I clearly just don't understand the appeal of tattoos. If they were something like makeup you throw on temporarily for an event then sure whatever but... the permanent, painful, and expensive option is the one everybody chooses? To put a picture of a bird on your arm? Lmao why

Face tattoos always fuck with me, I can't remember seeing one that looked good except maybe ones with some cultural backing. Those are cool because it like, links you to your family and history and looks badass in a unity type way.

But like some random word done in some shitty cursive on your eyebrow? why? Some badly inked flowers snaking up past your eye? huh? At least a teardrop tattoo says something, an acknowledgment of mistakes and a deep shame you wear on your face. Just some notebook doodles permanently scribbled across your face? ooof.

If you get face tattoos, you just need to dedicate yourself to being a tattoo person, you need them everywhere, a full commitment to either the kayfabe life of an "alt-badass" or true dedication to a life of crime.

I recently just saw someone with a word, God knows which, tattooed under her jaw/chin all the way across in large, black cursive. Even at a slight distance it made it look like she had a neckbeard, which isn't a good look on absolutely anyone.

She's a punk covered in tattoos, some of which were good, so I don't think she really cares. But I kinda wonder if anyone stopped her beforehand and warned her that this one will just make her look like a neckbeard. No amount of crime or badassery makes neckbeards cool.
