I’m 66, and enjoyed this. As a graphic designer creative director, my job has been to stay. On top and predict trends. One reason I never would have considered a tattoo. I would be sick of it in a year, just as I was of my own work. I find nothing sadder than a beautiful young lady who looks like she was thrown into a dumpster full of uncapped colored markers and rolled down a rocky hill.

That last paragraph was so much more artistic than any tattoo I've ever seen. You made a better case just there than the guy in the video. Do you write? If not, you should. You have a good imagination. And, the thing is, tattoos are a sign of vanity. What they indicate in their wearers is a valuation of the physical over the mental. Oddly, it's also a trashing of the physical. They are making themselves ugly for the sake of VANITY! What a strange idea. Yet it is so.

Can you explain why tattoos have exploded in advertising? I don't mean the Mad Men, I mean the models in the ads. Are those tattoos done in Photoshop? Are brands trying to be trendy? I just don't get it. I thought models had to be relatable. Yesterday I saw an ad for underwear, the model had tattoos all over. How can I relate to that?

I have never saw a tattoo on a woman that made her more attractive than she already was. However, I have seen far too many randomly placed, stupid and nonsensical tatts that have forced me to conclude and assume that the wearer is a low IQ, low value person. To deface yourself, is to debase yourself. Just my two cents. There should be a bigger market for temporary tattoos that you can try before you buy and deciding to have them permanently etched to yourself.

One of my ex's was covered in tattoos. She looked goth and cool when she was in her 20's but when she hit her mid 30's and her skin was stretching a bit after having a kid the tattoos looked comical. She would wear lots of clothes to cover them up and didn't want me to mention them even though they were everywhere. Her angst and regret caused such bad self-image that she started going through a second stage of life where she wanted younger guys to be interested in her and give her validation. She finally started sleeping with the younger guys and that's when the relationship ended. Her tattoos were a massive issue to her but she self-destructed blaming everyone else.

In the UK where i lived for years, it was over half of young girls had tattoos (plural). On normally visible places. Now I am back in central (what you call eastern) Europe and Tattoo is considered something losers, criminals and drug addicts have. Not normal people. Yes, there is a tiny group of artists and soldiers as well, but those are just few individuals. It might have been considered edgy and cool in the 90's, but it fell out of fashion quickly. It is btw why Czech and Hungarian porn stars are so popular - many of them are natural, no silicone, no tattoos. I wonder if that has something to do with - And I travelled a lot through the USA and Europe and it matches perfectly - with neomarxism (SJW trend). We do have SJW's here, but it is just a tiny fraction of what exists in the west. It is rare to see a person, who ha tattoos and has right wing ideas (libertarianism, small government, low taxes), and it is hard to find a SJW without tattoos. Just a thought. I believe in freedom of choice and I couldn't care less what you do with your skin, but unless a person is a member of a tribe, unit, brotherhood (sisterhood), needs to cower a nasty scar or has an important message to tell people (A-, allergy to penicillin), I consider said person an idiot. No, you are not edgy, if you have a "fried rice" Chinese character on your shoulder, barbed wire around your arm or a dolphin on your ankle.

SJW is short for "social justice warrior", someone, who takes neo-marxists ideas to modern issues, someone, who sees the society as a class struggle. Although a class now is not only "proletariate" or "bourgeoisie", but it is defined by various standards, sex, sexual orientation, skin colour, religion etc. SJW believes that there is a struggle between a group that holds power and a group that is oppressed. No middle ground. Whatever bad happens to women (they make on average less than men) is caused by patriarchy, evil society dominated by men (and not by the fact that women raise babies and thus stay at home for several years during their lives). An SJW has usually a very clear ladder of oppression, where the worst opressor is a combination of certain characteristics (white heterosexual non-trans male, either christian or atheist, with no disabilities and from non-immigrant background). Changing any of the characteristics "earns" you points on something that is by evil people like us called "the oppression olympics" - according to wiki: Oppression Olympics is a term used to describe verbal banter between allegedly marginalized groups, who are trying to determine the weight of their overall oppression, often by comparing race, gender, socioeconomic status or disabilities, in order to determine who is the worst off, and the most oppressed.

You can get one after you turn 21, or 2, you move out and live on your own and be independent at which time can do whatever you want." It worked. Both are now in their 30's and are tattoo-less today.

All he wanted to do was see what I looked like. I was wearing a dark suit and tie. We chatted a bit afterwards and I asked him about the shortness of the interview and he confided in me the real reason. He was going to send me on an interview and I was going to reflect on HIM and his company. He said I just wanted to make sure that I didn't have piercings or tattoos. And he said this. NO ONE will ever come back and say, " You know, I liked your candidate, but I just wished his nose was pierced or he had a few tattoos. NEVER going to happen.

I'm sure, that people judging people with tattoos is not as severe nowadays, as when I grew up. In the '60's & '70's, a tattoo meant, that you'd almost instantaneously cut your job prospects in half, & if & when you got a job, you'd never be promoted more than a notch or two up the ladder over a 40 year career, if you had a visible tattoo. ...Even people, who had tattoo, always advised kids to never get them. In those days, if a woman had a tattoo, it meant, that they had worked as a drug addicted prostitute a some point in their life. There may have been an outside chance, that they'd worked in a circus freak show, but you just didn't see woman with them. I suppose, that some woman may have had some small descrete tattoo, that only their husband or doctor knew about. A girl couldn't even get a job as a stripper in a convention city, if they had a tattoo. ...Maybe at a strip joint down by the wharf.

Proper design for the size or your tattoo, proper technique when applying the tattoo, how well it healed, how well you take care of it and most imoportant of all. When you got it done. Ink has evolved and gotten so much better over the years which increases longevity by a huge margin, comparing it tattoos that where made 30-40 years a go is not a fair comparison.

When I was 20 I had a good job making good money in the steel mills. This was 1976 and most of the guys in the mills were tough guys, vets and outliers, so most had tattoos. One night after some heavy drinking my buddies and I went to a tattoo parlor. My buddies already had tattoos so getting another was not a big deal for them. Me I was afraid of needles but this night was liquored up enough to get not one but two. The artists had me pick out what I wanted, gave me paper copies and said to put them on my bathroom mirror for a month. If I still wanted ink he was my guy... Thanks to that very smart and kind artists I do not have any tattoos. My kids heard my story but hey for them it was the 90's and they began their tattoo journey, they "feel the need for ink" and of course it shows the world how crazy and wild they are... So I think one day the "uninked" will be the outliers and will be considered the coolest of the cool and the wildest of the wild.

I tried to walk the narrow road but only on the outside. I have many dark secrets that my outward appearance hides. Likewise many tattoo'd individuals have the vice versa looking bad but being pure and good hearted on the inside. Many good people turn to various forms of self expression and or tormenting due to their sensitivities to the brutalities of the world. I have heard of tattoos being very therapeutic for people especially war veterans and others who have suffered intense emotional pains.

To note, all my tattoos that are still being planned, and have been planned over the course of years, to me are a depiction of my life, my heritage, and things that I have enjoyed and still enjoy from childhood through adulthood. You make Very good points and expressions regarding this topic and I can absolutely appreciate all you've said.

I wish your message would catch on like wildfire, but sadly I don't think that it will. The message that this man is making is also making him an oracle of knowledge. I have told so many that every decade of your life, you will reinvent yourself, but if you're all inked up, a permanent stain from a time gone by will haunt your future self. Tattoos on women are a trashy connotation and I don't believe that all things being equal, a guy will take a girl with no ink on her everytime. That's not just my opinion, that's also 99.99% of the human population.

Dave, I thoroughly enjoyed your video today. I work in a superstore in the state of Mich. In 23 years I have seen this Fad explode to the point that it is rare NOT to see a tattooed girl or woman or guy. As with every fad it will come to a crashing halt and they will be the people you point to, and say why? The next fad will be the use of a laser machine to make an attempt to erase them off the skin at a cost of 15 to 20 times the cost to originally put them in the skin in the first place. Keep up the great work, this video has been needed for a long time. Maybe once a year a new one would be good, so we can try to stop this madness.

SPECIFIC THINGS some people get tatted might be parts of fads, and some may regret them, but others will see them as reminders of things that made them happy in the past, and that makes it a non issue. Stupid people may get stupid tats, and they may regret them, and you know what? That's a perfect example of great consequences.

She and her husband had gone round and round with their daughter (my niece) trying to persuade her not to get a tattoo. I said I'll give it a shot since I am favorite uncle. I called her her and we talked for awhile. We went over all the pluses and minuses of getting a tattoo. She told me how she designed it and was looking forward to getting it on the back of her neck (palm slap to forehead). She told me that she loved me and respected me but please do not try to talk her out this....so I said this: "It is your body, you can do whatever you want with it. If you want to get some ink, that's your business. But! Do not be one of these people with a long story behind your tattoo, what it means or its significance etc....because nobody gives a shit about dolphins jumping through rainbows or whatever and if they do they probably just want something...other than your tattoo story." I then told her I would pay to have it put on with henna and keep it updated for a year, if she absolutely had to see how it feels. After that year if she still wants a tattoo...I'd split the cost. She called me 3 days later and said she didn't need one....it all clicked, she then said they are kind of dumb!

I had a beloved family member die by suicide in 2012, which affected me DEEPLY and in ways not many would (care to) understand. In 2014, on her birthday, I got my first (and so far, only) tattoo. It’s of a feather for its symbolism and just underneath is written the Portuguese word “Saudade”. So, for me, it IS a perfect personal expression, beyond that of the artist. Anyway, that’s the best way I can explain it I suppose. But I wish you (and all!) a blessed and happy new year!!!

I hear you and respect your opinion. I being a heavily tattooed person with hundreds of hours spent under the needle may disagree with you on certain things. But I understand the message you're trying to send. Especially now in 2022 where everyone is getting tattooed. It's actually uncommon to see an untattooed person. The way I interpreted your video is, think before you do something that may limit you in the future. I don't think it will limit you from growing as a person. But in some job fields. Tattooes are still taboo...at least the visible ones. For anyone who reads this comment. If you decide to get tattooed. Please make sure it's something that you can cover with a T-Shirt. Stay away from face, hands and neck tattooes. At least until you figure out what you want to do for a career. I'm a truck driver by trade so tattooes aren't a big deal, but before I became a driver. I worked in a corporate setting and have been turned down when applying for certain corporate positions wether that be desk jockey, manager etc. Because I have my hands, throat and neck tattooed. That is the world we live in at the moment. Some people still look at tattooed individuals as criminals. It's unfortunate. But its just the truth. Personally, i don't want to work or associate with a company that judges me and my work ethic based off of how I look. Some of the hardest workers and greatest leaders I've ever met were covered in tattooes. It's sad that in 2022. We are still labeled outcasts.
