    I guess it just comes down to your own personal opinion on them , cuz I know a lot of people that have tatts that don’t look scary at all , so I guess it comes down to your personal opinion on them is my guess. I have 2 tatts and no one ever told me I looked scary, unless they did behind my back lol why you shouldn’t really judge a book by its cover. Tattoos are primarily an art or they can be a symbol of that individuals’ personality or something that is important to them or something that represents them , depending on what kind of tatts they have , some people go overboard with them , and some don’t , so you either like them or don’t like them. But I never judge someone based off of their tatts , they might look ugly on them or the artist that did their tatt , did a shitty job , but it still doesn’t define who they are as a person. So it just comes down to your own person preference and opinion on them.

    That's your perception.

    I see a bunch of tattoos and I see an abuse victim.

    I mean think about this🤔

    I'm a sex-addict and an alcoholic... I give money to people to fuck and to drink.

    Now let's look at our tatted up fellow people here... they give money for what? A cool message, a cool picture. That's fine. But it doesn't stop. I'm just saying they pay people to poke them with a needle over and over for hours. Respect to those that go through that just to look cool, even though I don't respect that either, but I'm looking at those that pay money just to be harmed.

    So my perception... Oh, you like to get hurt and want to look cool. How emo of you.

    And yeah I have no tattoos... I just like to get drunk and fuck women. We all have our thing.

    Depends on the type of tattoos, the color of the tattoos, how many tattoos and where on the body these tattoos are.

    some people don’t look scary and just look stupid.
    but you are right that many DO look scary. Perhaps because it’s associated with gangsters and gangsters do bad things and kill.

    that all depends on the tattoo. is someone with a few hello kitty tattoos still scary to you?

    but even then, tattoos don't make people look scary. there are ton of "normal" looking people that are scary. i mean, some of the most famous serial killers didn't even have tattoos

  • Tattoos themselves don’t inherently make people look scary; it often depends on individual perceptions and societal attitudes toward body art. Some might associate tattoos with certain stereotypes or subcultures, which can influence their views. However, many people see tattoos as beautiful, meaningful, and personal expressions. It really comes down to personal taste and cultural context. Do you have any tattoos or thinking of getting one?

    I am sorry I scare you... I really don't mean to. Believe me, once you get to know me I am really not that bad. I've got flaws, just like anyone else, but I am not a bad or scary person

    I think it depends on how many, where and what kind

    I suppose the needle process has something to do with it. Like a scar that is permanent, like I got this bike riding
    It's a battle scar or something

    But I know plenty of people with tattoos that are really softies in a good way

    Nobody has accused me of looking scary with the bright hot pink and baby blue Playboy bunnies on my arms. My tattoos, however, have caused disgust, disappointment and second hand embarrassment, along with an occasional laugh.

    Work from home and earn a respectable $60k a week, which is amazing considering that a year ago I was unemployed in a terrible economy. I always give God praise for honouring me with these rules, and now it’s my duty to practise anticipatory compassion and share it with everyone. Likewise, GOOD LUCK.

    Scary? Try asking them about their art. Even prison people go soft if you show interest and respect to their ink. You'd be surprised what you find if you stopped judging books by covers.

    Cuz its not your jam. Although I have to say many people pick out tattoos that are just awful in either subject matter or execution by the artist. And and I know that color cost more but JFC save your money and do it right!!

      Colours is something I try to keep to a minimum because I feel if you have to many colourful, random, pictures it looks rather messy and chaotic.

      The only colour I will have is in the pictures of the females I have or will have. I've got a red haired Dark Angel which covers my lower back; I will have a Mexican Lady with Day of the Dead painting; and because I am a Skinhead I would like to have a nice drawing of a 'Skin Girl'.

      I might go for a Red Rose/ Skull picture too. The rest of my body will be covered in the same 'Tribal Motif' as I have on the Right side of my body.

      So While I will most certainly be, as good, as, fully covered... I am looking for some consistency and try to keep it mainly to Black only (which will then bring out the few female pictures better).

    Too much of it shows that person is possibly deranged or is astrally imprinted. This person is not of her autonomy. They're influenced by lower spirits that makes the person feed on their lower desires, sex, drugs and over eating

    Depends on generation, gen x and boomers with tats are hardened criminals.

    Millennials and gen z on the other hand, are dough boys - most who get them wear patagonia, rock a man bun, have guages and eat granola.

    Probably because violent criminals have tattoos at a rate that's disproportionately greater than the non-violent criminal population.

    I don't believe that God intended for people to sport tattoos on their bodies. And for people who understand this, tattoos inherently look "scary" or at least unnatural

      Just because someone has tattoos doesn’t make them automatically scarier. And someone without tattoos doesn’t automatically make them seem nicer.

      @OhLongJohnsoning well, i don't know. I'm just saying, I think that tattoos Do make someone look scary, more serious. Might just be the guys I've known that had tattoos, they are trouble makers. So, when I see someone with tattoos I might just see that. But I also think that guys with them look hot. I can be scared of them, bc like I said the ones I knew were trouble makers, and serious, but still like them and think they're hot.
