Unpopular opinions

[Megatron1505]

Ben - It's worse because buying someone else's history in place of creating your own doesn't sit well with me, I cannot make it any simpler than that.

Guys, I stated an unpopular opinion, it remains my opinion and clearly from the response it is entirely in the correct thread.

What began as a response asking for clarification now seems to be people wanting to argue against it or attempt to change my opinion (by some), which has clearly been stated as prohibited in the thread as it has lead to arguments before.

The opinions in this thread stand, regardless of whether you agree with them or not.

If anyone wishes to debate this with me privately I am all ears.

I'm not trying to argue or debate, I'm genuinely curious.

[grandmasterben]

Just giving my opinion.

[Seul]

I'm not gonna debate you, Jerry.

Then PM me and satisfy your curiosity

@Megatron1505 you're one of the best at this thread by far, time and time again.

[Seul]

[Snowy]

Okay @Seul I'll give you a pity Un-Pop?

Tattoos with a meaning or story sucks.

Any reason for the opinion, or just because (like meaning-less tatts? ::) )

How about something that looks good is well done and has some meaning? Or perhaps just looking good and well done is meaning enough? [emoji57]

A tattoo completely without meaning is like the equivalent of totally objective research; does not exist..

[Snowy]

I'm just interested in if @JCMx800 has a more detailed thought behind the opinion or if it's to stand by itself (which is can quite happily just be a statement in itself)

Yes any mark made consciously/purposely must bear some meaning…

All my tats have a meaning or story … but I don't know which 

[Megatron1505]

When I was 19 I got a Harley Davidson tattoo…..because I like Harley Davidson bikes (cool story bro  )

[grandmasterben]

I agree with jcm since it seems like most people try to spin some life story they have into a tattoo. You might love your grandma who died as she was observing birds, her lifelong passion, but that doesn't mean you should get a tattoo of it… of course you can get a dope tattoo that has meaning, but I think it's more rare than choosing a tattoo for the sole reason that it's aesthetically pleasing.

[Snowy]

^But what you find aesthetically pleasing is likely a result of your unique up bringing, and if you wanted to go into it, there's probably a story behind why you find it pleasing too ::).

[grandmasterben]

Yeah for sure. I just mean trying to turn something "important enough for a tattoo" into something aesthetically pleasing. It's not always going to turn out good… People are just brainwashed into thinking tattoos need to have a really deep meaning so they go searching for one
