Tattoos — Page 2

wow jim i just have to say that there are many ppl who got or wanted tatoos before 911 and in many cases ppl who do get tatoos in reference to that awful day are trying to remind themselves of their loved ones that died, and this show of love for those who have died is not even pertaining to 911, one of my friends lost his brother in a boat accident last year, and he got a memorial tatoo over his heart. i dont really feel that anyone who wasnt thinking abouta tatoo or lost someone in 911 before 911 decided "omg i definatly gotta go get a tatoo now" in many ways i think that was the last thing on ppls minds...

Every generation has to find a way to rebel against the preceding one. One generation's tattoo's are another's long hair...just a little more permanent.

As with anything, it's possible to overdo a good thing, but I find the occasional tattoo to be appealing. Unfortunately, I think a lot of younger people have run out and gotten tattoos that they won't be happy with in five or ten years...and that could be problematic for them. But disgusting? Nah...

As for that movie, BSo...

I'm Jewish, so obviously that movie is a very touchy subject, and obviously tattoos are hence a very touchy subject for a lot of people with close ties to the Holocaust. BUT, on the other hand, I don't think it's necessarily something that anyone should be trying to push on others. Like it or not, like iflit said, tattoos have become a part of American culture, beginning as an act of rebellion. The origin of them had absolutely nothing to do with the Holocaust, and nor does their creation as a part of American culture. Tattoos in this sense are not forced upon people, but rather a form of artistic expression. I understand where you're coming from, but it's sort of a completely different issue, in general terms.
