| How come Tattoo people get nasty when others say they do not like tattoos?
Posted: 6/18/2008 12:37:57 PM | I don't have any tattoo's myself but do defend those who have them against people who start attacking them pour misinformation out of the arse like there's no tomorrow. Most people I have encountered have no problem with them, it's the people who have no idea what they're talking about (screaming that there's no difference between going to a parlour and injecting ink into your skin with a syringe you found in the local toilet block, etc) that only seem to be a problem.
It's hard to ignore that kind of complete idiocy sometimes  | |

Posted: 6/18/2008 1:33:57 PM | | If the person who gets a tattoo did so for some meaning, or something they did to be proud of, it would be a different story. But I see people getting them for no reason other than to "fit in". Personally I find them gross, and repulsive, expecially the lower back tattoos on women. Someday they will be with their grandchildren, and one will say. Grandma! What's that big black painted thing on your back? Oh child I did that when I was young and stupid. Thank God that cliff jumping fad wore out, or I'd not be here. | |

Posted: 6/18/2008 4:10:52 PM | To the answer to your question. I hope that u listen.
Its not that u have an opinion. Its the tone in witch you present your opinion. People from the beginning of time have wanted to judge others for their difference of opinion. If it doesn't hurt you and makes them happy without causing you harm then, let them be. Your personal opinion is yours and unique to you. You deserve it and can live by it fruitfully. None the less condemning someone for their choices is uncalled for.
I appreciate and understand your question, I deal with diplomacy daily. I work for Children with major physical and mental disabilities. I get punched in the face, spit on, have to clean up fecal matter. I turn my cheek and reassure them that i will not treat them differently because their medication is imbalanced. I do all these things thankfully because the shoe could be on the other foot. I would hope that the goodness inside ppl goes beyond petty differences.

Posted: 6/18/2008 4:30:34 PM | I've got one rather large tattoo on my leg. If I had it to do over again, I probably wouldn't have it at all. I have no problem with tattoos and to be honest, I don't know anybody who does. Like anything though, excess is generally considered unattractive no matter what form it takes. To point this out tends to put others on the defensive...and how can they be blamed in a way ? That thing isn't going to wash off after all. I can't say I have any problem with tattoos but an excess of them says more about a person than what they believe they're trying to convey. If you get "f*ck you !" printed onto your fingers to be read by the person receiving the blow to the nose, you're probably going to miss out on that job opportunity at the New Yorker. This suggests a lack of forethought on your part , a lack of respect for moral decency or both. It also suggests that you aren't the type to place much emphasis on what's commonly believed to be ambition.
Sure it's judgemental. And so it should be. Nobody kept that part a secret from anybody before they went and covered themselves in permanent adornment. I personally would hardly be put off by anybody who had a few small tattoos strategically placed on their body. My judgementalism kicks in when they've got sleaves and their teeth are filed down to points. Doesn't mean I think less of them as a human being either but it does lead me to conclude certain things about a person and it's not necessarily good. | |

Because, a majority of people will get annoyed, or even nasty when they feel they are being put down about something. If I go off on how I hate redheads, and think that color is ugly (I don't, I am just giving an example) then I will have a bunch of redheads ticked off at me.
I know, they didn't pick their hair color. While people with tattoos choose that.
The same thing will happen if you put down Ford truck owners. Or McDonalds workers. Or people who buy $300 purses.
People do not like to be put down.
If you say "I just don't like tattoos" I doubt most people will say anything.
They get angry when you say things like "I HATE tattoos, they are repulsive. They only belong on criminals. I cringe when I see a tattoo. Mutilation, I say. Low class rednecks."
Then you have gone beyond just stating your opinion. You are now being insulting. | |

Posted: 6/20/2008 6:26:30 PM | On Memorial Day, Welder and I were heading up to the lake to do some skiing and we stopped at the gas station at the end of our road to get some drinks. I had on a tank top and a pair of shorts over my bathing suit. All of my tattoo's at that point were visible and I guess the lady working had never seen any of them. She pops off with 'Chicky (that's what she calls everyone), you must either be a first rate criminal or have biker parents'. WHAT?!?!?!
Seeing as how I do have a felony conviction, I said 'Yep, I was part of the Manson clan!'
That shut her up.

Posted: 6/20/2008 6:50:52 PM | Well tattoos are very personal. There is a story behind every tattoo. They are expressions of art with deap meaning. My first tattoo is a memorial to my dead brother. I've been told to my face it looks cheesy. Its my brothers nickname with R.I.P along with the day he died on my left forearm in old caligriphy. I put it on my left arm because my brother was left handed and i put in on my forearm so people would see it and know he will always be with me. Can you understand now why I was offended when I was told it was cheesy.
They are personal, so when you make a blanket statement some may view it as an insult to thier art. | |

Posted: 6/20/2008 7:34:55 PM | I'm fat AND I have tattoos.
A) I don't care if someone isn't attracted to me because I'm fat. I get irritated when other fat girls throw tantrums. For f*ck sake - so what? Someone isn't attracted to you - my god! Surely you have people you aren't attracted to. I'm not attracted to red heads, but do you see a line of red headed men bashing me for that? No. It's called being MATURE and accepting that your body type ISN'T what the majority of men find attractive. Pull up your big girl panties and MOVE ON!
B) I don't care if people don't like tattoos. They are NOT for everyone. Who gives a rats' ass if someone doesn't like tattoos. Does it affect YOU personally if someone on the forums say they find them unattractive? No, it doesn't. So grow the hell up and get over it. Unless they're attacking YOU specifically - you've no reason to throw a childish tantrum over it. I have paw prints on my chest, above my boobs (not like 'Kim') and I'm looking at getting another one on my neck. Yea, I've had guys say they aren't attracted to girls with ink. No big deal. They are OBVIOUSLY not for me. Just like guys who say they aren't attracted to fat girls aren't for me either. No skin off my teeth.
Concern yourself with people who MATTER in life - not what people you may never ever meet think of you, and you'll be a HELL of a lot happier. | |

Posted: 6/20/2008 7:43:14 PM | I figure people should not say they don't like something until they've tried it. I have a tattoo and it's signifies something very important and dear to me. It holds strength and meaning for myself. Tats are beautiful and they signifiy a person's individuality and identity. I'm all for them!  | |

I've never gotten nasty with anyone who said they don't like tattoos. It's their right not to like them as much as it is my right to like them.
Alternative Question:
Why do people without tattoos so often make a point to voice their disapproval of tattoos toward people who have them? | |

While there's no excuse for rude behavior, it's painfully obvious that people w/ graphic or numerous tattoos are doing that to gain the attention of others.
Unfortunately, attention-gaining has positive AND negative components.
Given that people excessively comment on attributes that are perceived as being positive (appearance,intelligence,etc) why are tattooed people shocked and "angry" that their bids for attention may gain excessive (and undesired) negative comments?
As I posited earlier,people that get very graphic tattoos or more than one visible tattoo, are almost always very impulsive and somewhat insecure.
Therefore,it's rarely surprising that impulsive and insecure people become angry and frustrated when their personal choices are questioned.
And tattoos are ALWAYS just a choice. | |

Posted: 6/24/2008 9:25:13 PM | Calling someone impulsive and insecure for having a Tattoo might be one way to make few people reply in a nasty manner.
Why do overweight people,short people,get defensive when someone says they prefer thin,or tall,ect? Everyone has a preference and doesnt make anyone less because someone doesnt find them appealing.What amuses me is the way people react to others preferences.
why so many people jump on someone for saying they like something or dislike something. Trying to seem superior just because you dont agree with the persons preference.
I smoke and have a tattoo. And that makes me insecure?? That just makes me who I am.
Tattoos are a choice,and its something on guys I like.
To each his own!!! | |

Posted: 6/24/2008 11:41:41 PM | | honestly, and this is just my opinion of the situation, I think that those with tattoos don't like the thought of being striking out before even coming up to bat. Essentially, in their situation, they probably feel it's not fair that somebody would refuse to give them a chance simply based on the fact that they stamped something meaningful on their body... not even giving them a chance to express their personality. | |

I disagree with the above statement. I'm sure that some people do this to gain attention. But not everyone falls within this category.
As for me, I got every tattoo I have because I wanted them and I thought they meant something to me (at least at the time). Every one of them is significant in their own way. Do I want to walk around telling everyone that I meet the meaning of my tattoos? Absolutely not. But if you are interested in them, and want to ask, then I will tell you.
Tattoos are no different from clothes in that they are an outward presentation of our own self, and while some people wear their clothes to impress the masses, others wear them only for self satisfaction and do not require the approval of others.
So, no I don't believe that everyone, even people with numerous tattoos, have them to gain the attention of others. | |

ROFLMAO! I can't wait to read the supporting data for that statement, but I guess I'll have to... since there isn't any.

I've never received negative attention/comments regarding my tats, only complimentary. I'm not shocked or angry about the beliefs and opinions of non-tattooed persons on the subject of why it is not for them. It's voicing their ignorant assumptions about others that chap my a**. | |

Posted: 6/26/2008 9:39:47 PM | There are really two classes of people that don't like tattoos and how they express themselves.
1) There not my thing. I personally don't care for them.
2) People that have tattoos are all low class criminals or white trash.
I have no problem with the first group we all have opinions, its human nature. But the second are rude and very judgemental. | |
