How did sleeve tattoos get so fukking popular?

[TaxCollector13459]

Nah, Bron had tattoos in high school, Melo didn't. They both started adding more tattoos as their careers wore on LeBron already had sleeves by 2008.

Melo had like 4 in Syracuse though. Must have got em during the season then. Fair enough, Repped/dapped

I am a tattoo artist so this thread is lulz.

I want my work to be at the highest levels of the trade. I want to represent my people branching out into new territories. I work for my passion to leave a legacy behind.

It's nice to hear all this tho. Sounds very lucrative.

Good for you then.

Ladies love it....I asked this one chick at work "What do you find attractive in a man?"....she perked right up and blurted out


"TATS!!" excitedly, energetically

My tats get a lot of compliments cuz it tells a story

I’ll be chilling minding my business and a chick would walk up to me complimenting me on my tats and then boom a convo would just spark from there

read a while back that something like 60% or more of millennials have at least one ink marking. Big or small. I remember the tattoo types were "rebels" or "nonconformist". Its so trendy now, I can see in the not so distant future, when the younger generation will find them cheesy. Kind if ironic that if you dont have a tattoo, you're now in the minority.

Like all trends, they all eventually burn out. I wonder how the 60 year old grandma will look back at the tramp stamp she got on her night out in Panama City or Vegas. Or the look of her sleeves once hipsters get old, and craft beer gatherings get replaced for something else.

shyt it crazy. Lame dudes are getting them now. Even some moist dude at my work got a sleeve done.

Lames homosexuals and ugly bytches who got tired of being called corny ugly and weak took over what ice belinged to bad boys and their whores

I completely agree with tattoos being mostly wack & trendy. I hate them on women, too, but like 90% of these women have them, so ain't much you can do.



...but nikkas really in here going in on beards? I've had a full beard since I was 16 (circa 2003), and some of you grown ass men can even grow facial hair. That's why y'all mad at us beard brehs lmao.



If anything, the worst facial hair trend was the chin strap. Your shyt don't fully connect? Ok, we can make a pencil-thin line around your face to give the illusion that it does. Any man with actual facial hair would have to get his chin strap shaped up every day. I had a chin strap when I was like 15. Never again.

A full beard doesn't qualify as a "trend" to me, because it's just letting your shyt grow naturally. Now, if you're only talking about these overly-manicured beards, then I can kinda see your point.

Lil Wayne made tattoos more appealing. He also made being a fiend cool.

Yeah but the fact that they are there in the first place is the problem...for me of course...it's my preference.... just don't like how that looks on a woman

Don't want to get into a debate of what is trashy or classy, since people get up in arms on the objectiveness of it all. But ink on the face and neck? I wouldnt say that leans on the classy side of the spectrum.

Man lucky you, my facial hair only began growing around when I was 20-21, still I can't grow full beard lol I can only grow a goatee.

Ain't nothing classy about that, but they ain't trashy neither but they clearly look like freaks. The 1st chick looks scary and the blondie can get it.
