This Sam Hobbitt has a typical loser attitude. Tattoos are essentially a hard-core adornment. Traditionally belonging to Mafia gangtars, Russian mobsters, Japanese Yakuza, Bikies, Sailors, etc, they denote bad-boy "I don't give a f*ck status" better than any other single accessory or trait.
I personally think tattoos lend archetypal power to wearers adorned by them. Millennia old ice men mummies are discovered with tattoos placed strategically over the top of acupuncture points on their bodies. If you were gonna weep for humanity, Sam Hobbit, maybe you should have done that 12,000 years ago when our ancestors were busy adorning themselves with kick-ass tattoos.
Your joking right? He has a loser attitude because of his observation that is by the way true?. I don't think so. If you changed that to WERE essentially a hard-core adornment you would be more correct.
Your whole post reminds me of these guys who get all these tats thinking it makes them look or seem tough when it does nothing of the sort. Getting a tattoo to show "your a badboy" isn't going to work except on young, impressionable people.
There is this guy who has started going out to clubs in my town, the first time I saw him he was dressed in all black with a biker mask thing they wear to keep themselves warm when riding in the club trying to be tough, he was telling all kinds of bull**** stories. Another week he was dressed all in camoflage saying he is in the army. Another week he was walking around in the cold in a singlet showing off his new tattoo on his arm.
Doesn't make him a badboy. I actually felt sorry for him because I feel somebody will have a go at him and he won't be able to do much about it.
Tatts only look badass when the person is already badass, with people getting them to seem 'cool' and such them showing somebody 'doesn't give a ****' does not apply at all. The reason they look intimidating on mob or yakuza guys is because the guys are already intimidating.
And I tend to avoid girls with alot of tattoos myself now, especially in certain places where i've learnt it shows they are a bit 'low brow'.
