I don’t have any tattoo. There were some times when I thought about getting one. But like some have already stated, if it doesn’t have any deeper meaning, then, what’s the point? It’s permanent (there’s a laser procedure, but if someone is making a tattoo already thinking about that, maybe they shouldn’t be making the tattoo to start with) so it should be something important.
So in general I have no problems with tattoos. When I see one I wonder what’s the stpry behind it.
I see a lot of guy with “barbed wire” or “tribal” tattoos walking around… do they thing that having one of those, I don’t know, gives them a bonus on toughness? It could be like that, if the tattoo was done without anesthetic or had some sort of symbolism or link to a group (only obtainable after having proven something, and not only having money).
Now, I’m quite hairy so I think my natural hairiness is good enough to express myself.
