Are tattoos a healthy form of self expression?

You have one life

Just remember once you get forearm neck or face tattoos it's over for your career and professional reputation unless you run like a meat business or some shit

>>512600116 (OP)
Temporary sticker tattoos are fine in my opinion

>>512600116 (OP)
Womb tattoos are fine.

My newest tattoo.

>>512600116 (OP)
No, they're for idiots and degenerates. Only a moron decides to graffiti their body to try and 'express themselves'. Who the fuck wakes up in the morning and thinks "I'm going to draw a picture on myself"?
And it's even worse now, given that it's become fashionable. Not only are the tattooed morons, as they always have been, but their ranks now contain the sheep of society, to boot. Pathetic.

Cops and chefs. They ALL have tats, like it's a fucking requirement.

But I can't help but notice you don't see any geniuses with tats.

>>512600179
>You have one life
And zero self respect

Recovering chef here you aren't wrong

Where I work there's a carrier office that is a contractor which handles all deliveries. The bitches that work there handling phone calls ALL have at least one sleeve, and it's all a bunch of dumb meaningless shit. This is the only job they can perform. Sitting and looking at google maps, and making phone calls confirming delivery times. I think they make $20 / hour.

Anyone with talent
in any discipline recognizes what an absolute waste of time and money getting a tattoo is. Their attention goes entirely into their particular pursuit.

>>512602778
>waste of time and money
Yeah the ones with huge tats think it's a flex to brag about how much it costs.
>This one on my back was 1800
Dumb fucking bitch, you're not impressing me, you're telling me you wasted 1800 dollars

>>512600475
I worked with a guy who was a director of one of the biggest corps in the world he had the trashiest sleeve tats on both arms.
if you have white skin under them, they need you

>>512602647
No because in order to put lots of things into your brain, you can't also put lots of drugs into it
and hence make bad decisions that show
tats and true genius is orthogonal but it doesn't mean people don't fall off the wagon like John McAffee

>>512602948
>John McAffee
Well he clearly had pre-existing mental conditions that led, accidentally, to making software that ended up everywhere. And it wasn't a real contribution to humanity, as he later admitted after he sold the company.

As with everything, balance is the key.

>>512600116 (OP)
It saves a lot of time when you can judge a person before even they open their mouth

>>512600116 (OP)
Hatred of tatoos is the most quintessential incel trait.

>>512600116 (OP)
>>512603047
Personally I can tell in an instant if someone did something purely for attention and I refuse to give them that gratification. It's like they're saying
>Look at meee look at meee, I did something unnecessarily superficial to farm attention, pls notice me senpai senpai
Meanwhile why shouldn't they be looking at me and thinking about what they see? They stole that potential from me by being an attention whore. Get fucked.

Years of browsing /pol/. Trucks me.

I am a married father of 3. I am a machinist and I perform in a death metal band. I have tattoos, but most of them can't be seen if I have a shirt on.

Tattoos are kinda gay now, especially when people use them as a substitute for an actual personality.
"I'm obsessed!"
"I'm so addicted!"
And 99% of the time the work is meaningless or trashy highschool notebook style doodles that are haphazardly peppered all over with no coherence between them. IDK, I don't care about tattoos, but I'd rather attractive women don't get them because it ruins the canvas no matter how good the artist is.

>>512603128
Its not hatred, its disgust, you poopfucker.

>>512600116 (OP)
Small, tasteful ones are hot

Tattoo is a perfect example of a collective telepathic mind. Normies don't see a problem with it, but the entire /pol/ hates it as one person. It's amazing how it works

>>512600116 (OP)
I know a guy that got hepititis C from a tattoo gun

Nigger, just wear a shirt with a funny phrase on it if you want to show how wacky you are

More examples of that?

Isn't that enough? Another point is that men's tastes in women are different while all women's are +/- the same. Just ask about it and you'll see. Women don't seem to have an individual consciousness

>>512606472
>Women don't seem to have an individual consciousness

I've seen it happen but it really is such a rarity that its not a possibility worth considering in most cases.

Honestly, the entire idea of claiming women lack conscience becomes absurd when you realize that the vast majority of men don't have it either. Seriously, you know they dont.

you literally have a long term more than 60% chance of going blind if u tattoo your fucking eyeballs.

All tattoos are satanic. Your graffitiing a temple that isn't yours.

Agreed

Id say so, but not for me.

>>512600475
I just got this on my forewarn recently. I don’t see the problem with it.

Tats get the ladies. Unless you're inked you need to prepare for lifelong inceldom

>>512600116 (OP)
like all things in life, key is moderation

>>512606938
Yep. Most "humans" are just two-legged animals. 99.9% of blacks and browns, not sure about Asians. I'd say roughly 60% of actual whites are just animals, as well.
That's the really scary part. Once you disregard all the quadroons, castizos, and whatnot, real whites are less than 5% of the global population. At most, 2% of the population is sapient.

I'm torn on the issue. I don't mind when my friends get tattoos, I will even compliment if the art is good (but I think tats look ugly because they blend into a mess from afar), I don't find them attractive on women, but... I'm fat, losing weight, even if I achieve my goal weight, I'll still have reminders on my body of the past abuse. So it's unfair of me to expect my potential wife to have never commited an error in life. So I've decided that if the tattoo is in a normal place, is not retarded, and she regrets getting it, then I'd forgive her on the condition she doesn't get any more. Of course she'd need to be a virgin so it's like looking for a unicorn, I'm just pondering ideals, not whores.

>>512600116 (OP)
Yes. I am so glad that injudicious people voluntarily tattoo themselves now to be easily identified, because I do not get along them with them at all.

>Are tattoos a healthy form of self expression?
Yes, but I have a rule. Never above the collar, never below the watch.
I can understand people thinking it's distasteful. I grew up sitting across the dinner table from my Grandpa who had a bunch of them, tattoos don't bother me, but, personally, seeing a person completely covered with them communicates to me they hate themselves.

>>512600179
One (1) ?

Google The Black Alien project to see what thinking you can treat your body as if it was a bunch of spare car parts. And yes, that includes injecting ink on it.

>>512600116 (OP)
It's unhealthy expression, specially at that level which tells me you have big mental issues and I should cross the street to avoid you.
