"Do you think my tattoo is cool?" No, I don't. There are no cool tattoos. "Check out my sleeve!" Oh god ew.

Tattoos themselves are stupid. Doubly so if it's some media IP. "I put Batman on my body!" "Look at this image of Goku on my calf!" I can't think of many things I'd want to do less than that.

There are a few narrow exceptions. Chances are yours isn't one of them.

If you personally like tattoos, fine. I'm not saying nobody should get tattoos because I don't like them. I'm stating my opinion that tattoos are stupid, and I am stating it here because it is probably not a popular opinion.

Maybe tattoos as a concept are bad (stabbing ink into your skin semi-permanently, that is), but the artistry and skill that can go into them is insanely respectable. Coming from someone who probably will never get a tattoo, I love seeing creative tattoos executed well.

For example: The humble pistol shrimp

    Shrimp pistol? As in little penis?

    Nicely drawn, but very strange tattoo to get.

    I realized just now that that picture looks completely fake because nothing in the background makes sense lol

    It's a screenshot from a ColdOnes video where they got randomly selected tattoos. Not ai generated, I promise!
