Tattoos With Meaning

Good afternoon, Shroomerites
Today I was talking to a friend about tattoos with meaning and I was wondering what you guys think.
Do you think that all tattoos should have a meaning and be linked to the person in some way?
Or do you think that tattoos do not need to have a meaning, And that getting a tattoo because you like the design is reason enough?

im one of few, i would assume. i really dont like tattoos at all. they are just ugly to me and they only get uglier with age. nothing worse on a good looking girl that a big ugly tattoo.
there is def some stupid tattoos out there though..

they will remind you of a period of your life regardless of what the tat is,
but its also good for the image to have meaning so you can answer the question 'whyd u get that?!?!?' better than 'it looked good'

I think you'd want to think long and hard getting one with a meaning because how long is that meaning going to hold true to you?
A year or two down the line,it might be a reminder of something awful that you DO NOT want on your body.
For a year or two a few years ago,I wanted a laughing Buddha on my shoulder. "This was it",I thought. Fast forward those two years and I found out the laughing Buddha wasn't it at all.
Thank god I didn't get it.

The only thing I'd get would be something to do with mushrooms/acid.
Even then,I don't want to shoot myself in the foot by having something like that on my body. Maybe symbols of it that can't directly be recognised as it...

I wonder if a last will and testament could be made legally binding if it was tattooed on your chest.

I've got one of the Aphex Twin "A" in a circle, and I'm gonna get one of an octopus my little sister drew when she was like 3; They don't have to mean anything, as long as they're not completely retarded. But some people like nice1 will always think they're all retarded.
I agree with what jimtown said

I don't think they are retarded but you shouldn't think that in 10 years your going to feel the same way you did for how ever long the buzz lastede of getting a tat then your stuck with it.
Also I have to question what motivates someone to get a tattoo anyway. Biggest motivation I can think of is to show off to people.
Do I like show-offs? No I don't.

most of my original ink was under my clothes where you would never see.
now that i ran out of room there, im sleeved up and have a few on my neck too.
i've had some of my tattoos for over a decade, and don't regret any of them.
how about you just don't get tattoos because you don't feel like it, and i will continue to get tattoos because i do feel like it.

I like my tattoos they all mean some thing to me accept for the one on my foot I got while drunk as fuck in my kitchen by some guy that was super high on meth, but I still like it any how
-------------------- blankk said to fee: btw you're a total fucking psychedelic pimp Turtletotem said: I want to become a sun worshipper, so next time an atheist smugly asks me where god is, I can point smugly at the sun and laugh my ass off. Then I drive away in my solar powered piece of shit car, cool stuff man. And then I go kill a bitch because the flaming orb in the sky told me to do so, and I don't know, oppress a few minorities here and there in the name of nuclear fusion? Religion is fun.

it will always remind me of my spiritual path in life, and my father who passed away this past summer.
even when i am old and wrinkly. though that won't happen for a long long time, cuz yoga is the fountain of youth
