“Do you think my tattoo is cool?” No, I don’t. There are no cool tattoos. “Check out my sleeve!” Oh god ew.

Tattoos themselves are stupid. Doubly so if it’s some media IP. “I put Batman on my body!” “Look at this image of Goku on my calf!” I can’t think of many things I’d want to do less than that.

There are a few narrow exceptions. Chances are yours isn’t one of them.

If you personally like tattoos, fine. I’m not saying nobody should get tattoos because I don’t like them. I’m stating my opinion that tattoos are stupid, and I am stating it here because it is probably not a popular opinion.

    I can totally make something up!

    Something bad happens to you & you expect It have a subconscious impact on you for the rest of your life, mainly in a negative way. So you go get the tattoo to have a visual reminder that at the end of it all, you were able to overcome. So you have a physical thing to try to help your mental health as a way to offset the intangible ongoing mental impact.

    (PERSONALLY pretty sure I’d rather keep bad vibes off my skin)
