Iv'e been watching 'miami ink', and some of the tattoo stories are quite sad. There is nothing better than to show your love for someone that has passed than to have their portrait in ink on your body.
Each tattoo is generally chosen with care and a lot of thought, unless they were done at 12 years of age like someone I know. | |

Posted: 7/9/2007 11:08:55 AM | I've never gotten nasty with anyone who said anything bad about my tattoo either. I've had a few people tell me it looks trashy where I got it (on my brest) but it's there for a good reason and that's all there is to it. I chose to put it there because it's a paw print in memory of my old dog and it's over my heart where it should be. If anyone doesn't like it I just take their critisism with a grain of salt and carry on with my day. It's not because I'm an ex-con, drug or alcohol abuser, it's just something I did to always keep a part of my dog with me.
Some people like them and some don't. Everyone is entitled to their own oppinions. | |

Posted: 7/9/2007 1:18:46 PM | It can be the person who doesn't like tattoos using a nasty tone of voice to begin with. Nastiness begets nastiness.
I would not comment on someone's tattoos unless asked. They are a personal choice. I also don't feel that it's appropriate to give unsolicited comments about things like people's clothes, tatoos, or jewelry unless it is to give the person a compliment. | |

Posted: 7/9/2007 1:32:51 PM | Perhaps when they find out that you don't like tattoos, they see this as going nowhere, since very few people can or are willing to do something about fixing the 'issue'...
Maybe, maybe not...
I got a tattoo; I could care less if anyone likes it or dislikes it, though half way through it I was regretting the whole thing but only because if was painful, but I was too embarrassed to say so...
I have been on the other side of your question; most people are downright offensive the minute they know you have one...
I don't think either is right; you should be able to say that you don't like them and not get a nasty response from anyone, as much as anyone else should be able to get a tattoo and not have to be called a tramp because of it...
Though I could be wrong... | |

Posted: 7/10/2007 1:17:32 AM | Ive experienced this with a man who had tattoos and a load of facial piercings!
I explained that I personally did not like them but had no problems in being friends with this person as it was up to him what he did with his body - I got a load of abuse and told I was narrow-minded! - Im sorry but If I dont like something isnt that just an opinion? not narrow-mindedness?
at theend of the day if your gonna make yourself look like a walking pin cushion, you do it for no other reason than to get reaction and to look different. While some people may like them, you have to appreciate that some people will not.
Take the rough with the smooth thats the key. | |

Posted: 7/10/2007 4:03:21 PM | Because they can and so many people believe their opinion is more valid and carries more weight than another person's. Nonsense, but true.
I say whatever floats your boat. It may not be my choice, but who cares? You get to choose what you do to yourself. I happen to like tattoos and there are some I am looking forward to seeing in the future. | |

Posted: 3/7/2008 7:02:29 PM | Everybody is entitled to there own opinion right??? Well typically all of the guys i know at tattoo you and my friends say, if you dont like them you dont have to look at me but if you want to know the meaning of them then just ask. I say, they get nasty because they are afraid of having there ego hurt. They dont want to have to defend there reasoning of getting Inked up. Either way i respect both sides. I love both of my tats and they are hidden just so i know that no matter where i apply at for any job at any time they wont look down on me for them.

Posted: 3/7/2008 8:36:04 PM | Because some people just like to complain... simple as that....
I have two tats and the only problems I have had are with certain people in my family putting me down for it. I pretty much ignore them and entertain their comments with good jokes. Such as when they say "You're going to regret that when you're old and saggy and your tattoo doesn't look the same." I laugh and say "I'll be old and ugly anyways so what's it matter?"
Let the people who complain complain to themselves... be it the people with tats or the people who are against them.... no reason you have to sit around and give them the satisfaction of making you mad. If you want to teach someone something then be nice and teach them... but someone who comes off rude in the first place is unlikely a willing student and probably not worth your time.
As for the attractiveness thing... different people are attracted to different things... if someone doesn't like piercings (as I don't) or tats then that's not their fault that's just what they prefer. No one should get offended by something as silly as this because that just means that they are feeling ashamed by their own look that they have chosen for themself and only wish for other's to not only accept what they have done but to admire and love it... which isn't the way life works out... | |

I had my cat cremated and his cremains are in a cute little kitty tin on the shelf in the living room. 
Sometimes when my current cat is being mean, I'll grab the tin off the shelf and shake it and say "You're next!" 
I almost passed out getting my ears pierced in college. There is NO WAY I'd ever get a tat. I prefer to date men who do not have tats or piercings.
Sometimes I can't help staring at people with tats and piercings. But that's what you want, right?? Attention. So if you get funny looks and comments, you asked for it. | |

Posted: 3/7/2008 9:04:46 PM | Someone mentioned earlier that people who get tats display them proudly and show them off every chance they get. I think this is a generalization that isn't true. The people I have met like that were in highschool and had tats with very little meaning. Most of the people I meet now won't say anything about their tats until I point them out.
I personally don't go around displaying my tats. They are personal to me and that's it... they aren't meant for other people. So unless I'm naked or in a bikini... they're for my eyes only ;) | |

Posted: 6/18/2008 4:23:08 AM | I myself have 9 tattoos, and I must say...yes..alot of people with tattoos do get rather defensive and sometimes to the point of being rude. However, I myself barely ever get to the point of rude.
I do have a few issues with people who stereotype people with tattoos without truely knowing the story behind the ink. Sure there are people that have tattoos that give the rest of us bad names because they were pointless doodlings they got just because the could get a tattoo. (Trust me I know, been there, done that.)
But to be honest, if someone doesnt care for tattoos, that is fine with me, to each their own. No need for people without tattoos to get nasty towards those of us who do, and vice versa. | |

Posted: 6/18/2008 4:50:21 AM | Tattoos (more than one) are usually (but not ALWAYS) a sign that their "wearer" is impulsive and insecure.
That being the case,it's hardly surprising that an impulsive and insecure person would become offended when something they do (or have done) is questioned or criticized.
Ironically, if they simply ensured that their tattoos were either concealed or less graphic, the situations where they might be questioned or criticizedm would probably drop to a negligible level.
But I suppose that if they weren't interested in drawing attention to themselves, they wouldn't get the tattoos in the first. | |

Ima!!! Tsk Tsk!!!! I know for ME...my tatt's weren't about wanting to get attention. I have 10...but most of the time they stay covered. The only time when all of my tatt's show is when I am in a bathing suit. Now, I AM notorious for rolling up my shirt sleeves when it is hot...so the ones on my arms are visible. There is one that is a custom piece and I've only had compliments on it...people will ask what it means and once I explain it they usually throw off a comment similar to 'I wish I had a friend like that'.
BUT...I do know some females (in particular) that get them for attention. Like, Lesbo Leslie....she's an attention hog anyways....she went and got a tramp stamp. Then she started wearing those pants where you can see down her ass crack inorder to show her tattoo off. Yeah...she got attention, but not in a good way I imagine....one of the guys told her that now she really was playing the part of a whore. hehe.
Although this is a pretty old thread...OP, it's like walking up to someone and saying 'Why the hell are you wearing that outfit?'....ummmm...maybe cuz I want to! Like my momma always said...if ya ain't got nothin' nice to say, don't say anything at all!
