SOME REALLY TEDIOUS DUMB SHIT THAT SUCKS ASS TO READ ->>

Happy Landfill posted:

I guess I'm still stuck in that "tattoos as having meaning rather than just being something cool" mindset.

'i wanted to get that tattooed on me' is a meaning, yknow

more seriously though, i think a lot of the 'tattoos *have* to have meaning' comes from people residually seeing tattoos as transgressive, even if they aren't as stigmatized anymore, so in order to justify the transgression there must be some redeeming quality or meaning to it.

Setting aside the suggestion that tattoos have to or even should have meaning, you're left with the baseline that it's hard not to assign meaning to significantly placed bits of imagery

Even if everyone had that mindset think about the kind of stuff that fourteen year olds think is profound and deep, and combine that level of emotional sophistication with a complete lack of aesthetic sense. "Omg I love those books" is about as deep as some people get.

I knew a guy in high school who thought reading was dumb and for losers. Then the first Halo book came out, and he gave it a try because how could it not be cool, it's Halo!1! Then he asked friends if there were books that games like Halo drew from, and next thing I knew he was blitzing through Niven, Asimov, and the like, before branching out to other genres. Turned out he wasn't a moron; he'd just been profoundly failed by the school system and his parents.

Now imagine what kind of tats he'd get if he hadn't been open to new experiences slash curious enough to branch out from Halo books.

yeah i've met the tattoo version of this guy and the answer is a huge mediocre quality slipknot tattoo

It's a NSFW pic (he's naked but holding a shirt over his crotch), but I see what appears to be a very blurry...Katya? on his neck.

1st/2nd tattoos: Simpsons memes
3rd tattoo: linework inspired off some cool art (Mucha)
4th: simpsons reference
5th: trad-style wizard and castle (based off some songs of my favourite band)
6th/7th: simpsons references
(had to look em up in photo album as i've forgotten the order now)

Other than growing up with the Simpsons, there's no real meaning to any of mine.

Don't need a tattoo to remind me of death, just need to lay in bed for that!
