I'm having a bad day so perfect for this vent I've been meaning to express.

So you know how you walk around or drive around big cities and all you see decorating buildings and spaces are ads. Ads for cars, shoes, slogans, tv shows, clothing etc. And after being around that you feel a bit depleted...like fuck...info overload + shit i'm not even interested in. I need some quiet and peace so let's go to the suburbs or a vacation filled wiht nature etc. Point is these billboards are draining af.

Now.... thanks to witless folks, we walk around seeing personal ads on people's skin.... ads of who they are...just screaming NOTICE ME, LOOK WHAT I'm ABOUT! Tattoos of cartoons, slogans & quotes, symbols, "art", pictures of family, etc. After seeing enough of people with tattoos you feel a bit depleted... like fuck... info overload + shit I'm not even interested in. I don't know you and it would be really nice if I didnt see picture of your pet on your arm that probably passed away. I don't even know your name but now I know that you believe in this religious quote.

So all of you insensitive fucks who keep subjecting people to your inner world...fuck off.

This is the dumbest trend I've seen... just people everywhere with fucking ads on their skin. I went to the bank the other day and what I can only assume to be sisters or bffs, had matching sleeves... *puke* *cringe* *shivers*

I'm getting angrier as I type all of this out lol but it's so ridiculous.... *sigh*... I wonder if one day in the next 30-50 years folks will look back and be like, "people are dumb aren't they. These folks literally PAID money and tolerated PAIN to have permanent shit on their skin." LMAO.

Sorry tattoo lovers...I find the practice idiotic, useless, and not even interesting. Its just part of our "attention-seeking" society that we're building. Less time actually getting to know people but random info thrown at you.

Have I ever wanted to get a tattoo?? Suuuure, but then again I've also wanted to do many other dumb things and something called common sense kicks in and is like... that's not a good idea. Let's just do something you know... *not* so permanent and painful. I don't know... like buy a new pair of shoes or a t-shirt with a fav quote as a form of individual expression. Or may be put up a poster in your room.... I don't know I'm sure there are many ways for self-expression.

I find this a very odd thing to be mad about.


Thank you. I wasn’t sure what my opinion was after reading this.

I remember reading everything on nail polish bottles while on the toilet while a child...I just read everything h...never had a problem with that.

And yes! I HATE(d) tattoos!!! With passion!

Now when my BFF has them - I kind of find it sexy. But he is an artsy kind so...it’s weird on executives. 😂😂

yes!! Tattoos can be and are sexy... and it's never a problem with one person. Like if my bf or friend got one, I wouldn't hate it. But when EVERYONE is doing it and you just walk around minding your own business but all you see is tid bits of info on their skin it just gets annoying and is info overload.

It's just becoming too mainstream.

I’m getting my first tattoo sometime this year. Just have to narrow down what. It’ll be two sacred geometry symbols. One on the base of my neck and the other on my sternum, near my heart.

I don’t have an issue with anyone’s tattoos. But some people worry me about them. To inscribe something permanently onto your skin is to invite that energy/concept into your life continually. Especially pertaining to the part of the body it’s inscribed on. That why tattoos used to be reserved to warriors and spiritual classes.

Had an ex inscribe on his heart a verse to keep god in his heart always. Right after he did that he became a coke addict, for several dui’s and has since had a string of misfortune. He never saw the correlation. Like dude, you were living a shit self absorbed life and then invited the power of the universe into you’re body, permanently. It won’t tolerate you living for menial reasons. Things will continue to implode till you initiate change.

He said I think to much lol. 🤷🏼‍♀️


Yeah... i understand the warrior and spiritual classes. It is done to represent something with meaning.

My main issue is how mainstream it has become and you just end up seeing the most ridiculous shit on people's skin. If it was one offs, it would be one hting but it's become so prevalent it's unavoidable.

I definitely agree with what you're saying regarding the energy that you invite when you make permanent marks on your skin.

We as human beings are constantly evolving and even de-evolving. We are on a journey that we don't know where it will take us. So I don't see the point of permanently marking yourself with things that you have no clue what will mean tomorrow.

Everything in nature, even our skin cells, are in cycles... it shows the birth and rebirth constantly so why chain yourself to ideas, values, etc when you don't know what tomorrow brings.

I think the most alarming trend for me lately is that of other people thinking it is okay to tell people what to do with their own bodies.

Is this a Pluto thing? I don't know....but pretty soon it will be impossible to do anything without consent from someone who feels their opinions are important.




That's a very AMERICAN aka Individualistic view point. There is value in thinking more collectively at times because what we do as individuals does shape our environment and society which affect other people. So you might want to pretend you're a little island to do whatever you want but reality is that we are heavily tied to other people and our community. This is the reason humans have progressed as far as they have because of our innate need for community and passing on values/knowledge from one generation to the next.

Yes you're marking YOUR body but now everyone else has to look at doodles of Snoopy everywhere you go.

Tattoo-free since 1979.

My mind changes too much for something so permanent.


Our life changes too much for something so permanent too. Also tattoo free since 1988 lol 🙂

Before it was rare to find someone with tattoos, now it's rare to find someone without them. So when I find someone without tattoos I admire that they haven't jumped on this bandwagon lol.

You: "I hate ads, and tattoos are kinda like ads, but more attention seeking. Information overload! I feel depleted."

Also you: "I think I'll go buy a shirt to practice self expression."


lol it was just a suggestion of lesser of the two evils because at least it's not permanent. Personally, I don't like to wear any clothing with quotes or even brand labels.

Do they though?

I don't have tattoos, never had the urge.

I don't pay attention to them either. What you do to your body is none of my business.

This is getting out of control....

Don't get tattoos.

Don't eat gluten.

Don't drink cow's milk.

Don't smoke.

Don't drink.

Don't take birth control.

Don't have an abortion.

When individuals impose such rules on others based on personal opinion and not logic....it isnt a community anymore, it is a dictatorship.

That spiraled quickly. Also, note I never said "DON'T" like it's against the law. If I had the power I wouldn't make it a law either but I am voicing my personal distaste for tattoos becoming so mainstream.

But let's say suddenly majority of the people start wearing t-shirts with quotes then yes I'll be making a thread about that too.

I hate our clout culture... just screaming for attention but not attention like having good style (that's positive) but more of look what i'm about, look at what I like... it's like no one gives a fuck.

It's so weird how you personalize my posts and resort to insults. Caps are supposed to be better than that.

Have a great day, Fake Nice!

I wish you many many accidental glimpses of snoopy tattoos.

No I don't personalize your posts. I was equally responding on ideas until you say dumb shit like " didn't you...." when it's not true. It's annoying to filter through people's bs but like I said people on this site have a higher priority to play a clown so they can be amusing/entertaining to others.

Once again, another great amusing post from you. Good work.

I definitely agree with what you're saying regarding the energy that you invite when you make permanent marks on your skin.


When you look at it tho, it’s a selection of younger gen x and millennials this has become prevalent for. Both generations share baby boomers as parents. (Mostly, a few youngner millennials have gen x parents for gen x parents that had kids 16-22)

The reason they highlight tattoos, is expression, embodying their personal ideals. Baby boomers are notorious for struggling with expressing themselves, especially in more intimate or family settings, particularly with recognizing emotions or ideas. So it’s fitting that it becomes commonplace for their children’s generation to literally wear their feeling and ideas on their sleeves. It’s their conciousness’ reaction to needing to be recognized and cultivated. Taking things that are more intimate and making them external, visible and open.

It’s really interesting in that regard to me. And I’ve met plenty people that have stories of tattoos they regret and got impulsively. And even more stories where they don’t regret the tattoos so much as think they’re silly and wonder why they got that when older. But that reminder is good cause it shows growth. It shows development. And it’s a lot harder to rewrite your personal history when you have emblems to a certain time in your life on your body.

Idk I’m just rambling now. Lol
click to expand



haha no you're not just rambling. That actually made a lot of sense and in a weird way did eases my annoyance with it. I'm a typical Capricorn so I just assumed people are jumping on the tattoo bandwagon because they're dumb and impractical. The way you explained it I'm having more sympathy for them that it is an outward cry...

I've always been annoyed with how some people so openly express intimate emotions/ideas and I end up thinking, "Hey, I'm not interested. I didn't ask." I think that comes from my own method of being more like the baby boomers and withholding expression or intimate feelings.

I really enjoyed your post, thank you.

So what do you hope to achieve with your sacred geometry symbols?

Doesn't matter though, you change your stance on things constantly and probably hid the post anyways.

At least you are consistent in your dislike for me. Good job! Gold Star!

I'm having a bad day so perfect for this vent I've been meaning to express.

So you know how you walk around or drive around big cities and all you see decorating buildings and spaces are ads. Ads for cars, shoes, slogans, tv shows, clothing etc. And after being around that you feel a bit depleted...like fuck...info overload + shit i'm not even interested in. I need some quiet and peace so let's go to the suburbs or a vacation filled wiht nature etc. Point is these billboards are draining af.

Now.... thanks to witless folks, we walk around seeing personal ads on people's skin.... ads of who they are...just screaming NOTICE ME, LOOK WHAT I'm ABOUT! Tattoos of cartoons, slogans & quotes, symbols, "art", pictures of family, etc. After seeing enough of people with tattoos you feel a bit depleted... like fuck... info overload + shit I'm not even interested in. I don't know you and it would be really nice if I didnt see picture of your pet on your arm that probably passed away. I don't even know your name but now I know that you believe in this religious quote.

So all of you insensitive fucks who keep subjecting people to your inner world...fuck off.

This is the dumbest trend I've seen... just people everywhere with fucking ads on their skin. I went to the bank the other day and what I can only assume to be sisters or bffs, had matching sleeves... *puke* *cringe* *shivers*

I'm getting angrier as I type all of this out lol but it's so ridiculous.... *sigh*... I wonder if one day in the next 30-50 years folks will look back and be like, "people are dumb aren't they. These folks literally PAID money and tolerated PAIN to have permanent shit on their skin." LMAO.

Sorry tattoo lovers...I find the practice idiotic, useless, and not even interesting. Its just part of our "attention-seeking" society that we're building. Less time actually getting to know people but random info thrown at you.

Have I ever wanted to get a tattoo?? Suuuure, but then again I've also wanted to do many other dumb things and something called common sense kicks in and is like... that's not a good idea. Let's just do something you know... *not* so permanent and painful. I don't know... like buy a new pair of shoes or a t-shirt with a fav quote as a form of individual expression. Or may be put up a poster in your room.... I don't know I'm sure there are many ways for self-expression.




Really? Wow.

Getting a tattoo is a personal experience and not about telling the world anything. It is for yourself. Your observing them brings it to you, nothing else.

Yeah.... people say it's personal but I think a private journal is more personal. If someone else can easily see it, I don't think that makes it personal at all. I suppose I understand if it's in hidden areas...

It doesn't bother me....it's an art form I guess?

The incessant duck face selfies makes me cringe and people's burning desire to share every element of their lives on social media, especially images of their meals.......who cares?



🙄




agree with that too... I suppose that's how I feel about people's tattoos...Like i just don't care to see it but people walk around and I'm forced to see it. At least with social media you can unfollow or mute.

The dumbest trend is ppl following other ppl's fake lives just to get depressed and hate life. lol


you mean on social media?


Yep


Good one... its funny that some people don't realize how fake those people's social media life is.


Didn't you create a thread a few weeks ago asking about how to become an influencer?


No lol you're an idiot.


It's so weird how you personalize my posts and resort to insults. Caps are supposed to be better than that.

Have a great day, Fake Nice!

I wish you many many accidental glimpses of snoopy tattoos.




No I don't personalize your posts. I was equally responding on ideas until you say dumb shit like " didn't you...." when it's not true. It's annoying to filter through people's bs but like I said people on this site have a higher priority to play a clown so they can be amusing/entertaining to others.

Once again, another great amusing post from you. Good work.


I'm pretty sure I read that because I remember rolling my eyes because it is very typical of you.

Doesn't matter though, you change your stance on things constantly and probably hid the post anyways.

At least you are consistent in your dislike for me. Good job! Gold Star!

Yeah remembering something out of context... just like I'm rolling my eyes at your posts.

Change is good... it means growth. Wouldn't hurt you... because you're the same exact person when I first joined dxp. Just shady overall.

In Big Brother you said it's your reputation to be a villain but reputation follows character....

It doesn't bother me....it's an art form I guess?

The incessant duck face selfies makes me cringe and people's burning desire to share every element of their lives on social media, especially images of their meals.......who cares?



🙄




agree with that too... I suppose that's how I feel about people's tattoos...Like i just don't care to see it but people walk around and I'm forced to see it. At least with social media you can unfollow or mute.

I'm having a bad day so perfect for this vent I've been meaning to express.

So you know how you walk around or drive around big cities and all you see decorating buildings and spaces are ads. Ads for cars, shoes, slogans, tv shows, clothing etc. And after being around that you feel a bit depleted...like fuck...info overload + shit i'm not even interested in. I need some quiet and peace so let's go to the suburbs or a vacation filled wiht nature etc. Point is these billboards are draining af.

Now.... thanks to witless folks, we walk around seeing personal ads on people's skin.... ads of who they are...just screaming NOTICE ME, LOOK WHAT I'm ABOUT! Tattoos of cartoons, slogans & quotes, symbols, "art", pictures of family, etc. After seeing enough of people with tattoos you feel a bit depleted... like fuck... info overload + shit I'm not even interested in. I don't know you and it would be really nice if I didnt see picture of your pet on your arm that probably passed away. I don't even know your name but now I know that you believe in this religious quote.

So all of you insensitive fucks who keep subjecting people to your inner world...fuck off.

This is the dumbest trend I've seen... just people everywhere with fucking ads on their skin. I went to the bank the other day and what I can only assume to be sisters or bffs, had matching sleeves... *puke* *cringe* *shivers*

I'm getting angrier as I type all of this out lol but it's so ridiculous.... *sigh*... I wonder if one day in the next 30-50 years folks will look back and be like, "people are dumb aren't they. These folks literally PAID money and tolerated PAIN to have permanent shit on their skin." LMAO.

Sorry tattoo lovers...I find the practice idiotic, useless, and not even interesting. Its just part of our "attention-seeking" society that we're building. Less time actually getting to know people but random info thrown at you.

Have I ever wanted to get a tattoo?? Suuuure, but then again I've also wanted to do many other dumb things and something called common sense kicks in and is like... that's not a good idea. Let's just do something you know... *not* so permanent and painful. I don't know... like buy a new pair of shoes or a t-shirt with a fav quote as a form of individual expression. Or may be put up a poster in your room.... I don't know I'm sure there are many ways for self-expression.




Really? Wow.

Getting a tattoo is a personal experience and not about telling the world anything. It is for yourself. Your observing them brings it to you, nothing else.


Yeah.... people say it's personal but I think a private journal is more personal. If someone else can easily see it, I don't think that makes it personal at all. I suppose I understand if it's in hidden areas...


That is you telling the world/people how they should be. People have choices & opinions that may be different than yours. Just cuz you don’t understand it doesn’t make it not valid.

Mine are hidden but it is the same if they aren’t. They get to deal with the way the world views them. It is not their responsibility to make you comfortable.

Hhmm brings a good question: whose responsibility is it then to make people around them feel comfortable?

hmmmm, I get that you may not like what is happening - but the above makes sense too - it's not anyone's individual responsibility to be a certain way in order for other people to feel comfortable around them - you can't please everyone - and we have individual rights - wouldn't it be your responsibility just to be comfortable no matter what

It is your responsibility to make yourself feel comfortable or face the things that make you feel uncomfortable. Growth is outside your comfort zone. So the real question is why does other people’s tattoos make you uncomfortable when they have nothing to do with you?

I have to see it and process it. I don't want to know things about these random people on the street.

Similarly, what about good hygiene? Or good etiquette in clothing choices?

I know these are foreign values in North America but in other places, people do consider how they will affect others in their outward expression?

Even something as simple as clothing choice is being considerate to those around you. I understand this is completely a weird value in North America because in North America we are taught individualism and autonomy is important than the collective.

I'm having a bad day so perfect for this vent I've been meaning to express.

So you know how you walk around or drive around big cities and all you see decorating buildings and spaces are ads. Ads for cars, shoes, slogans, tv shows, clothing etc. And after being around that you feel a bit depleted...like fuck...info overload + shit i'm not even interested in. I need some quiet and peace so let's go to the suburbs or a vacation filled wiht nature etc. Point is these billboards are draining af.

Now.... thanks to witless folks, we walk around seeing personal ads on people's skin.... ads of who they are...just screaming NOTICE ME, LOOK WHAT I'm ABOUT! Tattoos of cartoons, slogans & quotes, symbols, "art", pictures of family, etc. After seeing enough of people with tattoos you feel a bit depleted... like fuck... info overload + shit I'm not even interested in. I don't know you and it would be really nice if I didnt see picture of your pet on your arm that probably passed away. I don't even know your name but now I know that you believe in this religious quote.

So all of you insensitive fucks who keep subjecting people to your inner world...fuck off.

This is the dumbest trend I've seen... just people everywhere with fucking ads on their skin. I went to the bank the other day and what I can only assume to be sisters or bffs, had matching sleeves... *puke* *cringe* *shivers*

I'm getting angrier as I type all of this out lol but it's so ridiculous.... *sigh*... I wonder if one day in the next 30-50 years folks will look back and be like, "people are dumb aren't they. These folks literally PAID money and tolerated PAIN to have permanent shit on their skin." LMAO.

Sorry tattoo lovers...I find the practice idiotic, useless, and not even interesting. Its just part of our "attention-seeking" society that we're building. Less time actually getting to know people but random info thrown at you.

Have I ever wanted to get a tattoo?? Suuuure, but then again I've also wanted to do many other dumb things and something called common sense kicks in and is like... that's not a good idea. Let's just do something you know... *not* so permanent and painful. I don't know... like buy a new pair of shoes or a t-shirt with a fav quote as a form of individual expression. Or may be put up a poster in your room.... I don't know I'm sure there are many ways for self-expression.




Really? Wow.

Getting a tattoo is a personal experience and not about telling the world anything. It is for yourself. Your observing them brings it to you, nothing else.


Yeah.... people say it's personal but I think a private journal is more personal. If someone else can easily see it, I don't think that makes it personal at all. I suppose I understand if it's in hidden areas...


That is you telling the world/people how they should be. People have choices & opinions that may be different than yours. Just cuz you don’t understand it doesn’t make it not valid.

Mine are hidden but it is the same if they aren’t. They get to deal with the way the world views them. It is not their responsibility to make you comfortable.


Hhmm brings a good question: whose responsibility is it then to make people around them feel comfortable?




It's your responsibility, sis. All you have to do is mind your business.


lol that's my whole damn point. I want to mind my own business and know nothing about you. But people want to show you who they are so openly.

you can observe but you don't have to see ... there is a subtle art form here
