recently was hiring an assistant, got ~100 applicants. One said, it was the only job on the job board that didn't require a college degree. So these applicants were fucking shocking to me. I live in the midwest and figured I'd end up with some early 20's gal looking for some office experience. She'd work for me for a year or two, get married and fuck off to pump out kids.
1st interview: overweight girl wearing about a half pound of makeup, tattoo visible near collarbone. Arabic writing. 2nd Interview, early 20's manages the office for some national photography company. Giant blue floral tattoo all around her elbow going down midway to wrist and midway to top of arm. 3rd applicant. 40's no visible tattoos, however wouldn't stop talking about how hard it was to be a single mother. Guessing she had at least 1 tattoo under her walmart clothes.
How much of this shit must I bear, are there any women out there that just want an easy job while they find a man to lock down?
It's trendy bullshit that will become less popular with generations to come. People are generally just getting them to fit in with their ingroup or because they are on an IV-drip of social media influencers convincing them to do so. It's not hard to see why there's an appeal; take an average, boring looking dude and cover him in tats, and you've suddenly got someone who looks "interesting", "tough", or "artistic" or something along those lines. Pic related.
Influencers (not just the social media influencers of today, mind you) took it upon themselves to cultivate the image of a tatted up person as having such characteristics. This is just another form of guerilla marketing. There will always be people who fall for these kinds of tactics and immediately latch on to the next trend for whatever reason; whether it is to stay current, or because they believe following a given trend will grant them a new image.
The interesting thing about tattoos is that it really took quite awhile for the taboo around them to be alleviated. Being aware of the way marketing tactics can shift our cultural perceptions like this is probably pretty relevant to Zig Forums related discussion.
this garbage is what gets me the most, really. There is no thought whatsoever on getting one, just impulse. Its disheartening, to say the least. I want to tear down tattoo parlors and go on a propaganda battle against getting them on your skin
You and I both know that how people see it today vs back then, is utterly different. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to get a tattoo, unless you are scum, or a larping Pagan

You can be an ultimate badass without tattoos and probably more so cause no one will assume anything
And only beaners do that cause beaners are all insecure little manlets

The whole ancient tattoo thing was a myth. Only warriors and soldiers and slaves would have had them, everyday commoners and farmers and tradesmen which made up the majority of people wouldn't have had them, of course that's not the first group you're going to meet when you're Roman and encountering Celts and Picts for the first time. People only know from history the 1% or so of things that stood out but forget that 99% of everyone and everything was boring and standard as shit because people are just trying to survive and not die each day

Just like back then, tattoos presumably served many purposes. Religious, ritual, as a mark of social/tribal/military ranking, "healing", organizational or as marking of an individuals achievements or his role and many others. As back then, today there is many good reasons why to get a tattoo. Only question here is about the meaning and reason you are getting it. "I just liked it" is not a good reason and most of the criticism itt is applicable in such case.
False. If you would have said that only men had them, you would be closer to the truth.

Sounds like a fantastic idea, until your autistic ass gets run over by traffic while you're browsing /a/ on your mobile and you wreck the MRI machine at the hospital because they had the bad judgement to not let you bleed out on the street.
Tyler Cox
Well more than a few known instances of women having them.
Robert Taylor
That won't happen unless its a nigger hospital. In which case where did they steal an MRI from and how did they keep it running?
White people know to do a magnetics check on a patient before throwing them in an MRI

WOW PEOPLE WITH INDIVIDUALITY SYNDROME WANT TO STAND OUT MUST BE A JEW CONSPIRACY Take your meds.
