“Do you think my tattoo is cool?” No, I don’t. There are no cool tattoos. “Check out my sleeve!” Oh god ew.
Tattoos themselves are stupid. Doubly so if it’s some media IP. “I put Batman on my body!” “Look at this image of Goku on my calf!” I can’t think of many things I’d want to do less than that.
There are a few narrow exceptions. Chances are yours isn’t one of them.
If you personally like tattoos, fine. I’m not saying nobody should get tattoos because I don’t like them. I’m stating my opinion that tattoos are stupid, and I am stating it here because it is probably not a popular opinion.
For the record I totally agree. But if one of my friends just gotta tattoo im gonna pretend to be excited for them. What else are you sposed to do when someone just got permanent artwork etched on themselves?
I’d be excited for them not their tat.
Right? It not being for you or not fitting your tastes does not mean that their happiness about it can’t make you happy and excited for them. Like my brother-in-law was a punter in the NFL for a couple seasons. My wife and her mother knew absolutely nothing about football and didn’t care for the game. But they both learned enough to appreciate specifically what a punter does and attended many of his games to support him. There is a big difference between loving what someone loves and loving them.
I thought your reply would end with them tattooing a football or something hahahaa
Right? How hard is it to put yourself into someone else’s shoes just enough to realize that they can enjoy something you wouldn’t enjoy yourself. And that’s so you need to be happy for them.
Instructions unclear, I now have an erection and a browser tab with badly translated Chinese characters.
As a tattoo? Now that’s commitment.
Then get a tattoo of them on yourself!
Gets a tattoo of wife with a tattoo
Reminds me of a guy I know who got his wedding date as a tattoo. Now divorced.
You could act like my mother did and be a stuck up judgy old lady about it. “Well I certainly hope you won’t regret it one day, people prefer leaders not trend followers”
Mind you I got my first tattoo at 38 and had been thinking about it for years. Which is why the only people that like my mother are newly born or nearly dead.
Edit: thanks flying_sheep
I hope you mean “newly born or nearly dead”
I had a couple of friends who were drunk as shit one night and they decided they needed to go out and get matching sperries logo tattoos immediately.
They asked me for a ride to a tattoo shop and I told them no and to stop being dumbasses. They basically called me a lame anti-tattoo prude and then took a cab to the place and got the tattoos.
The next morning they were hungover and blamed me for the tattoos cause I shouldn’t have let them go, I should have tried harder to stop them. Fuckin A…
Any self respecting tattoo artist would refuse to tattoo a drunk.
It’s practically required for them to refuse because of how alcohol thins the blood. No tattoo artist wants to take risks with a free bleeder.
Yeah I think the first one turned them down and they had to get a second cab to take them to another. They were bitching about that when they got back, another reason why I was such a bad friend because they had to pay for an extra cab to be idiots…
These people do not sound like your friends. I hope that “had” in the first post’s first sentence is literal.
Yeah, I haven’t seen them in years
Right, like if they found this “really cool” tacky lamp they were excited about. I’ll be happy they foind something that excites them, regardless of my personal opinion
