Why do people on this site hate tatoos so much?

[Still-alive]

Being on this site awhile eventually you'll see a lot of people who just outright hate tattoos and some even go as far as to hate the people who get them too.

Why all the hate for tattoos?

I have one tattoo on my right upper arm and thinking of getting another one on my left one someday. i definitely am not a tattoo hater.

because Tattoo people are attention seekers

Jealousy

Tattoos just look tacky/not good most of the time

It makes them look like thugs or gang members

Especially if its a facial tattoo it's like saying "It's cool, I don't ever need a job."

I hate tattoos for a different reason (say yours)

I don't hate tattoos or i have tattoos myself and want to see results

Strangely enough i see more hate toward women with tattooed bodies than men... wonder whats up with that? (i think i know already sadly lol)

All im saying is let people do what the fuck they want and keep your judging to yourselves.

"Judge not lest ye be judged" should be your motto!

[desidoll]

I never knew you have one! Well, if you notice, the hate is mostly directed to us, women. I know a few who hate them on both genders but I would say around 80% focus on women more. It is a form of control. Society seems to program us into hating/liking on certain things and whatever that is seen as wrong to them is considered bad.

[Still-alive]

Yup i got a cross lol

[desidoll]

Oh, is that and old tattoo?

[Still-alive]

It is. Got it in 2005

[Smashingdoozy]

Yeah totally attention seekers. God damn people with tattoos are such attention whores

[Still-alive]

Totally! Whats next? People with green hair?

[CrimsonAngel09]

From what I seen on that post, mainly women with tattoos:

"A woman pretty much vandalizes her body."

"Getting tattoos is stupid, there's no meaning behind them."

"Tattoos are trashy."

"God says we shouldn't ruin our bodies."

"It's unladylike to get tattoos."

I honestly couldn't give a fuck.

1) Our body, our choice.

2) I don't believe in God.

3) Tattoos CAN have meaning. I'd love a strawberry one in memory of my Mom. I need to do a lot of research on who to go to and what style I want, as it will be permanent.

4) Unladylike? Yeah, I've always never been fucking "ladylike".

5) I don't know why they care, at the end of the day they could give two shits we do in our own home or in public.

I love Hurk who has tattoos, so... TAT BRO!!!

[Still-alive]

"God says we shouldn't ruin our bodies."

yup there are a lot of these bible thumping judgmental people on here.

I don't per se "hate" tattoo on either sex. That being said, I hate facial tattoos. I think that they take away from the natural beauty of the person, and yes, I do believe that it makes it harder for you to be taken seriously and to get a good professional job. Not always, but most of the time.

And I will say that I really really don't like full-body tattoos. I don't find them attractive. It is too much. And again I think it takes away from the natural beauty of the person.

Okay, now to what I don't hate about tattoos... I think that a few strategically placed, well-done tattoos can look incredibly sexy on a man or a woman. A tattoo or tattoos can cover up scars that you would like to hide. A tattoo can be a tribute to a child, a wife, husband, partner, mother, father, or some other significant person in your life that you want to honor. It can also be a way to remember a loved person or pet that has been lost to you. All of these are wonderful reasons for a tattoo. I just believe that tattoos should be used to enhance your beauty, not cover up your beauty!

Beautiful example of a well thought-out and well-done tattoo

A beautiful way to celebrate your body after what most would consider a tragic loss.

I don't hate tattoos on other people, I just think they're stupid, like painting graffiti on your new car, so I would never get one.

They show the world you make rash decisions with little care about the future consequences. You have no idea who you'll be or what your values will be in 10 years, let's burden that future you with Harry Potter and a Chinese character that says "Gonorrhea" that we were told said "Hope"

Tattoos show people how different you are by being just like everyone else being different.

You guys get all the tattoos you want. I'll be over here missing out, silently judging you, but not hating.

[Still-alive]

Wow… very judgmental nice

[A_Bell]

You're welcome.

For me, when a man has a tattoo, but not something weird like naked woman, roses etc, I like it, they actually look hot, I don’t know if they would look hot anymore tho when they will get older 😂
On the other hand, woman is very feminine, you wear nice dress sometimes and there is some flower on your arm or your leg… so I don’t like this huge tattoos on women, maybe something small. At the end of the day is their body not mine so I don’t care
But would you put some stickers on your Ferrari in general? Probably not, the car is fancy, and hot without any addition to it 😜same with woman body

[Apple1996]

They just love to hate on everything. Doesn't matter what it is they'll find a way to hate it. I don't personally have any tattoos but I definitely don't hate them. I actually think men with tattoos are crazy sexy 😜

[Still-alive]

Well ill get more just for that reason then heh

[petitedollbabee]

Lots of people are just sour pusses on here. If you’re doing something to your own body and it’s something that makes you happy, especially if you’re a woman, then there will always be someone on GaG that says it’s wrong.

[ShesRad80]

who knows really? i love when people tell me or i see on here about tattoos you won't get a job, im a resident lol so yeah i find it hilarious. again these types with no actual words besides swears to elaborate a feeling the same kind of patient we refuse treating when they act like so. read the reply to my answer

[ShesRad80]

(1) If you don't have a tattoo what is the reason holding you back from getting one? - GirlsAskGuys

[DextroShade]

Men can pull them off sometimes but they always look trashy on women. I have never seen a tattoo that made a woman look better, only worse and trashier.

[Still-alive]

Of course youd think that

[zagor]

It is kind of foolish to think the things that are important to you now will always be thus, so for young people especially it is a bad idea to get tattoos. Especially large and obvious ones.

[Still-alive]

What if they like it even when they grow up?

[zagor]

No way to know if that will be the case.

[Still-alive]

Well if its someone you knew maybe later on in life they tell you

[Flatmanlewis]

I have some ink but (hypocritically) do not like tattoos on a woman. I just think it ruins a woman’s beauty. You don’t slap a bumper sticker on a Bentley.

[BigDog1989]

For a lot of us, it's religion.

It's a sin, to "desecrate" the body, and tattoos are a form of desecration

[Still-alive]

So why not listen to Jesus when he says 'judge not lest ye be judged?'

[BigDog1989]

Because religion is crap

[Summeroflove]

Not really sure. I think some tattoos look silly. But if someone doesn’t want tattoos then they don’t have to get them. Why care what someone else does?

[thegreenyogi]

I don't hate tatooes. I don't have any tattoos and I probably won't ever get one. But they are intriguing.

[butterly248]

I don't have tatooes either 😂

[menina]

I don't know about other people but I personally don't like tattoos especially when someone has more than 2.

[MemeSupreme]

i don't pay attention to it lol its the internet and people are negative

[LiamJHayden]

I have no interest in getting any myself, but some of my friends are into them. One has both sleeves and much of her back done. I do admit to disliking extreme face ink, though.

[WhitneySnow]

I don’t have any, but I don’t hate them. I think they’re pretty cool.

[Nikki1989]

It just another part of the judgmental nature of many g@g users. Hardly surprising.

[Adventurer23]

For sure. Sadly, the anonymity of the internet allows people to say and do things they'd never get away with in public, because there are little to no repercussions for their actions. The internet enables and even rewards those behaviours, so it's a just a cesspool for people who chose to be that way. But this place has a higher concentration of those people than most sites it seems. lol

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I don't hate tattoos, and one time had a homemade tattoo.

[DummyThiccFeraligatr]

Because they're ugly. And 99% of the time they look even worse as a person ages.
