Why is this titled “stupid tattoos”? Less that half of these are stupid.
26072007
Jessica (21:32:45) :
Yeah i agree with craig, how do you think that tattoo would look in 30 years,
3082007
Minako (21:58:09) :
Actually, I kind of thought the Mario as Buddha or whoever was kinda cute.. but for a permanent thing, naw, most of these are silly.
4082007
James (14:00:48) :
There are worse things than tattoo’s I reckon; take piercings for example - “Hey, look at me, I have an open wound with a foreign object inserted in it, cool huh?”. At least tattoo’s have some artistic merit (if done well); piercings are just pathetic. Although the ‘Mr Cool Ice’ and the ‘MySpace’ tattoos have earned their wearers an eternity in the innermost circles of hell being buggered with a house brick.

Amy (19:18:52) :
There are some great tattoos and there are some that I do not get no matter what the tattoo is is it is special to the person that chose that tattoo. Thank God we live in America and we have the freedom to choose. Who gave anyone the right to say those are stupid. And who is Craig to Judge people? I love tattoos and the artistic and the uniqueness value of them.

Cynthia (00:01:06) :
Actually, i love tattoos, but i dont understand what was thinking the skeleton guy… but it’s a personal choice, right?
14122007
Emma (01:48:03) :
About the “skeleton guy”–I actually read on another website that his plan is to transform his whole body into a skeleton thru tattoos. He’s also gonna have muscles and maggots and stuff, too. He’s like that “cat” guy that I’m sure everyone has seen, the one that had his tongue split and all this other stuff done.

….I think my friend has one of these tattoos. I think some of these are pretty awesome. Not the myspace one, though. That one isn’t cool. But I love the Nintendo tattoos. Especially the Zelda ones.
3012008
crispy (21:12:21) :
Wow, people are so concerned about others’ decisions. Who cares what anyone does to their body OR what it will look like in 30 years. Do YOU care what any of these people think about YOUR looks? Probably not. Hooray for the freedom to do what we wish to our bodies. Oh, and those nintendo tats are awesome.
I’ve learned never to openly insult anyone’s art, including tats. While an item of art may mean nothing to one person, or even many people, the creator or owner of that art may think it the most wonderful thing in the world, and treasure it deeply.
26022008
Jasmin (19:34:43) :
People usually get tat’s to get extra attention, or to be “different”. But they all end up looking the same. Sometimes I think people just don’t have enough of a personality to appeal to people so they get drawings permantly inked on them so they have something to talk about. To me it’s a fad that’s passed. I also dislike people who say dude all the time.
29022008
Andrew (00:37:40) :
My first thought was “Oh, my God! Super Mario! So cool! So awesome! So totally cool and awesome!”
Then I thought: “Oh, my God. I’m a loser.” Well, that’s what I get for being a child of the ’80s.
Still. Mario is cool. Isn’t he?
12032008
IMPRESSED (07:28:03) :
Hey man. These tattoos are NOT STUPID. It took someone a whole lotta work for the tattoos to looks cools are almost just like the character. Who the hell are you to judge??
12052008
Hey Morons (11:03:34) :
These tattoos ARE stupid! The art is great, but the concept is stupid. ie, PacMan on your ass - who sees it? you? after you struggle in front of the mirror to get the right angle to see it in reverse? or do you do a lot of mooning? or walking around naked? otherwise it’s only your lover that sees it, and only occasionally. If you need a conversation piece that badly you may need a complete personality adjustment.
Or maybe just assisted suicide.

Cat (21:23:01) :
That Zelda one is amazing! Great drawing, really well done and colours are fantastic.
The vegetable one is crap, Ron Burgundy one looks retarted too and the lighthouse sucks. Why go to a tattoo artist that can’t draw??
17062008
Haley (00:25:20) :
A lot of these tattoos are really well done (the mario one is brilliant).
24062008
Mike (01:30:59) :
I always lose respect for people when I learn that their mind is closed up tighter than a drum. I can’t believe its 2008 and people still take such an ignorant stance on something they choose not to participate in. Some of the artwork here *sucks* but there’s also some pretty impressive work, and while I may not be interested in getting liv tyler’s portrait on my leg, I still want to shake the hand of the artist.
12072008
dave (22:51:27) :
okay some of you are really naive and annoying. You can’t say their tats are their arts unless they drew it on themselves. Hell I can say that the art of mona lisa is mine when i just own it if you think like that. If you drew it on yourself, I’ll respect it as art and not when someone else drew it on for you. And no, you’re ignorant because you must be really dumb in the head if you really think some of these tattoos are worth getting.
21072008
Open your mind (06:25:13) :
Seriously people? Some of you can cram it. Although I personally would not want some of these tattoos on my body. tattoos are a form of art, whether or not you want to accept it as a fact. Tattoo art can be beautiful and fascinating. as can piercings. So who are you to judge somebody else for putting a work of art onto their body? I for one just got a beautiful tattoo on my back, of a Japenese cherry blossom tree. It has personal symbolic meaning to me, and I treasure it deeply, many people have different reasons for tattoos, and that should be respected, you judging somebody for a tattoo would be like me judging you for any personal choice you make. And I agree, I lose respect for somebody who has a closed mind. If you don’t want a tattoo, then don’t get one and shutup about it. The end.

I have to say the myspace and mr ice one is stupid as hell the Micheal Jackson one some one need to get a life and the man with the ” well balanced breakfast” on his head they are as stupid as it comes but as far a tattoos are considered I like them and have one myself and want another 1
29092008
Holly (06:04:39) :
I told myself I’d never post on these kind of blog arguments, but I can’t help myself. Basically, a bunch of people posting here are being irrational and/or feel strongly that these tattoos suck. Well, people saying such things, understand that most of the people that get these tattoos know what they’re doing and are getting these tattoos as jokes which I, frankly, think is freaking terrific. If your the kind of egotistical, sarcastic, insulting person (you know the kind I mean, think fratboy) that can totally pull off say, getting a tattoo of yourself on your back, do it, because it fits your character and it’s really funny and all that jazz. As for the people whom get “dumb” tattoos because they believe in them, you can insult them until you’re blue in the face, but all that is is mean. People attack each other over their values all day long, though, so if causing unnecessary anger/depression of others is something you do, go ahead and laugh at the biker couple that got each other’s names on their chests, but also remember that couple probably really values that permanent bond of ink. And, and, and, and, for the person who said “Yeah i agree with craig, how do you think that tattoo would look in 30 years,” and the people who said similar things, while some people get drunken tattoos or other short term ink, a lot of people really plan their tattoo and make sure they want it and get a good artist whom they know and ect, ect, ect, and end up loving their tat until the day they die.

TATTLESS 4 LIFE (17:02:05) :
I wouldn’t have a permanent tattoo if you paid me. IM SERIOUS! No not even for a million bux. I’d rather be famous as the person who turned down a million bucks than the one who got a permanent scar for a million bucks. You have a tattoo? Well good for you. Live long and prosper. The carnival is in town and they are hiring…

Ben (10:27:13) :
I have a tattoo of the Triforce from zelda, not because I’m a super geek, but because I used to play zelda all the time with my brother and one of my closest friends when I was younger. My tattoo symbolizes that to me, not just the game. Most tattoos are deeper than just the ink and design.

Reward (01:06:40) :
while i think that a lot of these people are crazy and some even stupid I get the same reaction from my family after getting mine. IF these people have real reasons for getting some of these things permenetly etched in their skin i dont know where they pulled it from. tattoos mean a hell of a lot to me and honestly i just dont understand why you would decorate you body that way. thought is the number one thing i put into my tattoos
30122008
snout (22:28:32) :
Maybe tattoos are art, and good art at that. It’s the mentality that goes behind it all that makes the person under the tattoo look kind of pathetic … “look at me. I’m different … right? Even though ten thousand other people in this town have tattoos? I’m different from them, right? I’m cool, right?” Wrong. The desire to be considered “cool” is so blatantly obvious it’s just embarrassing. People with tattoos are embarrassing to be around.

Emily (01:05:52) :
I am personally against tattoos. I have no clue why people must have them. My father has three and I think of him a little bit less to look up to because of them. When you are married and have children I can almost guarantee that you wouldn’t want your child to get a tattoo. They hurt a lot too. Especially the ones that people have that aren’t even about a memory or something special. I guess it isn’t that bad if it’s something you feel is important. But overall, I really don’t like them.

chad (23:07:23) :
Silly tattoos are fun, my friend has a T-bone steak and it’s a great conversation piece. And to those who say “what will that look like in 30 years” (jessica) What will your face look like in 30 years? I can hardly imagine looking in the mirror at a wrinkled old FACE, and be worried about some wrinkled ink on my arm…so piss off.
14032009
Inked and proud (08:26:35) :
Dear “Snout”,
By making a generalized statement concerning every person in the world whom has a tattoo, you make yourself, simply, look like an uneducated fool. In fact, it is a stereotype to assume that every person gets a tattoo simply to be ‘cool’.
Pompous jackass. You would shame me if you were in my acquaintance. I hope that some day you find your better half, as you need to become a better person. And yes, I am a hypocrite for judging you as you have judged a group of people (and to everyone else jumping on the outdated “oh em gee tasteless” bandwagon of the 50s) but at least I freely admit it.
All of you who do not like tattoos, do not get them. Simple as that. Now shut up, please, and let the rest of us do what we will.
Sincerely,
Inked and Proud.

Hey i’m Ryan i have 8 tattoos but i mean i did them rebelling against my dad and really i like them but man is it hard to get a job. i personally find tattoos attractive on females i mean come on its hot piercings too. My girlfriend has snakebites as do i and i also have a septum ring but i mean its my body i do as i please i wont be in a corporate job anyways

Val (16:04:08) :
Hey Amy, If this is America and we have “the right” to choose, this is still America where we also have “the right” to think that tattoos are stupid. I will be different by not having the equivalent of a bumper sticker plastered permanently to my body. I respect my car enough not to put one on it either. On women especially they look sleazy. Let’s face it, it’s a low class thing.
28052009
nameless (22:56:50) :
Wow I was not aware that there are still so many ignorant people in the world. Honestly, didn’t your mothers teach you any manners? If you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all, especially if you are ignorant and obviously lonely pathetic excuses for human beings who have nothing better to do then bitch about other people’s choices. It’s not your body or really your place to say anything, so please stop complaining.
P.S. this message comes from someone with no tattoos, believe it or not.

To_Val (05:30:18) :
You’re right of course, you have complete freedom to express your out-dated, close-minded, and really just plain offensive views anywhere and any time you so desire. I mean, I would be a hypocrite if I tried to deny you your the ability to express ethnocentric views, and your logic that even a simpleton should be able to poke holes in if they so chose. So yes, enjoy your upper-class friends, and grumble about how liberals are destroying society, and how welfare is the reason the economy is crashing, just don’t be surprised when people ignore you, we’re just busy living in the real world.
