Tattoos are indicators of mental illness, lack of foresight and promiscous behaviour

[randombrah1]

There are indicators for everything in life. The problem with these studies is that it brings out the *******s who assume that everyone with tattoos is the same, that they are trashy and untrustworthy, or that they would be bad parents or unsuccessful.

Anyway, think about how many dumb fuks and sloots you know who don't have ink? I know a whole lot of them. This study is just dumb.

No, not everyone with tattoos is the same, but saying that the whole article is bs just cause it wont fit your criteria, thats actual bs.

I also know guys and girl who have tattoos and got them when they were living a ****ty situation or were just trying to be "rad". There is a difference on doing something when you are in a stable state of mind or doing it while having depression.

What about the girls and guys who get tattoos to "close cicles" or just to attention whore following a media fad?

[greekbrah91]

Got a sloot's lips tatted on my buttcheek crew. Can confirm, I was slutty behavior in college.

[syth1230]

This study is just dumb.

studies clearly say that there are associations and tendencies

I think you are the dumb one

[ANIMALISTIKZ]

Can beat everyone's ass in this thread. 15/10 wife. Multimillionaire. World famous. Successful at everything he's ever done. Has changed the lives of thousands of people for the better through his podcast. One the greatest conversationalist and social philosophers of our time.

Im going to take a wild guess and say you have a tattoo?

whos his wife btw?

[RiceBrah93]

I dont know a tatted up girl who isnt a slut

[Koop21]

Agree with most of the OP.

There are exceptions though...





Glad I wanted tattoos in high school but was over it by the time I was 18. Had a couple of piercings but you'd never know now... think it's more acceptable for men to have a lot of tattoos. I know a lot of girls with tattoos who are insane or unstable.



EDIT:
lol at people using celebrities (joe rogan above) to refute this article... I feel like they don't count. And if you listen to the jre you would know that Joe could fit a few of these descriptions in the OP.
He also didn't get those tats until he was what, 40something?

[yoCasmu]

Yeah im a slut.

Bish so what?

[Roody12]

Brah you weigh a buck fifty, you're not a Ferrari, you're a Fiat.

Get what you're saying ... But Ferrari's are Fiats (Fiat owns ferrari).

Nevertheless I would never ever get a tattoo. I'm really indecisive and change my mind quickly, wouldn't be able to handle something permanently on my body...

[kevin1645]

Generalizations (even those backed up with evidence) tend to make people defensive, especially when they don't feel they fit the generalization. I have a tattoo, and I definitely do not fit any of the behaviors correlated with tattoos, so it bothers me somewhat when I'm lumped in with the rest.

[randombrah1]

Go bang your uncle.

If you thought about it, wouldnt you been aware that people would associate you with the rest of people who has tattoos?

This mechanism is for survival. But who was foresight?

Fine just for you I'll actually contribute.

See, I used to skateboard, whats the stereotype skateboarders get? drug addicts, mentally sick *******, and more. And I can confirm FIRST hand that said stereotypes are true, personally, not all of these threads described me but im pretty sure I was dealing with depression at that point (wasnt aware then but recently). Long story short, being aware of said personality traits to avoid getting fuked over is KEY.

I'll agree here. From growing up skating and getting older all the people I knew who were real into skating all got into drugs and became worthless. Of course a few here and there slipped through and made it (myself and my group of friends mainly).

I have also seen LOTS of people get tattoos after joining the military. Of the four bases ive been on so far there has been a tattoo parlor right outside the main gates of the base. Every week at work I see someone popping up with new ink. Some of them are the worst tattoos i've ever seen. One guy even got Thor's hammer on his penis. (serious)

However when I got both of my tattoos I was not in a depressed state or anything. I wanted to get the ink. I wanted to have something on my body that means something to me and a few of my peers. I will mention that placement of the tattoo is a huge decision for people. I have mine on places I can cover easily. Since I am an office worker I don't see my self ever being outside of a suit or a shirt.

Would you say that not all people who have ink are mentally deranged? I would say 60-70% have some form of issues. I may be shooting that number a little low.

It's a kneejerk reaction. Since I'm lazy, I'm just going to quote myself from that other tattoo thread about women you posted in response to another guy, who I will be repping on recharge:

You serious? How many lawyers, doctors, CEO's and high prestige jobholders do you see wearing shorts or short sleeved shorts? As long as they're covered, it won't be a problem. You could work somewhere for years without anyone knowing you have a tattoo unless it's somewhere stupid like on the neck or face.

My intent is to be a researching professor at a university and I have a 3/4 sleeve. I almost exclusively (excluding workouts) wear long-sleeved shirts or button downs with the sleeves rolled up, and nobody knows. Also, I have never done an illegal drug in my life nor have any mental illnesses.


Edit: I do, however, respect your personal dislike for them from aesthetic standpoint and agree with you on the stretched ears: gross.

I am and was aware of the negative connotations associated with tattoos, but being able to cover it up, being introverted, and being very selective when it comes to my social circle makes the impact of having a tattoo negligible.

[Angra_Mainyu]

scars are a mans tattoo

If its a consolation a tattoo for most people i know is on an individual basis.

A poor, uneducated person with a tattoo = typical, not a surprise

A rich, educated person with a tattoo = character, rough around the edges

No Michael Scofield no care

99 percent of tattoos look stupid anyways

A lot of people have issues, some get on dat dere self improvement, so things get better and we dont get stuck on the same ****ty cicle but sadly, most dont.

And in these cases, the traits you should be aware of, arent as easy to spot as tattoos. Though, sometimes is good to give the benefit of the doubt, but given, 90% of times, the stereotype wont be wrong.

Glad things are working out for you brah. There are exceptions, maybe you are telling us the truth and you are "healthy" but tbh, there is the posibility that you might be ignoring something. Even if its just a shade of low self steem that could lead to depression.

[DragonFireBrah]

For anyone who has traveled abroad to a healthy society based around nuclear families, the only people who have tattoos are criminals and roadside prostitutes.

Yet it seems that 70% of American women have them, go figure

If I remember right you said you were going to the Air Force? Don't worry, you won't need tattoos to be promiscuous, it will just happen.

What you are saying about Rogan makes no sense. If you listen to his podcast you could easily see that his state of mind is much more peaceful and mature than any retard on the misc. With that said, he was in a very clear headed place when he got his tats. Why would it matter how old he is? Also, why does using celebrities not count? Obviously people are using celebrities as an easy and quick way to give an example, a person that everyone is familiar with.

Oddly, I have very little experience with tattooed individuals, so I guess my own perception is based off of myself. They generally seem to be either eccentric and artistic or "uneducated" and just got a dumb tattoo that they try to justify i.e. names, lyrics, symbols. I think if someone puts a good deal of thought into what they're doing and spend a reasonable amount of time finding the right artist who understands what is desired, then a tattoo should not be looked down upon.

Eh, to my knowledge, I am being honest. However, I will acknowledge that the majority of people have a thing or two that bothers them that could lead to depression. It's a common accusation that all "bodybuilders" have some sort of self esteem issue.

Yeah, and that one is also true. doesnt necesarily need to fit you, but can fit practically 99% of people at the gym. Dont need to get defensive about it.

Brb "you lifting that? lol you weak *******"
brb "I lift more than you"
brb "I used to lift 2 plates but then got injured"

I could say that I bodybuild, and can confirm you that this happens on the daily. My mind gets blown when some guy tells me things like "I have a lot of haters here", when I dont think that anybody gives a fuk about hating someone else. But oh well, happens brah.

Depressed people do lots of things. I would guess that the majority of them never get a tattoo. What you are trying to suggest is that people more often get tattoos because of mental illness, and I'm saying that is complete nonsense. This article is horse**** because it is an article that WANTS something to be true.

studies clearly say that there are associations and tendencies

I think you are the dumb one

It suggest that there are. You are a fuking moron. Ancient Aliens on History channel suggest that Aliens built the Pyramids.

So much real life. These people either quit lifting or stick around long enough to realize how stupid they used to act/think. Weightlifting wisdom, as it were.


You're a reasonable fellow. I have no quarrel with you and accept the evidence you provided as valid support for your argument/position,.

Necessity to be right, check
Trying to show how everyone else is wrong while providing no sources nor evidence, check

You got your tattoos as a way to show the world how special you are?

Its funny how you are tying to prove wrong, single handlely, a riviewed article backed up by studies.
Again, why so defensive brah? Its like this struck an emotional nerve on you...

[anonymous]

I guess that makes me a total mansloot. I've got a tattoo. It used to be a Grim Reaper holding a burning heart and laughing evilly, now it looks like a flying monkey from the Wizard of Oz.

[AniMaLizTik]

cool studies srs. bottom line is, Unless you are really uptight and a control freak, tats dont really matter that much. it's just a tat. The reason whores and dirtbags gravitate towards the tatted look is because is a common way to tell society "hey fuk u, im a rebel!!"

That's not the case these days and many people use tats as a means of expressing a belief, honoring loved ones, or just as an artistic medium.

The issue most people are having with the studies is that words like "tendancies" and "associations" makes the latter feel grouped with the scum.
