Not having tattoos

[paulwest1985]

No tats gang checking in. I'm 38 now, but I never had any desire to get a tattoo. I can definitely appreciate how they look good on some people (espicially the women ) but I never thought they would look good on me. All 3 of my ex's had tats tho.

I always wanted to get one but never did. Now at 40+ my wife wants to get matching tats......

No tats.

Closest I came was in my late 20s. It would have been some pop culture thing - a Simpsons character, Jumpman, Mickey ears or some other Disney thing. Then wanted to go cultural and do a hindu god or maybe some writing in another language or a flag. After I had kids I was thinking of getting their names but.. what if they grow up to be serial killers? Any type of symbolic thing I can get a t-shirt.

I think I'd look good with two full sleeves but that's a lot of commitment just for an aesthetic this late in the game. These days any type of pain I endure to modify my body happens in the gym.

I did pierce my ear in 8th grade with a large safety pin to wear an earing. I might do that again but no tats.

No tats here. 37 y/o.

Went to get a tat at 16. Heard the “buzz” of the needle, “zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz” and I said nah. I’m good. Got a pair of Jordan 1s instead.

Glad I never got it and I’m an artist myself. I can draw and paint really well. They just never appealed to me much more afterwards. Some cool
To look at, some not.

And tattoos just like speeding in a car is a rich man’s sport. Dudes be having $50-100 budget wanting extravagant tattoos.

Nah, good to great tattoos cost $500-1000+ dollars and I’d rather spend that on something else

The only time a needle will hit my skin is if it's an emergency.

No tats either. When I was younger I considered it. Now that's I'm older I'm not paying someone to draw on me.

Jewelry for me.

No tats. I remember early in life Bering told it can disqualified you from certain jobs.

Back in 07 l knew that tattoo removal would be a billion dollar business. Tons of people are getting their tats removed. One of my main issues with them is how they fade drastically over time and just looks like smudge. Obviously it doesn't happen to everyone, but majority it does.

No offense to anyone i just think they look awful. When I see a beautiful woman and then she’s tatted up it looks turrible to me. Never seen a person guy or girl and thought they loook better with a tattoo than without one.

Always wanted one but probably a terrible reason but I’m just not a big fan of pain so it’s not worth it to me.

Yeah, I get turned off once I spot tats all over them. I don’t even care how fine or cute they might be. Feels like I’ll be greeted with the unpleasant aroma of cigarettes.

Same with long hair on guys or just certain hair styles in general.


It's funny seeing certain Gen X and millennials parroting the same boomer/silent generation nonsense that was said to them grown up.
