Tattoos make you look like trash!

The only people who would call other people TRASH, are TRASH THEMSELVES. People get tattoos as a way of expressing themselves. They are shelled on the inside so want the world to know what they believe in and what they're about on the outside. Its because of people like YOU, people with tattoos do this. Because they want the world to go ahead and judge them for what they look like, so people like you will never be able to see the beauty that lies beneith. JERK!

Have we not yet learned to except and like people for what they achieve in life, how they treat people , animals, and the enviorment around them, I do hope that you also do not make fun or turn your head in discuss when some one is disfigured or handicapped. You say these people are stupid, may I remind you that from the begining of time, people have been doing things to themselves to enhance their personal appearence. I hope that the ones that are posting their comments, are not wearing makeup, hair color, fine clothes, white teeth, etc.....

Are you sad or trashing others because one wouldn't look good on you. Poor thing, stop judging.

if tattoos make you look like trash than i am the trashiest person in the world. but to be honest some tattoos look like trash but they do no make the person look any different other than the fact that they now have ink on their body but nope still dont look like trash. and also i bet you have at least one tattoo yourself. unless your like a 90 yr old geezer that just knocks everyone else. before you disrespect another person you should think about if that was you and what you would say in that instance. but like i said i guess im the trashiest person in the world. 400+ tattoos and still goin

These women are in most cases beautiful. Do they some type of self destruction thing that causes them to disfigure their bodies?

Gives credulance to the blogs about saggy old hags in 20 years; or, the laster removal folk will certainly be busy. Dittor for the "who" males whe in about the same timei will not be recalled. As for "permanent," notice you don't see the designs on TV or the movies...wonder if they use makeup.

Just another sign that society is in the toilet.

Tatoo's have gotten way out of hand. Personally I think it makes the person like dirty-as in unclean. I watched the Oscars and peed my pants watching Ms. Jolie with what obviously was hundreds of thousands of dollars in Emerald, a beautiful dress, a handsome man and idiotic tatoos. UGLY,

I don't understand why these beautiful actresses have all of these tattoos. As gorgeous as they are, why would they want to deface their body like that? Now, Megan Fox, I would make an exception for her. Her beauty is flawless and there's always tattoo removal for Megan Fox in the future. What about Jessica Beal? Does she have any? I hope not she is radiant. I would love to see more of her.

Dont like tattoos? Dont get one. Otherwise, shut up.
Dawndrea at 10:39PM on Jun 27th 2009
I'm with you I have several all of which have personal meaning for various parts of my life it's better than just buying things that are gonna wear out or something I guess to each their own...

Tattoos are very ugly on skin. Most are blackish and they turn gray or greenish after awhile. The look dirty like the skin was not washed. A woman wearing an evening gown,her hair and make up perfect and then you see these dirty marks, [tattoos] yuk!

Not all tattoos turn black or greenish. If you go to a reputable tattoo artist and they use good, and yes, expensive ink, they'll last a life time. I myself have about 42 tattoos, my back is covered as well as my arms, and other places. It's all about decorating our bodies and being ourselves.

Tattoos on women make me think of biker bar hogs, carnival people, and musicians. I don't think tattoos on women make them look unclean, just unclassy.

Hey, I have 3 tattoo's, one on my back, one on my arm and one that covers my thigh. They all represent a part of my life that I am either proud of or not proud of. I am not a "biker bar hog" , I am not a bar fly, and I am also not a carnival person, but, even if I was that doesn't mean that I would automatically have a tattoo. I know women and men that ride and don't have tattoos. Some of you people sound SO incredibly shallow and very uneducated about the world. Some cultures and people find it beautiful and a way of life. Maybe some of you should try embrasing the differences in people and trying to find the beauty in them instead of being so horribly cruel and closed minded. It's okay if you don't like them, but, you don't have to be so shallow.
The difference between people that have tattoos and people that don't is that people that have tattoo's don't give a *&^% if you don't have them.

I love tattoos and don't care if other people don't like mine. I like them, and that's enough!
Jan at 11:45AM on Apr 25th 2009
My tattoos all represent something meaningful to my life. They are for me, and not for anyone else. You're so right Arggg, if people don't like them they shouldn't get them, and just leave the rest of us alone.
