Is getting tattoo after tattoo an addiction? Is it like cutting or is it more with body morphing and trying to change who you are?
All through history people have tattooed themselves. Vikings, Celts, Native Americans, Polynesians, etc. I don't think it has anything to do with self hate. At least not then. Now, I can see some of it being that. So self hate could be one reason for tattoo after tattoo.
Having just one in an inconspicuous location, like an ankle, isnt so bad...but if you have a hundred I suppose they all become equally meaningless. "I have always said it...a women is nature's masterpiece." -Picasso
It's body art. I see no problem with it personally. However good luck with career. Many workplace look down upon tattoos. You are also not ever likely to experience sento and the lovely onsen with overly noticeable tattoos.
i have 6 tattoos and planning lots more, (much to my husbands disgust) and i love having them done, i love the pain of the needle and i just love the thought of somthing being on me that in all rights shouldnt be there, but lots mroe tattoos for me! so yeah thay can becomme addictive
i will never ever get a tattoo on my face or hands, not on my neck either, they are all hiden if i want them to be
I've always found them to be slighty disgusting. Wait until you are 50 or more and they start getting saggy and distorted. Yuck!!!
thats why you get them re-coloured! i lvoe them i will never regret them, each one marks a time in my life!!
Or leave getting tattoos until you're already saggy and have them done to suit the sags. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Utter nonsense.
I'm gonna guess this guy has some self hate issues. Does anyone think its a mental illness like cutting? Is it along the lines of body modification like tongue splitters?
no i dont think its a mental illness, but i do mentally get physced up when i get them done!! its almost erotic!! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Not a mental illness at all. It's a body mod, sure some people like the pain involved but it isn't on the same lines as cutting, which isn't done to deliberately change the appearance of the body.
Body piecing and body art started as a social craze in the 90's. The same era goth was taking over from Punk. The 90's to me are the peak of the "this is me years", which started in the 80's. Tattoos are a product of a society totally opposite from the 60's, which were the "lets get together" times. Technological revolution and the internet also marched in during the ninties, which was characterized by the dot com boom. But not everything about the nineties was fine and dandy, it was the beginning of ridiculus political politeness and litigiousness . Ah, the nineties, the same era that gave us "girl power".
