A stranger’s opinions on tattoos

I was on the subway and overheard a conversation between a tattooed woman and a non-tattooed man about tattoos. This is how it went…

Man: I couldn’t get a tattoo.
Man: If I got one it would have to be a tribal.
Man: I don’t like graphic design.
Woman: I got a Gemini in a sun for a henna tattoo.
Man: I would get bored with where it is.
Man: I would like tattoos if you could change them.
Man: If I did get one, it would be a chest piece that goes over the shoulder.

Then they started talking about kinds of piercings and I got off the train.

Stream of consciousness opinions on the matter:

  • Distaste of tattoos is not the best way to hit on a someone with tattoos.
  • Don’t lots of douche bags get Tribal tattoos?
  • There are people who don’t like the concept of “graphic design?”
  • Interesting aside about henna tattoos.
  • I’m a Gemini.
  • Boredom about where a tattoo is before what a tattoo is?
  • The point of tattoos is that they’re permanent right?
  • For non-permanent tattoos, ask more about henna.
  • If decided on getting a tattoo, get the biggest tattoo possible.

  1. So if he did get one, it would have to be a tribal chest/over-the-shoulder tattoo. Sounds like he knows what he wants, and he wants that forever and ever.
