its his body...if he likes it, thats all that matters
Like with fashion, people can have no idea what looks good on them. Tattoos are fair game.
i guess i just dont see the point in it. a tattoo is for the individual, if they like it, its all that matters.
I don't like mustard. Lots of people do. But I don't. Doesn't make it a bad condiment.
So if I go out with white briefs over my jeans, you wouldn't comment?
Just like haircuts and clothes, tattoos are part of how you choose to present yourself.
It is weird that this discussion even came up since no one said he looks stupid or he made a mistake. They said it was an ugly tattoo and the reasons given were that the letters were done poorly. If tattoos have any art involved, then they are fair game for such criticism.
While I am not a fan of tattoos, I do respect the art involved. Some tattoos are poorly done.
for starters, my position has consistently been, as long as rajon likes it, thats all that matters.
considering mocking, teasing, or simply talking about someone, based on their appearance is immature in my book. but you consider it "fair game for such criticism". i guess we can agree to disagree.
There is a big difference between making fun of someone because their face has unpleasant proportions, for example, and talking about a poorly done tattoo. There is nothing immature about critiquing a bad tattoo. Is it immature to critique a painting because it meant something to the painter?
Instead of generalizing your argument, is it okay if I point out where your argument makes sense? There are posts criticizing the use of Asian characters using argument like 'I would want a word in a language I understand'. This is a shallow argument since if we are discussing meaning, the meaning to the wearer is what is significant.
But we can also critique tattoos based on aesthetics, just as we critique art. If tattoo artists consider tattoos art, then they understand that they are open to critique. If you decide to decorate yourself in a particular way, same thing.
Another thing for the Asian character critics, fashion is prone to fads. Asian tattoos is a fad. It is in style. Time will tell how long this lasts, just like Kangols and swede Pumas. The problem with tattoo fads is that it is much easier to change your hat. Still, it is still fashionable, so spending a lot of time criticizing it just means you don't get the fashion. Nothing wrong with that, but criticisms from someone completely out of touch with the tattoo subculture are a bit hollow.
