A permanent reminder of a temporary feeling.

A way for psychopathic old people to torture and mutilate the younger naive generations, to brand the younger generation like their cattle, and to mark the younger generation as their territory permanently.
That young girl just left the safety of her parents house to get a gigantic tattoo from a disgusting degenerate man as old as her father. Who knows what that guy was thinking while he was butchering her and she was wincing and crying out in pain.

The art of having ink permenantly put in your third layer of skin. It is a very ancient art, and most modern day people either: 1) Believe it is a stupid act of idiocy, drunkeness, lust, rebellion, or a form of trying to attract/impress others. 2) Believe it is cool, the "hip" thing to do, or a great idea to do without putting any true consideration into it. Any person who is willing to get a tattoo should have a real reason to get it, wether that be self expression, a reminder of something, or a symbol of something(or somebody) you truly care about. Those who feel it is an idiotic/evil thing to do should grow up and start thinking outside the box.

Sensible Newly Inked Person: I got a new tattoo, it's my grandfathers name. He taught me so much, and I want to show everybody that he is always with me.

Retarded Wannabe Rebelious Teenager: Check out this Japanese character I got tattooed on my shoulder! Now all the chicks will think I'm cool, and all the jocks/preps/rednecks will quit making fun of me!

A mark on a person that generally condems them to a life of crime, the more tattoos one has the higher the chance of a life filled with jails and institutions.
Ericas Dad: Erica just got like 20 tattoos all over her body

Ericas Mom: Well fuck we just pissed away 50k on her college. I wish she would have told me that so I could have prepped her for a life of crime.

Some tattoos are indeed stupid. Usually done by scratchers who will ink things onto teenagers who are too young to realize what they're doing, or people who really don't grasp the concept of a what a tattoo is and the reality of forever.

A well thought out quality tattoo means something to their wearer and is done by a professional. They can be very beautiful and personal at the same time.
I have my sons footprint tattooed on my shoulder. Every time I see it I remember what a wonderful joy he brought to my life when he was alive.

Ranging as early as 3300 BC the tattoo has been an integral part of religion, faith, history, ranking and art. It doesn't revolve around money regardless of what the general idiocricy populace thinks. Pull out some books and read up.
People who look down upon tattooing need to have my footprint tattooed on their forehead.

Something that no matter how much you want it, you should not get. Eventually you will grow to hate the tattoo that you have, which can only be removed by a very painful process that is also expensive. Unless you're looking to pay thousands of dollars in the future, aswell as endure even more pain than you endured while getting the tattoo.
I feel bad for a person I know that got a Slipknot tattoo.
