Do you look down on people with tattoos?

Resverathrole

A lot of people won't like what I'm about to say. I'm in Dublin at the moment and it's almost as if, that if you want to be cool and modern then you need to get a tattoo. I even find myself seeing guys with tattoos who don't seem to fit the stereotype for getting a tattoo! I even over heard a conversation recently where by a group of lads were confused why Ronaldo doesn't have tattoos!!

When I see senior managers with tattoos I often think to myself "fair play to you for getting so far, it's a pity you had to let yourself down with that disgusting ink marking on your wrist. That's how I know this is far as you'll get". They won't get to be CEO! Especially if they also say "I done"

When I see tattoos, all I think is that such a person is likely from a certain social class, that they're a trend follower, that they probably smoke, or that they're seeking validation of some sort. Effectively, tattoos all look the same, and all look horrible. I don't think much people pay attention to what the tattoos are, and more so "oh he's got a tattoo"

I'm 6'4" so I look down on most people.

Desperate stuff tattoos. Most look awful. Glad I don’t have any.

Sal Butamol

They are horrible, especially on women.

It depends on what part of the body you have them.

Mint Sauce

I'm only 5"6, so rarely look down on anyone.

HalloweenJack

To each their own. Don't see why it's anybody else's business if someone has a tattoo and the idea that it siggests something about a person is ridiculous.

I'm yet to get one myself but it's something I want to get done at some point.

OP, what's the stereotype for getting tattoos?

Ronan|Raven

Identikit ****ty looking sleeves.

dartboardio

I dunno, on some people they look trampy and in others artistic and beautiful.

I have a couple and I regret them and one is on my arm - I won’t wear a t shirt cause I hate it so much.

Please expand on what this means?

Are you for real?

If a company had an issue with tattoos, then they wouldn't promote someone with a tattoo to management. They have every chance of becoming CEO.

I happen to know a good few healthcare workers with tattoos, some being nurses, junior doctors, and medical scientists. Would you be so quick to judge if your life was in their hands?

Always think what is that going to look like when you age and go all wrinkly.

Each to there own. But hate them myself.

NinetyTwoTeam

When I see management types with tattoos, I think 'too bad you let yourself down by working in this lame corporate job with dorks who spend their time fantasizing about how they're going to be a CEO before you because they don't have any ink.'

Typical! Of course you'd say that if you're about to get one. Think twice and don't be so naive.

Are you telling me that if you did a statistical analysis on a group of people with tattoos, and a group of people without them, that it wouldn't reveal a lot of interesting facts?

Must mean upper middle class because tattoos are expensive.

Like maybe that their parents split, so they didn't have a mother to tell them not to get the fcuking thing.

Tattoos suggest lack of strategic/long term thinking, to me. This can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the scenario...

What's your occupation?

I think tattoos can be lovely. Don’t have any at the minute but will possibly invest sooner or later!

On paper. But these things are all subconscious.

Well of course there are always exceptions. Yes, I'd be as quick to judge. I would be more likely to keep my mouth shut though!!

I had to check the date of the op. No, not the 70s....


First time out of the house, op?

I love to see tattoos on women - very sexy!

So are cigarettes and the HD TVs that all those dole drawers have.

I don't look down on anyone who has them, but don't they always turn blurry blue green, so I do wonder why anybody bothers.

Reaching critical mass isn’t it. Why would you conform to that it’s more of a statement to not have some now look at the footballers it’s even creeping up their necks like ivy at this stage. All set to consume their face...

like that chump that caught my attention recently post malone his face looks fantastic... wise move sir, bravo. Trends are for kids but there’s people visiting these boutiques in the midst of midlife crises too. It might be a reflection of how trashy libertarian were becoming in the west. Elsewhere it’s still only only actual prostitutes and gangsters that have them

Sexy yeah. But I wouldn't be bringing them home to the family or anything... unless I was trying to piss off the mother.

The child going with the father would be less likely in this scenario to be fair.

But seriously, I'm jumping off this thread.

Not a fan of them, but different strokes for different folks

Most people I know with tattoos are, deep down, insecure people in need of some type of validation.
And I know plenty of them.

Heart Break Kid

I've got 3 tattoos, only one visible if I roll up my sleeves. I get a few looks, but nothing much, In work I make decisions whether something should go ahead or not, people have to sell their service to me. Point is if you have tattoos, get a job where your needed and no one will care about your tattoos visible or not.

Just tidied it up a bit there.

Sleeve tattoos are the ultimate cliche now, i might invest now in a laster removal device for these people ten years down the road.

Sounds like the op's partner pissed off with a person with a Tattoo or four, no wonder you're housemates hate you.... you sound like a miserable ould w*nker.

Always laugh at that.
