Why don't conservatives have tattoos?

Yep, this is the mentality of those of us who are 60 plus in years and the mores of the time. In the 60's & 70's & maybe 80's there was a hepatitis risk assosiated with piercings and tattoos. Until recently, I have always thought of myself as a liberal. No tats or piercings here. Not conservative but I am old school for the most part.

Some of us still think tattoos are tacky. To the younger generation, I don't care what you do to your body just have a care. What seems like a good idea now may be one you regret later.

Because you don't put bumper stickers on a Mercedes.

Your statements are completely true -- and thank you for sharing your personal experiences and insights.

I actually have many not-so-fond memories of people being shamed for something as minor as using dye to cover up gray hairs, myself, too (and that's likely why I had such a negative reaction to the AC's comment). In light of all of that, I think that society's change in attitude towards people's hygienic and stylistic choices has been a good thing, for the most part. As such, I should clarify that I meant that the original commenter's post seemed ridiculous in this specific day and age, and that it also seemed preposterous (and almost "sinfully" judgemental) for them to falsely assume that "almost all" people get tattoos for sinfully vain reasons.

But, yes, the Great Depression definitely had a long-lasting impact on society' attitudes, and people really did have to walk a fine line, just as you said.

Wow, chill! Do you want to be the one to place a stone around someone's neck?

I really don't think whether or not someone has piercings or tattos will determine if they will enter the kingdom of heaven. I don't have them but I will not condemn them.

OP

You are so stooopid

I'm a former Military Vet
and most all of my fellow operators voted Trump
and are all covered in tats and sleeves...

Take a look around twat ! we are conservatives !
we are operators and the like we wear our ink and are proud !

Conservative member of the #TrumpTrain here. Four tattoos and more on the way. Thanks.

Conservatives are generally not followers. Also it
is a waste of money. I especially go out of my way
not to follow commercial fads. They ALWAYS go out of
style and anyone over 40 begins to look stupid.

my brother and i dont have tats.
he's a minister, i am currently in transition as i lost my mom after many years of sacrifice taking care of her. it was an honor.
despite being raised by a single mom neither of us wound up in jail or got into drugs. both served a bit in the military.
we grew up poor sure... but that isn't an excuse to be a fuck up.
about tats? i cant justify spending money on them personally. also i have no statements or affiliation to prove to others that i cannot express verbally.
do i care about what others do? nope. not if it doesn't impact me or my own.
met many people, women especially who regret having them.

combat I hope, memorializing a DI making you cry is no reason to get tagged.

are you getting an arrow pointed at your butthole?

:ohlook:

Another tattoo shit post pinned no less.

Lol... They are both related to the platoon I was in.

I grew up knowing the only acceptable tattoos were ones you got when you served in any branch of the military and that was earned.

To me, there's too many tattoos.. in fact almost all of them should be a fucking t-shirt.

How the fuck are you gonna walk around with blue flames on your neck region for the rest of your life? I knew of a beautiful girl that did that but I guess it went along with her partying whoring lifestyle so whatever..

I was in court as juror the other day and the prosecutor was an older guy, I'd say upper 60s and i notice he had tattoos on the top of his hand. I couldn't make out what the tattoos were like i wasn't even listening to him anymore but just staring at that ugly gob of discoloration on his hand but i thought that was an odd place to put a tattoo. Could have been a military tattoo but to me any exposed region outside of formal wear is not a good place to put one if you have to have it...

Tattoos look like shit when you get old. You have to live with that for the rest of your life.

And more and more I see people with tats that look like shit. Yeah I can't help but cringe and notice how it looks like shit and I may think twice about involving them in any project or service I may need because it is an example of their decision making.

Honestly, whenever I see someone with tattoo's I think cheap and a follower. To each their own.

Exactly.

I know some who do.

I am conservative and have tattoo's. I even got one because of politics when Obama was first elected. I have a gagsden flag on my calf. Don't trend on me. Liberty or death

I'm sure the authorities love that so many people are now covering themselves with distinguishing marks. I always wondered why criminals got themselves tatted up, when all it did was make it easier for law enforcement officers to identify them.

How many do they have? Like a few odd ones here and there, or entire sleeves, hand, neck tattoos, etc?

But they probably got them why they were much younger and liberal.

I would most certainly love to provide assurance to all that you are free of tattoos.

I'M JUST TELLING YOU THE TRUTH, NOT HANDING DOWN A JUDGEMENT. THEY PUNISHED THEMSELVES IN ONE OF THE WORST WAYS POSSIBLE, SELF-MUTILATION. THAT'S PUNISHMENT ENOUGH.

PART OF THE PROBLEM OF OUR CURRENT ERA IS THE COMPLETE ABNEGATION OF REALITY. NO ONE EVER CALLS A SPADE A SPADE AND WHEN SOMEONE DOES IT IS A GREATER OUTRAGE THAN THE OUTRAGE ITSELF.

It is also the opposite.

A tattoo can prove your innocence,
if you are falsely accused.

Without tattoos you look exactly like any sheep in the flock.

Same reason theres no solar powered flashlights.

Conservative here.....tattooed...mostly to cover up scars...some just because I wanted them. I draw them myself and have no flash art or the "pick one off the wall" art. Has nothing to do with a political or philosophical angle. If you want to judge...fine by all means, but better keep it to yourself or on the safety of the internet. Saying stupid shit to tattooed people in public might not be a wise decision.

Now, now, the title of your thread was "Why don't conservatives have tattoos?" implying that they had NONE.

I think tats are disgusting, but I am a Christian and we should not mark our bodies, says so in the Bible.

Which makes me smh when all the Spanish guys have tats of crosses and Jesus all over them, they're breaking the law and don't even know it.

I am a consevative with a MBA and Ihave full sleves. I am 41 andrecently retired from the military.. You would be surprized if you saw some profesionals in a tee-shirt or at the beach..
