In the mid 90’s tattoos became super trendy and now have gained acceptance as something people do. My opinion is, especially when the tats are crawling up peoples’ necks and onto their faces that they truly look awful, like some sort of disease.

    Just like art, there are good and bad tattoos, and its subjective which ones each person prefers.

    Not really unpopular. While tattoos, even visible tattoos, have gotten more popular and accepted, I’m pretty sure that ‘neck/face tattoos are awful’ is still pretty well-represented. It doesn’t help that most face/neck tattoos are pretty bad examples of tattoos in general, but the kinds of people getting face/neck tattoos don’t seem to have the best taste anyways.

    People get tattoos for lots of reasons. Most don’t do it to be “unique” or trendy, but for a variety of personal reasons.

    It’s perfectly fine for you not to like the appearance. They don’t get them to look appealing to you in the first place.

    I agree that it does look messy when people are covered in them. Even if they are individually well done pieces of art, it’s like taking all the paintings in an art museum and placing them next to each other, or a wall of graffiti that’s been painted over without much regard to the existing and total appearance. However I get how some people might like that even if it’s not my preference.

      I’m pretty realistic about knowing that the masses like tattoos, even though I hate them.

      This is the forum for sharing those opinions, so here I am.

    I like the self expression they allow, but have never gotten a tattoo myself.

    The reason? Money.

    I cannot comprehend how so many young people afford their sleeve tattoos. (I know they’re usually done over time to spread out the cost but still.)

    Would I get a tattoo, no? Do I like them on others? Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

    I have never thought that they were particularly creative, if anything I always felt quite the opposite.

    That feeling was confirmed when I was invited to a tattoo expo with a friend, there were perhaps 70 exhibitors, and all of them had the exact same or highly derivative trendy designs, and I think two of the exhibitors had unique art. That really said a lot to me.

    The epitome of narcissism and the acme of vulgarity. Graffiti on the walls of the temple. You do you, but no thanks…
