    What is an earned tattoo, exactly?

    There is definitely a subsect of tattoo folks who hate the “clipart” type style of smaller tattoos without a larger theme, but who really fucking cares.

  2. never once have I said to myself, *”I wonder what Russell Crowe’s opinion on _____ is!”*

    I used to think the same until I got my first tattoo while studying abroad.

    Like everything in life, you can certainly overdo it and tattoos are no exception… But for the most part, I think it’s nice that people can have meanings associated with their tattoos and there’s really no harm being done to anybody

  4. WTF is an “earned tattoo”? Like, only convicts, hell’s angels and military can get them?

    Mmhm. Every time I get a tattoo I think to myself “did earn this? what would Russell Crowe think”

    I’m confused about the boomer lingo. I would ask someone to translate, but honestly, I don’t think I care about what he has to say about anything.

    And really, does anyone?

    ( this was prob 25 years ago) i had a patient i was assisting her with her bath one day. she was sitting at the edge of the bed and i saw “dirt” on her abdomen and attempted to wash it off but it wouldn’t come off. i looked closed and it was a tattoo of a little sewing machine! she said her and her daughter and granddaughter all got sewing machine tattoos b/c they all liked to sew. thought this was so cute. 🪡

    When I got my first tattoo before the artist would do it he gave a speech on how it could effect my life not being able to get certain jobs and being judged by people and made sure I was ok with that. These days that’s not necessary but it once was tattoos are just art now but once they were a life style. It’s better the way it is now obviously.

  10. Ngl, I think those types of tattoos look stupid af too. So I don’t get tattoos that are stupid af and let other people do what they want 🤷‍♂️

    I think the same thing but keep it to myself because it’s not my life or body

  12. pretty sure you earn a tattoo by paying the tattoo artist to tattoo you but maybe im woefully unaware of how the tattoo economy works

    This is funny and self aware, and the kind of petty, harmless whining that I like in my celebrity tweets
