I mean tattoos have always been a part of hip hop culture but not whole bodies covered. Wtf is this going to look like when they're 50+?

Worse is that it's not just the famous rappers (and Travis Barker) who have all these tattoos but the young nobodies I see everyday. I remember 10 years ago I used to hear how you didn't want to get a tattoo on a spot of your body where it'd show because of job prospects and now half of my college friends are getting tatted head to toe. :lol

Idk...anybody have tons of tattoos like the ones above? Or plan on "inking their whole body up" or think it looks cool?

Yeah I won't get anything done below my elbows. Some of the girls at my job can't ever wear short sleeves because they have tattoos on their wrists and shit, and my cousin can't at his job because his forearms are tatted.

I don't plan on getting much else tattooed. I might get somethin small on my chest at some point but even that i'm not sure about. Right now i just have elbow-to-shoulder done on both arms. Not sleeves, just separate ones.

I have a tattoo running down the back of my left arm from the top of the triceps to my wrist. I can cover it up with a long sleeve shirt, which you are usually required to wear anyway among formal environments so it's never made a difference in that regard.

You really do have to take time in selecting something you like and putting it in a suitable place. It's possible to get tattoo's removed without scaring but it's costly and takes anywhere from 6-18 months depending on the size and colours.

I think the pictures you posted are over the top but it fits in with the image they are looking for "Bad Boy thug". That annoys me because personally I would like the general society to get pass the whole "Tattoo's are for bad boys" and look at it as a form of art for any type of person young and old.

well i think thats why most people get tattoos. i bet probably only like 10% of people who get them are really into ink culture like birdman anderson or deshawn stevenson, and the rest are just people who do it so they have somethin to show off if theyre ever in a group of other peeps that have ink.

i dunno, maybe not, but i personally know a lot of people who get them for that reason. its like they dont wanna find themselves in a group of dudes with their shirts off and be the only one to not have ink. but its not like they discovered the idea of tattooing and really thought "wow thats a really cool concept, ive got all these great ideas for things id like to get tatted with..."

That says more about them and there insecurities. NEVER get a tattoo because of someone else or the need to "Fit in". The people who do just that will never feel content.

The hip hop culture is mirrored by the NBA (and vice-versa) and the culture's devotion to tattoos in the last 15 years is mind-boggling. I remember when people looked and talked about Dennis Rodman's tattoos as if he was out of his mind and a complete abomination.

Now, Rodman's tats wouldn't only go unnoticed, they are almost expected. It is really weird when you see an NBA star that ISN'T wearing sleeves of tattoos.

In a way, Rodman was the pioneer of this whole thing.

I got a tattoo while I was still in high school (senior year). It is on my left ankle and it is 'MM' in red and black lettering. It stands for the neighborhood that I grew up in... Me and my six best friends all have it.

I can't explain why this is really, but I think tons of tats of ripped people looks bad in comparison really skinny dudes like Wiz and Travis and all that...Tommy Lee, etc...

my theory behind this is that a skinny person is more likely to actually live the "street-punk-ink" life than a gym rat, so it is more fitting...that is just my theory though...but if you are huge and ripped like Arnold in his prime that would look awful tatted out...

fat people like Rick Ross...that actually looks good on him I think...better than just looking at "fat skin"...

obviously those of fame have an easier time pulling this shit off cause we all know they have it made already and thier job type supports this kind of stuff...

From a personal standpoint, I have virtually no chance of getting a tattoo at any point of my life. Essentially, I don't trust my own judgment. A handful of players I used to coach all got tattoos their senior year of high school or shortly thereafter. That got me thinking, if the 2002 (senior year) version of me had gotten inked up, it'd almost indisputably be something ridiculous that I'd be regretting this very moment. I was an idiot. It'd have been an ode to Deltron 3030 or my jersey number or something. So, knowing who I am and how often my mindset changes over time, I can't really think of any type of design or theme I'd be able to comfortably commit to for my entire life.

I do recall a former player in our program who had his late father tattooed on his shoulder, I respected that. One of that nature seems as if it'd last forever. But even then, I don't think that'd be me.

Switching things up a little bit, why do you guys believe our culture still seems to frown upon any sort of tattoos? I have a friend who was recently hired as a nurse and had to find a way to cover up a star tattoo on the top of her hand. Just a star. A big part of me says, "Hospitals are the real deal, they can take any steps they feel necessary to promote a feeling of professionalism throughout the complex." But clearly, hospitals aren't the only places with this rule. I feel as though tattoos are becoming more and more mainstream so is it your feeling they will only become more and more accepted in work environments and elsewhere over time?

Lastly, strange to hear Dennis Rodman brought up. I didn't even notice how accustomed we'd all grown to seeing super tatted players in the NBA. You're totally right, his abundance of tattoos made Rodman "edgy" and possibly crazy (of course, other characteristics played a role in that crazy claim, but the tats were a part of the deal). Back then, if you brought up Dennis Rodman to a random person, they'd say "Oh, that basketball player with all the tattoos." Now, if you say, "Hey, you know that basketball player with all those tattoos?" you could be referring to nearly everyone. I didn't even notice it'd grown at such a rapid rate.

I have a shamrock on my shoulder, which I now regret, mostly because it's in color, and as I've gotten older, I'd like to have that spot to do a cap in black and grey. I do intend to get my other shoulder capped soon. I also have a pretty big back piece.

I'm not really a fan of places of employment asking that they be covered, particularly in a place like a hospital, where really, qualification should trump all else. It actually makes more sense to me in a perception type business, like sales or something.

It is odd how mainstream the visable tattoo has become. When I was a kid, if you saw someone with a sleeve or something in a grocery store, you'd stare at him, now it seems like there's maybe 1/10 guys with a sleeve and I don't even usually notice what it is.

My confusion was more with the fact that people are usually offended not by what it's a tattoo OF, but the actual tattoo itself. People don't even care what it's a tattoo of, they just see ink on someone and think it's classless and unprofessional.

My friend has "Beautiful Life" tattooed on her wrist because her baby almost died when he was younger but ended up pulling through. A customer at her job saw it and reported her to the manager and said "that girl's tattoo is showing and i find it offensive". How the hell can someone get offended by the words beautiful life?

Again you didn't answer my question. You rant in the same post how you should have to cover up a tattoo and then you say people should be able to get a tattoo if they want one. So i'm guessing people have to run it by their manager to see if they can get one and then they can agree on a place to put it.....is that what your saying?

Are you also saying that personal input and meaning in a tattoo is wrong? Should it just be an arbitrary decision then?

how am i contradicting myself. i am saying they should be able to get whatever they want, but they should expect to have to cover it up when they are working because nobody wants to see that shit. tattoo's should not be visable while you are working. surely its not that hard to understand.

Are you also saying that personal input and meaning in a tattoo is wrong? Should it just be an arbitrary decision then?
i'm not saying its wrong at all, i am saying that people who say stuff like this tattoo has more meaning than this tattoo therefore this person is justified to get a tattoo and this person is a douche because his has no meaning. c'mon, as if getting a name tattoo'd on your arm is going to make you love them more or make the event any more significant.

step_back
05-26-2011, 06:02 AM
Finally you posted something worth replying to.

Firstly formal jobs require you to cover up a tattoo, however in the U.K you are discouraged from having them in areas which are in plain sight. Doing so could effect your employment (you can't be fired but you might upset your manager) But what right do they have over you anyway to dictate how you should look.

Second why do people have the right to not see it? If it isn't anything offensive then why have a problem with it? It doesn't do ANYTHING to them. It doesn't affect them in any physical or emotional way so why even bring it up in the first place?

Third I didn't say anything about a tattoo being any more justified because of having a personal meaning. I said that particular ink epitomes what ink should be about. Something personal regardless of it having any meaning or not. Personal can simply be an idea you came up with. Walking into a tattoo parlour and just picking something from the flash work will most of the time lead to a regret purchase.

Having a tattoo on your arm doesn't mean the whole event or person is that much more significant then anyone else. It does mean it's a more significant experience in the individuals life. Seems like you think it's only to show other people, when actually most of the time it acts as a message to oneself.

Tyson did it first and it was a joke in the Hip Hop community and in every community for that matter.

Nowadays you got people getting tats under their eyes & on their foreheads right below their hairline.

What the **** are they thinking?

Nobody is going to hire you with "Get Money ****** ENT" tatted on your forehead.

Nobody is going to hire you with a cross right below your right eye.

I have 0 problem with people inking up their bodies, but dont tat your face.

I have a 3/4 sleeve. Doing another 3/4 and a back peice to cover my entire back this winter. Want a chest peice after that.

Also have a piece on my wrist and small ones on my back and chest already. Hoping to be finished my upper body within 2 years.

That's a lot of Ink. What design is your sleeve?

saw that on PTI, the baby's head creeps me out

Lol foreal though...
It looks as though he had one specific artist do every tat on him and then he randomly decided to switch it up and get somebody less talented to draw up that demonic looking face...
