Life is about choices, and if you choose to be a dumbass and get something tattooed on your face, don't get mad at other people when they don't want to hire you. Don't get me wrong; I love tattoos. They can make you look like a huge badass. They're also a fantastic way to express your individual style. Still, there's a fine line between badass tattoos and dumbass tattoos.
If you've already done some of these stupid ass things I'm about to talk about, you're not going to like my opinion. I'm also not talking to you. I'm talking to the guys who are thinking about getting inked. I know dumbass tattoos because I had two (bumblebee and moon). Today I will go over a few tattoo rules you should always follow.
Before you get inked, think about these things.
Don't get a tattoo before the age of 21. Don't do it if you're below age 21 because you will regret it. You're impulsive at that age, and your testosterone levels are cranking. You're going to think something is awesome and that you will love it for the rest of your life, but you won't.
Don't do anything impulsive or spur of the moment. When a tattoo is done right, it's thought out and planned. You have a good story behind something incredible. But if you go out and get one on a whim, that's a recipe for disaster.
Have a story and meaning. Don't just pick a tattoo off a wall. If there's something that you want, plan and work with the artist or tattoo designer. Think about it so that you have a story when somebody asks you what your tattoo represents. Tattoos are great conversation starters, but if your conversation starts and ends with 'I don't know,' that doesn't work.
Never on your face, neck, or hands. If you have any tattoos in those places, you will look trashy, and people will not respect you the way you deserve to be respected. Life is not fair; it's the reality. So if you're choosing to put a stamp on your body that lets people know about a horrible decision, don't be mad when they don't want to hire you, date you, or be your friend.
Tribal tattoos look like white trash. Think of tribal tattoos like the Ed Hardy Affliction version of tattoos. Also, stand-alone bands on your arms make you look white trashy.
Cute tattoos are not cute. This goes for anything funny as well. If something is funny, getting it tattooed on your body is probably a horrible idea. Although it may be trendy right now, it won't be later.
No portrait tattoos. Having portraits of your family members, children, and dogs is another horrible idea, even though it has a good meaning.
No people's names. Never get a tattoo of somebody's name on your body, whether it's a crush, girlfriend, or wife. At some point, these people may not be in your life, and it will be very difficult to explain why you have her name on your body.
No affiliations with sexual or social groups. Whether or not it's a rainbow flag, a political party, or other symbols identifying as trans or whatever, if you're putting these on your body to identify yourself with a specific group, understand that you're going to alienate a lot of people that don't align with your belief. Even if you don't care, know that you're going to limit and alienate people. Also, you'll have to work extra hard to overcome people's perceptions or ignorance. I'm not saying this to be a dick; I am just letting you know that if you choose to wear your stance, perspective, or belief on your sleeve, people will not always agree with you.
Reconsider cover-up tattoos. It's not always a good idea to cover a tattoo with something bigger that you may not like later. People get bad tattoos and then think they're going to cover it with something bigger when they could have gotten it removed. Tattoo removal is incredibly effective, and I had two removed because I was embarrassed. I felt like a huge douche with mine, and I didn't love them. It cost me $800 to remove them through a series of treatments. - Навчання та стиль
Rule #1: ALWAYS get a dragon tattoo on your face
Noted
There are no rules, this video is one opinion

Rule number 1…don’t listen to someone with zero tattoos about tattoos
He actually has a few
@@jakkbatt4711yeah and I have a couple zits- I guess that meant I should give acne advice.
This is literally what he’s doing. This is normal fathers advice, nothing regarding actual tattoos.
Yeah this host is an idiot.
@@jakkbatt4711he had 2 tiny ones and got them both removed.
@@StatesMusic hahahahaha no doubt
Rule number 1: Dont listen to someone named "alpha m."
Rule number 2: Dont listen to someone who's screaming at you
Don't like him but he's not always incorrect
But keep presentation away from content, what is screamed at you could be true
They absolutely don't have to mean something. It actually inhibits your creativity if every single tattoo has to have some deeper connection. It's art.
This guy has virtually no ink, so his opinion on tattoos should be taken with a grain of salt. Unfortunately, he is projecting his fears of being judged onto his follwers, but most people who should be getting tattoos won't be swayed by the opinons of others anyway, so its fine. I agree with you, and most people who appreciate art and culture would agree with you also.
This guy is so judgmental
Absolutely no one to listen to anything this guy has to say it’s your life do what you want
@@xosupermarc”people who are getting tattooed won’t be swayed by his opinions anyway” well said!
So.. Rock that Pappa Smurf Tramp Stamp..
I have neck tats, hand tats and spontaneous tattoos. They’re done well and always complimented. Do what you love, and rock them and you won’t have to worry 🤟
Same, even old people compliment my throat and neck tattoos and that was a nice surprise for me also😅 i was waiting to get some weird looks from older people but it was the opposite. Same on my hands but not as much as the throat
Scahty Say it louder so they can hear in the nose bleed section and we both know whoever objects its their problem an its only a trigger to get more and we give no Fs have they feel ya dig one last thing ROCK EM U R WORTHY 💯🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
Guess your one of the stupid looking ones he was talking about 😮 don't worry you can always redeem yourself through a UA-cam comment.
You cannot see all that can see you and looking the other way. And even if you put shiit tattoes, some will like them.
Same! Not all tattoos on hands, neck, or fingers are trashy looking. It's very easy to pull off without looking trashy. I have finger and hand tattoos and they don't look trashy by any means.
1: if you’re getting a tattoo and seeking advice. Make sure it’s from someone with tattoos.
2: Take the time and make sure it’s something you want on your body, it’s there forever.
3: Sleep on it and sleep on it until you know it’s what you want.
4: Seek a proper artist at a good price that’ll be excited for the piece, not just your money.
5: Listen to the artists advice for healing process.
6: Now you’ll want more.
So then, why are we taking advice from a guy who has none?
@@sages101 well that’s on you
@@Mari-fd6ku well, you sure showed me. Time to go question life. 🤔
this doesn't always apply, every single tattoo I have was a heat of the moment, I'm talking think of an idea, message my artist, turn up the next day and get it done, I don't regret any of my tattoos at all, of course I'd like something different there but that's how everyone feels when they have a sleeve tattoo because they have to look at it every day and it becomes normal pretty fast, I have both my arms done, my hands, torso and some on my face / head, I'm 20 years old, will I regret them in the future? maybe but who cares, live in the moment, not the future
Nah, you only need to go by 3 rules:
1. Find a very experienced and skilled artist in the style you want with an immaculate portfolio where you like every piece they showcase.
2. Give them a general concept (main subject + the main colors that you want + rough location for the piece) and let them go wild with it in their style.
3. Trust their wisdom and expertise. If they suggest a particular orientation/placement or certain changes to adapt the design to your body or adding certain flourishes or colors to make it pop, just go with their suggestion. That's the whole point of shelling out for a really good artist with a decade+ of experience.
But all of this relies on you finding a really great artist whose style you love. And it won't be cheap. If you don't find the right artist, it doesn't work. And no matter how much thought you put into it and how much you try to micromanage a subpar artist, you'll still and up regretting the subpar tattoo eventually.
Rule 1. Get whatever the fuck you want and dont let some bozos on the internet tell you youre lesser.
I dont get tattoos for other people. I get tattoos for myself 😂
So why the need to explain?
A force of habit I supposed.
You always don't need a story for tattoos as long as it looks good and well placed
Most of mine don’t and look better than ppl that do lmao
I agree. I’m 38 and have quite a few tats. Both sleeves and back covered. When I was in my early 20’s getting started with tattoos I always made sure they “meant” something but as I got more into tattoos I appreciated them more for the artwork / body art and don’t necessarily have to mean anything. Just good work.
I’ve got 4 tattoos on my left arm but they are all huge lol my whole forearm is basically done and my whole upper sleeve all around my arm I love em
Most people get tattoos because they look cool and have no other deeper reason to get it lol
this👆🏻😂
Also really important advice: DON'T expect a tattoo to be cheap. If it's really cheap, it's most likely bad. Research artists, research studios, ask questions beforehand and remember that most times you get what you pay for, made that mistake with my first tattoo, never ever going cheap again
Also research bad life decisions
depends on the country. Those tattoos that angelina jolie has dont cost anything in cambodia as its religious - you just give offerings to their temple (candles, incense etc)
@@BuffaloNickel9 your mom forgot to do that
@@calebwright9974 good one caleb... now we know you have D-bag tattoos...
Yeap. Even a basic tattoo that takes 90 min or so is probably going to be at least $300, before tip. If its good. Full sleeves, you're talking 4-6 thousand, maybe more.
Totally agree! At 34 I got my first tattoo, an upper sleve design that is totally relatable to me and my passions with no offensive features. It took from 22 to 34 years of age to find the artist, style and a design I loved. It is timeless and sensible with multiple layers.
Therefore I agree, wait until the factors align with you, don't chase it
Exactly the journey I am on right now and I think I have found the right artist
I think it depends, for me, I'm thinking of getting Polynesian done on my arm, obviously traditionally, and by someone who understands it, and I genuinely connect with the culture.
Still diggin the ink?
Well stated Alpha!! 💯
I too have been getting treatments for the removal of my tat.
It just ain’t me man. Not to mention everybody and their grandma and their little sister etc etc etc are covered in the damn things.
We can do whatever we want with our bodies, my tattoos are great conversation starters and they are fun to look at
Hey Alpha. Been A long time subscriber of your channel. I used to be in college and now I'm a med school graduate. Just sending you my appreciation. Thank you for your tips as always!
As someone with tattoos, I agree with most of what you said. One thing I’ll say that you kinda hinted at is tribal tattoos are only really trashy if you are white. Any sort of tribal tattoos on islanders will almost always be timeless
I think white people should stick to white tribe tattoos - norse and celtic imagery would be most wise if its linked with their heritage
@@leigh7507 Same with Slavic tattoos
Most tattoos referred to as tribal and that look terrible and trashy are the pointy lines that don’t have much to do with real tribal tattoos. No meaning/symbolism, just ugly decoration.
@@JD-oe5uc Exactly. Real tribal tattoos have a-lot of meaning and symbolism depending on the culture, and they look great.
What about Latinos tho?
Just wanted to say thank you! I am turning a age of parental signature for tattos in my country, and this video made me second think getting a "dumb ass" tattoo. I was planning on getting something I, after thinking about it, would definitely regret.
Good vid. I was batting 1000 until you got to the no names part. Lol! After 20 years of marriage I did get my wife’s nickname tattooed. I put it right next to a V-twin motor tattoo so if we ever split, I can tell people it was the name of my favorite bike! 😂
Already done the first two 😅 can’t say I regret my tattoos tho, I definitely agree with most of these, I feel like if you do the hands or neck you have to be very committed for those tho, I also feel like impulse tattoos should be very thought about if you’re going to do it, love the video!
You think long and hard about your impulse decisions? Tell me you have proper impulse control without telling me you have proper impulse control. Must be nice
Spot on with all your "Don't s"
Great video
Great video, as usual. When I made the decision to get a tattoo, I actually wore different versions of the design as a temporary tattoo for several months (changing it out every 10 days or so) until I settled on exactly what I wanted. It's a meaningful design that I've now had for many years and have never regretted.
Wow, that's smart. Thanks for the tip, I never thought about that before. What a genius idea!
No. Just no. This is far from a good video just like all his content. Get your head out of the sand.
I almost agree with everything. I got a tattoo at 18 (the whole inner side of the forearm) and I'm still happy with it 3 years later. BUT I designed the tattoo at least 4 years ago and made sure I liked the design. And when it comes to names, I think that the names of parents, siblings, or kids can be a nice memento or celebration. NAMES NOT FACES.
Take the L and revisit in 15 years
@@BuffaloNickel9 What exactly is your problem? Didn't you get enough hugs as a kid?
In the future I definitely do plan on getting tattoos with meaning but did the tattoo you get into your inner forearm hurt a lot or was it uncomfortable….
I plan on getting something basic and something that I’ve been dealing with for a while and getting a tattoo for when I beat it if I can. Just wondering…
@@icon8009cant be any worse than what your dealing with
@@jeykey7140 maybe not as many as you?
I have a tattoo scheduled today in a few hours and just saw this video get posted. What are the chances 😅

Absolutely fantastic. Nothing but truth in here!
Alpha M You The Man 🔥👊🏽
Hey alpha.. Great video.. I agree completely. One extra tip that I would add (from my experience with my tattoos) it's that it's best to let the ideas sink in for a while.. if one year later you still want that tatoo -or more important the design- it's probably ok. My first one was good.. but not good enough... so I will have to re touch it.
Just a quick note.. I don't know if the problem is my monitor, but lately I notice the skin of your face with a yellow-greenish tint.. could be my monitor, your lighting setup or a miss in post production color correction. The odd thing is that the rest of the skin looks "normal"
Over a year? If you need that long to think about maybe don’t get it. Plus, don’t spend your time listening to “alphas” on UA-cam, just man the fuck up and do what you want. This guy didn’t have the confidence to rock his own tattoos, how alpha is that.
I agree with most, some are just your opinion. Tattoos needing "meaning" is something you care less and less about. As a tattoo collector my random and fun tattoos are some of mine (and other people) favourites
Great take on tattoos alienating people. 👍
I have 68 tattoos and my #1 rule has always been #1 not visible with a suit on, and #2 it must mean something super deep to me. Example: I have an umbilical cord with a knot in it. Because my son was born with a true knot in his cord. Its clean and a great conversation starter.
Ever heard of a turtleneck that can cover your throat and neck tats 😂😂😂
@@coldturkey5333 because turtle necks are great during the summer months too 😂
@@callawolf531 ya do know there are turtlenecks that are as thin as a shirt right ?
@@coldturkey5333 ya do know that defeats of getting the tat right and its completely impractical
@@nelannkua7283 no it doesn’t you goofy goober
If ya only absolutely have to cover it ya only cover it at work then ya can go out and go out on the weekend wearing whatever tf ya want
Ya basically the kind of person who doesn’t get the tattoo for himself but gets it for everyone to see and to show off lol
Personally I got my first 2 tattoos at 17 and fortunately I love them to this day because I they have meaning but I do agree with everything he says but at the same time remember your getting a tattoo for yourself and not to impress other people because there will always be people who disagree or dislike you’re tattoos
What if a wanted a naked girl with big boobs on my forearm?
I think you need to think what others will think about your tattoos in the long run
I, as someone who has broken several of these rules....completely agree.
All valid points!
Rule number 1:
Don’t care what people think, this is coming from a guy who was clean and didn’t like tattoos at all and thought they we’re stupid and I actually judged people for it subconsciously, as I matured a little, 22, I started to notice they actually look really good, now I currently have a neck tattoo and a dragon on my left forearm, and plan on feeling in pretty much my whole left side of body myself, just from the two I have now the attention I get from women and looks in general is insane, I strongly believe tattoos actually enhance your experience drastically if they look good of course, Nonetheless, do what you want regardless of what people think, I feel so foolish for ever caring or judging people with tattoos, now I’m one of those people 🤣
I agree with everything on your list except neck and hands. My reasoning behind this is because if you’re someone who’s in pursuit of a body suit(like I am) that mostly covers everywhere but your face. There’s also something to be said about pieces that are entirely cohesive. Meaning arm sleeves connect to your shoulders, to your chest , up to your neck and the tops of your hands, down your back etc etc.
Imagine not getting a tattoo because of other peoples opinion 💀
wtf are you talking about? actually doesnt matter because youre employers are gonna stop you at the door

He is def right on a lot of this. I regret my 2 tribal tats i got at 18 and 20 years old. Im 41 now. I have gotten more over the years and def made sure they had meaning later
dont:
1. before 21
2. impulse
3. be meaningless
4. face neck or hands
5. tribal/standalone bands/tribal bands
6. cute/funny tattoos
7. portraits (he says they never ever ever look good)
8. names
9. sexual/social group tatttoos (democrat/republican/lgbtq etc etc)
10. if you get a tattoo you dont like its not always a good idea to cover it up with something bigger later

got portraits on my back and my artist literally transfered them EXACTLY how they looked like on the pictures i presented to him, so can‘t really say that one is true
they look great and i only got compliments for them
wait 20 years lol
My first tattoo took 2 years to make. It takes a lot of research to find the correct symbols and the artist's work that matches your style. When deciding on your tattoo, you have to make sure that the symbols mean the right thing and that there are many meaning to one symbol. You should talk to the artist about your vision so he can do the best work possible. Good tattoos don't come cheap so make sure u don't waste money on some bad tattoos.
For me, it was helpful that I plan my tattoo very precisely. When I was meeting my tattoo artist, I give him some photos and the story behind them. It was so good to know that he has the same vision as you. So you know that he makes the masterpiece that you have wanted.
You wasted two years of your life over ink. You can’t get those years back.

Thank you, Alpha.
I got my first tattoo before I was 21 and I can assure you it was not an impulsive thing.
Why are you always yelling? We can hear you just fine 😂
He's alpha! He has to! Thats what alphas do! 😂 A humble beta cheers to you. 🙂
your so right man. I regret most of mine and I have more than a few
I got a 3 piece tribal band tattoo on my forearm at 18 and I laughed when you called it the creme de la creme.
I literally followed all these rules before getting a tattoo 🤣 and now I can say I have great tattoos. I took time deciding and made sure it had some meaning..also almost all of them were my own idea.
Simple rule of thumb
Don't get a tattoo for 6 months after having the idea in you head and after 6 months if you still want it then go for it ,,,,but most probably you will have a better idea after 6 months
Very useful 🤝🏼
Some things I agree with, some I don’t;
- Portraits CAN look good, but you need to find a talented artist who specializes in portraits. Don’t choose the cheapest artist you can find (that’s also true for any tattoo).
- I’d say names are alright, but only for immediate blood family (parents, kids), and shouldn’t be the focal point of a tattoo. A friend of mine has her parents names embedded in foliage in a sleeve and it looks pretty good.
- Tattoos don’t need to have meaning. If it’s a good design, well executed and is place well enough to compliment the lines of the particular body part it’s on, it can be a good enough conversation starter on itself.
- As much as I agree with face tattoos, workplaces (and the general opinion) have come A LOT more permissive with neck and hand tattoos over the years. I don’t know about other places, but at least in Canada, unless they’re offensive, you can’t be refused employment solely because of your hand/neck/face tattoos.
- Tribal tattoos aren’t a unique case. DON’T GET A TATTOO BECAUSE IT’S TRENDY. Tribals were a trend and now they look ridiculous. Trend are temporary, tattoos are not.
I got my first tattoo at thirty-one. It's an eye sinking into a compass. The meaning is a comparison between the well of Mimir and my (now three years) of wandering as a nomad, the sacrifices that come with it, and the potential to become more worldly and wiser. I plan to divy up my tattoos between left-hand and right-hand path experiences.
this has to be your best video yet.
So I know I'm pretty late to this but whatever. I have gotten two tattoos before the age of 21, one at 18 and the other at 16, both in honor of people who have passed away, but I love the tattoos because of what they represent. It doesn't really matter the age, just make sure it has a deep meaning behind it that you won't regret
I just got my first tattoo at 18, literally just a horror character i really like. It does NOT have to have a deep meaning
@@itsjustice8124 I dare say that that is a deep meaning. As you stated, it's a horror character you really like, that has meaning to it. I guess what I associate "no meaning" is something so far out of left field that is a little weird, i.e. getting a portrait of Yoda on your thigh even though you never even watched a Star Wars movie or cartoon. I know many people who have many tattoos who got them simply because they thought they looked cool, like a bear or wolf. And that makes complete sense, tattoo's are oftenly a reflection of the person wearing them, so having a bear on your arm might reflect the fact that you might be a hunter, love wildlife, or simply just like bears. In the end, I have gotten my tattoos in honor of people close to me that have passed away, but getting a tattoo of a character you like completely makes sense if you think about it.
@@N1GHTMARE881 honestly, very good take. I appreciate you being civil
@@itsjustice8124 yeah, no problem man, it would be very childish of me to lay into you about something completely based off of personal beliefs. I hope what I said could've provided some light 👍
I'll be honest. I don't really care if someone has tattoos, but I still don't understand the appeal.
Woah woah woah picking flash off the wall is badass let’s just clear that up right now
this was hella funny and true!
If you don't have money, don't get a cheap tattoo. The best option is to make one but high-quality.
And one more thing, tattoos look better on guys with muscles, so go to GYM 💪
No time for gym? I'm working out from home and can help you with some exercises

But you’re totally right bro, I do respect yo opinion! I shoulda thought way deeper about a lot of my art
BUT TEARS DONT COME FROM FROM YOUR LIPS
Seems to me I left a post on your Facebook page giving pretty good advice on this topic based on my experiences
I had a Marine tattoo on my right upper arm from my time in the Corps. Impulsive. Young. Dumb. I wanted to get sleeves forever and my job after the Marines frowned upon it. Fast forward and I just turned fifty. Now I have beautiful Marquesan sleeves on both arms and hands. My tattoos are for me. Part of my culture. Part of my story. I could give two shits what other people think. I will say he has a few valid points. One probably waiting until your atleast 25. Hey your skin is still gonna be there. The tattoo artist will be there. Other than that knock yourself out. Also the whole you won't get hired because you have tattoos. Not really a thing anymore. Hell the military just made changes to their tattoo policy.
Tribal tattoos are actually badass.
Nah it not😂
@@SLIMXVIIyou probably think realism or portrait tattoos are badass 😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
@@GothicCatholicismtribal is trashy looking and really old 😂😂
Thank you for the honesty!
Love the advice, but is there a whisper version of this video lol
Got my first at 18. I’m 35 now…Zero regrets….My hands are tatted. My neck is. ZERO regrets….have my kids names on my neck. Zero regrets…have a beautiful wife a good paying job. And I disagree I don’t look trashy…I’m employed by a billion dollar company….and work in the office. I love them and my wife loves them
My go to rule for tattoos:
Think about it for a year and if it still seems like a good idea after that year, go ahead and get it
No one’s promised tommorrow 🥰 F it and go for it
I dont want to wait for so Long but i wait at least 3 Months. This is already Long enough to throw away Most Bad ideas
This vid is low key hilarious
😂😂😂 love the presentation. Full energy
ABSOLUTELY be impulsive with tattoos!
Some of my favourite tattoos are the ones I got spur of the moment during some of the best moments of my life
Every time I look at my skin I’m transported back to the moment I was having such an amazing time I decided to draw the memory permanently into myself
That outweighs whatever anyone thinks/ people judging you because they’re too reserved or scared to embrace all of life and care too much about what other people think
Your body, your canvas, your memories. Go enjoy it all.
Or go get a piece of art you think other people will like , instead of you, and etch it into your body for eternity
Horrible advice. You could also make a bad tattoo decision in the spur of the moment. Think about what you’re getting and think of placement
@@kevinmorales715 and what? it's a bit of ink on you forever. It's not actually a big deal. Even a rubbish, absolutely trash tattoo can become a hilarious reminder of your youth.
And the majority of the time; it's not making a bad decision tattoo; its usually the right decision, people just talk themselves out of it with "what ifs"
people dont make random hangover-style decisions to get facial / extreme tattoos which may impact a job; people worry about normal tattoos. life is too short; get the ink.
Youre freaking right the impulsive tattoos are like a picture of the moment or a time in your life
Only a person with confidence issues gets one and regrets it 👌🏽. Like a midget 55 year old man trying to give a younger group advice about fashion and life. If you are into the culture of tattoos….you know that they can be ugly, offensive or artifacts. It’s the vibe.
Really confident people don't need a tattoo. I am supremely confident. I pity and contemn the tattooed, but silently, so as to not hurt their feelings.
@@clacclackerson3678You sound smart to somebody dumb. You think everybody that has tattoos is not confident? You are very simple minded. Nobody needs a tattoo it’s something you want. Some people treat their body as a canvas. Tattoos when done right are a work of art.
Had my head,throat, and hands tattooed before 21, and im really happy with my life choices.I even got Rick and Morty tattooed before i even watched the show.
But in all fairness, the back of the head tattoo hurt so bad it felt like someone is cutting you up with a scalpel.The sides were bad but nothing you couldn't get true.
The throat was tricky because you have to time when you can actually swallow.And the adams apple really doesn't feel good at the time😅
The key is also not to overdue it. I got my first Tat at 35 and quickly got two more, but that’s all I need and happy with the way it all turned out
I am heavily-tattooed. I agree with your list, except for the portraits. There are some absolutely incredible portrait tattoo artists out there that create very life-like portrait tattoos. It’s what they specialize in. Just gotta do your research and find the right person, because portraits done by the wrong artist can turn out terrible. Perfect list, otherwise!
If you’re heavily tattooed how can you agree with the list. I’ve never had a cover up and I wouldn’t get a name tatted on me but so what if you did. Is it hard to cover up or remove a word? This guys tatts did look stupid on a guy like him but if he had 50 other ones I’d say he’d leave them be
Every 50 year old parent:
three statements in, and i've just been going CHECK!
Well said! Words to the wise...
Don't take advice from people who don't have tattoos ..
Literally has tattoos
@@spitfirex1332Right, he just doesn’t allow them to be visible because people “wouldn’t respect him” 😂 ironically Post Malone who he clowned on and called stupid in this video has way more respect than this dude ever will
@@spitfirex1332not nearly enough he’s a little boy in the tattoo world
Tattoo shaming shouldn't really exist unless it's something really ridiculed.
Let people get there own tattoos, even if it holds sentimental piece or nostalgia on there mortal skin, especially hand tattoos as a first.
My very first tattoo was a hand tattoo (right hand) and people love it so much. It's kon fox devil from chainsaw man.
Yo bro. Love that jacket. Where can I get one?
I got my first tattoo when I was seventeen. I was a week out of boot camp. I never regretted it, nor any of the other thirteen I had done over then next thirty years.
Get the tattoo who cares doesn't have to have a meaning. I have full sleeves and some shitty ones like anyone with tattoos. It's fun, its manic, just keep in mind explaining the tattoo to someone. Don't get something super lame because when people ask(and they will) you'll get embarrassed
I’ve never explained ANY of my tattoos except my first one when I was 19
When it comes to getting a tattoo your age doesn't matter. What matters is how wise you are when it comes to getting inked. Being 21 isn't going to make you wiser than you were at the age of 18. There are people who are in their 30s and above who are impulsive when it comes to tattoos. They want one, so they go and get the first thing they like. After a year or two, they don't like it. That mistake can be any age. But being 18 doesn't mean you're going to regret your tattoo one day. I know of three people who got inked when they turned 18. Two of them don't regret it, one does. The two that don't regret it are the two that thought about it. They talked to the artist and they took a long time deciding. The one that regrets it was the one who one day went to a tattoo shop and saw something funny and on a whim, got it. He regretted his a year later.
Getting a tattoo of someone. I'm not going to say don't do it. Just make sure you know the artist can actually make it look good. There are a lot that look bad, but there are also a lot that look good.
you're so wise...
love the ending, it's the most real thing any youtube channel host has said in the past 15 years🤣🤣
I remember your video from the past addressing the same topic. Missed the girl’s name Sheila 🤣
I did a lot of research on tattoos when I was looking at buying a removal laser and the general conclusion I came away with was just never get a tattoo. I got a small one when I was 18 on my shoulder and even than knew I wanted to be able to cover it with a short sleeve. Never once thought about getting a second.
One lonely tattoo on your body is stupid and cringe
A full tattoo sleeve that’s art is stylish and awesome
@@qaching dangerous dumbass advice
I know so many people who got tattoos just because and 9 times outta 10 they look incredibly silly. I have one on my shoulder in remembrance of my cousin, one on my left forearm for my faith, and one on my right forearm for my love for music. And like you said Alpha, they are amazing conversation starters. And I get compliments all the time.
Instead of getting tattooed, speak good of your loss for memory, speak good of your faith, and sing for the love of your music. Peace
@@sigman8680 I respect that. And I do do that. But I also like tattoos🤷🏻♂️😂
Sometimes silly IS the idea, that’s the intention! Not everyone goes for “badass”. Sometimes people just want something that makes them smile or laugh
I have a few tattoos that are custom 1 of 1 pieces that I got because I just love the style and the artists work
Got a wolf head on my hand and it's cool and I work in the mines and good Job 🤘
Neck and face tattoos I understand. Hands, I think depends on what you get. I’ve seen some hand tats that look really good.
My mom and dad are both Samoan. I've only wanted one tattoo, and it's a tribal sleeve. Just recently pulled the trigger on it and even traveled to American Samoa to get it done. My family said if I wanted it, I'd have to get it the old-fashioned way and "earn it." It was done with hammer and needle and was the most painful experience I've ever had. Took 4 10 hours days to get it done. But it turned out great and I'm really proud of my culture and what I went through to get it done.
This was a good video! I'm getting older and now and again starting to think about getting one, especially before I have to have an eventual heart surgery that'd mean I can't after.. But His review sums my self perception about it in this context-- I'm a bit too much a dumbass in those impulsive ways and just looking to 'get something' rather than really have a piece I want on my body.
thank you! me also im still close minded when it comes from tattoos idk if they called me old fashion but I HATE TATTOOS
they dont always need to have meaning lol, it’s art, art doesn’t always need a backstory to it, it just looks cool as hell, you can also get tattoos if you just have a love for art, not always when someone in your family passes away, or something that happened to u when u were young that stuck with you all these years because it helped you get through struggles and blah blah, , y’all be overthinking tattoos like crazy sometimes lol
Come on!!
Great video. Great attitude. Great list. Great content.
Hahaha this is good and entertaining advice, folks.
Rule 1: I proved you wrong, got my 1st tattoo at age 18…I’m now 40 and still love it
You’re SPOT ON with the tribal tattoo though…my ONLY tattoo regret and I have ALOT of tattoos
Not surprised you were embarrassed by those two tattoos 😂 look like tats an 18 year old girl would have 😂
Great for you! I’m getting my first tattoo on Thursday, except I’m 21.
Screaming
Love the energy 😂
Bud you are spot on correct. One thing that wasn't mentioned is deciding on a tat when drunker than a skunk. Thankfully I only have 2 but they were for sure 2 seperate poor choices. In my mid 20s (I'm 44 now) I got a shamrock on each bicep...the only good thing I can say is thankfully I was at least sober enough to get em in a spot where a shirt can cover em. I feel like a Lucky Charms ad with a bax attitude. DON'T DRINK AND GET A TAT
Well I guess I broke a few of these rules, I got tats at 18, 19, 20, 21, most of them were on impulse like I came up with the idea hours before I got it, I got my neck and a hand tattooed, but personally I get hella compliments on them and they look great also I’m sticking with a style, I like a neo- traditional black and white flash style and I’m patching it in because I’m sorry but I really hate full sleeves, they look cringe as hell it’s like “hey am I tough now”
Rules about getting tattoos?
Rule 1: Don't.
You're a stud, you don't need random permanent markings on your skin from the kid who dropped out of their masters degree in "art history" or something.
What about if my artist does have a degree in fine art
