I don’t like them, either, but each to their own.

I disagree with the OP and take exception with the definitive nature of the post. It should read "I think tattoos are ____ ugly". Stating opinion as if it is fact is extremely hurtful and, incorrect. YOU may not like tattoos but many people do and YOUR opinion is no more (or less) valuable or correct than anyone elses; it is just OPINION though. Remember that this is a forum for people who are ROUTINELY minimized by other. For people who have "weird" or uncommon interests. Making insulting, vitriolic, curse riddled declarations denigrating the way some people choose to decorate THEIR bodies (not YOUR body), or hobbies, or passions puts on display a disturbing ease and willingness for one to sub-humanize the "other". I personally find the language of this post unacceptable.

Tattoos are not ugly, wholesale attacks on people's dignity and individuality are ugly... In a deep, existential way that cannot be removed even by a high-powered laser. I am POSITIVE there are ways the OP chooses to ornate themselves that others may find visually displeasing. I implore the OP to consider how they would feel if, without any provocation, a style they "love" or have even come to feel is a part of their identity were to come under such deep, and cutting assault.

If the OP has an OPINION, to share it should be presented as such and even then with respect. No one HAS to LIKE anything. The OP doesn't HAVE to like tattoos... But, if they wish to post trash like this they will have to accept that my OPINION on the matter is that the OP's opinion, insofar as it is presented, is about as worthless as a hammer made if glass.

No one is denying your right to be offended.

I personally find tattoos hot, along with piercings and gauges on a guy as it adds an exotic almost non-human feature to them. But don't get me wrong, people can look any way they want. That's just my preference in terms what I find sexually appealing.

I don't like them either, and I have never been compatible with anyone who has tattoos (even one). The same goes for body piercings. Their views and demeanor's always turn out to be quite different from my own. Whether it be to look 'trendy' or simply because it is a hobby, I don't get along with people with tattoos *shrug* that's just my experience.

Where i live tattoos does not say anything about your social class. If you would look in another country, like Japan, tattoos are commonly associated with criminals and not the poor street types. In some cultures they are mandatory, regardless of social belonging.

It's a non issue for me. But i would never date a girl with a tribal tattoo covering her face.

People get tattoos for various reasons and some have significant personal meaning to the individual or serve a purpose such as to cover up a scar. I've seen some impressive tattoos but personally they are not particularly my thing and when people use them for the purpose of presenting a certain image, my impression is that it reflects a weakness of self identity.

Either this guy has an ice company or has to let everyone know he is cool, because they would apparently not have realized that unless he had the tattoos to tell them (because most people probably think he's not).

I get this impression most frequently when someone has a "fad" tattoo. I have a friend with a fad tattoo on his arm and I know he got it because he has a poor self image but I wish he didn't feel the need to and instead saw himself in a more positive light.

I guess he didn't get the memo that it's not cool to say you're cool
