Will tattoos go out of style?

[Anonymous No.8493874]

It's already becoming a bit passe with the trendy front, but I'd say they'll generally maintain a pretty strong presence, even if it isn't necessarily "fashionable" at a given point.

work in customer service job, regularly see 40+ with embarrassingly lame tattoos. ya, maybe they don't regret it, but having a sawn on your arm as a single 45 year old woman isn't that great. most of my co-workers have tattoos.

In a word, no

They used to represent a counterculture, but they've been appropriated in the last decade or so by middle aged women and teen girls

Soon that market for them (women, specifically, along with hip upper middle class trend hoppers) will likely dissipate. So I suppose in that sense they'll go out of fashion

There will always be subcultures to whom tattoos are more significant than a "LOVE AND RESPECT" tramp stamp in script, though. They'll stick around

I think people saying I would only get a tatoo if... and blah blah blah special meaningful bs is dumb as fuck. I think they can look cool and an original creative piece is badass. The ones that you see every damn day are lame to me even if its "for my grandpa" lol so stupid. but I wouldn't get any. Mainly cause I don't think that shit would compliment my body enough to actually want one.

i think you're missing that when people say, "i'd only get one for special meaning" because they don't want to have just a generic tattoo, because getting a tattoo is cool or something. most people aren't waiting to get there grandpas ugly face on there pec, they're waiting until they think or find somethign that really speaks to their personality,likes, job, aspirations etc. For example, a grad student in my faculty (physics) got an equation that he think is the most beautiful thing in the world, tattoo'd. I can imagine an artist or graphic designer getting somethign that ism to them, of such beauty they want to see it every day. That's not to say people who get tattoos of random stuff, are dumb, i'm just eaxplining what a special tattoo is all about.

The only reason I'd ever get a tat would be to increase my sex appeal and help me get hotter chicks. And that's what I would tell everyone, because I'm not a hypocrite.

Meaning? Shut the fuck up. Unless you are Yakuza, there is no meaning.

Tattoos are lame. But women are dumb so they find them attractive, because they look like a "bad boy". Yeah, just because i go to gym and get a tat does not mean I'm a bad boy, I'm actually a programmer. But hey, if it's that easy to manipulate you, why not...

[Anonymous No.8494755]

Like all things, it's both cyclical and relative. Within certain cultures tattoos have always been popular, with some they are only now appearing, and some have always and will always shun them. As far as what is "hip" or "cool" they are, relatively speaking, recently becoming popular. I foresee tattoos being mainstream for a while, but perhaps the styles changing over time. Eventually they are going to become posh, like all things eventually do, existing once again mainly in subcultures until the eventual crest of the wave breaks and the cycle begins again.

[Anonymous No.8494785]

>\delta S \ge 0

That's one dumb physics related tattoo. The problem really is that the expression really needs some definition. There are so many processes in thermodynamics you could say something like "\delta S \ge 0" about. I'd rather try to symbolise that differently.
There are many beautiful things in physics, but to me at least, this doesn't capture it.
The covariant formulation of the Maxwell equations is beautiful, for example. Just how 4 compact equations with high symmetry turn out to be just one, even simpler equation.

/fa/ always manages to confuse people who legitimately like tattoos and trend hoppers. that girl walking down the street with "live laugh love" tattooed on the back of her shoulder doesn't give a shit about tattoos or what they mean and she will regret it no matter what she says. same deal with the guy with the cross on his shoulder. they're trend hoppers

then there's people with quality art on their body, probably encompassing most of their body. these are true tattoo lovers and that will never go out if style. fuck if I care if the average girl has her dead grandmothers initials tattooed on her ribs

[Anonymous No.8496962]

tattoos are permanent, and its much much harder to change them than change clothes if there's a significant paradigm shift.

in other words, if 20s jazz culture comes back or something completely immersive appears and everyone is wearing it (like hipster/fuccboi now), you'll look retarded with an old tat.

I would only get a small stencil or something in black outline. color and complex tats are tryhard imo

Tattoos being in style is actually more recent than I thought. I think it would be safe to assume that tattoos will go out of style during our lifetime. Tattoos will be something that old people have, something that young kids make fun of old people for. Old geezers will go "whatever you young faggots are too pussy to get them! Back in my day we were tough! We got tattoos!". I can only imagine how retarded you faggots are going to look

I don't know, because at a point it seems that jobs are gonna have to say fuck it and start hiring people with tats, since it seems like a high number of millennials get them mindlessly because it's a thing to do. If they haven't already gone lax on that.

I remember at a point, if you had a tat you were a gangster or some shit, now every pussy gets one and thinks they're hardcore. A lot of people do it because they believe they're never going to work a job and will find a path where they're their own bosses, or some people feel are just contempt with with working fastfood and other dead end jobs for the rest of their life. I've actually known people who got tats and justified it by saying they're going to own their own business so it doesn't matter, and a lot of these people are working walmart and fastfood now.


I have two on my arms that are visible, can easily be hid under work attire. I will never get any dumb shit like my ears stretched or face, hands, or neck tats. The tattoos are meaningful to me, so I really don't feel the need to have ones to show off, since I'm not an attention whore.

If I get more, they're gonna be in places that can be easily hid in a professional work setting.

This is when you get a tattoo, not because you think something looks nice and is "artistic" and want a permanent imprint of it on your body.

And get it on parts of the body which you can cover. No neck, hands, face, head.
