Why would someone want to look like this?

Searching the local listings for newly arrested people, sometimes I come across some interesting pics. I do these searches each day because I previously worked in a Juvinile treatment facility for delinquent youth. I just want to check to see if any of the youth I had have gotten into trouble.

Then I come to this pic.... To me...It's like saying "Hey, look at me! I'm 'screaming' for attention!" I just don't understand this type.

They had a name for that at the employment agency where one of my sons used to work.It was called the "Don't Hire Me" tattoos.
 
What is really messed up is that these people whine that they have no money and they are wrongly judged. I do not know what a tattoo costs but I know it is not free.
 
To me people with them kind of tattoos are nasty, tatoo that is.I have better things to buy with my money, more tractors.
 
Around here a lot of tatoos are paid for selling EBT card(food stamps) for fifty cents on the dollar. They avoid medicaid fraud by going with the buyer when shopping.
 
It's probably because the only attention she received when she grew up was either negative or no attention. She has low self esteem and craves attention and the only way she knows how to attract attention is to look different from the people around her. We will see more of this in years to come if the breakup of the American family continues. The only people she feels comfortable with are others like her.Jim
 
I agree with Gene. We have a girl that works at the elevator that has got them very visible but does a good job. I never got drunk enough to get one and don't plan on it even if I have the money.
 
Fixerupper and Gene nailed it on the head. I think it is really sad when people have to resort to making themselves look this way to get attention. They don't know how to go about being noticed in a positive way, so they resort to this. Gona look discusting on an ageing body many years down the road.
 
Just the style of the day I guess. Kinda like the first day back in high school the year that all the hot babes came back with those disgusting shag hair cuts. What a waste of good looking girls that was.
 
Like the commercial for the Evelyn Lundberg Counseling Agency on Prairie Home Companion.

"You think that tattoo looks cool!? Just wait ten years. It'll look like a big bruise! Like a walrus gave you a hicky!"
 
My nephew owns a tattoo shop. Tells people up front about the risk and what it will look like in a few years. If they still want one. They sign a release form.
 
I had a painted up clown (male) explain to me that he did it so he "wouldn't look like everyone else". So....He got inked up like everyone else (without a brain) does these days. I told him that if he really wanted to be different and stand out in a crowd, he should have skipped the tats, left the guages out of the ear lobes, got a job, and acted like he had even a shred of intelligence.

Of course, he completely missed the message I was trying to give him.

All I can say is, had I done anything like that while my dad was alive, I WOULDN'T BE....
 
I see that stuff and say to myself "Ick" a neice got a big huge ugly tattoo and got all huffy when I gave a negative opinion of it. why would you rebel and get one of them just like every other malcontent? might just as well have one sez trailer trash IMO. and they call it "body art" of course they call comic books grafic novels now...
 
I've put this old frame of mine through a lot of trauma and misery over the years, but I've never had the slightest urge to deface it with a tattoo.
 
Not much that I can say about the "artwork" that hasn't already been said, but there is one other thing about mug shots that bothers me. As of late, I frequently read about someone being arrested for beating their child, or something else considered as cruelty, and their mug shot shows a big smile on their face as if they think it's funny. That's one time when I would approve of "police brutality". Smack 'en upside the head and wipe that smile off!
 
I was at the grocery store last winter and ran into a guy I hadn't seen in 15 or 20 years.
He was just a lad then - maybe 20?
I hired him a few times as a laborer. Good worker, decent fellow.
He had two kids with him at the store about 8 or 10. Decent enough kids.
We talked for a few minutes then a woman walked up and he introduced her as his wife.
I kind of did a double take as she had tats on her arms and neck and FACE - around her eyes and forehead - kind of a weird design.
Not professionally done either - more like amaturish.
She was nice enough. Polite. Seemed like a decent woman
But I found it to be more than unsettling. It was downright creepy.
I couldn't stop staring at her and couldn't concentrate on the conversation.
I realized I didn't want to be around them so I politely remembered I had grocery shopping to do, wished them well and made my getaway.
I supposed they would talk about it - how another uptight ditz obviously didn't like her 'art' and made judgements about her.
But I also figured I wasn't the only one who was completely turned off by her face so they must have been used to it.
I'm still a little creeped out when I think back about it.
 
Now-a-days I'd guess close to 50 percent of the people between 25 and 45 years old have some type of body art. Most are hard working responsible parents, and the tattoos represent something they like or believe in.

I don't want any tattoos. When I was growing up (50 years, two generations ago already?) tattoos were rare, parents preached against them and the churches called them a sin. Maybe that was some of the appeal.

It's a trend that could die out when the following generation finds something different that is their own and irks their parents just as much.
 
If she wants to remain in Incognito, she better shape up or be run oot of town

They have a respectful town there
 
I don't care at all for that type of tattoos on anyone.
I do have 1 tattoo on my arm of my Scottish heritage (that can not be seen while wearing a t-shirt)
 
Well I guess she never read the good book about marking themselves, One day she will meet her maker and it will be a short talk. I think she thinks to much of herself by the look on her face. I will never understand doing this to yourself because its cool? Most people that I have met that have them wish they never got them. I have scares from head to toe that I wish I didn't have but I do and I dang sure aint going to make things worse! Bandit
 
Pretty much seals the deal on a life of minimum
wage jobs, poverty, and a permanent mark of a
rebellious stage of life that most will inward
outgrow but can now never leave behind.
 
I can only say 2 things on this. #1 Freedom of speech and #2 Judge not least you be judged.
Now would I get a tattoo heck no. Would I EVER color my hair heck no but hey to each there own
 
Seen a girl with a lot of tatoos like that then she smiled i
think her money would have been better spent at the
dentist.i did see one she had a small katydid tatoo thats
what her grandpa called her when she was little and it was
her way of keeping his memory
 
It's interesting. We get comments from "she has low self esteem" to "judge not, lest you be judged". Well, self esteem or not, she's going to be judged and with that many tats it's going to mostly be harsh. So whatever damage she's done to herself she did HERSELF and the only one who can work on her self esteem is HER. Those aren't the little roses or service tats that are near acceptable, those are "scarred for life" tats.

You know, if these people really wanted to look like individuals they might try to emulate the Cary Grant or Donna Reed look. That would be really far out these days!
 
About three weeks ago I was at the Rez to get smokes. I was in a line of about 20. Myself and one woman were the only ones in the store that did not have a visible tattoo.
 
Good judgement is a valuable personality trait.

Looks like the typical "I want a tattoo so I can be an individual like everyone else".
 
We have a few of em like that around here, too. Most of them, if pressed will tell you outright the primary purpose of all of this is so that no one will hire them. This one looks like she is real proud of herself, too, doesn't she?

Our generation was super long hair, John Lennon glasses, tie-dyed clothes and don't bathe for months at a time. At the time that seemed to be a pretty good deterent to employment, also.
 
I think the big thing here is people are failing to realize that it's her body. It's none of our business. That is unless she herself ask what you think.

Heck you never know, she may get a degree and become the CEO of AGCO, JD or Fiat same day.

Some people choose to be freaks.

We wonder why there are so many people
out of Work? Well to me she's unemployable
looking like that...

No one is arguing that Rick. She can do whatever she wants to her body. We're talking WHY and what the repercussions for the rest of her life will be.
 
I myself would not get one, but if anyone else wants to, that's their business, not mine. I know many people who have them, including my kids and their spouses. Also some other people whom I respect a great deal.
It's their choice, why should it bother me? I've got more important things to worry about than other people's tattoos--or for that matter their clothing, or hair styles, or what style of eyeglass frames they wear.
Just because I wouldn't do it does not necessarily make it wrong. People need to lighten up a bit.
