Idk… I typically find people with tattoos less aesthetically pleasing to look at.
Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I agree. The bare skin looks better imo, although I’ve met a handful of people who have tasteful tattoos that complement their looks. It’s too much of an aesthetic balancing act for just anyone to pull off.
Fleur_@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
My caveat to that is that nobody pulls it off permanently

the same goes for me for all makeup & decorations

Personally: They can be tasteful but often arent.
On my GTA 5 character I have a butterfly moth as a full back piece. I could consider getting them but only as a small piece on my leg or something as it’s way to edgy for a full piece.
Same for most other pieces.Fleur_@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Imo the only people who look good with tats are people who looked good anyways.

They couldn’t be much more popular than what they already are. Seems that nowdays it’s rare to not have any.

Only among people who get tattoos for others…
For lots of people something as permanent as a tattoo isn’t done to increase other’s views, it’s for a personal reason.

Most tattoos just look bad. They stopped being cool a long time ago, old women and conservatives get them now. Most of the time when I see them I think “wow you had disposable income in your early 20s, that’s so cool”.

There are few possible non-political comments I could disagree with more.

What kind of plant/flower tattoo(s) do you have?

Not all people with tattoos are trashy, but all trashy people have tattoos.
jumping_redditor@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
they fit with certain aesthetics (mostly other tattoos and piercings) and not much else, but on people with their entire upper body covered in tattoos it can work well

In the US it’s probably going to be the flip. I like running around naked like anyone else would, but it’s not as accepted here in the States as opposed to tattoos, and those are only still kind of accepted. I still get glances for mine and once received a church invitation from a lady I worked with. Lol

I bet it’d also cause a huge comeback for those rub-on tattoos you used to get with bubblegum.

Don’t know about tats, but I have a feeling obesity wouldn’t be quite as popular if the way of expression was your body instead of your clothes

Absolutely not, but I might get back in the gym.

Mandatory nudity probably would improve general public health… for a while. Eventually, though, laziness would win and then we’d all be sorry.

It would not improve public health up here in Canada, it would increase cases of frostbite.

Or not. Who wants to show off their tattooed mishaps?
remon@ani.social 2 weeks ago
Mh … doesn’t look like it.
The US seems to have more tattoos than France of Germany, even though the later countries have a much larger nudist culture.
themeatbridge@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I’m glad you have data, because I was just thinking that cultural attitudes towards tattoos and nudity don’t seem to be related, but I can’t prove that.
remon@ani.social 2 weeks ago
I don’t think there is a connection, either that’s why I did a quick check of there even is a correlation.
Also having been to to nudists events and resorts several times I’d say tattoos are less prelevant than in the general population (Also a lot of nudists are seniors which seem to have fewer tattoos in general as well).
MangoCats@feddit.it 2 weeks ago
Personally, a lot of tattooed people I know get them in places where they “won’t be seen.” If they were nudists, they’d probably not get them at all.
