All Men should have at least one tattoo.

[DeBaie]

In today's segment of All Men, we discuss having a tattoo.


Men that have a tattoo, why do you have one?


Men that don't have a tattoo, why dont you have one?


Personally, I have always wanted a tattoo. That said, I do not have one. It's not that I do not want one, I just have never thought of something that truly is something I would want forver. To me a tattoo defines your being; who you are. I guess I just haven't found that yet..



Yesterday's All Men category - All Men should ride a motorcycle - http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=153718241

I wanted one but realized if I want to look special nowadays I should keep clean. Literally everyone has a tattoo..

I wanted this on the side of my chest, never figured which side lol.

I have a kinda cliche one on my back (still meaningful) and i do like it. I decided my next one was going to be a legitimate piece of art done by a reputable, nationally recognized artist....no local artist. Half sleeve most likely.

I honestly just like the way good tattoos look. If you have a well done tattoo with meaning, thats a big plus.

But to each their own.

WOW BRO. I just google'd "lone wolf tattoo" as I always wanted something that incorporated a wolf, lion, or something...

[MattySinz]

I don't want to share something in common with 16 year old
Girls and old men going through midlife crises so no tattoos for me.
Would have gotten a few 15-20 years ago

Couldnt have put it better myself...

When people IRL counter with "It has meaning" I say "So do my 16.5 arms, they are symbolic of my desire to be aesthetic"

[Forumite]

I have a few on my upper arm, all have to do with my daughter. Her name on the inside of my tri and her birthdate on the back.

You would have gotten one when you were 6?

[Hmzone]

It's an opinion question.

For me tattoos mean " i love sucking cock"

[Lamborg]

It would hinder my small chances of winning Mr Olympia SRS

[DeBaie]

Nowadays tattoos are for hipsters, *******s and girls.

I wouldn't say that bro. I'd assume the ratio to "meaningful" tattoos to "hipster" tattoos is very bad nonetheless.

Any pics brah?
That's the thing people DO need to respect about peoples tattoos. What means everything to someone, may be bertstare to someone else.

[RetardedNinja]

No one has a say on what should be on my body.

[Alchem]

Because it's forbidden in my religion, plus I find it to be a trying too hard to be cool and get attention thing, that the chit i dont like.

[tnel00]

always wanted a wolf or lion tattoo also

[cklol]

This trend will die soon.

[quelopario]

honestly I'm not feeling tattoos too much.

some look good and all but it makes me think about when I had long ass dreads and I thought I'd keep them forever (which some people do) and then after 3 years I kinda grew out of it and cut them off.

I think a tattoo would get old even quicker for me.

[Brosynthesis]

I don't have a tattoo cause I never wanted one.



But I'll get a tattoo of your name on my left testicle OP.

[surf junkie]

Don't care one way or the other. Can't guarantee I'll never get one, but zero motivation to get one at the moment. Just don't care. Am a practical guy and don't try to seek attention due to not caring about people's opinions on what i do/have.

Still, may come a day when I want one. And then I'll get it.

You on that underage tattooing time?


Also, I know what I would get if I did, it'd be a simple 7-star tattoo that would represent where I was born and where I came from and how the country's flag has changed (has 8 stars now) as a symbol of corruption, and that it is no longer my home.

I'm honestly just waiting till I'm older even though I've been thinking about this tat since I was like 15

[jonnyninetails]

I ride a motorbike and got a tattoo.

Official badass over here!

[Thenameistom]

Just one small one on my left shoulder blade with text in Latin. Nothing flashy, most people don't know I have one.

[purpletentacle]

I don't have one because I consider them to be a colossal waste of money.

I would get one done if it was a freebie though

[Auxe]

Getting quotes for a half sleeve in the 2k area. Planned this for years, down the the exact dimensions and quotes

[DeBaie]

Not a single tattoo pic was seen...

Here's my attempt at a tattoo that I consider awesome (if there was meaning behind it)... I would prefer a wolf though. The ones I searched were very bad haha

[RunLight]

Told myself that I'd get a tattoo whenever I was happy with where I'm at.

I'm never happy with where I'm at.

Unfortunately not, but its a military themed cross w/dogtags and the initials of all the servicemen in my family (I'm next in line). It meant a lot to those in the tattoo but at the same time the cross itself is cliche. I don't regret it and look forward to my next one.

[T3hGiggles]

Saving thread with my DDR tattoo. Pic is from my senior year of HS, when I first got it. It mainly symbolizes my desire to improve myself and ascend beyond my limits in all areas of life, but primarily fitness/lifting. Not to mention I was/am pretty damn good at the game, started when I was 10 and got to tournament level at 14, played locally and regionally for a few years then stopped basically after I got the tattoo.

Pretty much this

When Ed Hardy style blew up I found tattoos were going crazy and I haven't heard people even talk about them a tenth as much as they used to say 5 years ago..

Will rep on pic.

I ride a motorcycle, and as the OP says I do not have a tattoo.

[niiick]

As a tattoo brah (sleeve + more)...

Why should all men have tattoos?

Some brahs aren't into tattoos & that's cool, why should they get one? Let them be op
