The psyop is making them popular, especially for women. It used to be that only savages, prisoners, gang members and prostitutes had them. Now it’s quite rare to find a young woman that has no tattoos at all.

Badass tribesmen thousands of years ago. These days it's just classic Jewish marketing deceiving gullible goyim.

Only Human cattle get tattoos. The elites never do.

>>40679628 (OP)
The elites made it popular for two reasons: the Bible forbids it, and it's to mark which people are NPCs and which aren't.

Helps identify normies when the greys, nazis, or military does abductions. Yes all 3 abduct humans
It’s also a sign for attention seeking and MK ultra victims

As I see it, tattoos in early 20th century America were limited to very narrow classes of people. Sailors from the Navy, prisoners. World war 2 spun off marginalized veterans that started motorcycle outlaw culture with some beatnik influences and these adopted tattoos. Forearm tattoos almost always were to hide track mars rather than personal expression.

Tattoos further spread through rock and roll but it took some time. Even bands like Motley Crue didn't get tatted up until they were well established in their fame. Guns and Roses really established tattoos as a rock and roll lifestyle aesthetic through the reach of mtv.

Things really picked up in the 90's. It started with asian letters, tribal tats, barbed wire, ankle bands and eventually tramp stamps. By the early 2000's it became a liberal flex for college or art school attending urbanites to get sleeves while not belonging to any outlaw culture. This redefined the social signaling. At some point enough law abiding and educated people had visible tattoos that employers had to overlook it when hiring.

Blacks and latinos had their own pipeline through their respective music and prison cultures and that trickled into their working class. If you go to a hospital in an urban area, more nurses and receptionists than not have visible tattoos.

What we have here is an externalization of prison culture into society. Tattoos which were once a signal of renunciation of the norms of society have now become the norm. Wage slaves displaying past signals of rebellion to placate them from the reality of their plight. A very clever maneuver I must say.

My last ex got a big tattoo on her arm after leaving me. She was a virgin before we started dating.

>>40681327
They use the slave brands to signify the stages or people in their lives that they lost or moved on from or learned from.

>>40680868

The amount of female nurses and female cops with arm sleeves.... bruh

Tattoos also act as portals for demonic possession. Basically a type of sigil.

>>40679628 (OP)
It's one of the cultural fads that come and go, like people wearing wigs in 1700s. Nothing /x/ about it.

>>40681699
>Nothing /x/ about it
You’re wrong and I know it. I have a strong intuition and when I see tattoos on people I experience inner discomfort. It’s like a kind of bullseye for negative entities. On top of that, it’s such a lack of respect for the human form - subconscious misanthropy. Wearing wigs is not even close to being the same thing. Permanent markings being so popular is a sign of deep collection dysfunction and demoralization.

This is not true. Even the Tsar (emperor of the Russian Empire) Nicholas II had a big tattoo. You are uneducated and know nothing about the world, but you love to judge people.

They got popular because commenting on tattoos is an easy ice-breaker.

>t. tattoo haver

i think tattoos have a lot of bad rep because of the superstition around them, the fact that deviants used to use tattoos to rebel and represent themselves not so long ago, it is ultimately your choice whether you want to alter your body in that way, no curses and delusional magic would change that, i think that getting a tattoo wouldn't be worth it since you wouldn't have the option to efficiently revert your decision (even with laser removal it leaves a slight mark, even if there is a mark that's okay because we humans can adapt) i want my body to be flexible, to change and alter it however i want, to open up possibilities and to be as free as possible, if i changed my whole body but my tattoo gave me away, for the person i "am", i wouldn't want that to happen, to have to bear the worry of being judged for something so minor

i think the ultimate reason for the hate is the ego of others, the superstition and the need to justify the hate, as much as normies tattoo irrelevant things on themselves, i think they either bare the responsibility and the worry of whether their tattoos are appropriate, or they're ignorant to it, both scenarios are fine, it's really irrelevant and you shouldn't pay attention to small details like that as people will always be people

I noticed a LOT of women get this specific crescent moon design as a tattoo on their arms... What does it mean?

>>40679726
Be a mormon

I had a disagreement with my sister about our waitress looking unprofessional because she had 10 hand tattoos. like a little coat hanger on the top of her middle finger and small individual tattoos that were like knickknacks. This waitress was no older than 22. Anyways my sister eventually agreed with me.

>>40679628 (OP)
I have a tattoo and I'm currently in your house, fucking your mom. Make of that what you will.

>>40684827
They can kick fickle people into an identity hole in theory imo. I have played around with getting a scorpion tattoo in the last 2 months or so but I've never really wanted one. I've known people who are covered in them. I think for some people--mostly people I think who are face hand neck tattoo level, just kind of have it define them to some extent and oftentimes can't undo it.

A lot of the tattoo ink (all of them desu) contain poisonous metals. A lot of these chemicals are produced in israel desu, you can look up the biggest exporter of tattoo ink- this is mostly because they have the labs to produce this, and also there is big money in producing the 'safe' inks. But they are all cancerous to some degree. Imagine smoking, but perpetually in the skin.

The skin is the largest organ of the human body, and while we are still on /x/, the skin is our biggest attenae (sensing) second to vision and sight. Usually people who are high in anxiety/ experienced trauma get tattoos, in a subsconsious effort to 'kill' the sensing part of that area/ the sensing part.

The romantic in me appreciates the symbolism and the meaningfulness in some of them (for eg suicide survivor placing tattoo on scars, or where wounds used to be)

personally did too much research on tattoos and the complexes in health it arises so getting a tattoo now would ironically cause me a huge amount of undue stress.

For those lurking, who have tattoos, try to cleanse your body and take good care of it via health, nutrition, meditation. There is no need for guilt, shame or anger. Just take good care of yourself.

Low point of culture. A middle class woman in current year is equal to a 1500's prostitute.

>>40679726
has it not occured to you people might feel a draw to them akin to something spiritual or past life. you list only recent typically tattooed people. go back further, was it not for healing, for shamans, for protection from injury or during pregnancy, rites of passage marking.. etc open your mind

>>40679628 (OP)
Yeah, what's up with this bullshit and women?

>>40686950
damn bro. good thread and good post. I was craving for some crazy full body piece or both arms and hands. but I think I'm reconsidering now.
Still 0 tats so I might keep it that way. Who the fuck am I proving a point to anyway. Sure I look cool, maybe even pull some specific women into tats but was it worth it? Probably not.

If you think women with tattoos are whores you haven't been with many women yet and you're probably a dork

>>40679628 (OP)
Out of all the boards I’d expect /x/ to be the least christfaggy about tattoos
Who cares?

>>40688173
/x/ is highly spiritual. Tattoos have chemicals that bond and numb your first sensing organ to nature.
Increase cancer and other health risks.

These are just a few notable reasons to the statement "who cares?".

Who cares are the people that care about their body/mind.
And even if all of this isn't spiritually harmful. No one should have an issue with exploring it.
This is how science should be conducted. Open and free for discussion and exploration.

>>40688173
You don't need to be a christfag to question why everyone is getting tatted. Maybe it started as a fad, but it's been decades now. When will it be declassified as a fad and as something more permanent.

It literally does though. Dont laugh at the truth, it won't end well

>why is tattoo psyop successful

Idk to me it seems like simple conformity to what the "cool elite people" in society are wearing , so the herd obeys and follows
Whats more interesting is considering that some people tattoo certain areas based on their traumas and past experiences , so like most people with neck tattoos are similar to others with neck tattoos
Or people pierce certain spots based on traumas, experiences and personality etc

Grunge, then 00s hipsters.

>why was it successful?

Various imaging technologies make ink into holographic brands that make one stand out like a sore thumb in a crowd. Also makes profiling criminals slightly harder (narco 5th columns et. al.)

Humans have always had tattoos. they look good and you’re a pussy ass virgin autistic incel if you disagree. autistic people dont get tattoos because they are inherently different and not in a good way to the rest of their tribesmen aka humans

Why would I have ruined her life? I wasn't gonna leave her. I would have married her after she would be done with Uni. She left me and got a tattoo. She is also a lefty btw.

>>40693801
she got psyopped....

I know we are all not immune to propaganda, but some people are really, really vulnerable to propaganda

>>40693819
I think women in general are naturally and maybe even subconsciously trying to conform to trends that are popular in order to fit in. So the guy commenting abaout that earlier might have a point also.

>>40679628 (OP)
Tattoos can be nice, symbolic, they were probably more symbolic before. They can serve to mark memories or allegiance or status in society. They can be meaningless trash. It's just art. You're judging something by the metric that most people get things that are spelt wrong.

ive never met a respectable person with a tattoo in my entire life

>>40694093
Then you haven't met enough people

>>40694093
but I also sort of agree with your point. The mindset to get a tattoo is a determining factor on how a person thinks.

But then again I see many monks and martial artists that are very spiritual and clear mind and kind of heart that do have tattoos too.

So you should never think in absolutes. But again, I get your point.

I honestly think that's an insult to the 1500's prostitute. She was more likely a whore out of base material necessity. The middle class woman of today really has no excuse. She wants attention and validation more than anything else.

>>40693552
Historically tattoos used to have a very distinct meaning and purpose. It wasn't a fashion statement.

>>40696310
yeah but only when we lived in tribes dummy, even in feudal japan people got tattoos as a fashion statement.

Tanning is tattoo by the sun. What now faggot

When I was in the mental hospital people were looking at their tattooed arms and saying things like "Oh, it's flowers" like they were used to percieving them changing form. Imagine waking up one day and your tattoo has shapeshifted into dickbutt.

>>40696563
Yeah in Japan tattoos are reserved for for member of the yakuza
If you get one in Japan you have to either cover it up or be scrutinized

>>40697155
that's modern japan though, tattoos used to be pretty common and seen as just a fashion statement before the yakuza formed and the japenis got nuked and turned into a hivemind, same thing happened in the west for a while even rich people got tattoos in the 20th century, thing is tattoos are one of those things that come back into fashion for a couple decades and then fade out as culture turns more conservative, but in the end they've been a part of fashion and culture since we discovered ink.

>>40697272
They were used as way to mark ex convicts in Japan

>>40697298
those were very specific tattoos, just look at the woodblock print art of the edo period and you'll notice all of the heroic warriors are portrayed having colorful full body tattoos

>>40697651
also keep in mind buddhism is the only religion that doesn't prohibit tattoos which is why it was even more common for the japanese of that period to have big tattoos compared to westerners that followed christianity and were not allowed to ink themselves.

>GPT-4o mini

The Bible does not explicitly prohibit tattoos, but there are some verses that are often cited in this context. The most well-known is Leviticus 19:28, which says: "You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves. I am the Lord." This verse is part of a context of ritual and cultural laws specific to the Israelites of that time.

However, the interpretation of this verse varies among different religious traditions and Christian communities. Some believers consider these laws to be specific to the people of Israel and not applicable to Christians today, while others may see them as a general principle of respect for the body.

In summary, while there are biblical references that can be interpreted as a prohibition against tattoos, the issue is complex and depends on personal interpretations and religious traditions.

>>40679628 (OP)
I think the cringe tattoo epidemic happened from lack of masculinity. People have bad taste because they’re not self-reliant enough to make sense of what’s cool.

>>40699099
>lack of masculinity
Perhaps it might be an overcompensation for men having half of the testosterone that their grandfathers had. Why are women getting them though? Maybe it’s a lack of femininity on their part? There seems to be a depolarization of the sexes, which is a rabbit hole all on its own.

>>40679628 (OP)

I hate tattoos now
Like dude you are not some hardcore warrior

There are like 5 of you working at the same restaurant in different roles across the country.
