If you know who David Bromstad is, he's not doing bad financially and he is covered in tats, lol! If you don't know who he is, Google him.

Whether he's doing well or not really doesn't matter. BTW, I happen to like him.

He once wore a wildly crazy print shirt and pants with his tats showing and it looked pretty awful. You almost couldn't tell where things started and ended.

IMO, It wasn't the least bit attractive. I was always under the impression that most people wanted to look attractive. Silly me.

I don't think that when someone finds tats to be repulsive that they're necessarily being judgemental. They just think they're disgusting.

🤣🤣🤣

Tattoos have been found on mummies dating back over 5000 years.

Thank you, and I hope you find your nickname soon-maybe "yr2kind" thanks again

I agree with all of you who said that some tatoos have meaning to the wearer. I think of the Jews who survived the Holocaust and had a symbol or number inked on their arms-now that's a meaningful message!!

Second verse, same as the first. Intolerance is never easy to read.

I don't care for them at all. The worst is a bride wearing a beautiful wedding gown with tattoos up and down her arms.

I didn't start getting tattoos till I was 60. I'm 70 now and have 6!

1. It was NOT all that painful!!! Epilating a bikini area, now THAT's painful! LOL

2. It was NOT expensive....Way less than my friends pay for those Foo Foo Coffee drinks.

3. It was NOT to get attention at all.

4. Ridiculous to claim they are an impulsive decision. You can't possibly make that statement NOT knowing the reasons behind anyone's decision.
My daughter is an artist and designed mine. We took almost 8 mos. before I had it done. Had a vision of something I wanted that had a deep, DEEP meaning to our family. There was PLENTY of thought behind it. I don't know anyone that just made a rash decision to get a tattoos.

5. I was beyond 'middle' age when I decided I wanted to get one. That was many years ago. I have aged like everyone else. However, it is located on the top of my wrist.
My skin does NOT sag there....nor does it wrinkle. It looks the same it did years ago...so the aging line is a myth if you get the tattoo in a good place on your body.

6. The posts using name calling such as repulsive, beauty killers, disgusting, etc.....are judgemental beyond words. I never judge people by their skin, decorated or not...NOR by their size, piercings, fashion choices etc.

7. You do not need to understand it.....if it isn't something you want, then no need to 'get' other's decisions.

8. I have been promoted 3x....tats and all. Imagine that.

This comes across as pretty defensive which reflects your own stuff, not others. Just sayin.

@ThinkingOutLoud

You are totally incorrect.

I am not defensive in the least.

I don't need to defend my choices to you or anyone else on this thread!

I don't regret my tats in the least.....simply calmly replied to the posts I felt didn't apply to me at all.

Many who have never had a tattoo are making comments I found to be totally false, making generalized statements with no knowledge.

Again, if you don't like them, don't get one.....but the posts using name calling such as repulsive, beauty killers, disgusting, etc.....are not necessary and just unkind.

To have a civil discussion about them, It would be nice to see adjectives not meant to insult.

Just because you can type nasty anonymously, doesn't mean you should! Be NICE.
