Don’t get me wrong tattoos are great I have seen very neat ones. But I have also seen people who can barely afford anything or just down on their luck get a tattoo? Where are the priorities at?

    Normally, I would say the answer to a “Am I the only one who thinks …?” on the internet is always no. There will be another person who thinks that. In this case, my guess is though it’ll be hard or sheer luck to find that other person.

    Do you live a life of asceticism? Do you spend money on anything just as a treat for yourself? If the answer is no, then well done you. Hope you’re happy. If the answer is yes, then you are just like the rest of us.

    “Am I only one who thinks that games are for wealthy or semi wealthy people? Why not use that money in a CD, Volunteering, or Donations? Kind of feels a little bit selfish?”

    Same energy. Swap out “games” for pretty much anything…

    respectfully, o.k. boomer.

    tattoos are just like any other form of self expression or luxury item. it’s worth the expense to the individual and money could always be spent ‘better’ from someone else’s perspective.

    How do you know I don’t volunteer my time? Second, I think you should blow it out your ass if you think that you get to decide what other people do with their money.
