>>10885776tatoos are all about trying to be someone you aren't; to make part of a group, to feel rebelious - when you're being painfully average. It's something so obviously foolish that normies give them profound meaning so they don't look stupidly vain.
since people don't make part of a culture in which they use tatoos with a very defined meaning and purpose, people borrow it to look steal the 'cool' from cultures that actually use tatoos with defined meaning.
people do it to look cool, but it's only cool if it's permanent. it's brave to make a permanent mark on the skin, when it's totally accepted and promoted in our culture.
remember; before you see a tatoo on the skin, there's already many lies tatooed in the heart. cheap products of the culture.
