How totally damaged are people inside to do this to their bodies?
And the people who defile people’s bodies like this?
What the hell is wrong with THEM???

I see it as people painting over themselves because they´re not happy with themselves, or alternatively trying to elevate themselves spiritually into some idea they have - using ink.

It's unresolved trauma that has been buried deep in the subconscious mind.
It's an outward, physical manifestation of a cry for help from the subconscious mind.

Reminded me a bit of that Niko or Nico... The death-sentenced killer with the tats who was self harming in jail. I think you´re right.

I'll just go ahead and post this summary from another thread about the most serious and undiscussed reasons why tattoos are a bad idea...

So when Jane dumps you and assfucks your heart, breaks it into 1000 shattered pieces and lights it on fire and then shits on the roasted bits of your heart...
You're trapped in the timelines where Jane existed.
Rather than being able to jump timelines to where the bitch didn't even exist and you were never even together, you're stuck in timelines where Jane and you have a past.
Bad fucking idea.
Apply that logic to anything you might get a tattoo about.
It's restrictive in a whole lot of ways.

I don´t know whats worse, people tattooing names or people tattooing clichés like "Carpe Diem".

I'm 44 and I have NO ink. I always wanted "Metallica" down the inside of one of my forearms but I'd get to thinking: "What if one of those guys goes way off the rails and commits a bunch of fucked up crimes, or even just one fucked up crime. Then, I'm left with a fucked up association by way of tattoo. Mmmm, better hold off..."
Plus, I always thought people all tatted up looked dirty. Some chicks can pull it off if it's not overkill. Otherwise, why cover up all that beautiful pale skin?

Exactly...
Look at all the celebrities with careers spanning decades, throwing their fanbase under the bus saying basically fuck you if you don't hold the same political beliefs as we do. That's MESSED up.
You can't trust ANYTHING in the old-guard universe of celebrity... they are all tools, if not intentionally, then unintentionally.

I don't care if your skin is blemished all over the place, acne, freckles, sun damage, scars... people are the way they're supposed to be by nature. To mess with that is a grave act of disrespect.

Tattoos should be illegal.

If you want to get your face tattooed, you should be legally required to attend at least 2 years of psychotherapy to give the best effort in tracking down just what the hell you’re traumatized over and work through it.

I’d say 9 times out of 10 it’s because of sexual abuse.

Well you would know that trauma can start at the moment of conception so can be a hard thing to pinpoint. I am a dude who should be covered in tatts and even had them offered for free when I was young. My Dad's advice when I was young "Don't get Tattoos", priceless.

Well ive known a lot of dudes covered in tatts and ive found its usually either an obsession like an addiction or they are weak and think it makes them tough. But then there is cultural reasons like Maori's and Islanders.

Even the understandable reasons to get tattoos are related to trauma...
Like cosmetic tattoos that cover burn scars with skin tones, or tattooing over surgery scars.

Think of Japanese Yakuza, they get them to piss off society because tatts are frowned upon in Japan.
