Tattoos and mental illness

[Aegon]

I don't give a fuck what people do to their bodies, but face tattoos look like shit on 90% of people who get them.

Oh, I agree. Some of them are hilarious though. Example:



Same, Post Malone. Same.

The only real correlation between tattoos and mental health seems to be that (unless you're Maori), getting your face tattooed is a pretty good indication that you're teetotal, fucknuts crazy.

Watch out. Face tattoos will be seen as relatively normal in the next 20-30 years. Between the amount of social influence that many hip hop artists have (who are the successful ones with face tats), and the gradual acceptance of tattoos in more visible places, I fully expect it to be just another place people get tattooed by the half-century.

It's cute that you think fads and fashion are enduring.



If you live long enough - you will hear the phrase. 

" dumb as your grandma' s tattoos".

It's cute that you think tattoos are a "fad," as if they haven't become more popular and simultaneously more socially acceptable every year since...1941?

Lol.

For sailors, bikers and inmates.

You didn't see mobs of teenaged girls hanging out at tat parlors in the 60s 70s or 80' s....

But lately it's " a thing".

Soon it will be passe.

Sorry you think otherwise.

But history shows it's a real safe bet that I'm right.

Face tattoos aren't an indication of being reckless or impulsive. They just mean you like art.

I'm gonna get one. Maybe two.
Cause I honestly can't imagine there being a single moment when I wouldn't want various drawings, doodles and scribble scrabble all over my face. That's how much I love art.

It's not about attention either. 

See, I need to have some combination of claw marks, Jack Sparrow, the word "Loyalty", and/or a series of tri-colored stars permanently etched onto my head in order to live my truth.

And they make gainful employment soooo much easier!

Pretty soon the greedy corporate tattoo equipment/ink suppliers will be handing out tattoos like candy and then everything will go to shit...wait, what were we talking about?

Apparently, this Russian chick essentially branded her entire face with boyfriend's name.

Do I think it's fair to think that there might be something a little "off "with her? Absolutely not.
She's in love and devoted to her man. It's fucking beautiful.



These photos are very inspiring. Next fella I'm in a relationship with, I'm gonna get his first name tattooed down the right side of my face, his last name down the left, and his middle initial on my nose.

Otherwise, how will he know I'm serious?

Wow...This guy really, really loves Murrica. 
And he really, really, really needs for everyone to know it...LOL! Jacket-weather must be a supreme let-down for this guy.

Oh well. In wintertime he probably just fills the need with bumper stickers until it warm up again.

I have an American flag tattoo. It's not quite that in-your-face, but it's definitely patriotic.

It's a shame what that girl did to her face. She's actually ruined something that looks like it was quite pretty.

You do realize what I bolded isn't actually in opposition to what I said...right?
