Everybody used to get tattoos to be unique but now it is unique to be normal and I like it.

I do not think that a tattoo is going to make someone look like a prisoner lol.

I do not have any tattoo's and I am not sure if I will ever get one. Everyone in my family has more than one tattoo, but they aren't all over them. They are in places that can easily be covered so that when in a professional setting, they are not to be seen. I am not against tattoo's or anyone else that has one, they just may not be for me. Plus, I am a little afraid of the pain, I usually have a very high pain tolerance, but I just don't think I could sit there and have a needle stabbing me over and over and over :confused:

15 years ago, you can say a person was in jail if he got a tattoo.

Why I am even surprised you have this mentality. You are a East European ... this is typical for East Europeans who are (in terms of civilization, education, mentality, tolerance, etc., etc.) with a few centuries behind the rest of Europe. I live in a East European country (your neighbor from the North) and I bump into people with this mentality every day and I'm sick of them. Get used to diversity and stop judging someone because, say, they have several tattoos on their bodies. Look what happens in the Scandinavian countries (and not only), where you can find tattooed police officers, lawyers, managers and so on, and nobody tells them that they look like prisoners or other nonsense ...

Mostly no, but usually if they have tattoos across their face and neck where it is always visible, they often have a criminal background. Especially as tattoos in those places will make it even more difficult to get employed.

You are saying that I shouldnt judge someone for having a tattoo, but you judge people for being from Eastern Europe? Haha, okay.

Also,


Politics: Pan-European
Religion: No religion

Enough said. Nonreligion Pan-Europeanist who thinks that half of the continent is few centuries behind the rest. You need to change something, mate.

No, I am not judging people that they are from Eastern Europe ... I am also from Eastern Europe and so is my family (most of it) and my friends. I am just saying that most East Europeans have a vicious mentality. And this is not a subjective point of view, I live among them, that is how I know this.

Also, what is wrong with being Pan-European ?! And most of all, what is wrong with having no religion ?! See, this is the mentality which I was talking about, mate! That is why I am saying that Eastern Europe is far behind the rest of Europe in terms of civilization, education, mentality, tolerance, etc., etc. And when I say Eastern Europe, I do not mean South-Eastern, North Eastern, nor do I mean Central Eastern Europe ... I mean just Eastern Europe.

P.S.: I do not get nervous :picard2:... in the worst case I get angry ...

So everyone who has a tattoo hates himself or had a period in their life when they hated themselves ?? Really ?! And physically insecure ?! I bet David Beckham who is wanted by thousands of women feels so physically insecure.

And a 70 years old looks "not pretty" with, or without tattoos. His skin degrades and of course the tattoo degrades along with his skin ...

Nah they are an art form, except the skin is used as a canvas. Have been for thousands of years.


People have a number of different reasons for getting tattoos though and many of them are un-artistic i agree. Like people getting their mates names tattoed on their arses or something haha.

I live in Eastern Europe too. No such thing as behind in terms of civilization, we just have different culture. Education is poorer indeed, but well educated people are many. We have specialists that are working on high positions in many West European corporations. The contribution to science from Eastern Europe is big and notable. Mantality is also different, but this dont makes us behind from the sterile and cold attitude that many Westerners have. Tolerance is something that we cannot talk about. Concentration camps are started from Spain, used by Britains. Golden down in Greece is the only big far-right party in Eastern Europe, unlikely some other "more developed in cultural terms countries".
Being a Pan-Europeanist and calling the half continent more weak in civilization aspect is like being an English nationalist and hating half of England.
Being an non-religious person and think that this makes you more inteligent than the people with faith is an evidence how well-behaved you are.

Dont want to offend you, but when you attack the society that I live in, you are attacking me. I'm proud with the civilization, mentality and tolerance of my people.

Beckham is lucky he was a good footballer and attractive, otherwise he would probably be a sanitation worker, or something. Dumb as sin.

We are talking about the present day, right ? Not about tolerance in the second world war or before it. And do I have to repeat myself about the East Europe not being South-East etc. ? Does Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine and a few more makes half the continent ? What I am saying is like a English nationalist saying he hates London (maybe because it hosts too many immigrants, or other reason), which I am sure that often happens ... do you, for example, love every single aspect of your country ? I doubt, but if you say you do, than you are either lying, either you are blinded and brainwashed by a form of extreme patriotism.
The owner of the company for which I work is Dutch. You probably realize that The Netherlands is one of the best places on Earth where you can live, but still, my boss says that he loves his country, but he sees so many defects and so many bad things in his country. So does this means he doesn't love his country ?
I love Europe and I would not want to live on another continent, but still, I see Europe's defects and faults. And one of that "defects" is Eastern Europe. And you say that it is just a different culture, so that makes being rude, uneducated, intolerant, still having the communist mentality (that everyone should be the same, and diversity is not accepted) part of the East European culture ? Pf ... odd culture ...
And please quote me where I have said that I consider myself more intelligent because I am non religious ... Please do, because I have said nothing related to religion until you provoked me, and even then, I have not said that I am more intelligent due to not having any religion ...

Absolutely not, indeed some tattoos are comparable to piece of arts. I don't think that it is so easy to "draw" something with a nail in human body since it isn't a flat surface, besides giving the ilumination, the shadows, the color, etc.

The fact that the OP is comparing people who have tattoos with prisioners is quite laughable, like if all criminals would have tattoos or the simple fact of having one would become you a "bad" or dishonest person.

Listen, boyo, as far as I can deduct from your nickname and the mentioning of you living in Romania, I'd say you are indeed a Romanin; and not that old one. I'd tell you why I assume that.

I've been a child during the 80s and the 90s. Grew up in those times. I remember well those decades, especially the 90s, and I can tell you this - the 80s in a country belonging to the Warsaw Pact and COMECON and the 80s in the so called 1st world weren't that different. Technology(cars, machinery, computer devices, air-cosmo-stuff) - same(stolen or not; in some fields superior(I'll get to that later*)), fashion - pretty much the same, massmedia coverage, education, literacy - same. In most fields we were an even match, in some they were better, in some we were.

The big difference came in the 90s, after the old regime collapsed. Surprise, surprise... :rolleyes:. Our head, our planning and executive capabilities were decimated, therefore the others took the advantage. Now, the reasons do not matter. Yes, maybe, we were a failing system. Yes, if it happened, probably it is only natural.

BUT, before it happened we were total equals with the West. East and West were on a par. And you can not fool me on this one, cause I'm a temporary.

Now, go back to playing videogames and sucking shit at university.:thumb001:

*Now, that's from an academic source. When the Americans came to consult us in the early 90s on agriculture what they said is as follows - Land consolidation - you are superior to us; science and development in the field - superior; novel practices - superior; chemical industry applied in the sector - superior; mechanisation - obsolete; manual personnel - Gypsies. Overall - superior. End of story.

This is just nonsense ... you cannot blindly deny that the west is much more developed then the east. And not just technology and things like that. I mean human behavior. You cannot simply say that people from Germany or The Netherlands for example can be compared with people from Romania and Bulgaria.
My grandmother told me that in the second world war (she was about 15 then) when the German soldiers were coming in her village, they were clean, ordered, mannered and polite, but when the Russians came, they were acting like pigs; they were rude, unmannered, cruel, they were treating women like sluts and so on.
This is just an example to show that there always existed a huge difference between the west and the east. I work in a company which sales sports articles all around Europe and I am responsible with planning and with customer service, so I have dealt with people all around Europe, and I can tell you, there is a difference in attitude and mentality between the east and the rest of Europe.
It is simply pathetic to deny this. I thought that when you age, you become wiser, but it seems that it is not your case ... no offence, but just drop this fake and useless patriotism. Its like I would say that Romanians are just the same as Germans and Dutch ... this is just pathetic ...

I'm not talking about WWII. Collectively the Bulgarians have fonder memories of hte Germans from those times as well. I'm talking about the later years. Furthermore, Albania, like Yugoslavia(we were paying the Yugos not to interfere and you were fanatically locked inside your bunkers), was in the buffer zone, so you kinda do not have the word on this one.

I'm sorry, did we decide to go Commie and do that? It's not as if Communism in Bulgaria was any better, you guys literally shot any Bulgarian, be it women or children if they crossed the fake state border.

But I gotta admit, during Communism, the people were very hardworking, we produced anything, from fake nails to tanks.

Apparently I am in the 1% category as I only have one tattoo and do not intend to have anymore, the majority of people who have tattoos always go back and have more done.
My tattoo is on my right shoulder, it is still in condition as the day it was done over 10 years ago, it never sees the sun, and only when I privately expose it is it seen.
People who have multiple tattoos and show them off publicly want the attention of having them on their bodies.

It is simply pathetic to deny this. I thought that when you age, you become wiser, but it seems that it is not your case ... no offence, but just drop this fake and useless patriotism. Its like I would say that Romanians are just the same as Germans and Dutch ... this is just pathetic ...
I'm started thinking that Romanians and Bulgarians do your girlfriend, mate. There is no other reason why you should think that we are secong-hand people. I'm pretty sure it's personal.

A man who sales sport articles to tell me that I'm less educated... Well, dont think so.

The point is that you have prejudices about Easterners, and deny it. If you were so tolerant that you say, we wont have this kind of conversation right now. Easy as that.

Back to topic, I think that some of them can look nice if there are not too much of them but I've seen so many fugly made tattoos, even these with some good design that it successfully discourages me from getting myself one.

Well judging by the above insults which you have thrown on me, I'm pretty sure that I am more educated than you ... and the one who sales, plans and also is responsible with customer service is called an Operational Manager ... but that's bragging and indeed, it is a bit silly ...
And no, its nothing personal, this are just observations made during my life in this part of Europe ... and I am sure you also see this things, but your irrational patriotism makes you deny them ...

Bro in Bulgaria I keep seeing more and more teenagers getting tattoos. It's usually of some chinese writing or some lame ass quote. It's become quite the phenomena over there.

Scots hate that also, similar ethos. Showing off a lot, is a 'no no'..

In Scandinavia its part of the Jante law mentality, very strong conformist and collectivist idea that runs very deep in our culture...

Being good at what you do, should take higher importance, than a suit & tie.

Lucky for us this is the case in most jobs here..

It is how human processes work. In noncivilized countries like Bulgaria, we study psychology and know how society thinks. Dont slip away with the education.

Then i guess you should start putting your money under your madras as prejudice is found at every level, not just towards people with tattoos..You know society is build on trust right, this is why we have less hostility then you guys in our society...

Tattoos are a form of self mutilation / expression of self hatred. Attention getting for the mentally and physically insecure.


That would depend on the person.
Tats in the U.S. at least, unless you're getting a deal for some reason, are relatively expensive, besides for the looks, a large colored tat could be saying 'I have my own personal, style', to be honest, I judge the style & subject sort of harshly.
Oh, and before assuming my liberal attitude towards tattoos stems from me having some, that'd be wrong, I don't have any tats.
