“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.

    I won’t use the word “stupid”, but I don’t care for them, either.

    That’s why I don’t have any, so, no problem.

    Small, memorial tattoos are fine. Also, I have respect for the commitment of a full body, integrated tattoo. If it’s not just a random collection of separate tats, added wherever whenever, but something planned from the start, and carried out systematically to cover the entire body, I can’t disparage that sort of commitment, and I’m impressed. I still wouldn’t do it, and don’t care for how it looks, though.
