Do you have a tattoo? Maybe you’re planning to get one in the future. What are your motives?
There are hundreds of reasons why do people get tattoos. But psychology also has several answers to this question. Learn about them by watching my new video.
I encourage all people to get tattoos, so I'll be increasingly unique, being free of them.
Tatoo's are cringe. Ppl get tattoos to be different and actually think they stand out lol... Sticking it to the "system" when in reality they have been brainwashed to accept the tattoo mainstream. They destroy their bodies with tattoos, everything against what is right. Most if not all, regret the tattoos anyway. Societies pressure & hanging with the wrong crowd encourages bad behavior to stand out and try and be unique. The difference is, they aren't unique, they are all the same. No tattoo's is the class, and the way to go. Those that get it, understand, those that don't, well, they are clearly still lost in the system that has them down
I'm not getting tattoos either
I'm not gonna lie I think not having tattoos will be seen as rebellious in the future lol
Ok
@@jenniferw4157 or… or… we get them because we like them. It ain’t that deep. You tried to write a whole dissertation on this and make it a “one size fits all” thing when it’s really not. It can literally be as simple as we like them, they make us feel good. If we regret them later, that’s our problem and not yours. Minding your own business would work well here. If you don’t get tattoos, that’s great. If people that want/have tattoos get one, that’s their choice and that’s also great. Being on a high horse because you’re tattooed or you’re never getting tattooed is on the exact same level of cringe to most of the population.
I don’t have any tattoos.. and never will , 🙅♀️I feel soo special 😂😂
You are ink free. You are in the majority. Congrats I guess?
@@JamesBond-lj6msIn case you haven't noticed, inkless skin isn't the majority anymore.
@@davecrupel2817 it actually is. Around 30% of people in the US have one. That leaves the other 70% without one
i'm glad you don't want tattoo. I think tattoos makes people look unattractive
When I was young I wanted a certain tattoo. When I was a teenager I wanted a different tattoo. In my twenties I had an urge to get more serious tattoos. As a man in my thirties I had friends who got tattoos about their wives and children and I considered that. I’m now in my fifties and I am so glad that I did not get any of these tattoos. I will die with no tattoos.
I’m 22 and I don’t want any tattoos either. I love my skin just the way it is. Mainly because I can’t decide what I want to be on my body for the rest of my life. My dad has one and I thought of getting one as a boy but not anymore. Plus they’re expensive and I’d rather spend my money on something else.
No one cares
I wear my tattoos on the inside bro
damn bro, bro bro bro
bro?
brooo....
That’s DEEP
I heard that line in the movie "What becomes of the broken hearted" .
Aye! I feel that.
I have and never will be afraid of sheep. I honestly feel more masculine not having tattoos
Haha that's quite funny to be honest if we look at this from a realistic standpoint peopel with tattoos are not sheep.....i would say peopel who follow the Bible are sheep😂😂but yea buddy you seem real masculine big bad tough guy
@@imaglacierboy9621 I'm being realistic, this is my assessment. Tattoos are a fashion. I don't know why your referencing the bible. I'm not religious. Being a man has nothing to do with being big, bad and tough. I think that's your interpretation of being a man? Thanks for the insults though 👍
@@jalapeno_biznizz all my tattoos have meaning so i don't regret any of them being physically strong makes you a real man
@@maxislate5741 Biological definition of a human male - human being who has a penis and testicles and can inseminate a human female egg to create offspring. Your referring to masculinity and I'm not going to argue with you about your cultural and philosophical ideas about what that is 👍
@@imaglacierboy9621 sorry but you are sheep.
I thought tattoos were played out 20 years ago. I’m amazed that people still think they’re cool.
Lmao what
Tattoos will never get played out. They’ve been around since the AD periods. Like many other types of technology, it only evolves over time
For attention
I'm amazed that people still think that people get it to be cool
Tattoos are fine but remember if your Not who you want to be or able to express that, your not gonna be more after a tattoo, strong personality don't need to talk about it
It's so hard to find a woman without ANY type of tattoo these days.
Tiphany Driehle ..Your smart.
@John Doe Don't see how that relates, her forefathers were most likely Vikings, those dudes had tattoos.
@marcum exe You either grew up without a loving mother or you're just weird.
ITS LACK OF SELF-ESTEEM AND GETTING A TATTOO MAKES THEM FEEL BETTER AND GET MORE ATTENTION.
@@eminahodzic4387 First off you don't need to yell, second off you're not a psychiatrist.
My ex had a wrist tattoo of piano keys and it looked like a barcode
Then she didn’t go with a dope artist :D
Bar chord🤡
barcode is a cool thing to tattoo ;-;
@@piotr_jurkiewicz a barcode? What are you, a carton of milk?
So they can express their individuality by looking like everyone else of course.
Lmfao exactly
Ok
But everyone doesn’t have tattoos .. 😂
@@kuskid1 And also every tattoo is different :P EGOOO
I once heard:
"So many people being tattooed, some day, not too far from now, people without tattoos will be the new cool".
I already feel awesome and special not having tattoos! But I enjoy seeing them in everyone else!
i hate tattoos, never getting one.
More people like you please
Nobody with tattoos cares
@@timothymiller2626 if you have any tattoos I feel sorry for you
@@HeedAndSucceed wow crazy I have 3 tats big ones wait I looked at your channel you seem to be very over weight you need to get on a diet and loose that weight you look gross
Honestly, as someone with no tattoos or desire to get any, I perceive people with tattoos as less "fluid". You are stuck with that aesthetic for the rest of your life (unless you go through the long, expensive process of laser removal.) I'd much rather keep my canvas blank and add paint, or henna, if I do want to "adorn" my skin. I also don't agree that it is truly being "non-conformist", as you are simply conforming to a made-up style of non-conformity
Being truely non-conformist is a how you think, feel, and act in society. It's your personality. It's your spirit. Not your body.
The people I run into with tattoos, the majority are single moms or single dads, are weirdo dog lovers, and they tend to be narcissists.
If you're not a dog lover, there's a higher chance of you being a narcissist. It's human nature to love dogs.
You're generalizing. Sometimes tattoos can hold meaning to someone. It may hold/symbolize something important to them . There's lots of ways of looking at it.
Pit bill victim group 🙏 May peace be upon him 🙏
It’s like an offshoot cult from PETA.
The apathy and fear leaves many needing to look tough or maybe that is the only way they can get tough in this prison of public school, drugging of our children by pharma companies etc.
Apathy about humanity explains the dog love and inability to love anything else.
If they can get their rebellion worked out, it can all mean something good. However, it’s not enough to just rebel, you need understanding. While I understand and empathize with the sentiment, tattoos are not necessary for rebellion against the luciferian tyranny and the trend mongers make it all the more confusing.
Not all people love dogs. Only dog owners say that people who don't like dogs are narcicissts.
I hate children, I don't like most dogs. I am a horse person.
You sound like the arrogant overly self assured narcissist
A small percent have tattoos because they actually have some real sentiment. The other 99 percent get them because it’s trendy and they think it looks cool. I’m glad I have none. Now I’m the odd ball and that makes me the coolest of them all.
Tattoo sheeple.
I have 0 tattoos as well but your logic is the same as the people with a bunch of tattoos you want to feel “cool and unique” so how are you judging them like your any different
My dad says : short men get their whole arms tattooed . Narcissistic men get tattooed all over their chest and back . He said this when I got a tiny tattoo on my ring finger interior : you are just a poser he said . He was right , I didn’t even like tattoos .
You have a wise father.
He made you feel that way smh you weak rat fuc. If you don’t like them why did you get it buddy
That’s one way of looking at it, but that doesn’t mean he’s correct Sounds like a narrow minded father jumping to conclusions, here’s me acting like his dad people who respond like this are typically guys with small self esteem also with a small penis like how stupid do I sound speaking for the rest of humanity….that’s your father bro I’d start living and making choices on your own have the guts and courage to acutely live your own life in your own footsteps, I have two full sleeves none of those descriptions comes close to defining who I am and I’m 6ft.
Your father has the IQ level equivalent to a rock
@@Tom_Ciccone my father sir or lady is a psychologist , so he is not as dumb as you claim .
Honestly I didn't get a tattoo to express myself I got it because I wanted to and it's my right
Austin Sturgeon Like a boss!
why did you wanted to ?
Curiosity,and I got tattoos I like and maybe someday I'll get more. You only live once.
Same
Tattoos are played out
It is a form of weakness if you need a tattoo in order to express yourself.
U do know tattoos hurt right lol
J V not a physical weakness but a personality weakness.
Because why do you need a tattoo to express yourself, shouldn’t you be able to express yourself through your personality, Confidence, self assurance instead of getting a tattoo to do that.
That's like saying everyone should wear the same clothing and should not look different. So many reasons why people get tattoos other than expressing lol
Exactly, people with lame personalities often need tattoos because they’re just not that interesting.
its just one way to express yourself or enhance your look, the same as changing your body in any other way like working out,getting liposuction, or any cosmetic procedure lol
I equate tattoos
to bumper stickers
You ever notice people don't tattoo their cars?
i remember when people got tattoos so they could be unique. Now i feel unique knowing im the only one in my friend group who doesnt have one.
most likely: unresolved internal conflicts....psychological issues...internal emptiness....low self-esteem...
Or they just like the art and how tattoos look 😅😂 I’ve wanted to be tattooed for almost 10 years and I don’t have psychological issues, severe loneliness or low self esteem 😂 idk how you all get through life judging people before even attempting to know them. If it’s not for you, it’s not for you but no need to spread false information
@@AriaIndythe fact you replied to a 2 y/o comment shows you have issues 😂 but the point is, tattoos are just a way of conforming to the pattern of the world. It’s a need to identify outwardly, instead of looking Inwardly for God. Peace be with you.
It’s really not too hard to understand. They are adornments. People have been adorning their bodies with artistic and creative things since the dawn of time, like jewelry. There permanency and how other people wouldn’t dare get a tattoo because of that makes it alluring to some. Otherwise it’s decoration.
Yeah, I don't know why people are so uptight about the notion of tattoo.
Exactlyyyyy
I don't have any but, it's in my culture (pre European) here in Aotearoa/New Zealand. It signifies rank, status, and tribal affiliations. It was banned (like many other practices) by the english and has had a massive resurgence over the past 20-30yrs which, is awesome to see, even better when non Maori get them too 😊
PRETTY BUT CAN KILL YOU. thats how Big Tatty does its dirty deed. they only focus on the pretty part.
They can be removed though not a tattoo it's on you skin rest of your life
A lot of tattoos look awesome imo, but often when I see people with outlandish tattoos it just makes me realize how HARD they’re trying to affect the way others “see” them.
I have 4 myself and am getting a chestpiece soon, I tend to agree most tattoos do look awesome, and yes there are some weird people who have outlandish designs that make no sense.
I can't understand why anyone would want to graffiti their own body.
It's a form of art and self expression.
Because everyone else is doing it
Oh yeah by all means get a tattoo I'm just trying to understand the fascination.
SlumpNMyRump because it looks cool
They get em cuz they think their bodies are ugly
Answer - 1) Increasing number of people with short range view of time 2) Decreasing social structure - you extended family isn't a strong part of your life.
Interesting, thanks for that.
i pretty much despise everyone from my family except my parents so maybe you right who knows.
I think in the history tattoo is for people who want to look strong and fierce so people will fear them, but in the modern world is look as like an art
I think the very beginning started for a way to Mark prisoners, prisoners embraced this and took back their control by tattooing themselves.
I frame and hang the art I like.
I think it is more to do with attracting attention. People who did not get enough attention when they were younger and feel they were neglected or didn't get enough attention as they wanted, decide to get tattoos. It's mainly about attention seeking I think. There are those who do see it as art etc, but the majority want attention.
It's not just about the attention - Ppl get tattoos to be different and actually think they stand out lol... Sticking it to the "system" when in reality they have been brainwashed to accept the tattoo mainstream. They destroy their bodies with tattoos, everything against what is right. Most if not all, regret the tattoos anyway. Societies pressure & hanging with the wrong crowd encourages bad behavior to stand out and try and be unique.

@@jenniferw4157 nice copy/paste job. Way to be unique posting the exact same comment on another reply! The system will never keep you down!
Some people also just love art and they love the art of tattooing.
i disagree. i got tattoos for self expression and to enhance my physique.
@@cartoonkid72enhance your physique ...
ever heard of exercise/working out?
Drunk or too young? I’ll buy that.
I love you too
@@jampon7640 no you dont 🤣😁
You want to express yourself? Get a t shirt with a message or a piece of art. Some of them can be made to order. At least when you tire of it or outgrow it, you can take it off. Self mutilation is a sign of mental instability and disturbance, no matter how you spin it.
I wear clothes to express myself.
Some look fine, few look great, most look mediocre, some others look awful, just like it is with any art form.
I truly don’t understand the hate against tattoos. I suppose it depends on the specific tattoos If you are judging someone’s ability to make good choices etc. but I am 24 now, and I told myself that I would wait until 25 to get tattoos. (I wanted tattoos and was extremely interested and intrigued by them since 15)
I see well done tattoos as amazing art that can enhance someone’s look. I’ve always loved how they look on men and on women. It makes me feel this person is more of a free spirit, more artistic, and I just feel so drawn to having them on me as well.
I’ve been saving artists and planning them for the last few years. I think you should consider style, color/black and grey, placement etc and choose things you either find beautiful or meaningful personally (not relating to partners etc that can be fleeting.)
I just think they look ugly on women. I don’t have any as well nor want any.
People are insecure and hate anything against the norm. We live in a very shallow world full of sheep that feel entitled to treat you poorly because the group masses have a unwritten law that they can treat you bad because you want to be yourself and express yourself how you want. The judgments and narrow mindedness is off the charts. I think they are just insecure and envious that they don't have the courage to do the same and are so unsure of doing something so long term permanent. People love to hate though all while they themselves will go out and buy all these expensive clothes and jewelery to show off to their fake friends it's a clown show
None of my tattoo's are for other people but are for myself. They all have been designed by me and each have a different meaning behind them and represent an aspect of my life. Whether it is my zebra tattoo which is the symbol used to represent my disability or the butterfly in memory of my deceased best friend. But still tattoo's should never be taken likely and is something you seriously need to think about before going ahead.
How do Zebras represent disability?
You say you got the tattoos for yourself, not others.- Ironically you're the only person who can't see them as they are!! (unless you got them done mirror image)...
It’s graffiti of your body. It is no question a trend. The great majority of people who have tattoos for over a decade have regrets. That is the reality. I’m so glad I never got a tattoo but then again I also don’t draw on my furniture
I won't regret anything you neanderthal Shrek look alike
You think you're superior? You toad
How people want to look unique with tattoos, if everyone is tattooed nowadays?
Everyone has a diferent tatto mine is a original custom so no one could have it
How will anyone stand out while wearing clothes if everyone wears clothes
@@maxislate5741 yea like any average joe would recognize, or even care about it.
@@joshochoa4641 nobody’s talking about clothing. Clothes are necessary to participate in the society. Tattoos are not. They can even get you segregated from some societies.
@@pedrosiqueira1898 are clothing necessary tho. You can say the same for tattoos in certain cultures.
I hate tatoos for no reason.
Just like most people
Because you're a shallow neanderthal
most men are motivated by increasing their intimidation level
I’m a guy with some tattoos but it was never for intimidation. I have a few with deep meaning like family loss or my love of something. Never a person’s name but some are just visually cool. Will i regret a few in the future? Probably. But I think they are an expression at certain points of life. Some of the nicest and most genuine people I’ve met have them. And a lot of us are prone to anxiety for some reason. As long as it doesn’t offend anyone like a Nazi symbol or something, who cares…
🐑
do people with tattoos have all sorts of magnets and other things pinned to their refrigerators ? just curious
no but they do love
bumper stickers
I will NEVER get a tattoo. I have two brothers and they are covered. I will never scar my body with an ugly tattoo and I’m a millennial.
Imagine in 30 yrs all those old ladies with tramp stamps lol, grandma what is that???🤣🤣
Tattoos are always a negative.
I have never seen a woman without tattoos and thought she would look better with a tattoo.
Seems like a requirement if you're between 18 -40 years old. Now you're just like everyone else
Ok
To go deeper. We are in a prison society!
No one's trying to be special stop acting like you know everyones intentions

@@imaglacierboy9621 have I not been clear?
Tats used to be earned as a rite of passage, or were used by military, and gangs. Now, for the most part they have no meaning. Pretty pathetic that they have to get them to try and make themselves more interesting.
I see having tattoos alot. It's hard to find someone that isn't. My opinion is they think they need one to fit in, be trendy or they possibly have low self esteem. Alot of people also regret getting something permanent like a tattoo. Here's one way to think about this. Since people hate labels so much and yet people still go to the effort to physically and permanently label themselves? Not to mention how expensive it is.
Here's an idea, instead of tattooing yourself how about you commission an artist or tattooist to create a piece of art you can put somewhere. If you get tired of it you can resell it possibly for a profit. Can't do that with a tattoo!
Custom design your own shirts.
I don't have tattoos, any of them. I do have an idea for a tattoo for myself (and that would be a really big tattoo for my left chest and arm), however, it is just a plain idea, I don't feel literally any need of having it. There are also three other things that definitely stop me from getting it and the experience that made me sure I don't want to have one.
-It feels scary to me, that I'll have something permanently on my skin, that I couldn't get rid of. It is some kind of a feeling that gives me very uncomfortable vibes. So uncomfortable that I'm sure there is no discussion about me getting a tattoo unless there would be some technology, that would allow to "turn it off" haha.
-This one is probably weird, I have never heard anything like that from anyone but - it makes me feel VERY uncomfortable, to think about that my tattoo would make me recognizable in certain way. I do value very much a possibility of being much more anonymous if I prefer to, by not having any tattoos that could draw unnecessary attention whole time. If I'd want to get more attention, I can regulate it better trough clothing or car I'm driving, but if I want to just calmly live my life, I am able to be a "grey man". Tattoo in a visible place makes it much more difficult, sometimes probably impossible.
-I haven't found so far any actual, science-proven benefits of having a tattoo, which makes them appear kind of pointless and worthless to me in term of owning one. It doesn't make sense to me to I have one from a purely rational and scientific point of view.
-Last but not least, I did have a dream about having a quite fresh, VERY WELL MADE tattoo on the inner side of my left forearm. It was seriously well made tattoo. I was looking at it and I started to have thoughts "Do I really need it? Did I actually want to have it...". More and more questions where appearing in my thoughts in that dream and the feeling of regret was rising faster and faster, till the point where I've woke up kind of scared and immediately looked at my forearm. The relief I had seeing it without that tattoo was so good, that I've understood clearly, it is not a thing for me.
I want to add, that I do respect tattoos and people with them, I am able to appreciate their aesthetics and quality if it is on a high level and the topic itself is very interesting. It takes tons of skill and experience to be top-level tattoo artist for sure, I also like certain types of tattoos on people and I'm not afraid to compliment them if I find it the right thing to do. It is just not a thing for me, but if someone likes it, up to them. I will be most likely either neutral or positive about it.
TLDR
I’m the cool one now (no tatts)
They look great when you are young.
every person looks great when you're young lol
They wouldn't be so bad if they stayed like they are when freshly inked, not turn into a blue smudge after 20-odd years....
Can it be a way to attract people’s attention , which you needed , but didn’t have in your childhood , family?
of course it can, but it's not that deep bro
🧂
@Victor Joseph You don't know women very well if you think we don't just randomly apply makeup because its fun and it looks nice. Some of the best makeup I've done on myself was just for sitting and home and enjoying.
I do Make Up because I think I look prettier. And that's it. Not to attract men, don't come over and talk to me! I wanna look good AND be left alone.
Short answer, insecurities! I don't think I'm ever going to get one but who knows.
I remember a line from the TV series MASH : "Why would you cover your skin with images that you wouldn't want to put on your walls".
No tattoos for me. I am checking out of this world, as I checked in.
But you checked in as a baby, and will check out (hopefully) as an elderly person.
I would advise anyone getting a tattoo to design one yourself. You don’t want something someone else may have now do you?
I have 4 tattoos currently and I'm going to get a chestpiece soon, I prefer my artist design it since I lack creativity. I mention a subject or something I'd like, he comes up with multiple sketches and keeps working until I find something I'm satisfied with. Often times drawing your own stuff has more meaning sure, but if you have a lack of drawing talent like me you're sure to end up with a blob of sorts.
@@vec1954 exactly, you don't wanna have to 'excuse' a tattoo you're not into with some meaning. If you're getting a tattoo you gotta really think it's cool, perhaps about everything lol
Like hepatitis?
@@vec1954 Yea, in that case you are correct. I just personally wouldn't want a tattoo that someone else has who got it "just because". As long as you are happy with the design and meaning behind your tattoo then I believe that's a plausible reason.
@@RealDeanWinchester No, though that is an option if you're sharing needles. What I was stating was that if you were to get a tattoo that someone else has then it kind of looses its meaning if you didn't design it yourself.
This was pathetic. Usually the underlying items is lack of confidence more than anything else. I know a lot of folks that were war veterans or very accomplished people with tattoos but you still see the lack of confidence in those individuals. You’d be surprised how unsure people are of themselves.
The people in these comments have serious issues to figure out 😭
They want to be different and end up looking like everyone else 😂
As a young person (20) covered in tattoos this is my perspective. I don’t get tattoos for anybody besides myself. My tattoos tell my story in my own personal way that only I know. For me tattoos serve as a reminder of what I’ve gone through and that I always need to do better
I’m 22 and I don’t have any tattoos. I don’t want any. My skin’s fine without them. The freckles on my arms are my tattoos.
I'm 42 and I don't have a single tattoo and never will.
I love my body and skin just the way it is. I don't need to scar myself to remind me of past occurrences.
@@mrmaxaxl same here Max. I’m kind of an artist myself and I draw occasionally. If I want to admire something I’d hang it on the wall and not draw on my skin. I got freckles on arms and a birthmark on my right arm, those are my tattoos because they’re natural.
@@mrmaxaxl I also feel more unique without one Max. I did think about getting one as a kid but not now. Do you have any freckles or birthmarks?
@@huntercoleman460 Same here! When I was 18 I wanted to get a tattoo on my arm with my then favorite album: Dr Feelgood, by Mötley Crue. I was young and naiive and asked the tattoo artist to make it tiny: a few cm tall and wide.
He laughed at me and said if I want the album cover with details it has to be covering my whole arm AND cost 1000 $.
That was way, way over my budget in those days plus I didn't wanna start with something so big.
Thankfully that was the end of my tattoo dreams.
Now with every single person covered in them I am extremely happy I stand out with my clean skin!
It’s a sign of very poor judgment…. Look at the people in jail
The comment section is VERY amusing👀🐸☕
@marcum exe Noted.🤣📒🖋
I dont understand the concept of “doing it for myself not others” any visual modification is for other people to see
True; the bearer of a tattoo is the only one who CAN'T see them properly...
But you need the Rolex and nice fancy suits and designer clothes to show off to the other vanilla normie who don't care at all about you hahah hypocrite
Too impress women, trend, low self esteem, and popular culture.
Priceless
Here is something that people who get tattoos should know. Many people you show your new tattoo to may not really like it. They may say stuff like cool, neat, awesome or something positive. They are just being nice. If you take note they don't have any tattoos. I say how cool or how beautiful it looks which is true.
I am honest. But most people lie. And people who get tattoos crave positive attention. They won't get it from me.
@@CordeliaWagner this comment is old af but hey, you are probably talking about 3% of the tattooed population and that’s being generous. But hey, keep up your generalizations! And remember, the difference between tattooed people and non tattooed people = tattooed people don’t care that you aren’t tattooed. Have a great day!
My daughter has tattoos and I dislike everyone of them. But I'd never tell her that.

to take ownership of your own body and to make it unique?
The doc that eats his own valiums haha
Yeah I still don't understand why people get tattoos. It's weird because it's like, people get tattoos to express a specific part of themselves, an interest, loved ones, etc. It's almost like advertising a part of your life so if a stranger comes up to you, they can ask about your tattoo and that's an easy in for you to talk about yourself and get them to know you and build a relationship together as friends. But on your body. People wear band shirts for this same reason, it's advertising and interest so a stranger on the street who also likes that band may cone up to you to talk about it and you strike a friendship. But you take off that t-shirt, you don't wear it all the time like tattoos. It's strange to me someone would get for example a Marvel Endgame tatoo. Like they put this "talking point" on their bodies, forever. Forever garnering questions and comments about it. It becomes a part of your life, permanently. A t-shirt advertising Marvel you take off, it doesn't become a part of your life. I could go on about other tattoos designs express an aesthetic or desired to be connected to certain qualities like "edgy" or "outdoorsy" etc but this comment is already too long.
@Someguy136 I agree. I will say, the one type of tattoo I really respect though now that I think of it, are memorial ones. It's a wonderful way to keep their memory alive by not only keeping them in your thoughts so you may talk about them more with others, it can be a talking point and way of bringing them up in a way to new people instead of a less-organic more difficult way. It might not be the most healthy way to cope but I do respect those with tattoos like that.
All my tattoos are on the inside.
Idiocy seems to be increasing around the world ps This comment does not refer to tats
Dr. Matt I have questions for you .
What are your impressions if you see a man with tattoos all over his body?
For some reason I have always thought that tattoos are addicting just like cigarettes and alcohol.
In a free country we should be able to confidently and courageously express ourselves with our natural forms of expression. I like and believe in so many things that my visible body couldn't possibly reflect them all. I've also been known to change my mind which is easier than editing my body art! To me it's a form of rebellion against conformity. I've known too many people that regret what they did to their bodies when they were young.
Not to be rude, but I kind of disagree. I feel people today just get tattoos to look cool or just because. Like it's a necessity. A lot of people I know have tattoos. Of course, it's none of my business, but thats how I feel. Even I wanted a tattoo at some point because I thought it would be cool if I got one
@J Cool Guy 15 newsflash. We all do things to look cool, to stand out, or attract certain people whether romantically or otherwise. Anyone who says otherwise are lying or living in a delusional state.
What the hell is wrong with the people in the comments?
Something that means something for you
Personally I still think tattoos are like a stain on the body that is pretty just the way it is from nature.
I think the whole thing has to be some kind of signaling mechanism that you are "in the know" or "of the street" or "down to earth". To me it definitely has some dark associations to "being tainted", "marked", "not pure" and also I think it signals a "loss of innocence". It also has connotations of being working class or of low culture. Also, just because a lawyer gets a tattoo doesn't mean he doesn't have an uncultured mentality or a working class background. In this case this would be a kind of nostalgic "remember where you come from" spiel. Because it's related to the working class, it's also usually more likely in left wing circles who want to signal that they are "working class".
Lot of royalty members gets and has gotten tattooed in the past. It has also been popular in high class in the late19th century.
That was a very long winded way of saying that you’re a classist individual with superficial values on an individual’s predisposition to art and their idea of how they should portray themselves. If you’re going to label lawyers, scientists, doctors, business executives etc and working class because they have tattoos then you may want to have stronger premise.
@@DTGMRunsThere's a difference between being classist, and acknowledging people belong to classes. The first thinks your class is all that you are, while the second merely realises that you belong to a class. I don't discriminate based on class, but I realize classes exist. Denying it would be foolish instead. But I do appreciate you assumption that I'm a bad person. I probably am :)
I'd say the superficial ones are people who put tattoos on themselves instead of acquiring the character they advertise. There's a difference between telling people who you are, and embodying what you are. The latter group has no need of tattoos. At the same time the tricky thing about tattoos that even after you have no need of them, you will still have them. Many people continue to get new tattoos as an update of their mentality. Maybe I just never found a good enough thing ot tattoo myself for my whole life. I represent myself anyways, felt no need to make additional ways of expression on my skin.
@@thornspitfire3977 „I’d say the superficial ones are people who put tattoos on themselves instead of acquiring the character they advertise”
Damn, can’t argue with that
I agree, but those connections are mostly outdated. It's another way of getting attention. "Hey, I'm cool"
I get tattoos for me and myself only. Permanent marks of a message, or a part of me and myself.
Of course I think they’re pretty, I’m also an artistic person. If I get a tattoo it is because it has a signification, a story, an emotion; it’s an expression of oneself.
What I do with my body is mine only and not anyone else’s business.
I don’t want big tattoos, I just want small ones, dainty and delicate ones because they represent myself.
I’m not a loud person
I don’t like the attention
I love nature and plants and flowers
So that’s what they are for me
But for some others it’s to express their inner, bigger self. They have a lot to express; they want to share it but not scream it. And it’s great too
Any tattoo that makes you feel happy and more like yourself is good and it’s not anyone else’s opinion.
If you want one, get it not because it’s a trend but because YOU want it.
Why get tattoos "for yourself" if you can only see them mirror image or upside down?
People who comment here hating tattoos.. sound just as arrogant and narcissistic as people who have tattoos.
You really are this desperate to be "different"? Well, guess what, your DNA is the most unique thing in the Universe, just you being you makes you totally unique.
EXACTLY!
Why you gotta get down like that and not look at other reasons. Smh closed minded poop rat is what you are. Not trynna be different just being me and seeing all theses haters is funny asf
I think tattoos are for people who crave attention for how they look instead of what they do.
You're generalizing. Sometimes tattoos can hold meaning to someone. It may hold symbolize something important to them, rather than some random picture from a book.
I'd rather spend money on traveling
I am not the same person I was a minute ago. I dont think tattoos is the best way for me to "express who I am".
At the same time, you can tattoo symbols of important events that happened to you in life .. things that make you who you are now. There's lots of ways of looking at it.
@@paulv7744 but tbh who gives a shit. Like putting ink on your skin for the sole reason of people seeing what you went thru literally screams "look at me i need attention". Theres literal kids dying in Africa and you go ink yourself up just for attention and trying to make yourself more interesting
if u want to be different then others dont get one, because then you are a rare breed
social, tribal, behaviour? wanting to fit in? social media creating more of a hive mind a collective universal consciousness, where fashions can become huge global behaviours? That's what it seems like to me. I'm not a fan of the the trend personally, but, as an artist I do like the fact that lots of great artists can get a fulfilling career from it.
It’s butchery akin to the body medications or castration of young children by sick “doctors.” Nothing more than part of the body modification cult sweeping the world. I’ve had to see 2 females through breast implant removal. Sick of all this shit
PPS: also in the video sound like you're saying ALL the reasons why people get tatoos are cause they're insecure but it also seems that you want purposely to disfigure that into not seeming so. "people get tatoos cause they want to express themself and to show they're unique"...oh you mean they want OTHERS (else they had got that drawing in a personal diary or shit like that) to think about them something they think others will never think about them unless they signal it to them with a tatoo? Or you mean they are insecure and obsessed by this "beig unique" thing ad they MUST demostrate that to others (if they only ad i mind what THEY thik about themself why get a tatoo everyone can see? that's simply dumb to think) by havig a drawing onto them? Do you see my point?
I agree and disagree
Remember when people worked on developing their character? Now they just put ink on their skin and think that makes them unique.
The majority age that people are getting them are in their 20s-30s, what they don’t realize is will you still like them at 60-70-80+ in addition when you get older your skin stretches, if you gain weight and lose weight, you don’t have the elasticity anymore like you once had when you were younger………most younger people don’t see the long term,,,,,,they are also expensive…….
My girlfriend has no tattoos! She is a surgeon.
I don't get them pun intended, that's all. I don't like them or dislike them, really.
