yeah, you're not going to look that great when you're 70+ anyways, tattoo or not. But really I think that's just a side justification they throw in there. When it comes down to it, it's all just social stigma. Some people grow up seeing tattoos as bad things bad people get. My parents are like that, and there's nothing you can say or do to change their mind.

I always find it so funny when people with no tattoos make up reasons why people get tattoos and then get all worked up about the story they made up.

Tattooing has become so mainstream that there's no shock value anymore unless you're tattooing your face or head. Also because it's mainstream, a lot of people see it as a fad or something everyone's doing because everyone else is doing it. That way they can say "Look, I'm not participating in this trend. I have restraint and common sense" when pointing to people (celebrities) with ridiculous tattoos. Usually when people make these arguments they are pointing to celebrities and bad tattoos. I've never seen anyone make this argument next to a full Japanese bodysuit lol.

There was a make-up company that recently got a lot of backlash for hastly creating a foundation for the deepest skin tones. The formulation included only black pigment - it didn't work for anyone. Pure black pigment isn't a skin tone.

The funny thing about the elitist "low class" view of tattoos is that they actually used to be very common among elites. Tsar Nicholas had a tattoo of a dragon he got while visiting Japan. King George V had tattoos. And now that tattoos are more socially acceptable, plenty of elites (Crown Prince of Denmark, Princess of Sweden) are getting tattoos again. Really all depends on what it looks like and what's the placement. Some tattoos will always be trashy, sure. But as you know, it's been around for thousands of years.

yea thats very true

I don’t believe these commentators can see the irony of Australian-originally foundedas a penal colony-discussing how tattoos are for criminals.

The ritualistic nature of tattoo, the transformation in appearance as well as getting through a difficult session by utilizing prayer, meditation, and breathwork this is the appealing nature of tattoos for me. It's also nice to have something im my skin that inspires me, or is aesthetically pleasing to me or that is covering up a patch of scars. Plus tattoos get me high, and as a straight edge person and former addict - its one of my acceptable vices left.🖤 🤙🏼 from 🏝️ Kirk

This is great. Love your comments. Just want to say, I'm a 62 year old, retired woman with a master's degree and 2 undergraduate degrees - and no criminal record. I've always been so intrigued by tattoos (honestly it started with some of my favorite rock and punk bands and some of their tattoos). I had a few, small, discreet (and not very good) tattoos when I was in my 30's. After my parents passed away (they would have LOST THEIR MINDS if they knew I was tattooed!!) and especially when I started working for myself (in my 50's), I started going a bit wild with tattoos. I have two sleeves - one is 2/3, the other is 3/4, my lower legs are almost completely covered (I just got a beautiful gap filler yesterday). I don't have any hand or neck tattoos - and probably never will - it's just not for me, but I don't judge others getting them (unless they're just bad! 😅). I plan on getting a back piece (almost the entire back) before I'm too old and my skin is just not in good shape for it - which means VERY soon! I now live in Portugal and found a wonderful neo-traditional artist right in the town I live in (Johnny Domus). I've gotten about 3 fairly large (whole shins, whole calfs) tattoos from him already and plan on getting more. I'm really not trying to brag, just saying that not all old(er) people are anti-tattoo or against body mods. I'm just fascinated by the art form and love the whole process of deciding (generally) what I want to get then working with my artist on tweaking the design (he makes my original ideas into something pretty great) and then getting the tattoo. I only really don't enjoy the healing part! Anyway, if anyone wants to see any of my tattoos, you can scroll through my IG @iloverescuecats (sorry, the IG account is kind of a mess of just my life in Portugal). Thanks Kirk, for your tattoo videos. I love them. These people on this panel need to worry about much more important things rather than whether or not people are getting ink in their skin. ❤

“I’m a clean skin” Lmao that was so cringe. They talk about younger people not knowing themselves but then she self identified as a “clean skin” 🤣

LOL ok this was funny. My older sister is so proud to be one of the only people she knows with no tattoos and I find it honestly so funny. The people that care about others getting tattoos are gonna judge people for literally ANYTHING they can that makes them feel better about themselves.

Idk why I'd post this here, but here is a context in which I think cultural appropriation is a valid criticism. It's simply when people use someone's culture to subjugate them. Like the British started printing a bunch of religious texts in India to make people more focused with their religion rather than British rule. Things like that I think are when cultural appropriation is a valid criticism.

Kirk, you seem such like a genuine dude. I like how to talk about controversial/sensitive topics surrounding tattoo culture. I’m 41 and been researching for a bit now before get my first tattoo. I’m hoping to get one done by you if it’s nun first one or not. :)

calling tattoos 'try hard' is the real try hard behavior.

I love your level headed perspective it’s very refreshing to hear 💎🙏

I don't have tattoos and I think most people look better without them... but who cares about people (especially adults) getting tattoos. Also, I bet the woman who brought God in this conversation has pierced ears and doesn't think two ways about it.

I never understood the whole "you'll regret them when youre old" argument either. Old people with tattoos look sick.

Sky news is super right wing, so you can be certain what their opinion is on anything before even asking the question. I call the 'hard' left out for the same bullshit as well, the point being, it isn't worth wasting your time on their viewpoints or opinions on this sort of shit.

Your thoughts/commentary on cultural appropriation are spot on! - Very refreshing to hear. Thanks! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

As a neck tattoo haver with a side job at a coffee shop, that line made me crack up 4:45

"Tattoos have a meaning" yeah I liked the art enough for me to have it on me permanently.

Full disclosure: I would have more tattoos. I like them. The stories are always interesting. The idea of a needle-ANY needle-I’m going to the floor. It’s embarrassing, but it is what it is.

Cultural appropriation isn’t exploring other cultures, it’s using other cultures to define yourself and cherry picking what they like and leaving the hard stuff behind. It’s lame.

I feel like these newscasters don’t live in the real world today they must be real boring and very sheltered.

I don’t have any tattoos but am not against them. I’ve always said I’d get one of if I could decide on something I’d like presented on my body for the rest of my life, and I just never settled on anything. I’m 42 now and am one of the only people I know without a tattoo. I probably won’t get one at this point and am glad I didn’t get one because I probably would have regretted my decision. Some tattoos look silly on people, but that’s just my opinion. Some look better than others. As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters.

Clean skins is a wild ass name to call someone who doesn’t have tattoos lmao! I hate needles so I’ll prolly never get one myself but a lot of my homies do and I think they look really dope

This is what's wrong with the world. I never thought anything of it. The word "clean

I see a cool piece of American traditional and that’s why I get em There’s no meaning behind each piece except whether or not it would compliment my other piece

For the cultural appropriation aspect, I don't think that these people understand what cultural appropriation is. Like let's say that I as a white woman got traditional Inuit tattoos on my face and then claimed it was my thing in the first place, or used them to give myself an "exotic vibe." Blacking your skin out, however foolish (skin cancer anyone??) isn't cultural appropriation.

I was thirty before I got my first tatt. I'm sixty now and they still look great. No, I thought about each one for awhile, No I don't regret any of them.

The only reason these people think tattoos are "hardcore" or some extreme thing is because they were raised in a western country with Judeo-Christian moral views. In plenty of other cultures around the world, for thousands of years, normal people have been getting tattoos. Not just criminals.

Criminals are getting tattoo historically. Firemen in Japan too, to cover the burns. There is plenty of history link to tattoo and not all of them are bad.

I’ll be totally real- don’t hate I’m here in good faith.. I have 1 tattoo. I had the intention 15 years ago to get more but I didn’t. I am happy I didn’t. For ME. I don’t want to speak on everyone else but for me I always enjoyed standing out. When I used to see someone who had a bit of art I would admire and check it out. Now I don’t even give it a second glance. If I’m being totally Frank I enjoy novelty. When something becomes so common and saturated I can’t help but not be interested anymore. Again don’t hate I’m being totally open and honest in saying that FOR ME novelty and being different is fun. It’s not enough if your tattoos are different than the next person because the concept has become more pedestrian. But I still have a side of me that enjoys watching the work being done, special art, the creative process so I guess there is still some value in that way. AnywYs to each their own

we know ancient europeans had tattoos, from accounts and preserved bodies. humans overall world wide have been marking themselves from before we can remember. ive always had the opinion of above the hands and below the neck, im not a fan of face tattoo`s and hand tattoos but thats my own personal preference and taste if you have them thats your choice and i respect that. my left leg has some old tattoo`s based off preserved bodies (Scythians) some celt and some pictish images, its like tattoos through time, every time i find something in a musueum or such from these lot im thinking what i can do next :P it might not be to everyones taste and to some could look like crap tattoos but im just honoring the past art using my leg as the canvas, so what if my tattoo`s went out of fashion 2-3000 years ago lol....

When I get tattooed it’s going to be for me, so obviously I’m still going to love it in 30 years. Other people make choices about how they look every day that I would never. To openly be so judgemental about how someone else looks is kinda a dick move

Personally, I think it's genetic as to why people get tattooed. Humans have been doing it for such a long time. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure one of the oldest humans we've found had 63 tattoos. I believe it was that frozen dude they found that dated back to the ice age. I could totally be wrong cause I'm trying to remember off the top of my head, but even Scandinavians were tattooing themselves back in the Viking era. It's just ridiculous how people still consider them taboo. Yet, I do get it that tattoos are kinda looked down upon in mutliple cultures due to gangs and all that crap. This world just sucks ass, man.

yup

The people on the panel are probably JoJo Siwa new target audience so don’t feel too bad

lol I've seen videos like "No tattoos is the new tattooed" like... tf? If you don't want one don't get one. It's this weird band of people who want to act like they're "special" because they don't have tattoos. No one really cares about your personal choice at the end of the day. I'm not going to bed thinking "that dude would look so cool with a dragon on his chest"

As the majority seem to be tattooed today, I almost feel like a rebel as a clean skin. If you want to be covered in tattoos that is your choice, I don't mind it. But I don't necessarily will like it.

Everyone is in competition with eachother even with their clients. The level of judgement and opinions are off the chart. Tattoos used to be badass.

'The likeness of God'- People have been getting tattooed for thousands of years, way before the conception of the Christian/Judeo God. The only reason the Bible/Torah has any mentions of marking ones body is to separate followers from the Pagan traditions of tattooing oneself in an act of mourning. My Gods are tattooed as hell.

"What will you look like when your old" brother in christ, i will look like shit like all old people, but i'm will be covered in sick ass tats. that's it... I'm so tired of this none question all the time. You're old, you'll look like an old person anyway...
