Question: Can someone explain, or try to explain the recent obsession with tattoos?

[Bamabuzzard]

Wish I could explain it. Mostly, I just laugh at it, about like everything else. Heavily tattooed is just freaking nasty. Disgusting. Dirty. I don't think I could ever play organized sports in this day and age because I don't want that crap touching me. But if you wanna look that way, go on ahead with your bad self. I look at somebody like Jesse Williams, and I understand the heritage, culture, etc., and just shake my head. He looks like a clown.

Carry on.

This is painting with a broad brush but it seems those who get tats (multiple tats specifically) are also those type of people who crave attention.

The alpha male in the group of guys who always has to do or say something to established some sort of perceived "dominance". To ensure everybody knows he's Mr. Billy Joe Bad Britches. Or the person who puts every thought and emotion that goes through their body and mind on facebook. Again, painting with a broad brush but it seems it is a "look at me" type thing.

nothing like a tattoo to say "Hi, I make really bad decisions."

Awwwwwww no you didn't!

Oh yes I did. Knowingly. Expectant, even.

I don't have a problem with tattoos in moderation. It seems many people can't stop at one or two, though. If you do have them, they should represent something that is dear to you. I've met too many people who said "well, it looks cool" with no higher meaning. I've never gotten any, because I get bored with temporary tattoos.

If you're going to get one you may as well go all out and get the best:

Somebody told him "check yoself before you wreck yoself" and he went and did both

The "A" is on the inside of my leg between the special place where magic happens and the ankle. The fleur de lis is on the outside of my right leg between the knee and the ankle.

Pics or it didn't happen

Both are really too big

That's what she said to the 2 junked freak

You want the layman's explanation or the psychoanalytic interpretation?

No. You don't want the analytic interpretation. Think phallic object piercing another object. Over and over. And over again.
