Tattoos are amazing art for the human body. You must be 18 to legally recieve one unless your parents are complete morons and decide to sign for you when you're too young...in which case you'll probably get a dumb-ass tattoo like a hand gun with "187" above it because you think you're a gangster!

Tattoos, for adults who have an actual brain inside their skull, are a way of telling their life story or a way of remembering things or people you love. Getting a tattoo is not something little kids should do because if you're not mature you will get something really stupid that you will regret later in life because you'll then realize that it REALLY IS PERMANENT!!! My tattoos are gorgeous because I was smart...HOPEFULLY someone who's thinking about getting something like a "Gang Tattoo" or a "Butter Knife" on their forearm will read this and remind themselves that maybe what you're thinking of getting just might not be that cool!!
Good example..."WOW, I would love to get tattoos on my back so that I can know it's there but I can also cover it up so that I still have a chance to get a good job!"


Bad example...(15 yr old girl) "I want a tattoo, like, soooo bad!! But my mommy and daddy won't, like, let me get one...so I'm going to, like, get this guy from school I know to, like, put my name, like, REAL big across my stomach but, like, real low so my pants will cover it up so, like, my parents can't find out!!"

(After 15 yr old girl gets tattoo, her smart 18 yr old sister see's it)
(Sister) "WOW"
(15 yr old) "You're, like, soooo jealous, huh??!!"
(Sister) "Of what?? The tattoo that you got some some kid at school who stole his brother's USED tattoo gun? OR the fact that I don't have one on my stomach so when I have children it won't be able to stretch on me, look disgusting and hang down and then never being able to show my stomach again??"
(15 yr old) "Like...BUMMER!!"

The Urban Dictionary Store sells gifts you’ll have to explain.
Something even dorks get these days. They no longer indicate a badass individual, because they've been copied and replicated by so many people that nowadays instead of a few people having a tattoo, there's just a few people left that don't.
That cocky, plain 98 pound dork had tattoos all over her body and thought she could kick anyone's ass just like several million other people think these days. It's kind of like the trend where everyone thinks they are an ultimate fighter, a reality TV/game show badass, Bruce Lee reincarnated, or any variation of many different things people see on TV or youtube. What tattoos have become is not what tattoos were originally meant to be.

Spiderweb Tattoos 

The symbol of the 'spiderweb tattoo' means the wearer has, or is currently "doing time." It is most commonly seen on the elbow, neck, or knee. However, one might find this symbol almost anywhere on the body, the placement of the tattoo itself makes no difference. Usually this symbol means that the wearer has done time in jail, or prison. This specific symbol is used to show time locked up, because the spiderweb itself symbolizes how a spider web catches, or imprisons it's prey. This tattoo can be found on all ethnicities, and all different gang affiliates. These days inmates will wear this tattoo to look the part of the "tough guy."

This tattoo can also mean "struggle." If one has been through a certian struggle in their life such as; overcoming a drug addiction, getting out of a gang, getting out of prison/jail, or even something like losing a loved one.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
