Are some tats just way over the line?

I've seen some guys, and women too, with huge portions of their bodies tattooed. I'm not talking about a Tweety Bird on the rump, but full body tats on the neck arms legs. & torso. I don't like tats, and I think they destroy the beauty of the human body. have you seen some of the tattooed people? What do you think about those huge tats?

BTW, start taking pics of 20 year old guys wearing buns. Get as many pics as you can. Then in 15-16 years from now, you contact them, and if they don't cough up cash, you'll sell the pics to their teenage sons.
 

Most tats I've seen, I don't much like. I have seen a few that cover a decent part of the body that look like a mural and some look pretty nice; for now. I agree with others that once these people age they're gonna perhaps regret having them. I wouldn't get one myself. As I understand it, they're pretty expensive as well.
 
Maybe this 1960's painting of a tattooed man (later used as a book cover illustration for a collection of short stories by a famous American author) had something to do with the current plague of tattooed bodies we see everywhere today:

Both my daughter, son, and SIL, have tats. I love the tats and would get some but my skin is too fragile. What people do with their bodies is their business. How many grey haired old woman and men die their hair?

How many woman and men wear makeup, use figure enhancers, and on and on. I donā€™t understand how people have become so judgmental. People should only worry about how they look and leave the rest of the human race alone.
 
I was at a water park several years ago and saw a guy with a huge almost photographic tattoo on his back that couldn't be called anything but hard core porn. It was "graphic" and spared no details.

A park employee was telling him that he had to put on a shirt or leave. He was arguing about his rights. Finally he put on his t-shirt. Later, I see him again, sans shirt. Again he is told to don a shirt. I see him again without his shirt and this time he is being escorted out.

Badly enough, he was at the park with a woman and two young kids! Kids.

I have a hidden tattoo. I don't mind tattoos. If they're ugly enough, I don't have to look at them, but that one went over the line, especially in a place with children.....

What others do to their bodies is their own business, but I don't think it's judgemental if you keep your thoughts to yourself. There isn't one tattoo that I have seen that has inspired me to want to get a tattoo of my own.

This young lady is a plus size model, her name is Tess Holliday, Google it and you will see her tattoos. Don't worry, she's a genuine model and doesn't do anything that is, as they say, not safe for work.

If there are any restrictions on the kind or the nature of tattoos by either society or the government, then can we really claim "it's our body to tattoo as we please"? The evidence says otherwise. People have routinely lost jobs, both in the private and public sectors over a tattoo. Now, some will claim, "I accept all tattoos - except for x-y-z tattoos. Those should be forbidden!" If so, then no tattoo should be above criticism or escape being used as the reason to fire someone from their job. As I see it, accept all tattoos or be labeled a hypocrite.

I have a cousin who's son has "Fear God" in large letters tattooed on his face, his cheeks just below his eyes... For me, that is way over.

The kid had trouble with drugs and the law when he was younger, that's when he got the tattoos. Now he is turning things around and I think the tattoos are a real liability. Don't know if anyone can get rid of a tattoo like that...

A perfect example of a passive-aggressive attention whore.
