“Do you think my tattoo is cool?” No, I don’t. There are no cool tattoos. “Check out my sleeve!” Oh god ew.

Tattoos themselves are stupid. Doubly so if it’s some media IP. “I put Batman on my body!” “Look at this image of Goku on my calf!” I can’t think of many things I’d want to do less than that.

There are a few narrow exceptions. Chances are yours isn’t one of them.

If you personally like tattoos, fine. I’m not saying nobody should get tattoos because I don’t like them. I’m stating my opinion that tattoos are stupid, and I am stating it here because it is probably not a popular opinion.

    I half agree.

    If you’re getting IP put on, I think that’s a bad idea. I may still find it aestheticaly pleasing.

    I’ve had a mind to do something similar to Adam Savage’s ruler tattoo, because there is actual utility in always being able to get a rough measure of objects. But I’d prefer to wait until I’m in my 50s for that, just so there is minimal change in size as I have it.

      With IP tattoos there is also the chance that an IP goes bad. Like an artist or singer turning out to be a Nazi or pedophile. Or think of the people who got a Tesla tattoo when the brand was still cool.
