Jailhouse Tattoos And The Lionization Of Penitentiary Culture (1 Viewer)

Is this a get off my lawn moment or is this a legitimate question? 

Why must I: 

a) approve of your utterly second-grade body art as the inked up version of haute couture?

b) be subjected to your utter body desecration everywhere you go, in my face, with no way to avoid it because my eyes work?

c) feel like a stupid fuddy duddy for holding the opinion that: 

    1) It's ugly

    2) Your aesthetic sense sucks angry, purple-nubbed ##### or ****

    3) Your temperament probably sucks

    4) The show you watch probably sucks

Anyway, thanks. I'll hang up and listen to the merits of ballpoint pen ink tattoos lionized in the women's mags these days.  

 
You guys are just posting tattoo pictures. Very lazy. Sad.

Make America Jail Again

Hot chicks with tattoos are hot.  But hotter without.  The tattoo is irrelevant.  Put one up with a face tattooo that says "whore" and it's different. 

 
I've never been to jail but I've always understood prison tattoos to be permanent ones applied using a needle and ink without the niceties you find outside like tattoo guns, autoclaves, etc.

Yes. Thank you. Ball point ink tattoos and branding and stuff like that.  

 
And here I thought you supported things like basic personal freedoms. Their body, their choice etc.

But you have the right to your opinion so, good for you?

JAILHOUSE TATTOOS. NOT TATTOOS.

the problem here, RA, is that most of the newfangled tattoo folks get horrendous flash work done at rinky dink shops, and it is as putrid as the prison penned ones - buddy of mine needed coin, so overnighted at a shop of that ilk on 6th ave ... first weekend of the month he would make a fortune - mostly Chinese symbols, teardrops, baby momma names, slogans/words of 'wisdom', barbed wire, etc   it pained him to shun his aesthetic, but he had bills to pay.

i see these numb nutz all over the place, and it's hysterical ... i never regret getting all of my ink, but these twats make the whole premise seem ####### ridiculous.

I do support things like basic personal freedoms. I also think that publicly demonstrating one's self in the form of body modification almost impels opinion, in a way, to the viewer. Otherwise, why have it so public? 

Could it (the sentiment behind the ink) not otherwise be internally done if so personally sacred? It is an external relationship with the public, i.e., the viewer, that makes the visual "conversation," as it were, social in a way. It is a demand on the viewer. Otherwise, get it drawn up and hung on a wall or put in a desk drawer. Nope. That's skin. 

Or, as one of the kings of tattooing, Dave Navarro and Jane's Addiction would say, "Everybody has their own opinion. Everybody has their own opinion. I was holding it back it hurt so bad. Jumping out of my skin and I said...cash in!"

Yeah, this wasn't meant as an anti-tat thread. 

This was meant as a very specific form of tattooing that has been a little haute now for some years and involves ballpoint tattooing and other forms of self-modification that don't require good needles, necessarily. I'm thinking of stuff even worse than the uncreative stuff that you're talking about. 

It's sort of an aesthetic that borders on the absurd. White tattoos, pen tattoos, etc.  

 
This thread was also meant to be a place where you can say the premise of Orange Is The New Black is as dumb as any other chick show. Bunch of lesbian gang members in prison. Yay women's magazines!

 
Once I got a teardrop tat under my eye nobody ##### with me at work evah!
