Just the bad ones! :thumbsup

Tattoos in some ways have become a "fashion accessory" and yes I believe those will go out of style. Girls that ran out and got the lower back tattoo and the foot tattoo or stars on their hips ect because all their friends did are the ones that will regret it someday.

I have plenty of tattoos and all of them were well thought out and have alot of meaning for me. I got my first one at 17 and am now 35 and still have plans for more ink.

The one thing that constantly amazes me is to hear people that think of nothing of dropping a couple hundred on a night out or a new pair of boots bargain shop for tattoos and then cant figure out why the work ends up shitty looking.

She ain't no Angelina Jolie that's for sure...

reminds me of angelina "crappy tat" jolie

They are only in style for a certain types of people.

one can only hope that content girls stop destroying their bodies like that!

Tattoos will eventually go out of style if " in style " means that's what the cool people are doing so their followers are doing it as well.

All it will take is for a few people with the influential power of a Miley Cyrus or the Jonas Brothers to make not having a tattoo cool and a new trend will emerge, being tattoo free.

Of course people will continue to get tattoos but a time will come when it's not the " cool " thing to do.

Never because there will always be people with bad tastes

Absolutely. I'd love to own a tattoo removal shop. It will make a killing one day.

True but there are still alot of women that didn't get their tattoos on a whim or to be like their friends or some actresses. My best friend is a tattoo artist and she is always booked with a very loyal clientele. To some people tattoos are very personal and a part of their lives.

Just the entire post. Ever watch an NFL, MLB, NBA game? Tell me then that tats haven't become a fashion statement.

Seems every chick has a fucking dumb tat of some sort nowadays.

You see content posted on here and you think she's almost perfect, then you get a shot of the tramp stamp or something and it just looks fucking terrible...

100%... its not for everyone. But even myself, who loves tattoos, cannot stand seeing a really pretty girl with some ghetto ass mall made tramp stamp or sloppy script. If you are going to put something on your body for life spend a little extra time and money and do it right.

BTW...Haley... Love the script on your side...

I'm not into tattoes myself.

I don't get tattoos. I really don't. If I'm going to mark my body with ink for the rest of my fucking life, it had better be something I'm going to believe in and be proud of until the day I die. The only thing I'll be a part of until the day I die is the US Marines, and I don't have a Marine tattoo (although I have considered it).

My friend has a big tattoo on his arm. He got it when he was twenty and now he's forty-five. It looks ugly, like a big blob of color on his arm.

The best one is a tramp stamp. Why would any woman get a tattoo that says "I am a tramp".

Whay would you do a tattoo on their actual heart? That seems too extreme and painful....Is there a significance to it?

Why thank you Alex :winkwink:

well the second part of his post was stating that tatoos are much more common now than they were in older generations and that's how I understood it

That tattoo is literally the worst tattoo I've ever seen.

I am getting Erics name tattooed on my penis

I have one and I swore I'd never do that. It's a memorial tatoo though, which I think is way different. Like Rochard said, it's gotta be something that means the world to you and you'll be proud of the rest of your life or its a no go. I can do without butterflies, roses, that sort of thing and the tramp stamps absolutely suck! I thought they were cool about 5 years ago and that's the point. Tramp stamps are a fad most will regret later.

as with anything, there is a way to do things

The same society where older people, or in smaller towns think any guy with an earring is gay. But that's the beauty of America... freedom of speech and thought.

haha :1orglaugh

tattoo is really an art, so i guess as long as there are people who love art means it never the art thread would never fade.

that's a BAD tattoo

tats will go out soon. no doubt about it. i almost considered getting one, glad i never did, and i probably never will.

invest in tattoo removal people. in 10-20 years all these girls are gonna be RUSHING IN to get their hideous self-mutilation corrected...

Tats are personal, mostly each piece has a certain meaning. I like tats but don't like those standard tats from the book.

Precisely what I thought - it reminds me of a bad attempt at Jolie's "Quod me nutrit me destruit" text.

Though I am curious what those here think of as a "good" tattoo, and why a location would automatically mean it's a poor tattoo choice?

Some timeless tattoos will endure. Some tramp stamps will seem pretty funny on your grandma. Like anything, fads and trends cycle through. Anything permanent runs the risk of looking corny 20 years down the road.

But if you look at the history of it, from tradition and right of passage in tribal cultures, to Army and jailhouse tats, to bikers and rebels, to everyone and their mom, you'll see that people are more open to them. The shock value has worn off. There is little shock value left in anything these days this side of cakefarts and 2girls1cup. The danger, pain, chance of infection and general crudeness of early tattoos has been cleaned up, so now they aren't so much associated with the dangerous, tough rebel anymore. It's a new liberating buzz. And if you really, really don't like it, there are entire industries out there devoted to getting them removed. It's not cheap or easy, but what in life is.

But as the internet, cable tv, satellite radio, the adult industry, or most other industries around the world are showing, you'll see the whole thing get more granular. Tattoos won't go "out of style" as a whole. Some of them will. Some new methods will appear. New artists will change the style. New inks will change the look. There will be new technology that allows less permanent tattoos. Body painting, sunless tanning, and other methods will continue to blur the lines between what we picture as "classic". But it will keep breaking down into more specific niches. And each niche will have their own specific thoughts, directions, and reasons behind what they do.

I'm a timeless guy. I like beautiful women with the skin they came in. I've seen some tattoos age with their canvasses...and in most cases, I wish I hadn't. But thankfully, everyone gets to choose for themselves.

:thumbsup

a good tattoo will always be cool. good placement is key too. LOL

Yes, the tattoo you got at 18, might not be what you want at 30, and the tattoo you got at 30 you might not like at 45, our interests evolve during our lifetime.

Also tatts are mainstream now...a sure sign it is no longer cool. I got one tattoo, and luckily I was talked out of getting anymore. Once you get ink in your bloodstream it is very addictive.

There is a company in NY that has filed a patent, tattoos with removable ink. It was on the news 2 weeks ago.

yeah 10 years ago

But the drunk one night are small at least. A big ass koi fish is going to look like crap and is well pretty dumb when you think of it.

I do know what you mean and have always been very vocal about making sure a tattoo is a right choice for people when asked. I used to bartend and my tattoos were visible and poeple ALL THE TIME used to ask me for recommendations and advice on the subject. There was many times I have said to someone I think you should really think about your choice of material or placement. I dont think that they are for everyone. I dont think "but its cute and my so and so has one" is a good idea to permanently mark your body.
I also felt really good about referring them to my friend that tattoos and not just because she is my friend. But I do know in that shop that if they think that the tattoo and placement is a bad choice (as far as being able to stand the test of time and still look good in 10 years) they will inform the customer and if it means they lose the booking and the money they don't care.

Thats one bad tattoo :(
