| You know another problem about tattoos? If you ever become a wanted criminal, they're an easy way of identification. So if you get one, you'd better not become a serial killer, is what I'm saying. |

What if you are the one to get murdered, huh? A taatoo would make you more easy to ID for the sake of your poor greiving family. All you can think about YOU and YOUR desire to become a mass murderer. Never your poor mother and how she will feel when you are a Jane Doe in a crime lab somewhere and she is wondering why she has not heard from you.
Selfish brat. |

| I really dislike people pulling out the "You'll still have it when you're 80 and you know what it will look like then?!" as a way to justify the dislike of tattoos.
Now, some of the tattoos here are pretty bad. Some are great. Some have more....questionable pop culture references that might be regrettable in the future. Like the Bart one. Or the cat one. Those are so laughably bad they are uncomfortable to see.
Me? Being tattooed, I don't care squat about what my tattoos will look like when I am older. By the time I make it into an old folks' home, it's likely I will have little to no clue anymore and won't care. On that note, if I do remember, at least I know I will have had fun when I was younger. I think I will be more worried about my saggy boobs and wrinkly face, since it ALL goes down the pan when you're older, not just the tattoos.
That being said, my fandom tattoo is Leeloo's tattoo from "The Fifth Element." I am a raging-hardcore 5th fan and have been since the film came out in '97. I don't have any tattoos I regret, but then it takes me a long time to consider what I want on my body.
I know, I know: tl:dr. |

I fail.
Thanks for steering me in the right direction, though...I may have that tattooed on my other wrist! |

| Have a friend who has Inspector Gadget's face tattooed to her upper arm, but I'd say it's pretty nicely done.
Most of these that are up here are pretty damn awful, but I did like the Wolverine riding a pony. |

I have a friend of a friend who did that as a tribute to a beloved relative. However, I'm certain someone has done the same thing for a stupid reason. The line between "actually incredibly beautiful and moving" and "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU??" is almost invisibly thin when it comes to, um, mimic concentration camp tattoos. |

Brilliant comment.
This is author Primo Levi's grave. He asked that his Auschwitz number be carved on it, because he couldn't imagine himself without it.
You never know how people will react to a visible mutilation or mark of shame - remember Hester Prynne from The Scarlet Letter and her beautiful embroidery, or think of women who don't get their mascectomy scars cosmetically repaired after they recover from cancer, even if they can afford the additional surgery. The unpleasant reminder may remain an awful thing forever, or the person may "get used to it" and become indifferent, or it may become a symbol of resilience and pride, or something more complicated could happen.
PS: read Primo Levi. He basically has no fandom (and maybe that's a good thing), but it's worth it 10x over. |

| Personally I think some fandom tattoos are nice, mostly the ones that are of a symbol or emblem related to something in the canon rather than a huge picture of the characters or something. Like I dunno a Triforce on the back of the hand. Then again maybe that's terrible and I'm just no good at tattoo evaluating. |

That, while a horrible idea, is at least well executed. I mean, you can recognize the people and all that. Good lord though, am I ever glad nobody in my family is the fanbrat type. |

And considerably faded.
My oldest son got his first tattoo as soon as he turned 18, and he's been accumulating them at the rate of 1-2 per year since them. He's already got one entire arm covered, and most of his right leg to the knee.
Unfortunately, he's starting to talk about getting his girlfriend's name tattooed on his other arm. They're getting ready to move in together, and while I'm happy for them, I've been trying to subtly point out to him the dangers of getting someone's name tattooed on you-i.e., you can't be sure it's going to last forever. My boss at my last job married a girl he'd known in high school who'd been married before and had her previous husband's name tattooed on her clavicle. Thankfully for him, they were both named Mark, so he wasn't faced with staring at another' guy's name whenever they had sex. Something that I would find a definite turn-off, but maybe that's just me. |
