What's with the tattoo epidemic?

[Malik1time]

Dang didn’t expect all this hate on people with tattoos

I can't get jiggy with them. Better yall than me

shyt is crazy. Used to be around summer that these weirdos came out, now it’s like every other month or something one of these cornballs complaining, or even worse patting themselves on the back. Straight weirdo shyt.

Nah. Not even. If it means something to you then get it. I’ve literally seen 50 year olds and older in the shop getting something done and they all have their reasons.

This literally makes no sense, but get those daps, breh.

I used to be like this when I was 14-15.

I thought everything popular was inherently bad. Now I just accept that some things are just not for me.

This tattoo shyt really took off when Wiz Khalifa first came out.

No tats. But if I didn't have to work in the corporate world I'd get neck tats and sleeves.

same breh..not neck tats.

definitely sleeves..but that would look very tacky in a corporate leadership role. Plus i might have tattoo regret when i'm 50.

but at my gym EVERYONE has tattoos. I'm in the minority.

Who gives a fukk? Matter fact, why would your sisters ass even be a concern? Folks care way too much about what others are doing. If you dont want tats, cool, do you, but it doesnt make you any better than someone else choosing such. They sell chips a hoy at walmart if you anti tat nikkas need a cookie

I can say with confidence I'm better than anyone with an ass tattoo, no question

 

[Thurgood Thurston III]

It's a truly disgusting practice, that hurts our eyes and disturbs our conscience

Ask any artist not tattooing you for money..You simply cant draw a picture on dark brown canvas using Black pastels and still expect it to be legible..youre not just vain youre also stupid
Black people blessed with beautiful God given look's have transformed themselves into something demonic and shytty looking

Honestly speaking, I can't help it that I dont take anyone with tats seriously as a person..youre just a copycat follower with a fake identity

I'm not tatted, but what did you think of Nipsey Hussle? He had A LOT of tattoos.

 

[frush11]

People wanna feel unique, while doing the same thing everyone is doing

 

[DA_LURKA]

I’m of the opinion that you should either be fully covered up in ink or not at all

Motherfukkers with one tattoo floating on their arm looking all terrible

 

[Nintendough]

OP gets no buns. Confirmed

 

[Deus]

Tattoos are for weak fakkits.

Identify myself for the government? Fukka outta here

what Im trying to tell you is before they were tradition, it was just one random who marked themselves just because. it would be centuries later that it would become 'tradition' but it started off some where. just a random ass dude marking himself and 'giving it' symbolism. I bet people initially , but then a few thought , century later it morphed alongside the culture. that is exactly what is going to happen in modern day society.

The oldest tattoos we've found clearly had societal implications.
Records and oral traditions from surviving societies point to tattooing being an early form of record keeping/history keeping.

Tattoo culture in the US is intertwined w/ military culture, and even those tattoos had a literal "meaning" particularly the early Naval ones.

Gang culture had a backing for their tattoos, and it was the same kind of micro-cosmic social reasoning that the early cultures had, in some ways.

Most of modern White American tattoo culture is purely for social elevation, and both cringeworthy and heavily regretted. Hence tattoo removal becoming such a massive industry.

Tattoos are a mark of vanity, an over-attachment to the physical body, and conformity.


The scriptures say you're not supposed to get tattoos.
I know I'll never get one

Religion again

 

[Armchair Militant]

I don’t even have tattoos, but y’all sound like a bunch of haters.
