Do you all feel better about yourself when posting these rude comments. I just don't get it. If you don't like it or think it looks bad, why not just move on to the next thread.

I do think the OP has handled the criticism well and should be applauded for that.

If I did something really stupid and didn't realize how stupid it was, I would want people to tell me. I guess to each their own. I wouldn't want to be left in the dark here.

Stupid is clearly in the eye of the beholder.

It was, however, thoughtful and kind of you to provide OP this service.

Just imagine how amazing this world would be if everyone that has this infinite wisdom, would focus on utilizing that gift to better themselves.

I'll see what I can do for you. I am surprised everyone is so offended by people not liking the tattoo, it's obviously a personal thing, just shocked people expected praises or silence only.

To me, it's the fact that it is permanent. It's not like saying that shirt doesn't look so good on you. It's not an easy fix. That's my take on it.

You're absolutely correct, it is. Maybe he should put a poll.

A poll is only necessary if you actually care about what others think.

Since OP chose to put his actions on a public forum, anyone may make any comment...helpful, judgmental, polite, impolite, condemnatory...whatever.

It doesn't mean that OP gives a hoot what others think.

I wouldn't...:)

Not totally permanent, you can put one over it or painfully remove it.

I sure he doesn't care. So others shouldn't be so upset.

My Steve Jobs tattoo

Was waiting for a reply like this from you OP after I defended you a page or 2 back. :p
You didn't defend him, not even a little. You whined about the members on the board and how everyone is terrible. You did group the entire forum into one narrow minded bucket of bad, if that's what you meant by defending someone.

I believe when the OP started this thread, he was looking for opinions. I also believe, that most people on this forum would give their honest opinion, if asked face-to-face.
Perhaps but if be wanted and valued any opinion he wouldn't have the tattoo yet. It's not my cup of tea and I'm hardly young but not against tattoos, but I don't see the need to have the face of a CEO on my body. That's just me, really.

To say people who get tattoos have mental issues seriously suggests there is a mental issue but it's not with the guy/gal getting the tattoo.

Seeing as this forum has a zero humour policy, I'll reply in a more serious manner.

This is a stupid post. You do something and someone on the internet tells you how you should be living your life and proclaiming the things you do as stupid is NEVER going to get a positive reaction from yourself or the reaction you state you'd give. Never gonna happen. If that was the case, you'd never do anything because at least one person out there will think everything we do is stupid, especially on the wonderful anonymous world of the internet.

You bought a computer? Stupid. You post on an internet forum? Stupid. You watch sports? Stupid. You watch movies? Stupid. And so on and so on and so on.

The fact that you think its stupid carries zero weight whatsoever and the original poster will and has disregarded your post with the disdain it deserves, not just yours but everyone else's that is along the same lines.

But I suppose everyone that has pointed out that they think its stupid can walk around with a smug grin knowing that they have done another good deed for the internet.

Thought this section of the forum was a more light hearted easy going section, but clearly the snobbery extends here as well. Sad times.

Tattoo is class and I'm secure that while there is an internet, there will be spineless people that post stuff they wouldn't dare say in person ;)

If you'll read through his PRSI posts it will confirm you spineless assessment.

he kinda looks like he bumped his head though. maybe just the lighting.
No, that's true to life.
It's very impressive, but I do also know someone personally who is that good :)
The Terminator, in a certain condition, only has one Human eye.
You have to get that right, or you don't see Arnie.
