are tattoos cool anymore??

[Queen Victoria]

Dad had a WW2 tatoo of a coiled snake on his arm.  After he aged and the color faded, it definitely was not cool.

Mom had 4 teeny tattoos/dots on her chest that they used to align the radiation machine with for her cancer treatment.  That's the only kind I'd consider getting, not that I want cancer.

i would like to put it out there that tattoos are becoming so commonplace that the cool factor...or as in my day the please dont take my wallet you scary tattooed freak factor is being stretched beyond meaning.   nowadays every person and their cats have ink, and even a three year old boy as i saw today on facebook, i think that last one may be illegal here in oz though!!   maybe the cool thing these days is to NOT get inked??
if only i had of had the forethought 18 years ago to not get my first one id be cool as fuck right now. oh well.   

So you wish you could be a tattoo hipster?



If everyone's doing it, that means it *is* the cool thing to do, by the way, not that it's not, any more.

[renaeden]

well mine all have some meaning to me too but ive spent a bit more than 75$ over the years.  im running out of skin..might have to shave my head!!!
 
what does cohesive mean...

I am guessing he means to have them somewhat related to each other in theme?

Have you got any tattoos on your legs? There is a whole lot of room there.

I thought that if I ever wind up with dementia and start wandering off it would help to have an identifing mark of some sort.

I like mine, it's just a simple spider above my ankle. Maybe in hindsight I would have got something with a little more detail, not sure.

A tatoo place just opened up down the road from me...considering a second one for my mid-life crisis.

BAT

Hyke is right. Get a Bat tramp stamp.

It is true, cats do get ink when they are sterilised. Inside their ear, a circle with a line through it.

That's just sick.

I don't have a single tattoo on my body.

  Me neither.  If I did get one, I would choose a word or phrase with special meaning for me. 

[RageBeoulve]

Tattoos themselves were never cool. You can't be a total fag, then get a tattoo and unfag yourself. You were either cool before you got a tattoo, then were cool with a tattoo, or you were a faggot, and your tattoo is gay because you're a faggot.

In conclusion, no.

Same here.

It's not easy to do time in the military and NOT get one.

I was going to get a tattoo with U.S.M.C. in big letters and under that, have Marvin the Martian holding an M-60 with smoke coming out of the barrel.

Sounds fairly cool, but you'd have gotten tired of it. I garauntee it, George Zimmer would garauntee it. Garaunteed.

[Scrapheap]

probably so, that's why I'm glad I didn't get it.

Too obvious...I am batty enough. 

Wondering how much something like this would run on my lower back?


*thinks to herself...if you have to ask...probably too much.  *

The black widow is kind of creepy.

It would make me think that after I blow my load, that you will spin around and eat me as nourishment for your babies.

  That's right!  Sometimes you just have to take a chance on love!
