“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.
I made my living as a graphic designer for over twenty years. Drawing pretty pictures. Here’s my problem, I enjoy the process, but don’t care about the results after I’m done. I’m like this with everything I make. Once I call a thing “finished”, I never want to see it again, it’s immediately boring to me. It’s the doing that matters, not the having. I’m not a collector.
So, I don’t want tattoos. I’d hate it the minute it was finished.
Have you ever drawn for fun?
I can relate to this if you solely did client work but did you never do any personal projects? I really enjoy printing my own stuff.
@DarrinBrunner @EtnaAtsume Just focus on the process of getting tattoos done, it’s the doing it that matters.
