You shouldn't be allowed to get a tattoo unless you drew it yourself...

You shouldn't be allowed to get a tattoo unless you drew it yourself. Then we would know who is truly expressing their creativity or who is exploiting the talent of somebody else to give the impression that they are interesting. Having somebody else do your tattoo is cheating.

Agreed. Fuck these posers that can't even create their own shit, OP

>don't drive a sports car unless you built it yourself so we can see the true engineers
>don't drink that milk unless you milked it from your cow so we can see who the true milk lovers are
>don't jerk off to that porn unless you shot it yourself so we can truly see your videography talent
Don't wear those name brand jeans unless you made the denim and sewed them together so we can see the true style talent
>kys

My sincere condolences for the regret you are going to have for the rest of your life for intentionally making yourself look like trash.

They are selling their art,no different from a gallery.
So you shouldnt display art unless you drew it your self?

>look like trash
>look like
No, it's an accurate indicator of trashy people. I like the current tattoo trend, people visually mark themselves as having no class at all so you don't even have to interact with them to find out.

Valid points are valid points

Tattoos are not always meant to be "your" art. Who gives a fuck who actually drew it. The meaning behind it is what matters

Tattooed user here. I kinda agree, anything i have on my body i drew myself, and shit makes it more personal. From what i've seen and heard, some tattoo artists don't like taking shit from the internet, and especially don't like copying tattoos. At the same time, you can't expect every nigger out there to just get skills good enough in art to create their shit themselevs.

That chick has a mustache

I disagree considering there are countless faggots that just cant draw.
Sure, everyone being creative and unique looking with tattoos would be fuckin rad.
But it just wont ever happen.
And considering tattoo artist are individual artists, they are selling their art. Its a part of the business.

And then theres garbage like this that would happen

As an alternative, you can show your tattoist what you're thinking of with a crude sketch, and they can add some creative freedom to it and make it more than just a picture from google plastered onto your shoulder.

>i trace a picture

I technically drew it myself.
Ysee, the issue with this is, that art theft would be on an extreme rise.

>although, as an artist, ive drawn all my tatts
>and i think this would be great if the world were more artistically skilled

How about you stop taking life so seriously?

No I don't have a tattoo.

Testies

That sounds totally enforceable. Great idea. How about nobody ever steals ever again while you're at it.

>judges people because they have tattoo's

You also think that every girl who wont talk to you (so literally every girl) is a bitch right? Its not that you're fucking awkward who doesnt understand his life around him so he rather gets angry at everything.

tattoofag here.
you are wrong.

had the honour to be friends with one of the great oldschool masters, one of the pioneers of modern, western tattooing.

people like you dont understand the original spirit of the service those guys offered back then, and the fact that until a few years ago you got tattoos as you already were some sort of outcast, and not to be a special little snowflake cunt expressing
itself through its original, deep and meaningful "art".

a fuckin attention whore, that's what you are.

You must be 18 or older to post here. If by chance you are over 18 and you give this much of a shit about degenerate tattoos go fuck yourself.

tattoos should be legally referred to as fagttoos

it is legal, you moron

You're right. Anyone who disagrees is a white knight autist.
