Poll: Do you find Tattoos to be cool?

[darkless]

Tatoos are ok to a point but then that start looking rediculous imagine haveing these tribal desighns and things in your 70's or 80's they will just look rediculous.

 

[Brokkr]

I like some of them, it kind of depends on the person and the tatoo. I will never get one though and I'm not a big fan of them on girls.

 

[AuntyEthel]

They generally are, but only if done well. Looks really hot on girls, I find, though loads of people disagree with me. Some are awful from the start, no matter how well they're done, such as:

Tribal bands
Japanese symbols, especially on Westerners
Band names
Movie characters that aren't horror characters
Celebrities

I wanted a tattoo for about 6 years before I finally got one. I wanted to make sure that it meant something to me and wasn't just some generic tattoo. I'm glad I did, because I absolutely love mine. I want another.

I think an ancestral tattoo would be neat. Im planning on getting a 4 leaf clover, considering my irish background.

 

[iseko]

Cool? No... But a girl with right tatoo on the right place... (like the lower back). It can be very sexy.

 

[darthzew]

Depends. If it's all over the body and extreme, then no. But a tattoo or two is cool.

I think they are cool, I wanted one for myself, either on the chest ( left or right side not the whole chest), arm or upper back and shoulders. Haven't got one yet because I feel that if I'm going to engrave something on my body it needs to have meaning not just style.

 

[Sycker]

Yes, when you're 20.

Not so much when you're 65.

 

[Iampringles]

Some tatoos, I find very cool. :]

However, not in excess.

 

[ThaBenMan]

I hate it when people say "Oh the tattoo will look horrible when you're old". Well, yeah, if you just let your body go to hell. But if you take care of yourself it'll look better. And I've never met one, but an old person with a bunch of tattoos would be awesome! It would probably mean they've led an interesting life and have some cool stories to tell.

 

[Sedina]

I think tatoos are great, just as long as you don't overdo it like scofield from prison break.

 

[Xelliz]

I love tattoos and I love seeing what other people have. Thus, yes to me tatts are cool. However...having a tattoo (much like a $100k car) doesn't make you cool.

 

[YouGetWhatsGiven]

I really do not like Tattoos. Don't see the point of getting one. It costs a lot of money and you can basically never get it off, unless you get it burnt off which hurts like the dickens and cost a bunch.

 

[Arcyde]

ya there cool... to an extent

 

[falcontwin]

Yes Tattoo's are awesome if you get them for a good reason.

Also this thread is missing the poll that was advertised in the title.

I rarely appreciate anyone elses tattoos but my own as, I designed mine, so can I understand if only I appreciate them. I think some others are cool as a concept, and if they were temporary, I'd definately have them... But they arent, so I specifically find something I like, and maybe even means something to me (I dont really have to care about real meaning)...
To agree with the herd, yes tribal tattoos and names look pretty shit mostly... I was having my 2nd one done (which took just under 4 hours) and a guy got his daughters name on his arm. Granted, that IS a better option than a gf, or wife as shes not exactly about to leave you, but still doesnt look that good.
I'm also pretty tempted to get a few really small ones across my body. And when I say small, I mean a few cm by a few cm... maybe just the amusing one of "l0lz ^_^"... Trust me... It looks much better in the photo of someone elses Plus its literally as big as its written here... So easily hidden...

 

[Labyrinth]

I like them if they're chosen and executed well. Otherwise they just irritate me either at the artist or the victim.

As for myself, I want several, and I wish to be a tattooist.

By the way, does getting a meaningless but humorous tattoo make you a tosser? A monkey face on my belly, with the bellybutton as the mouth would be pretty sweet. I'd probably never do it, but still.[/quote]

I Love my Ink, each one is severely personal, but a humorous one doesn't make you a tosser right off the bat. My mate Doorag has a tat on his arm in Japanese. It translates to "something cool" in English. Cracks me up everytime someone asks. "What's that mean?" "Something cool." "Yeah, but what?" "Something cool." "Yeah but what?" etc...etc...etc...

 

[Beetlejooce]

i love those Celtic style tattoos. They look so cool, I'm going to get a Celtic cross thing on my shoulder when i'm older.

Celtic style FTW!!
