I wouldn't go that are. Coming from a broken home? Where do you get your information? Do what I did. I did a bit of research and found that income and level of education have a direct correlation.

Rich sportsmen get them

Tattoos are one of several predictors of behavior, although not a hard and fast rule to classify people.

Swagger is another one, I'm talking about literal swagger when walking.

Walking like Conor McGregor, that is: like a guy with a feeling of confidence that walking into the Dollar Store knowing you have a ten dollar bill brings.

Talking very loudly in public places, especially when using profanity or bragging.

Often these 3 go together.

 

Now some people think of all these as indicating someone they would like to spend time with socially.

I don't.

Correlation is not causation and not all people with tattoos fit the stereotypes given. Its also undeniable that women love them, even if the tattoos are stupid

Yea, it's undeniable? LOL, you are joking right? Maybe the kind of cheap women that are good for a throw but you'd hope would either just shut or leave after the deed. LOL.

Nope, it's an indication of being low class and coming from a broken home.

Or maybe having at least one mentally ill parent?

That's your opinion, and wrong. Class, again, has nothing to do with having tattoos, or not having them. There are a large majority of people, many coming from two parent homes, who are lowlifes, even if they're wealthy. Taught to use others by their parents. These people aren't considered low class, but they actually are, and many have tatts.  There are many people who are wealthy that have tatts, and many that are poor, and it has nothing to do with intelligence . Broken homes can lead to bad behavior, as can intact homes. It all depends on the person themselves, and what choices they make, and where they want to go in life. There are thousands of expats here that have tattoos. Are they all low class and from broken homes? I would think they are ll from all walks of life, and all home situations. 

 

As I and others have explained in this and other tatt topics. you can't judge anyone who has tattoos because you don't know why they have them. Again, as others have also said, there are many who are well off in high positions that have tatts, from ministers and priests, to politicians, doctors, judges and lawyers, as well as gang members and street thugs. I've seen mental illness in many people who are considered outstanding citizens we all have. The Epsteins, Trumps, Putin's, Hitlers, Kims Pol Pots, Kardashians, Cosbys, Dahmers, and Bundys, all had friends and neighbors who thought they were okay people, until we learned otherwise.

So, all women are cheap, good for a throw and should be tossed aside after the deed? Too bad women didn't know this about certain men before they slept with them, as the world's population would decrease every year by the thousands.

Class comes not only from money but how you carry yourself.

 

Doesn't come from either, though latter (if expanded to include good manners) is of more significance than the former.

Yes, like I said, how you carry yourself. That means manners, how you treat others, having good self esteem,

Mostly, yes.But I don't see how broken homes are relevant.Many people of class have broken homes

Actually that is not true.No doubt there are some but in the UK at least very very few.By the way priests are not people of high position.

[Furioso]

Tats = Trash

[Yellowtail]

Mostly, people that get tatted-up are sheep. 

 

I think it hilarious when I see old guys (or gals) with newish tats. Wussies their whole lives and then all of the sudden they're wannabe badasses.

It actually is true, as I mentioned earlier. I worked out in gyms for 50 years. Most of that time 3 days a week or more, including working at 6 gyms. I saw what goes into locker rooms, and knew many of the people personally, from either training or talking to them. They are a mixture of all positions and jobs, from the wealthy to the poor. A minister's position is a high position, as it's a leader, and money isn't always a factor of being in a high position.

How do you know they have been wussies all their lives? Do you personally know all of these people? Most people that get tats are into body art, and like having them on their bodies as they are a reflection of things they like. Of course some have them to try and instill fear into others, or consider themselves badasses because they have them, which isn't true. 

 

Tattoos don't make you anything but a person who likes body arts.  Body art doesn't make you a sheep, loser, low class, low IQ, trash, idiot or anything else others make opinions about. It makes you an individual, just like people who like sports, music, movies, crocheting or selling kool aid. To each his own. Who cares if people have tatts? They aren't any of anyone's business. 

 

Some judge others because of them, because of fear, anxiety, ignorance, jealousy or prejudice. People can do whatever they want, as long as it doesn't interfere in anyone else's lives, and having tattoos doesn't. People who judge others who aren't hurting others are usually hiding something they're guilty of, so deflect. "Who are you, to cast the first stone"?

It's amusing the way you make broad, boneheaded claims and generalizations, but then you object when someone else make a claim or generalization you disagree with. I betting you're a leftist, yes? They're generally sheep as well. Can you say baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? 

 

In any event I did not say that all people that get tatted-up are sheep, or that all old guys (or gals) with newish tats were wussies their whole lives and then all of the sudden they're wannabe badasses.

 

I said that most all people that get tatted-up are sheep, and I said the old guys (or gals) with newish tats that I see were wussies their whole lives and then all of the sudden they're wannabe badasses.

I don't make broad,boneheaded claims. I'm simply telling things as they are, sticking up for those that have tattoos because, simply, you do not know these people personally and have no right to judge them. If you think you do, that's your prob and it is a problem. Not a leftist. I see things as they are without taking sides. It's called a neutral position, and I'm not biased either way, because both sides,seeing you brought politics into this, have good and bad ideas. Read what you wrote, and then think how it sounds. .........................

Most people, a generalization with no proof whatsoever.  The old guys and gals you see, you actually know nothing about right? How then can you judge them as being wussies who think they're badass? Many people judge others because of a personal experience with one or two they might know. Isn't fair to lump all is it?  I don't agree with any generalizations.

That seems like a broad, boneheaded claim to me. 

 

I know plenty of tatted-up people, why would you make a boneheaded assumption that I do not?

Have you ever looked at how the world is going? Do you maybe not realize all of today's problems start at home? Have you not seen greed, daily, since you were old enough to understand the meaning? Where does greed come from? Where do all sins originate? At home, and who has taken charge of this world? Is it the average man, or the poor? Who buys up all the land and develops it for greedy purposes? I'm thinking it isn't the average man or the poor. 

 

Break down what I wrote. There are a large majority of people "many" coming from two parent homes, who are lowlifes. This is true, and it doesn't mean the majority of people are lowlifes. Millions of people have, and are, using others, daily, in every country, and have been since time began, or do you think this is somehow a fair, clean, nice world? You might know many tatted up people, but personally, how many do you actually know personally that have been wussies all their lives and then try to be wannabe badasses? Not many I would suspect. Who's making the boneheaded assumptions? Not I.

As far as I can see all the UKs problems start with government policy.

Maybe, but the thinking started at home.
