“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.

    One day you will be the wrinkly old person at the beach. At that point I don’t think it matters at all, does it? I can’t imagine they are trying to look good to you. Lots of things only look good when you are young, doesn’t mean you ought not do as you like.

    I had a friend who said all she wanted was one day to be that wrinkled old lady smoking a cigarette at the beach, because those people looked so happy and did not give a fuck.

      Absolutely, its just - they didn’t seem like they had really planned for it.

            So what if my tats get wrinkly when I’m older? Won’t make me enjoy them any less when I see them in the mirror.

            “What will it look like when I’m old and grey” isn’t really a concern to be had when getting a tattoo.
