Tattoos a trend? People have been getting tattoo for centuries. That's like saying wearing jeans is a trend
Why don't YOU have a tattoo or body mod? Vol. Everybody's doing it...

Tats have become more popular and there does seem to be a group of people getting them just to fit in/be cool. I know this has been going on forever but it seems more prevalent nowadays - maybe we just notice it more in the internet age.
I like tats and have 2 (soon to be 3) but I do think some tats are pretty stupid but I dont lose sleep over it

Well in your case, there is no point.
But the big misconception people have not only with tattoo's but with life in general is that everyone has different morals, goals, and roads for what we call life.
I'm not saying you have this misconception but I'm just speaking generally from what I've encountered online and offline.
One man gets a tattoo, lives a long, prosperous, successful life. Another man doesn't get a tattoo and lives the complete opposite.
A lot of people think that the moment you get something put on your body you and your life changes. When in reality, you're the same damn person you were before you sat down in that chair
I understand people just don't think its for them, and I completely 100% respect and understand that. But some others act and think as if a tattoo will effect your life in way more ways than it really does, which is none.
If you have your life and priorities straight, a tattoo ain't gon' change a damn thang.
I never said getting a tattoo was going to change anything in regards to my life.
But as I said, I see no tangible purpose to getting one. So why would I?
You kind of OD'd there homie. It ain't that deep.
It was more so reading through the thread that led to my rant.
I was responding to your question (which was rhetorical but w/e) when I said there is no point. Because I agree that in your position, there is no point if its something you truly don't want.
The rant had nothing to do with your statements, but I wasn't about to double post with another response to the thread

This should be quoted everytime this question is asked.
When I read that I was like damn who thinks like this? That whole misconception are for ppl who are deluded. Just thinking a tat will change who you are as a person is ridiculous.
You'd be surprised my dude. I've talked to people online and offline about tattoo's and some people think way more into it than it really is. They think that if they get a tatt on their arm or back or chest and think that their world will come crashing down or something. I didn't quite understand their logic.

I feel the same; never getting one, although I'm fascinated by excellent work.
As for my body modifications, I've got ear plugs in both my ears.

This either doesn't make sense or is horribly phrased.
