Bugeye's Tattoo

[Chyron8472]

I still say I agree with Pvt. Church from Red vs. Blue about why you shouldn't ever get a tattoo:

"Number 1: Tattoo's are permanent.

Number 2: You are a god damn idiot. [...] Take your current age. Now, subtract 10 years from it. Were you smart back then? Of course you weren't, you were a god damn idiot. Fact of the matter is, you're just as big of an idiot today, it's just going to take you 10 more years to realize it. Now, think if you had drawn a picture on your body 10 years ago. Would you be happy with it today? Chances are you wouldn't be."

Number 1: Actually they aren't entirely.

Number 2: Old people with tattoos are badass and are usually more worried about their actual health than what's on their bodies.

Yes there are several bad tattoos out there. That's why you go to a good artist.






(I just picked these from a local artist)

Will these people regret having tattoos? Maybe. I don't know. Some will, some won't. Honestly. Look at that old guy posted earlier. Does he look upset?

Why is it so wrong for people to just do what they want? It's not like it's hurting you.

Since I derailed this thread for a while earlier, I suppose I ought to mention, I dislike tattoos. Except on certain fictional characters like Bugeye, of course. But on people... Well, I absolutely never want one, and if there's ever been a time that I've seen one on someone else and thought "that's awesome!", it's not coming to mind.

I like where this thread is going.

I think tattoos can look awesome, but I personally have no interest in turning my body into a canvas or a work of art. I don't want to be art, I want to be a human. You know, the animal. I'd feel less animal and more object if I had a tattoo or something along those lines, and I wouldn't like that.

But I'm not telling people not to do it. Just that, as with everything that's permanent, you need to find someone you trust to do a good job or you'll be stuck with the mistake.

And make sure you don't get something that will lose fashion/popularity in however many years; or stretch/shrivel if you gain/lose weight; or fade in color so you won't know what it is; or put it somewhere on your body that hampers your ability to be employed at a professional business; or get a design/pictographic character that noone knows what it means and you only know cuz someone else told you; or get the name of a band; or get a barbwire ring; or get a tramp stamp; or get something that your present/future spouse may not appreciate; or....


You see where I'm going with this.

Well, Chyron, these might not be as important to everyone. For instance if you type of job couldn't care less about tattoos, that point is irrelevant, etc.

It's not like people who get tattoos can't make their own decisions. Sure, some people do it without thinking but why act as though everyone did?

I hate where this thread is going. If you all hate tattoos so much and thing they look stupid and none should ever get them why did you bother clicking on the thread in the first place?

I meant the pictures.

Tattooed or not, who's gonna have beautiful flawless skin when they're 90? Honestly, a bit of ink won't make wrinkled, saggy flesh look any worse.

Also, I think a Bugeye-inspired tattoo would be rad.
