“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.

    Personally I have nothing against tattoos—you don’t have to be an artist to appreciate art—I simply cannot think of any design or text I like so much that I want it displayed permanently on my skin.

    Also I do not have the pain tolerance nor the nerves to sit still while I get stabbed hundreds (thousands?) of times a second. I hate needles with a burning passion; I can barely handle getting my blood drawn.
