re: You Agree There's a Direct Correlation Between Tattoos and Mental Instability

Every person I ever met that had tats had issues Some got a tat while greatly under the influence of something when they got theirs. These people had issues which is why they were greatly under the influence. Some people get over their underlying "issues", but the tat remains. I used to think that people who went out and drank a lot did it for fun. As I grew older I discovered that everyone of the people I knew that drank too much had deep wounds. As I got to know them better they revealed their pain that lead them to excessive drinking. People who get tats are very similar, and often have gotten the tat while drunk.
Knew a girl that had very little money. she spent over $100 on a tat for her b-day. Poor decision since she could not afford it. She had major issues. No telling how many she would get if she had more cash.

Would you agree that there are people who drink and have all kinds of issues, who don't have tattoos?

And does everyone with tattoos drink or have had tattoos?

What about piercings?

This is kind of like asking cancer patients if they ever ate an apple.. And they all say yes then coming to the conclusion that eating apples must cause cancer.

People get tattoos for different reasons, one of them, is because they get drunk and do something "crazy", but there are also people with tattoos who doesn't drink or might drink, but it's not a problem for them.

A person who is happy with themselves and content with who they are do not need to make a"statement" with a tat.

Disagree. So what if a married couple decides to get a tattooed wedding ring instead of a real ring, as a symbol their love is forever? That's kinda gay, but to them it has a special meaning.

Why would a person get a tat at all?

---

Multiple reasons. As I stated one in this thread, my next door neighbor has one of his daughter, who passed away. It's a symbol that she is with him forever. Also see about about the ring thing.

My opinion based on observation is that a woman's skin color is far more sexy than any ink or art. There is no comparison. Other people may have a different opinion. This is my preference.

Your preference does not make you an expert.

I think her tats make her even hotter.



And they are easily able to be covered up if needed.

If a person has a tat it is probably a result of internal wounds which need to be healed. These people are not "trash".

Something we agree on.. Because there are a lot of trash that doesn't have tattoos.
