Lots of people comment tattooed people = bad people, why is that?
Do you agree?
Do you have a tattoo? What is it? What does it mean?

hi there happysuchinelily. wow long name...lol having tattooed doesnt mean that people is bad. we have that thinking because of most of the prisoners got their tattoo inside the jail. now some people look at the tattoo as part of art. but most of the people dont accept it because u need to hurt your self 1st before u have it, and some people think look as if the tattoo is a dirt on our skin too. me on my own opinion it is better to leave our skin clean and neat, because this is body and soul. i dont have tattoo and i dont even dont like scar on my skin or any art or design on my skin. But i also have some friends have their small tattoo and find it cute to them :) happy my lotting

I don't have tattoo's, but I don't think you're a bad person if you do. My son just turned 18 and he has a tattoo on his neck and on both forearms. He works full time, is going to college in the fall, and is a very caring person. Beauty comes from within.

I don't agree.
I am a good, hard working, honest, loyal person. I'm kind to animals, I don't litter, I am polite.
I have 3 tattoos.
I'll probably have more.
I already have some ideas.
my partner, who is the sweetest, kindest, most loving man I've ever met, also has several tattoos. he's currently having a full sleeve worked on.
tattoos don't give any indication that someone is a bad person.
they may give you ideas of their interests, things they are passionate about, things they like looking at, and so on, but it doesn't mean they are bad at all.
from my tattoos you can tell I like bats, the film moulin rouge, and the foo fighters.
(I have a bat on my lower back, the words Freedom, Beauty, Truth & Love on one foot, and on my wrist, as done on friday, the word Everlong. Everlong will be our first dance at our wedding.
I plan to have a borage flower on my hipbone through my interest in herbalism, and an anklet depicting the lunar cycle around the opposite ankle to the writing on my other foot.

I think it's because years and years ago, you only got a tattoo if you had been in prison. Now, anyone of the right age can get one done. One of my friend's mum doesn't like anyones tattoo no matter what it is and when I asked her why, she said that only criminals get tattoos and it's one tattoo for each sin or crime they had commited. so to her, when ever someone got a tattoo, it was to show that they had been bad.

I think it has to do with actors/actresses playing the antagonist wearing tattoos.also,some of the actors who play as prisoners have tattoos in their bodies.I don't really think that a person with tattoo/es is bad or evil.I see tattoo as an expression of themselves.it is their way of seeing themselves in pictures.

i have a tattoo and would like to have another. it's sad how some people have the notion that when someone has a tattoo, you are a bad person. someone actually told me that a tattoo is a mark that once in your life you have been temporarily insane. wtf? maybe it's true but who are they to say that because as people, we may have been temporarily insane even once in our lives. other people may not resort to tattooing, they may resort to other things like shopping or whatever. :) for me having a tattoo is like telling a story to people without saying a word. people may interpret it differently, but i, myself know what it means so in the end it doesn't matter what they think. i'd like to have a part of my life or a part of me imprinted on my skin because i think that it's beautiful.

i don't have a tattoo but i can say, tattoo doesn't mean you are bad, i have some friends of mine who have tattoo's and they are just like anyone else, though there are some guys out there the mean ones wearing tattoos but that doesn't mean every tattoo guy is a bad one!
