It may appear I'm the new guy, but I've lurked on here for years. Seems like any thread comes up and its a tattoo, its frowned upon. It applies more toward the ladies most of the time. Both me and wife has quite a few, not trashy or anything disrespectful. She actually has a sleeve that's got lots of hours in it. No neck, face, nothing like that. I do have some on my hands. Both of us have good careers and never had any of our bosses frown at us or ask us about it.

Just curious I guess why the hate?

They’re trashy because they are trendy. And the trend will pass and you’ll be left with this giant evidence of how trashy you are.

Your grammar and syntax reveals your trashiness as well.

Getting a tattoo or face piercing is something a teenager does.

Tattooing of the flesh has long been regarded as something “out of the norm” until recently (probably the last 20 years). Usually reserved for MEN in gangs or prisoners or in the military. Men on the fringes of society. Rebels, if you will.

FEMALES tattooing themselves is a very recent phenomenon (if you were born in the 70s or the 80s- do you think your grandmother has tattoos?) and it’s an outward sign of mental/emotional instability. Females tend to do something to their appearance after experiencing trauma. Ever seen a chick lop all of her hair off Or dye it a different color after a breakup? It’s the same thing with tattoos. Typically, emotionally/mentally healthy women choose NOT to mar their bodies permanently with ink or piercings. I’m sure there are exceptions to the rule, but ALL of the women that I’ve encountered over my 47 plus years in life that had tattoos/piercings were very emotionally/mentally unstable (which is probably the same experience for the other men of the OT here).
It’s like a primal instinct in the wild when an animal sees another animal that has certain types of markings, it serves as a warning to others and they know to avoid it.
Same thing with humans. Typically, The more tatted up she is, the crazier she is.
Yeah that’s good in the sack but no one wants to marry a woman like that or bring her around his employer at the company Christmas party.

Tattoos now have become so prevalent that even the geek in accounting has a tat.
Hence, NOT having tattoos in 2024 makes you a rare person in Western society.

I try to never talk to anyone with a tattoo. I have no interest in associating with those people.

That sleeve on your wife is going to look terrible years later.

It’s just a personal preference to see a woman’s skin and not cartoons or skulls or poems tattooed across it.

Love em on women. Shows lack of good judgment. Easy targets.

Because they make people look worse. The more tattoos someone has, the worse they look vs before they had tattoos.

If you enjoy your ink, then enjoy it. I've got ink that I had done for very personal reasons. The OT is full of judgmental try-hards. Just live your life & be happy.

Tattoos on the OT are like many other topics… clothing, etc. Posters here have low self-esteems so they take every opportunity to bash others because subconsciously it makes them feel better about themselves.

All my tattoos I got for myself. Personal reasons. Also they are all in a place that can be hidden. If I have pants on and a normal short sleeve shirt you can't see them. I did that because they are for me. Now I did go to a company cook out at a co-workers house and they had a pool. Lol did get a couple questions about my calf tattoos when I showed up, then when I took my shirt off some eyes got big lol.

because it's distractingly disgusting body mutilation that is offensively unattractive.

In layman's terms: "ewwwwww!"

It’s not frowned upon. It’s basically just a public indicator that you make bad decisions.

You just said it - even someone with multiple tats knows there is a line to be drawn (intended), and that they can become trashy.

I don’t hate on tats, and I don’t hate on fats. But both appearances provide information about decision making and impulse control. I think the people that pull off tats are the ones that are actually aware of this.

I just find them ugly. And if you see ones people got when they were young, those are faded now.
