What if you get it from someone of that culture? (Getting it the traditional way). If they are ok with inking an "outsider", why are other outsiders judging the outsider? (I had an ex who had a tattoo done that way I think). I don't like the idea of him getting hate for it. (Even if it is an ex).

'Well yeah, but what does it say?'

'Darren.'

'Why have you got your own name tattooed on you?'

'I wanted a tattoo for years, so my wife bought me one for my 40th.'

"Seems A Tad Done To Death": 30 Tattoo Designs That Scream “I Have No Creativity,” According To People Online I’m a tattoo artist, For me it’s three types of people.
1. The ones who are getting them only because it’s a current trend. They always come back wanting it covered or wanting it lasered off.
2. The ones who bring me something directly off Pinterest. And have 0 interest in letting me design it my way. I actually tell these people I’m not interested and direct them to another artist. That only happens every once in a while now.
3. Patriotic tattoos. Cornbread dudes walk in the shop wanting a battle flag and a 3% logo. I either try to talk them out of it or tell them I’m not doing it. Regardless of how much money it’d make me.
There is many more I could go on about but those 3 stick out the most. Everyone has opinions these are just mine

Never got the reasoning behind having something written on me in a language I cannot read or write or speak or understand, and that isn't even extinct yet - that may be a different case, because nobody will read "pervertere peregrino" in the language they actually speak, but then again ... why even use a language, a thing meant to transmit thought, that I am not able to use, but could learn, and somehow decided not to? Why? What's the reason that this is better than just using english, german, french, ...?

"Seems A Tad Done To Death": 30 Tattoo Designs That Scream “I Have No Creativity,” According To People Online I have a colleague who has a whole collection of what I call “Starbucks tattoos”, as in they cost pretty much like a Frappuccino and take as long to ink as a barista to make your order.

The ones that are visible are:
-paper airplane with swirly dotted “travel lines”

-minimalist sun (circle and lines going outwards)

-minimalist wave (just a single line making a sort of wave shape.

-song verse (for the life of me I can’t recall what song) in a generic calligraphy alphabet.

-infinite sign with word in it (a name, in almost illegible script)

I think that these are more or less the standard catalogue of the “I’m not like other girls” type of tattoos.

I'm dying laughing here because apparently almost all of my tattoos scream no creativity. Whatever, I like them, and they have meaning to me. The only one I have ever slightly regretted is the butterfly tramp stamp because of the placement and quality, but even that one has meaning to me: 1) my sister who had recently passed loved butterflies and 2) I got it in downtown Hollywood on a whim, with a friend and while on vacation. It was stupid, impulsive, and it looks terrible, but it's a great memory. I plan to incorporate it into a new tattoo someday, I just haven't decided what I want yet.

(My friend's choice was a kanji character, btw. But at least she knows it's the right one.)

Hi there! I am a Visual Editor at Bored Panda. My job is to ensure that all the articles are aesthetically pleasing. I get to work with a variety of topics ranging from all the relationship drama to lots and lots of memes and, my personal favorites, funny cute cats. When I am not perfecting the images, you can find me reading with a cup of matcha latte and a cat in my lap, taking photos (of my cat), getting lost in the forest, or simply cuddling with my cat... Did I mention that I love cats?

I get really insulted when people blow off my semicolon tattoo as "random chubby yt chick following a trend." It happens uncomfortably often, even though everyone knows what the damn thing means and ought to have the tact to not mock it. It means I'm proud of surviving hell and making the choice to keep going even when everything in me begged to let it end. I got into it not too long ago with someone about how I just wanted to be on the "trauma bandwagon" so I could have something "special" about me so I could be more than a basic chubby yt chick. They shut up once I started describing details. TL;DR don't mock mental health tattoos. Glad they aren't on the list.

I like that it exists because I'm connecting with other people like me (my comment about semicolon). But I heartily agree with you regarding judging someone else's tattoo. The only time I think "oh that's a horrid person" if I see a tattoo is if it's a hate symbol.

Why does your tattoo need to show your creativity? If someone wants a very standard tattoo, because that's the thing that happens to make them happy, they should get that! Why do you need to change from choosing the tattoo you love, to choosing something that makes you look unique? Why on earth is that more important than what makes you happy?

11points

CatLady 1 year ago

I really, really love this comment, @Jaya. I mean, I'm glad the article gave me a chance to connect with people similar to me, but now that I think about it, the whole thing harkens back to the 1980s and1990s fashion magazines where you HAD to follow the trends but not overdo it or look like you were trying too hard, etc. Those magazines messed up so many heads....

I don't think there is such thing as a bad tattoo - people should do as they want! I have never asked why someone got a tattoo, but I have often praised those I think is very good. For those who have racist tattoo it's even more amacing, because now I know I don't want to be your friend!

I was once sitting for a tattoo and a guy walked in for his appointment with the other artist. He was covered in random tattoos. He was in shorts, a tank top and flip flops. He walks in carrying a slurpee from the nearby 7-11. The artist says, so what are we doing today? I thought that was weird because my artist and I always have a plan worked before the appointment. The guy stands there moment, looks around, looks down at his splurpee, shrugs, and says, "How about this?" He had a slurpee tattoo put on his thigh. I thought it was flippin great. I think of that guy often and how he was just living life so carefree. Life is short, do what makes you happy. People who sit in judgment are probably miserable.

For years now, I have wanted to get "GAME OVER" tattooed on my knuckles. The only reason I have not done this yet is because (a) I'm not old enough, and (b) Knuckle tattoos f*cking HURT. I also have 3 dots on my right shoulder that make a perfect triangle, and I wanna get the lines connecting the dots tattooed on, and a paw print inside the triangle as a remembrance of my now dead dog, Bender.

A lot of young people( 18-- 25) choose tattoo designs for shock effect( swastikas; devils, or skulls). many get words written in a foreign language like Chinese or Japanese. I once heard about a guy who got a chinese tattoo. He believed that it said great warrior. After he got it done; a girl who could read chinese asked him about it. He proudly said it meant great warrior. She laughed . then she told him that it meant STUPID WHITE A*****E.

Listen.. I'm covered in tattoos. Are their styles or designs that I don't like or that I think are played out or lack creativity? Of course. That's why I don't have that design/style on my body. But what you get tattooed on your body is none of my business! My only pet peeve with other peoples tattoos is when they copy someone else's tattoo. It's okay to be inspired by someone else's work... but make it your own! I've had 3 of my tattoos stolen. Tattoos that i designed myself. 2 of which are tribute tattoos to my late father & pitbull. That's why I don't post photos of my tattoos on social media anymore. But other than that who fucken cares what you tattoo on your body. As long as you're happy with it & you didn't copy someone else.. then that's all that matters. Stop being pretentious, judgmental jerks about what other people do with their body.
