Wait, do you know anything about the history of tattoos or are you just spitting out rubbish? It's hard to know the difference.
Tattoos have spiritual/religious significance in many, many cultures. |
I'm not talking about tribal cultures that use tattoos as rites of passage or spiritual symbols.
I'm talking about the idiots who get a yin-yang, random Chinese / Japanese character, girlfriend's name, sun, or other symbol inked on themselves for the sake of being trendy and "unique." In the context of America and Europe, these currently constitute the vast majority of tattoos, as far as I know.

In the context of Western culture, they generally were such a symbol until little comfortably bohemian turds started trying to pattern themselves after the lower social strata for the sake of being "cool."
I'm talking about European cultures here, no one else. |

exactly, and for some reason when the person tattoo's their partners name on them it jinx's the relationship and it's over before you know it. |

I disagree that it somehow jinx's the relationship, but the majority of people that get them are in unstable relationships to begin with, and therefore end up getting it just before they break up. |

When he comes home to show her... her stuff is cleared from their home. |

Hmm that is true about them being in an unstable relationship. Whatever I just think it's ing stupid. What do you get out of the tattoo? Nothing. |

Getting your partner's name tattooed on you is no crazier than having a big ceremony to magically join yourselves together in the eyes of "God."
Both are tacky, and equally painful/expensive to remove. |

The only thing that I think Steve-O has ever done that was truly hilarious was get "Your Name" tattooed on his ass.
