“Do you think my tattoo is cool?” No, I don’t. There are no cool tattoos. “Check out my sleeve!” Oh god ew.

Tattoos themselves are stupid. Doubly so if it’s some media IP. “I put Batman on my body!” “Look at this image of Goku on my calf!” I can’t think of many things I’d want to do less than that.

There are a few narrow exceptions. Chances are yours isn’t one of them.

If you personally like tattoos, fine. I’m not saying nobody should get tattoos because I don’t like them. I’m stating my opinion that tattoos are stupid, and I am stating it here because it is probably not a popular opinion.

    Kinda depends, where you get it and how much shading there is makes a big difference on how much it hurts. None of mine were all that painful but the shading wasn’t comfortable by any stretch of the imagination.

    That said, you never just get one tattoo. You get that first one, then think, well you can’t just have one that’s silly. Then suddenly you’re covered in ink and looking for room for more.

    Maybe, get that design in a sticker first, slap it on something everyone will see and see how long you enjoy being asked about it.

      I have just one tattoo. My wife thinks I’ll get another one eventually, and I thought that too. I might not though.
