Tattoo Bashing

Never does the person actually mention the artistic quality or design of their...body art

Sorry, that's not true. Many artists having waiting lists of years, specifically because of the artistic quality of their work.

So why is it that when you ask someone why they got a tattoo do they not mention the design complementing features etc? Sure, they wait for specific artists to do the design they want or get a certain style but that is not the reason behind getting that tattoo eg. choosing the colour of a car rather than the actual type of car.

Well you have to remember that people get tattoos for many different reasons. There are people who get memorial tattoos or get a tattoo because they consider that they 'cool' or stylish', but there are also people who choose to cover their bodies in the art of artists they like because they like tattoos.

You should choose the most suitable artist for the style you are looking for as it varies so much. Not all tattoos are script, kanji, portraits. or tribal.

Look up the likes of Jeff Gogue, Jason Butcher, Lianne Moule, Matt Lapping, Wendy Pham, David Tevenal, and Carlos Torres.

They are a very small selection of artists, all with very different styles. They don't just tattoo; they sketch and paint, and sell prints of their work.

I would allow Jeff Gogue to tattoo almost anything of his choice, because his work is just amazing. Shame he has waiting list which would probably be impossible to get on.

You need a medal for saying the truth.




Oh, but I do and anyone with experience with dealing with people with multiple tattoos will judge, and rightly so.
Seeing that it falls into the category of self harm and body mutilation (it does - check the research), it says volumes about the person eg. inability to deal with emotional trauma, hates their body/choices they have made in their life etc.

This is why so many people never give a reason as to why they got a tattoo or as OP mentions, they use the excuse of "it's to help me remember some massive event". Well if it was so large, how could you forget it? Never does the person actually mention the artistic quality or design of their...body art

How can you not like tatoos in Chinese though!?

Seriously?? You are happy to lump every person with more than one tattoo in this category. I cannot help but think you are either trying to stir the pot or you are kidding.
Self harm and body mutilation really sounds more like the opinion of an arrogant sort of person who has to justify what they can't explain. I would call into question the validity of any research that would definitively correlate these two behaviours.

It may well be the case that a small percentage of people see this as a way to get others to cause them pain however the purpose of most is beyond the pain and onto showing off their new "ink".

^^^^^^^^. I should state this is simply my opinion.

Just like Jehovah's Witnesses don't want to influence anyone..

Pls don't feed trigger
