because im not a faggot/thread

Which is superior?

because i think theyre ugly 90% of the time and they will look like shit when you get old
>inb4 #YOLO

>>5946599
thats nice but holy fuck you would want to stay in shape the rest of your life
>>5946636
thats 2england4me and also edgy

>>5946645
I'm not OP, but this argument of "they will look like shit when you get old" is so flawed.
Everything about you is going to look like shit when you get old, if you are wrinkly and saggy enough to make the tattoo look shit, you aren't going to be going out and trying to get girls.

The reason I don't have any tattoos is because i spend all my money on clothes and I haven't thought up anything with a good meaning.

>>5946658
True. Also, I'll have more shit to worry about when I'm old than some drawings on my skin.

>>5946658
yes, this is a good counter-argument. the only thing i think people need to think about when they get older is fucking plugs/ear stretching. that shit is going to be annoying when you grow out of it and dont want fucked looking ears anymore.

also i hate when someone says "you shud get something that has meaning to you! not just something that looks good!"

fuck that. good art is good art. it can be appreciated now, in 5 years, in 10...

think back in your life to 10 years ago, think about yourself and what you were into. then think the same but 5 years ago. youre probably thinking "fuck i was a dumb little fuccboi". would you trust past-you to choose a meaningful tattoo? meaning changes for every person. what we might want to commemorate with a tattoo today, we might want to completely forget about tomorrow.

my tattoos are mostly aesthetic and always will be. thats the only reason people get them anyway, 99% of the time anyway. if anyone says different they are full of shit. of course there is some meaning attatched to a few of mine, but this is shit that im not goign to feel differently about in 10 years time when i have a different outlook on my life.

Tats or no tats?

>>5946681
i agree that aesthetic tattoo's without meaning are still cool, but I'm the kind of person that appreciates a deep meaning behind something. I'd still get a tattoo if it was just straight out amazing looking though.

I prefer monochrome tattoos like this, but I don't want to have it dissolve into a grey mess after a few years.

No, they look shit. Though piercings are much worse.

Tattoos are the sign of the lower social caste

>>5946761
>im so le classy XD

>>5946761
I'm willing to bet you are a member of the 'lower social caste".

I pity people who are afraid of changing their bodies, life must be boring as fuck.

>>5946782
Yeah. I hate that 'holier than thou' presence some have. Your body is not holy, you're not special, you're just one out of seven billion other people and guess what we're all gonna die some day.

>>5946788
>>5946782

sorry we arent edgy as fuck like you

>tfw dont do what i want when i want
#yolo

>>5946761
I have no problem with being trash

>>5946788
I also pity people who are afraid of what others will think. For fuck's sake, if you're a functioning human being, is productive, etc, why the fuck can't you dye your hair blue? Get a tattoo? Have 10 piercings?

Because it's childish, because it's considered taboo, because it's unnatural?

I love seeing old people with crazy clothes and hair, it's like they finally figured out they CAN do whatever they want to themselves.

>>5946792
Not a matter of being edgy, but you must be average as fuck. Though if you're on /fa/ you probably already aim toward making an impression, having a distinct image, right? It's just that, some people enjoy changing more than their clothes.

The problem I have with tats like these
>>5946712
and other tats is that people don't think about how to integrate later tats and then it looks like a few ugly badges that were plastered onto their bodies.

My next tattoo on my forearm.

I just have "Be Human" written in plain text across my forearm.
I don't really care for the most detailed ones.

Because they look retarded and you'll hate them. If you are a female and have tattoos hooooooly shit you have fucked up epically.

On the other hand my folks do tattoo removal so tattoos put me through college.

>people who aren't sailors getting sailor tattoos

>>5947133
>If you are a female and have tattoos hooooooly shit you have fucked up epically
I can't begin to describe how sexist that is. Go fuck yourself, you pig and you dog.

>>5947157
>>>/s4s/

>>5947161
?

>>5947157
He's 100% spot on though.

>>5947173

Yeah, I've never seen a female with tattoos and though it supplemented her appearance and made her more attractive.

You ultimately look trashy, and I personally view on a scale of indifference to miserable unattracctive - depending on the girl

This is coming from a guy with a large tat already and getting a chest piece in the near future

>>5947168
That's what the board was made for. If you want to call someone a sexist pigdog for something trivial, maybe interspersed with privilege inspections, that's the board you want to go on.
If, on the other hand, you want to talk about the aesthetics of tattoos and the differences they have in appeal between the two sexes, then you can talk about it here.

What I'm saying is; don't just go around calling people sexists because they observe something differently than you, disprove them.

>>5947157
>implying hes not right

these nautical/compass tattoos are the worst because some edgy fuck has a warped idea of what they mean

thinking of getting "ceci n'est pas un tatouage" somewhere on my body.
pretty cool or completely fucking retarded?

>>5947250
trying to get a clever tattoo just seems like a bad idea

>>5947217
I can never help but wonder if girls with nautical stars are lesbians or just stupid.

Going to start this next week.

>>5947250
that kind of misses the point, since while it's true that is not a pipe (it is an image of a pipe), your tattoo would definitely be a tattoo

unless missing the point is your point, in which case i think it's a stupid idea.

>>5947250
who cares man. do what you want.

but if you ask me, tattooing any phrase in french on your body when you're american is hipsterdouche tier

>>5946810
>>5947250
i think thats hysterical but i feel like when you have to explain it to so many ppl youll get sick of it and feel stupid

Was thinking of getting on Owl tattoo, for the soul reason of that I like Owls. Also I'm part Maori, but islander tattoos are cliche as fuck.
Oh and pic related

>>5946712
This is fucking sick, but I dunno if I'd get tattoos outside of the "t-shirt zone", i.e. forearms, neck etc. It can look bad when going for job interviews.

Well yes
But i don't like them much now
I was happy when made them but now i have no fucking idea what should i do next

>>5947445
Owl tatts were played out in 2012.

>>5947464
Is right a scar?

>>5947474
Nah just a tattoo
Also those tattoos helped me avoid army

>>5947488
>avoiding camaraderie
pfft

>>5947471

Well I live in Australia, so it probably hasn't happened here just yet.

ancient symbols with occult meaning make good tatts. the icons of antiquity hold alot of meaning and it's sort of a way to connect the past and the present. plus most are /fa/ as fuck

If I see it on the pseudo hipstars in Georgia chances are people have them in Australia thinking the same thing you're thinking.

#swag and david's star would be 10/10

A psychotic Jewish friend of mine carved a Swastika into his arm and went home drunk and smoking when he was 17. He got kicked out of his house and survived on the streets for two months by sucking dick. Legit. He shooed me out from under a bridge because he had an obese, 4'10", 40 year-old client coming who was going to pay him $20 for a blowjob. Eventually he got in a street fight and was given a life sentence for killing two guys and crippling another.

>>5947631
what's the moral of this

>>5947649

jews should've been exterminated

>>5947649
Don't be edgy or you'll spend two months turning tricks for smokes before spending the rest of your life in prison.

Is branding /fa/?

>>5947824
Fuck no.

>>5947824
Looks like shit

>>5947824
Keloids are never /fa/ unless you're some kind of African warrior coming into manhood

Why /fa/ hate graphic t-shirts but likes tattoos? Aren't they the same but permanent?

mr wannabe elitist pls go to bed

>>5946823
the point you are making is SO very right, I feel the same. I'm afraid of getting one tattoo, because I don't want those single "badges" but I'm afraid that I realize I don't like it, don't add others and be stuck with one single tat.

also, I disagree with you on this particular tatoo - the blackness on the bottom is actually perfect for incorporating another tattoo - think turning the blackness into some geometric pattern, slowly fading and making way for another motive.

>>5946681
>>5946681

Agreed. I have two full sleeves and all of it are pieces from my favorite artists. Each arm is dedicated to an artist and they go together quite well and each arm has a nice contrast. When people ask why I got them I say just that. Not everything has to have a story behind it.

>>5948659

:3

i saw this posted earlier and just really REALLY liked it immediately.
i just don't know where to put it, my right arm is my grey/black arm but its just a few pieces here and there and i don't want to just start throwing stuff down and end up making everything seem cluttered.

suggestions? my current ones for that arm are; wrist, right below the inside of my elbow, and one along the side of my bicep almost up to my shoulder.

>>5948749
>permanent graphic t-shirt
Oh god haha

rip gyro zeppeli

I don't have one because currently I'm a fucking fattie.
I want to turn my whole image around (Lose weight, Tattoos, Earring, change my hair), but I am mired in all sorts of mental fuckery.

Also, I don't know what I would get. I would want something beautiful and unique, and everything I think of gives me that "Back to the drawing board!" feeling, because I don't want to think "This makes me look like a blaring faglord."

Length, Width, Location, Style, Message, all of these things concern me. I went from wanting a dragon up my sleeve, around my neck... To wanting a meditative samurai... To wanting XYZ Message (It doesn't fucking matter which, they're all the same) in XYZ Language (It doesn't matter, nobody can read them anyway). Ugh. I fucking hate everything.

>Fibonacci sequence on your wrist

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAA OH FUCK LOL

>>5948970
Are you okay?

>>5948974
I'm sorry, I just had a really hearty laugh. My composure has returned.

gonna cop a tat of the word Tattoo in wingdings.
wear should i get it? how thin/small can i get it?

>>5948981
I think it's actually pretty cool. Although if I'd get it, I'd probably make it look a bit prettier and more sophisticated.

>>5948997
That's a cool idea

>>5949009
i know i just don't want it really big.

i want it to seem "mysterious"
i'm a guy so i don't really know cool spots to get a tat like that.

>>5949000
It's tremendously corny and looks like he's trying so damn hard to be meaningful. It honestly doesn't even look interesting and looks out of place in that wrist area. The Fibonacci sequence is really intriguing and some great art has been made using it, but that shit is so lame and made even lamer with that paper plane.

OURS IS THE FURY

I'm going to commission some drawings of cute anime girls from my favourite web artists and have them tattooed up my arm.

Will cute anime girls stop me from getting a job?

>>5949021
Personally I love most thigh tattoos on men and women

>>5949036
No, just a wife

>>5949036
I know a lady with Invader Zim sleeves up both arms... she can't get into the military because of it. She also got her nipple ring caught and ripped off on a shower door

>>5949023
the area/setting isn't well chosen, yeah. then again, I don't like single tattoos just randomly sticking around, generally. The idea, however, I find pretty cool, also I don't think it's trying hard to be meaningful. I don't think the Fibonacci sequence is intended to portray the intricacies of his personality or some shit like that. It's just a simple, nice looking symbol with an interesting background story.

>>5949044
But they'll be cute, not lewd.

>>5949039
interesting, but doesn't seem like a good place to me...

>>5947316
Shit nigga you got it all wrong
Do you even semiotics?

>>5946782
tell us about this photo

>>5949053
Doesn't matter, brother. You're still cutting a whole chunk of the prospective pool out of your life by branding yourself with the hallmarks of a culture that many folks just find kind of creepy.

A love of anime is something you share after you get to know someone a little better. You don't want it up and down your arms.

This is to say nothing of how different your tastes and past times will probably be a decade from now.

Tats.

Is it possible to hide a small basic tattoo composed of black lines and no fill on the forearm with makeup?

>tfw want to get a muted post horn on my chest
>tfw it'll invariably be viewed as a 'lolsoironic' hipster tat

I just really like the book ok ;_;

I do, but they're two tiny stick 'n pokes that aren't visible while clothed. I'd like to get more, but I'm not sure that anyone in Toronto does the style I like.

>>5949402
Yeah. You need something orange based to counter the blue/green tone of the tattoo, and then you can go over that with a concealer and powder. Pixiwoo on youtube do a good one. Alternatively you could just use something like dermablend.

My god, I just remembered that a year ago I yearned for a cutie mark tattoo. Jesus. It seems like a fucked up dream.

>>5949479
And there, in a nutshell, is the problem with tattoos.

>>5949492
Except that not everyone is an autistic brony

>>5949477
Cool, thanks. Makes me even more sure that I'll get the one I want

>>5949502
Is that what that's from?
eeewwww. I see.

No, not everyone is like that, but we do have tastes that change very drastically over the course of our lives. What seems like a good idea today fuels our cringing tomorrow. or ten years down the road.

T Dott Repre$ent

But for rellies man, this city has no good tattoo artists. Im really into traditional tattoos, and i have a few designs drawn up, but im gonna have to go to Montreal just to find a good artist

>>5949520
so what? if you like something so much at a point in time that you want it tattood on your body and end up outgrowing it then so be it, change is constant, it's there to remind you that you lived. you're either ok with that or you're not.

>>5951694
I guess that's where you and I differ. I like my body to be a blank slate.

>>5946712
That is fake though.

Would you? sleeve tattoos?

The only good tattoo I've ever seen was on my high school bio teacher. Cool gay dude had a double helix on his forearm.
