Finally a kindred spirit! I feel like I'm the only one here who isn't sticking to that old school tattoos=trashy or "ruins" their "natural beauty" thing. I mean, to each their own but it's nice to see someone on my side lol
I think it's just that like any other thing, the ones that dislike it are the most vocal. Personally I grew up around biker culture and graduated high school in the late 90s, so the whole alt look just speaks to me.
Well... Depends on where and the quality, right? There are some tattoos that really looks like they've been done in prison with ballpen tincture...
And there are some that are so tacky, like... Script tattoos... Usually, it's some "eMpOwErInG" kitsch quote that makes my eyes roll...
And I also think tattoos ask for a certain style... now that tattoos are trendy, I see some people (in the real world) totally dressed as normies with usually some awkward tattoos (like some quote or name of a lover, some religious shit, or the drawing of a face of a kid or lover)... Kinda cringey for me...
For me it's all on a case-by-case basis... If it fits well, great; if not, pass... I have neither tattoophobia nor tattoophilia...
I have 5 tattoos myself, two of which I designed, and frankly i could care less what anyone but me thinks of them lol. I give people a lot of leeway when it comes to tattoos, but even I have my limits. Like if someone tattooed "Exit Only" on their ass, I'd probably look at them with a bit of contempt
Zoey should take Maya to get some tat's
It doesn't really suit her personality, but she could pull them off if she wanted.
As a teenager in the early 2000's the whole Emo/Scene look was real big, tatt's piercing's and bright colored hair, have to admit a bias for that even now. With VN's I usually just ignore the tatt's themselves since the variety may be limited but I love the general style and Intent.
Also, fuck yeah Mel!
Yeah same here, I graduated in the late 90s and was very into that look back then, and still am. Despite her horrible hair Mel is one of the hottest LIs in the game IMO.
I don't know if I can define why or why not I like certain tattoos. To me, they are a bit like art. I look at it and I like it or I don't.
Same here, I couldn't really tell you why I like tattoos so much but I do. Tattoos absolutely are art, just because they are inked on a living medium doesn't change that fact. I agree though, like any art it's all subjective.
