    Have you seen those cars that have every bumper sticker imaginable on them? Also covered with lots of hand-scrawled signs with every random religious/cultish phrase possible. That’s the vibe I get from these tattoos.

    Just like the vehicles, those body adornments tell me all I want to know about the occupant.

    I’d rather be in her than in that building.

    Having that obvious joke out of the way; fuck these dumb comparisons. Though I would not recommend anyone wallpapering themselves, if she is happy this way then stop bitching. Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean she doesn’t either. That is trump thinking

  • She makes much more sense when you undo the mirroring whichever dipshit created this did. The backwards texts in crazy fonts were breaking my brain.

    I appreciate the commitment in both cases. Whoever climbed out to do the graffiti at the top of the building had some guts.

    I keep looking over the picture of the woman, trying to compare it to whatever the other image is of, and I’m not sure what they’re talking about. I’ve gone over every inch of her body and I don’t know what any of this is about. I’m sorry, what’s going on?

            I’m not bothered by the amount of tattoos. I’m bothered by the nazi swastika front and center. I would be just as bothered if they were just wearing a nazi arm band or Trump hat.

              You’re pretty close to the point.

              The point is that it’s subjective, and given the right content or quantity, it looks bad to you.

                No, I think I’m on the point. I don’t care about other people’s appearances and I don’t care to subject other people to what I think self respect looks like. I’m bothered by what their morals are and how they’re going to make that my problem. Nazi tattoos mean that person wants to make life worse for other people. I’m not bothered by the dye, but by the ideas they represent. The woman in the picture doesn’t have any hate symbols that I recognize.

                  You find the tattoos distasteful for a reason of your own. I share such a reason, but it’s your own. Therefore you find the display graffiti-like: a blight on the visual landscape (in that interpretation of grafatti)

          I was applying the claim to something else

          What are you applying the claim to?

          Why the reference to illegal Nazi iconography in Frankfurt? The building posted looks to me to be in the contiguous US.

          You posted an image of a person’s mugshot who has a swastika on their forehead and I assumed you were conflating their tattoos to the person in the original image of this post.

              There’s no Portuguese in any of those tags. Three of the tags are east coast crews. If I were to have to put a location down I’d say North East Miami FL.

        I guess what I’m saying is do they still feel it was worth it. Seeing the canvas warp over time.

        I’m also wondering if there are parts of my body that would be better if I wanted to preserve the integrity of a tattoo like my back. I dk.

    I’ve never been a fan of tattoos. They look awful and, in the case of women distract from beauty, not add to it. That said, they can do whatever the hell they want. It’s not my body or problem and they ain’t hurting anyone.

      Yeah this was me when my coworkers were raving about how hot luigi is like “not my type but I can see why you might be into it.” There’s a lid for every pot and people need to stop hating on lids that clearly weren’t made for their pot to begin with. Especially since there’s some really weird pots out there so just mind your business and leave those freaky lids alone.

      You did the thing where you gave a very personal, subjective, opinion as if it was a pure fact. You probably meant “it distracts me from their beauty” but you wrote it as if it’s a universal truth that applies to everyone.

        Ehh I dunno… I don’t agree with him but we don’t have to preface our opinions with “this is just how I feel, but…”.

        If I say “this pizza is horrible”, it’s clear that it’s just something I think and not everyone has to share that opinion. The subjectivity of the statement kinda speaks for itself y’know?

      Maybe not all women actually want you to be looking at them thinking ‘Wow, beautiful, yum.’ So many women get so much shit from men every day all the time, often since they were still wearing school uniform. Like you say, it’s not your body and they ain’t hurting anyone. I just think it’s really easy to understand why some women want to take ownership of their skin when there’s so many arsehole men thinking they’ve got a right to stare and touch it.

              I don’t really want to spend a lot of time doing some critical analysis here but give it a think. Implies beauty is important for women and not men, and their beauty is contingent on his viewing. This is basic male gaze stuff.

              They didn’t just say tattoos are ugly. They went out of his way to focus on how they detract from a woman’s beauty. Not men’s beauty. The subtle “women should look beautiful for me” is what’s not good here.

              Their take could have been worse. They acknowledged that it’s harmless and not their body. That’s good.

                Offering benefit of the doubt, one might assume he referred to women’s beauty in particular because this meme is about a woman, or perhaps he isn’t gay/bi, and doesn’t think about men’s beauty. Or both. Or maybe something else. Misogyny is one of the possibilities, sure, but only one of the possibilities. I wouldn’t have phrased it that way, but I don’t think there’s enough there to take the route of condemnation, personally.

      depends on the tattoo, there’s some adorable ones out there, this one is what me and my sister are gonna get because I love frogs (username) and hers is gonna be a black cat because she has a black cat

      Random tattoos that are full black just for the hell of it aren’t that interesting, however, you do you boo.
