I personally think they smell of vanity, attention and insecurity. Any guy who gets one to impress girls is WEAK!!
20 years and go and more , I guess having one made you stand out, but NOT anymore, since it seems like over 50% of guys,especially those under 35 have ATLEAST one.
I feel like I am in the MINORITY by not having any and that I STANDOUT.
However, since most women are STUPID, they probably find me BORING since I don't have any tattoos, piercings nor do I wear any type of jewelry (gold chain, watch, etc)
Any thoughts?
Not to mention how terrible tattoos will look when you are 70.
That's an opinion. A point of view. Probably a rather limited world view.
I think the real issue here is you and you're inner game.
Your post smacks of judgement. Why are you being judgmental is revealed in your post. You say that since most women are stupid, they probably find you boring since you don't have any tattoos. So there we go, the wonderful skill of "mind reading". You're imagining what these women are thinking about you and you are imagining that they are judging you as being boring because you don't have tattoos. So your post ends up being a manifestation of the judgement you feel towards you. A projection of your own judgement if you will. By the way, in CBT they call mind reading an "error in thinking".
"I had the ridiculous impression that they were all there to judge me. But now I think it was a false impression" Albert Camus, The Stranger.
Let's go further down the rabbit hole, shall we. You imply that guys with tattoos gives you the impression of vanity, attention an insecurity. This to me smells of shaming. Your feminine side is shaming men with tattoos by labelling them as vain, attention seekers and insecure. So really I must agree with
@Tictac that you should find your balls. Read up on masculinity and get in touch with your own masculinity. Read Robert Bly's Iron John and you'll find that he actually offers a different perspective on tattooing.
The insecurity thing, again I can't help but feel your projecting your own insecurity here. Would you consider Lionel Messi, the Barcelona and Argentina soccer player who has an amazing sleeve tattoo as insecure? What about David Beckham the former England captain and now involved in the Miami soccer franchise who's covered in tattoos? Insecure?
