looking ridiculous for the type of person donning them.
I have rules in my head where a tattoo should be located and also the illustration. One big disappointment was to see someone, a male, in the financial field having a small four-leaf clover on his hip. I find that to be feminine, too feminine. I don’t like men having them on ankles or the small of his back either.
I wanted to gasp for air yesterday as I found out my niece got a tattoo on the small of her back. It wasn’t a small tattoo but two whole lines of writing covering her whole width of her back. What it said isn’t important but it was stupid, really stupid. She isn’t even 18 years old, so you can only imagine the immaturity of it. I’m usually not that judgmental about things but on this area I am and I can’t help myself. I’m not a fan of tattoos.
It’s gonna look bad when she grows old and wrinkly.
Yes, in poor taste.
I dated a girl about 15 years ago who had an “angel” tattooed on her lower back. She was probably 18, and 100 pounds when she had it done.
Fastforward, 20 years, and she’s in her late 30′s, I’m in my late 20′s and we’re dating and she asks me if I want to see her tattoo. She shows me her lower back and asks me to guess what it is.
It looked like one of the great lakes. It actually looked like Lake Superior. I tried to pretend I knew but found out she was 50 pounds heavier.
We never went out again.
Tattoos… Not cool!!!
No, they aren’t cool- especially on top of back bacon.
I am also not a fan of tattoos. We’ll all made stupid fashion mistakes but a person can easily cut a mullet or change out of MC Hammer parachute pants. Tattoos are permanent unless you opt for surgery.
Yes, you don’t know how close I came to telling her to be sure and choose a career that pays enough for getting that removed.
