Volcel police can't arrest me, I have diplowlmatic immunity owl-pissed

I am sick of conservative weenies saying tattoos are ugly or self-mutilation or whatever. They're dorks, losers, dweebs even. Tattoos are ART. Hot, sexy ART. Anyone who says otherwise is a repressed nerdlinger that needs to remove the broom from their ass. I see a dude with some sweet tattoos and I'm like damn he's pretty as shit.

I always wanted to get a cutaway diagram of the bones and musculature of the forearm on the inside of my forearm.

But a tattoo like that is complex and expensive, and I don't have the money or trust in any local tattoo artists to get it done.

Don't want 'em but it's none of my business what a person chooses to do with their own skin.

Except for calf tattoos....ewww

I like tattoos, my one piece of advice would be don't get them anywhere on your hands, forearms, neck and head ideally, bc those are commonly used by police to id people. If you do have forearm tattoos, I'd recommend a basketball style shooting sleeve when engaged in extracurricular activities, as an extra layer of insurance

I kind of want a little tatu of a giant butterfly (the artistic kind, not a photo-realistic one) but I also don't want people to be able to identity me by it. sadness

maybe, but you really don't want to have the discussion about why that is

[-] ScrewdriverFactoryFactoryProvider@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

Explain

Well I suppose it really only applies to tattooed women and their perceived likelihood, by men, to make certain decisions.

[-] NewAcctWhoDis@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

This is a popular opinion. Who's making you pretend they aren't?

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

I just don't care for them on my own body. You want to do that to your body and watch it get warped as you age, go right ahead it's your body and your expression.

warped as you age

It's called surrealism

Ahhhhh

I really want some but I'm also really indecisive and I change a lot over time. One year I'll be wanting a music related tattoo, then some months after I'll be wanting something edgy with skulls, and then I'll be wanting something with dragons and shit. On the other hand, it could serve as a sort of physical memorial of what I've been into over time and what phase of life I was in.
