Tattoos as a fashion accessoir

[Anonymous No.14225341]

When will tattoos get out of fashion and stop being trendy?

I've never liked them, and never played into pretending to like them when someone shows me their new tattoo. It's almost a good thing tattoos are so popular. It requires a certain aesthetic taste and personality type (that i dislike) to get one which makes it easier for me to avoid that personality type.

There's this one essay "Ornament and Crime" by Adolf Loos that compares ornament (and tattoos, treating them as ornament for the body) with degeneracy. He sounds like he has a superiority complex but it's a good read nonetheless. Brings up some good points. In one part he suggests obsession with ornament is a sign of someone who undervalues utility, or how it forces the aesthetics of an object or structure into one time period, which makes it age poorly. When you start noticing stuff like this you'll realise he's 100% right. The dude basically foreshadows minimalism. It's a short essay (i think 2 pages) but if you dislike tattoos you'd probably find some inspiration in it.

Right, because fashion and ornament aren't related in any way at all.

Nah he’s right, scars that don’t actually deform the shape of the body are hot af on women

[Anonymous No.14227570]

The only reason I haven’t gotten tattoos is that you can’t take them off if they clash with your look, you’re dedicated to that aesthetic for all time.

Well there is still a point. Clothing in general exists also so we can protect ourselves from the environment, and also to interact with others. Ornament only serves for the latter.

[Anonymous No.14227868]

Tatoos can definitely help your aesthetics, but I think you have to go all out—sleeves, large non-tacky graphics, shit on your chest and neck. Neck tats are especially important, they help by framing your face from below. Of course this is horrible for your career prospects and probably your sex life too unless you have sex appeal to begin with.

That said I think a 3/4ths arm sleeve that you can see when you wear a tee is the best option for average guys looking to adopt the style

They are not """trendy""" people just get them because they like them and it has become less socially frowned upon so more people who want them are now able to get them. Boomers please leave this site. There are trends within tattoos such as tribals in the 90s and 2000s

Have tattoos on face, and big SS-Totenkopfverbände on the side of my head that is visible when I get a fade/cut my hair. I don't notice them any more at all, would not recommend desu unless super cool. I woke up with mine after a bottle of xans hahahaha fml

Sleeves are so fucking shitty, jesus

So, here's the thing: you're going to be commited to a certain aesthetic for the rest of your life. My friend has only old school-style tattoos, looks great on him, wouldn't do it never.

Myself, got 3, mostly with a contemporary style, it allows me some flexibility. This is one of them.

I post on here somewhat frequently looking for good water resistant fabrics since it rains 3/4ths of the year. Also having nice fabrics during the summer make it a lot more bearable.

If men don't tell women what they like then women seem to start thinking they should do to themselves what they find attractive in men.

Your problem is you think that participating in a trend means you're not a special boi anymore so everything you like must not be a trend and instead be an expression of how unique you are.

Think of the mental gymnastics you're putting on here. You're suggesting that all through history everyone besides spergs wanted to get tattoos but didn't.
A much more reasonable explanation is that people are social creatures and influence each other and sometimes a new* thing catches on and everyone wants to do it and that we call a trend.

*I am aware tattoos have been around for thousands of years.

How the fuck am I doing mental gymnastics if I'm saying something that literally requires less thought? You are doing mental gymnastics to try and create reasonings for why people do something like this that most likely you don't enjoy or get why someone would do. I'm saying it's not always that deep and people can just get 'em just because they like them. If someone is getting it only because of another's influence then it's pretty fuckin stupid considering it's permanent. And no that is not what I mean to say I believe you misunderstood or I may have not said it clearly. What I meant is that many people who may have wanted one before didn't get one or felt they couldn't due to outside judgement or fear of not being employable or such things. All of which have become less harsh now. There's a video set in Korea (a culture that has traditionally hated tattoos due to their association with gangs and media portrayal) where a daughter is getting a tattoo for the first time and her parents gave her permission and came with her. Her father said he'd always wanted one but was never able to due to the shit I said above and decided to get one too right after her. Times are changing. No I do not think participating in a trend means you are special nor did I ever imply that. There are a lot of shitty tattoos but I still think there are good ones as well.

You're making a lot of excuses as to why it's not a trend when it very clearly is so you tell me why your psychologically can't accept it.

Sleeves are the best option if you’re attractive enough and get something semi-tasteful.

What I’ve been considering is a 3/4ths sleeve with black figure Greek paintings from vases, ideally from the Iliad if I can find enough of them, bordered by a meander.

Also, idk why, but I find calf tatoos always look like shit no matter what. So different strokes for different folks, I guess.

all my upper half is tattoo'd from the top of my neck down
it wasn't a fashion decision and i forget it's there pretty often, but it does accentuate some things nicely. dont recommend it if you don't have any, i use it as a stress relief outlet now because it's releases dopamine for me.
