What do you think of tattoos??

[GeistFaust]

I tend not to think highly of them, but then again it depends on the artist and the content of the message being sent. I think tattoos tell us something about a person, and are an individual's desire to communicate themselves their feelings about self and others in some manner. I think some tattoos can be quite harmless, and sometimes getting yourself branded or tattooed is a way of bonding among people, especially in the military.


I think in a sense it can create a certain togetherness of self, and I think impressing a mark on yourself reveals something about your personality disposition. I think it shows you have closed yourself off to certain things, and you hold onto this symbol or mental archetype as an integrable element and component of self.


I think this can be find, unless someone is making some insidious and evil thing an integrable element of self, which I think could let some unwarranted energy forces enter the dynamic processes of the mind.

Tattoos look hideous.

Enforce the ban!

Tattoos are usually simbol of profanity and low self esteem,let alone the fact how hard It'd be to find a well paid job with some visible tattoos.However some temporary tattoos are a bit more accepted.It is a personal choice whether to have one or not,but as far as I know once you have started there is no way to stop with one.

Volume 7, Book 71, Number 636:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, “The effect of an evil eye is a fact.” And he prohibited tattooing

Some look good and some look ugly. But the crucial point is not the look. It's about the assignment to lower social classes. Although the tattoo trend has expanded the last decade into circles where a tattoo would have not been thinkable before and I also personally know tattoed people that I find okay, it would still signal to me (in case of a woman) that it's no individual that I could seriously be with. I would feel to have failed if I ended up with a woman that has a tattoo.

Again: I do not criticise anyone and a tasteful tattoo can look good aesthetically. But it simply has this social dimension that can not be ignored.

Depends on the motive and the place.
But normally I don´t have a problem with it, I have a few tattoos myself.
