As an American, I have never PERSONALLY met anyone with an American flag tattoo that was a good person
Same.
same
Ariel ,As someone who is half Russian...
A hammer and sickle tattoo would be a major red flag tat to me
Same, just bad vibes
For me it depends. If it's some dipshit that just turned 18 wearing torn up jeans, a button up and cowboy boots then it's a red flag until proven otherwise. If it's a veteran, they have my absolute approval
A student in my ethnic studies class argued with our Native American professor that his tattoo of a skull with a headdress on isn't offensive. So many red flags there
I love when someone tells another person they are offended by something and that person mansplains to them why they couldn't possibly be offended by that thing. If someone finds something offensive, they find it offensive. You may not agree with why they are offended or think their opinion isn't important to you, but it doesn't change the fact that they are offended.
as a native american person I think I have all freedom to say this:
they are a sucky gross person for ignoring the blatant racism that is that tattoo.
you literally have whats implied to be a DEAD native persons SKULL, *ON. YOUR. BODY.*
not only that, but to disrespect the headdress and ignore the importance & history of it too is really f*cking shitty.
My head hurts from how hard i face palmed.
@@CAnatone i agree with 90% of this comment except for “mansplaning.” women and other people can be ignorant too
ok a skull isn't but a headdress? Why would they get one
i personally see nude/topless women tattoos on men as a red flag, even the traditional ones that aren’t super graphic. they always just read as creepy and misogynistic for some reason
Someone had to say it, it screams "I see women as objects and am addicted to porn"
I don't like nude tattoo as well for that reason, unless is the tattoo of a statue, I think that is different
I think some are completely fine. If it’s very sexual it can deff be a red flag, but there are some very artsy ones that I completely see good men getting
Sexually objectified depictions of women are a huge red flag for me too
I think if it’s an artistic nude it can be cool, bc women’s bodies have been the subject of beautiful art forever. But I agree abt the the really graphic or tasteless ones!!
A dominatrix Winnie sounds hilarious and not a red flag to me 😂😂
oh roly how i love you
I didn't expect if from Pooh i thought it was more of rabbit or piglet thing
@@tatiana4050 definitely rabbit
I feel like a lot of people in this article don't actually know what a "red flag" is. This was just another list of tattoos people don't like, not anything that can warn you someone isn't a good person. Yeah, some of them listed could be actual red flags, but most of them were just "I don't like this so I'm gonna call it a red flag." Not the same thing!
Buzzfeed is an echo chamber of very democratic politics and narrative. As biased as they come, so take the articles you read with a grain of salt.
I agree! Tattoos are forever and a person can always change and be different than they were at the time of getting it too.
I am the proud owner of some ugly tattoos, but I’d hate to think my dumb descusions as a teen really mean anything for my person now lol
Fr someone maybe being annoying isn't a red flag, someone being a danger to others is a red flag. The only one I can kinda agree with is the death eater one, I'm sure not everyone who gets it is a bad person but imho I would not trust sobering who has that because if it turns out they resonate with the fascist ideas of death eaters, that could be quite dangerous for me.
@@jackriver8385 Loll its a harry potter tattoo, chill. I would say it's more a red flag that the person is a nerd, not that they're a fascist.
@@jackriver8385 "the fascist ideas of death eaters" woooo okay that's enough internet for today lmao
Australian here: The Southern Cross is a constellation which can be easily seen from Australia, and is also on the Australian Flag. The tattoo is a common 'bogan' thing (kinda our version of a chav), and most people I've met with one are a bit racist and wilfully ignorant about our horrible history, or regret it. Common accompanying tattoos include your postcode and last name which for me are a package deal of Aussie tattoo red flags😅
100% this
Omg yes the postcode thing. We're not in LA dude
Exactly, a a red flag for sure.
Yeah I'm from New Zealand and it's seen on our flag and we can see The Southern Cross too, it's not a tattoo I've seen here I don't think...
@@ShortyStylez That's actually really interesting - pure speculation, but from the Kiwis I've met it seems Australia is generally more outwardly racist, and I've never seen any of you running around donned in your flag, but that's pretty common in Aus. Or maybe you all just saw Aussies going wild over it and thought 'oh no we don't want to be a part of that' 😂
In America, patriotism has become something of a cult. The people who slap flags on everything including themselves are often the same people chanting about traditionalism and the "American way," and advocate violence in order to maintain that way of life. Goes double if it's the flag with the thin blue line. Incidentally, traditionalism tends to include a healthy dose of sexism, racism, homophobia, etc. Tragically, the American flag really has become a red flag. If it's an older, faded tattoo, though, it might be from the bygone days when patriotism really was just a love of country.
Seethe
Yes, but, I admittedly don't think there's been a point when patriotism was "just a love of country" since before Vietnam. There might be an argument for the 80s, but that really wasn't a love of patriotism and more a love of sports and winning. Even during 9/11 the types of people who would get American flag tattoos were the same people accusing all Muslims of being terrorists. We have a pretty unfortunate history of patriotism being uncomfortably connected to racism.
For real I haven’t seen an American flag (besides in front of public buildings like schools/courthouses/Great America) without a “Stop The Jab!” Or “Trump 2020” haha who wants to move to the UK??? Canada starting to look real nice even with the snow lol
Yeah.....that's the patriotism I've always witnessed in 'I'm American" kind of people.
@@eloramaniatis6801 Sameeee Canada is looking nice.
I have a quote from my favorite book “Watership Down” tattooed onto my leg. It says “if they catch you they will kill you, but first they must catch you.” It’s a quote that has always stuck with me and I love it.
Ahhhhh always wanted a watership down one and this quote!
@@JodieBarbwireHeart yessss it’s such a good book!
Be cunning and full of tricks :)
As an autstic body modification apprentice, please everyone remember that the infinity symbol represents the autistic community. (Not all infinity tattoos are owned by autistic people obviously, but please keep this in mind before you judge it just because you think it's basic). It actually has heavy significance to alot of us
I didn't know that. I got my infinity symbol in college because I majored in math. And we used that symbol in my favorite classes (calculus 1,2 3, and differential equations). And I also got it to remind me that the possibilities are infinite which is meaningful given its placement, because I got it done over some particularly nasty self harm scars. So when people say it's "basic" it ticks me off, because they have no idea just how meaningful that tattoo is to me (not to mention that seeing it and not wanting to mess it up became excellent motivating to stop self harming). I just don't like people who judge others without knowing their story in general. A million people have a semicolon tattoo, but it's because it means something important to a lot of people.
I'm glad I know about the infinity symbols link to autism now though. One more reason to appreciate it.
I was looking for this comment, it kind of irks me that our community has such a small voice this isn't well known. It's no single person's fault, but anyone reading this please do your best to boost autistic voices :)
Exactly! My first tat is literally a rainbow infinity symbol cause I'm proud to be autistic. It is far from 'basic', it is a symbol of pride, like getting a Pride flag tattooed on you somewhere
And the _infinity_ symbol also means _infinity_ since its literal birth in both math and symbolic usage \_(=_=)_/
Wasn’t it also a puzzle piece symbol as well? Unless that’s more of Autism _Speaks_ thing... Though I’m kinda wondering, what does the infinity symbol correlate with Autism (speaking as an autistic person, I’ve never heard is this lmao)?
Overdone tattoos are not a red flag. Alot of those have major symbolic significance to some. Butterflies are often used to symbolize souls departed, same with feathers. Yes plenty of people get them because they are pretty or lack creativy, but it hurts no one
Yeah, a lot of people get the butterfly tattoos on their wrist for self harm survivor/healing reasons
The infinity symbol also represents the autistic community, so insulting it can be quite insensitive.
Agreed. Tons of people get Phoenixes, for instance, or Phoenix feathers, and there are many layers to that, such as rebirth, renewal, new beginnings, overcoming death, etc.
@@lexdraws1729 or a semicolon
I saw an Ink Master Video yesterday and there was this woman who got a clock tatto because her father was a watchmaker and the time on the clock shows the birthday of her son. (...) very beautiful!
When you think about the "canvases" that go on such a show. Some of them get a tattoo motive that was not chosen by them. I don't see anything bad about it as long as they commit to it. (maybe the show itself has problems but I'm only interested in the art)
Almost everyone in the US who gets a massive American flag tattoo is hard right wing conservative that confuses patriotism with nationalism
conservatives are far from hard right wing bro
@@earlturner5449 on what planet is that? Cons are notoriously right wingers in Canada
@@alexxxaification conservatives are just liberals five years late. They stand for the same things the left does but they just move the goal post by saying things like “democrats are the real racist.”
That just happened in the last few years though. If their tattoo is older than that, it’s just a regular ol’ American flag
@@marina4701 maybe it depends on what part of the country you're from, but coming from the south, a blatant American flag tattoo is only a step or two above a confederate flag tattoo.
The dark mark/deatheater tattoo is connected to the ideology of "pure blood" which is very much connected to racism. My partner is Slytherin and really wanted that tattooed but also didn't want people to think he in any way believes in those ideas so he's going to get the illustration from the book instead of the well known movie version - I think it should pass for a cool skull and snake tattoo and be a Harry Potter reference for us 👍🏻
It's a fucking fictional children's novel. Get a grip on reality, please.
You are literally insane
But what if the person just likes the characters
@@terminaldeity written by a woman with very specific ideologies..
@@terminaldeity mate 1 st world problems lol everything is racist nowadays
i have to disagree with the language one. it's too general. in the case of east asian languages, yes, they are usually done for the aesthetic, and it's often cultural appropriation. but i know a lot of people who get tattoos in french/latin/ancient greek because it's an influential quote that doesn't translate well to english and means something to them. as a greek speaker, i think it's fine to get an ancient greek quote if you don't speak greek. we shouldn't assume appropriation when the tattoo might be more meaningful
I agree. I see that more as, appreciation and not appropriation
Thank you. I haven't yet had the chance to travel outside the US, but I really want to and I already decided that when I do, I want a small tattoo in the whatever lagging is the native one of the first country I travel too. (Really want to go to angkor wat, so that would be cool.) But for me it's specifically about the fact that I went there and got to experience that culture, and I'd be damn sore to pay for a translator to abrogated make sure or said the right thing.
I've also been thinking about getting the word rice in Chinese, but that's specifically because I worked at a Chinese restaurant for 8 years and it was a huge chunk of my life. Sometimes people have reasons. I knew a girl who got a tattoo in farsi, despite not speaking a word because it was her great grandmother's native language. I think intention really matters there
@@bottomofastairwell Chinese isn't a language though. China has over 10 languages spoken in it if I'm not mistaken. The biggest one is Mandarin. What I like about it though is when my best friend, who studies China Studies explained to me how the original kanji related to the words they portray with a bit of a showcase in how you can still see it in specific cases if you know where and how to look. :)
But I, a totally not Chinese person like your idea behind that tattoo. It's sweet.
I totally agree! I am going to get something in Sanskrit that doesn’t make sense when translated to english; if someone who didn’t know Sanskrit did the same- I would see that as appreciation
Yes, I don't agree with the language one either. I do want to get a tattoo in Korean because I have wanted that word for ages tattooed on me and I played around with so many fonts for the word in English but never got it to look good. I started studying Korean and then got the idea to actually write it in hangul instead. The word is 믿음 which means trust so it could go into the "inspirational quote" section too but it's just a reminder for me.
I can't stand nsfw tattoos, especially for the people that show them off wherever, it's always a creepy man who's obviously objectifying women even if it's just one of those topless pinups. I was watching a video discussing them yesterday and one of the comments mentioned that he'll show them off wherever and teach children about anatomy when they ask about the tattoos 🙃. Ignoring the obvious lack of respect for consent, it is illegal, at least where I'm from, to show children sexually explicit content, like you'll be accused of trying to groom that child.
Oh that's grim. I do have a horny tattoo, but I very specifically chose the placement so that it would be covered if I'm wearing literally any clothing because even though it's not explicit it would feel weird for people to just see it as I go about my daily life. Can't imagine deliberately showing it off, especially to children 🤢
"it'll teach them anatomy" lmao, have you *seen* the anatomy on those tattoos? Nothing realistic about that
the other day I saw a man with an ahegao tattoo, i felt a bit unsafe
@@arielpintar8146 100% reasonable reaction, the anime ones always manage to push the worst boundaries
I unfortunately want to eventually get Elvira or lady death somewhere on my legs. But I think taking this in mind I should settle for somewhere on the tummy or back
As an Australian: the southern cross is on our flag, and those who get it tattooed are the super patriotic kind (which is usually linked to being racist)
I feel like we're slowly transitioning to being like America. More people are shifting from patriotism to nationalism.
Can confirm the Aussie man I know who has one is probably the most despicable male I have met to this day… I laughed a little at that thread. To each their own…
@@BeccaRayRay The nationalism and racism in Australia is old and been present for a while tho. Its a flag with colonizer ties
@@xexee1823 but now it's louder than ever. The world is changing, and these people will be dragged screaming into the new world. It's like the whole change the date debate. People dig their heels in because they don't see what the issue is and change means losing the things the know.
@@BeccaRayRay Lol Straya's been like this forever, white Aussies are only starting to notice the racism now.
As an American, especially as one in the Pacific Northwest, I can confirm an American flag tat is indeed a red flag. When an American goes out of their way to rep the flag like that it definitely carries specific, bad connotations.
I would say the only exception to this is if it's on a soldier and they're generally not only the flag. It usually has a helmet or a gun or some wording with it
Yeah. Personally, the only people I find with that tattoo are the ones that will threaten you for disagreeing with them or are just overall racist/homophobic. Rarely you'll find a soldier, it's still a 50/50 shot if they're good or not.
I agree. Most of the US doesn’t even like being in the US, let alone get a tattoo praising the government.
@@IrelandFyre i’d argue it’s an even bigger red flag on a vet because they’ve likely seen first hand the worst of American policy both done to them and that they were made to do so like if after all that they are still interested in repping it they probably aren’t a good person.
@@jerseyfrill I completely agree. This is why my husband was so relieved he didn't get an eagle, globe, & anchor tattoo during his time of service. He still loves the guys he served with, his friends, but his time in the military caused him to hate what the US does to other countries and its own service people. We're mostly anti-war now.
Red flag: someone who makes assumptions about and condemns people based on their tattoos. (Unless of course it's a racist/sexist/hateful tattoo. Then judge away!)
Im heavily tattooed and i never make assumptions based on the themes a person chose to get tattoos and im fine with a couple horrible party tattos.BUT when i see people with small and cheap tattoos just for the sake of having ink on themselves i get triggered. Shows they're not willing to invest money time and brain on something we share common love for
Yes, yes yes!!!! I was about to say the same thing!!
@QueerAssTiefling yeah that's fine. maybe the word " triggered " is an exaggeration. But the rest of my point answers the question.
@QueerAssTiefling I'm sure your tattoos are very fine then. I'm poor myself too and but I have some decent pieces. But I'm getting tattooed every 2-3 years or so.
@QueerAssTiefling just another thought. My last tattoo was from a world class 8-12 month waiting list artist. While I really admire every single detail in his work, I believe I could settle with hardworking- passionate artists who maybe are not as flashy as him . I'm not the kind of person that believes that all good tattoos are expensive, or all cheap tattoos are bad, either. But you also pay for the chances that your tattoo won't have a blowout or something unpredictably bad that will ruin the experience
I’m more disgusted by the attitude taken to women being tattooed, than most of the things people choose. A lot of tattoo magazines sexualise tattooed women in a truly creepy way, and as for the moronic so-called men that have RUclips’s slagging off women for tattoos, short hair etc etc… don’t get me started…
Agreed. Have you seen Inked's posts before? Like, yes women with tattoos are cool but I don't want to see a half naked women with her shorts up her butt squatting in my feed. It's all sexual stuff. Like do what you want, but this is why dudes harass women with mods. They paint them to be slutty just because they have a huge back tattoo or a little something on their thigh. I have no idea how to explain this lol. But that's what I notice with a lot of these tattoo accounts on social media
True true.
@@Kakmanmartinez666 Nothing wrong with being slutty, but even if women weren’t portrayed that way.
Some men still wouldn’t respect us.
kinda unrelated i like to call the "so-called men" 'nem'. perfect because its not outright insulting but you definitely know the type of guy it describes (i didnt come up with the term)
Prominently displaying the American flag on your body, vehicle, or clothes is very common among self-identified "patriots," aka the more militant right-wing types. That's what that one is about.
Just wondering though - what if I were to get a flag for Scotland? Would that have the same effect? Just curious. Although doubt I would, if I were getting something patriotic or related to my nationality it would likely be a thistle, they’re prettier
@@sleeplessinscotland2578 nah, another country's flag wouldn't mean anything to most people. The American flag has become divisive because the right has decided they're the party that loves the country more so they put American flags on everything. It's politicized the flag to the point that when I see a person with an American flag tattoo I generally assume they're a conservative.
@@saintblackangel good point. It’s pretty rare here to see someone with a Scottish flag up - maybe if they’re playing football but usually people don’t have such things whereas it’s pretty common to be obsessed with the flag for the US is it not? Like, having them up at your house, in your car etc. I do quite like the simplicity of the Scottish flag though, it’s quite pretty in its own way - the American flag is quite a busy pattern so would need to be quite big as a tattoo. It’s a shame as people should be free to show their love for their country if they choose to, but as usual the loud, obnoxious minority ruin things for everyone
@@saintblackangel that's more on you than them really.
@@saintblackangel in my country (Portugal) there's also that association, although I haven't seen many tattoos (and also since there are a lot of imigrants that use it as a sense of having something from their home country? but yeah)
Getting a Chinese character as a tattoo is not cultural appropriation, as long as you know what it means. They are beautiful characters, it's a beautiful language. If that's cultural appropriation then no non-Chinese person should learn Mandarin, and no non-native English speakers should get English tattoos. Languages are made for communication, and to break barriers down between people.
I really really want a Chinese character that means noodles cus that'd be hilarious
Thank you! I hate how people put use of other languages in the same appropriation category as actually problematic things that harm people.
So many pipelette get like “soup” tattooed on their backs and say “it means love in mandarin🥺”
I totally agree, I just find it cringe and stupid when they don't know what the character means and they just got it cause it looks neat. At least know what it says.
How about chlamydia
I feel that some people take tattoos waaaaay too seriously. Just do whatever you like, it's art, doesn't have to have a deep meaning
Some tattoos can be offensive. I knew someone who had BDSM scenes on her stomach stating her sexual preferences, hidden (not really hidden tho) vaginas and anus in her other tattoos, weird body parts getting fingered etc... I have a lot of tattoos, but I still couldn't let my kid see that. I can understand a lot of things, doesn't mean I validate everything
I purposely got a tattoo that means absolutely nothing lol
Some tattoos are wrong though, my father has an iron cross for example.
Someone: oh i like how the colors in your tatoo represent your courage and the shapes so delicate, i bet it has religious connotations, the purity of the miracle that is flourishing in rough situations an-
Me: *hihi watermelon slice yummy*
I agree as long as it’s original art and not designs stolen from IG or Pinterest
Apart from offensive tattoos, it really doesn’t bother me. It’s people’s own bodies and own choices what they have tattooed on them. People might not like mine and I might not like theirs but it’s not really anyone else buisness
FR, unless your getting a litteral Nazi swastika, you shouldn't be judged by what tattoos you have.
@@redzgaming6880 This is what I'm saying lol.
I have a quote tattoo, mine is "lupus non mordet lupum" it roughly translates means wolves never eat wolves, to me it signifies loyalty to anyone who I consider family. I think quote tattoos are often a deeply personal tattoo so to say they are red flags are unfair
"Wolf does not bite wolf. Since wolves are commonly known as the villains that kill the innocent sheep it is about human behavior too. Those that are criminals and oppressors work together to prey on the weak. They leave each other alone because each is more formidable than any other victim."
Also, I'm pretty sure the Latin is wrong. First, "lupus" is singular, then the verb should go at the end of the sentence. So, "Lupus lupum non mordet" (the wolf *singular* doesn't bite the wolf *also singular*)
I'm planning on getting an "inspirational quote" tattoo in a language I don't speak lol, it's a verse from Sappho so I do know the translation and stand by the meaning, I'll get it in the original Lesbic Greek but it translates roughly to "may you rest on the breast of your tender woman companion", or "nap on gf's boob". Truly lesbians have never changed
I personally like "old-fashioned" tattoos. I don't have any tattoos, but have thought of getting one often. And to be honest, I would get like a beautiful peacock feather or something. I love peacocks, they're gorgeous. A tattoo for me would be purely aesthetic, just for "decoration". So I'd get something I like the look of.
Traditional/old school is the actual name of the style of tattoo your talking about.
Love peacocks! Ever since I learned Hunter S Thompson used to keep them as pets. Personalities like puppies. ❤
if you haven’t already, go for it when you can! you can totally get tattoos for the aesthetic, it’s your body 💗
Most of these "red flags" just sounds like someone that doesn't like certain tattoos and this is their list. Get what you want - you don't have to justify it to anyone.
Yeah an American flag is a red flag. And some blue and white
Funny, but in a literal sense, it depends on the person. Some people can be patriotic in a Donald Trump way, some people aren't. My uncle talked a lot of shit about Trump when he was president
I definitely think they are a red flag tattoo where I am from.
@@alderfae9898 While I agree that things like this usually depend on the tattoed individual, in my limited experience (I've only lived in TX and CA suburbs my whole life), American flag tattoos usually ended up being red flags :/
Lol. I literally said the same thing when they mentioned it.
Mostly cringe but not all are red flags
would put red flags on extreme political views, racism, homophobia definitely.
Can’t say something is a red flag if I just don’t like it
My next tattoo is going to be a wee ghost in a bottle - going with my sister and will be our second matching tattoo - I don’t especially care what other people think about my choices, I like my tattoos. I think judging people based on tattoos, outside of racist type ones, are the real red flag here 🤷🏼♀️
This sounds adorable!
@@rozharris6834 I think so. Most of my tattoos are kinda cute. I’ve most of a sleeve done of flowers in black and grey with 4 coloured bugs on them, one for each of my kids - planning to fill the last spaces with my family’s birth flowers - and a magpie in memory of my dad. My oldest daughter turns 18 this year and wants to go get coralline tattoos together for her birthday, how can I refuse
@@sleeplessinscotland2578 ohmygod that's so cute! Well all the tats are very cute and beautifully symbolic but I love Coraline, that's gonna be such a special moment for your daughter to share with you :)
agree with you there, love the idea hope it turns out nice and you love the ghost tattoo 😊
I'm from the Midwestern United States, and I've never met anyone with an American flag tattoo that wasn't at the very least a little racist. I also think Punisher tattoos are the young person version of vaguely racist tattoos
My boyfriend has a death eater tattoo he did on himself back when he was pursuing tattooing. I told him I thought it was kinda cringe but that it was his body and at the end of the day, I didn't care. He never thought about the death eater ideology, he just... loves harry potter and thought it was cool. People need to stop looking that deep into things, media can just stay media. I forget the tattoo is from HP honestly, and in that way it kinda grew on me !
Yeah, the meaning is iffy but the death eater symbol is honestly just a take on a very traditional pairing for tattoes. Besides, I feel that age is a factor in these things: if you got a cringy tattoo before 20 that's not a red flag but just one of those growing up mistakes (unless you are still 20 obviously)
@@franknstein5376 ahah yes he got it pretty young, it's not the best tattoo, but besides jk rowling turning out to be a massive asshole, he still kinda likes it ! I guess he just forgets it's even there most of the time.
I was like "how does liking Harry Potter make you a racist?" But it's BuzzFeed.
@@roxassora2706 Pretty farfetched, imo.
@@plumdutchess I agree but I know a few Harry Potter fans who are liberal (my mom and a friend of mine) who would love a Harry Potter tattoo
I wonder how many people have the infinity symbol tattooed as the symbol for autism acceptance. The rainbow infinity symbol is used in autism advocacy. So sad that people say it's cringe and overdone when it could mean something like that which would be a very cool tattoo!
I'm one of them! I have a cat with a rainbow infinity sign on a necklace around the cat.
Yeah, I actually love the rainbow infinity symbol. I've actually been thinking about getting it tattooed myself. It reminds me of a friend of mine who has an autistic brother so he got a puzzle piece symbol on his arm when he turned 18. I felt so bad for him that he has that on his arm forever! apparently he looked up "Autism symbol" and that's what came up so he got it tattooed.
@@rabbitking-maatt6759 the puzzle piece is a symbol for autism. There’s some controversy about it, but it’s definitely linked to autism.
@@sunnyandthechlo I think you might have misunderstood me. Yes i know it's linked to Autism but it's considered more of a hate symbol in the autistic community, it's not exactly the symbol you want to get tattooed on your body for life. Most people link it to the hate group Autism Speaks. That's why i said i felt bad for my friend who got it tattooed after a quick google search.
@@rabbitking-maatt6759 Ohh okay I got you. Yeah I know the symbol is now linked to some pretty awful things. I thought you meant he accidentally got something totally random.
I think at the end of the day a particularly hateful tattoo is the only real red flag for me because 1) a tattoo might be old and not represent who they are anymore but rather a time in their life. 2) sometimes a tattoo that might look tacky from the outside might have a really deep meaning to the wearer. Just seeing how judgmental some people are .. it's just ironic that tattooed people are judging others so harshly just based on what they look like from the outside (mostly referring to some comments below) when we spent so many years trying to get people to judge us for how we act not how we look
There are also people with offensive tattoos that still represent them ( I commented about an ex friend so I'm not gonna write it again). Because you are tattooed does not mean you think all tattoos are great. Offensive tattoos are offensive for people with or without tattoos. I can say I am heavily tattooed, I'm a mom, and my kid loves my tattoos. But I saw tattoos irl that he should not ever see.
@@gwlad1575 did you even read the comment? yours seems unrelated to the point they were making. a tweety bird tattoo is not "offensive" lol
I think the deatheater tattoo is really cool but I understand that it can be linked to problematic ideals, which is a shame, but fair.

Agree on the infinity symbol usually having a personal meaning behind it. My mum has one on her ankle that was tattooed with her husband’s ashes, it’s obviously super meaningful to her and it’s actually really pretty.
(edited to add: my best friend at school got a Tweety Bird for her first tattoo in about 2000 😂 not seen her in years but I imagine it’s probably covered up by now! They were so ubiquitous in the 90s/early 00s)
I feel like having someone’s ashes shoved into your skin with a needle isn’t exactly a good idea
I was told I could do this with my mom's ashes but I'd feel really weird digging in my mom's urn for a tattoo. I do however have a tattoo on my chest as a tribute for her
I’d never heard of this! It’s cool, I wonder how they keep it safe/sanitary though? I’d love to have a piece of my mom with me always, I dread the day she leaves this earth with me
I’m not sure how it all works tbh, but there is a method they can use to mix a small amount of somebody’s ashes in with tattoo ink safely and hygienically. My mum had hers done at a reputable studio years ago and it healed fine, just looks like a normal tattoo. I’ll have to ask her more about what it is they actually do to make it safe.
@@BornNoU i have seen an artist talk about it, they can use hair or ashes, it gets sent off to be carbonized thus making it sterile and like a powdered pigment and then it is added to the tattoo ink specially for the person/people getting the tattoo done. Almost like how there are labs that can turn cremains into diamonds with a ton of heat and pressure.
I have an issue with the foreign language thing, though, because how would someone who doesn't know me know whether I speak Italian or not? (I do, by the way.)
I think they were specifically referring to when you know the person doesn't speak the language. Like someone who doesn't speak Japanese getting Japanese characters on them because they think it looks cool. Or if you don't speak Russian and get something in cyrillic tattooed on themselves.
*Speak or read the language.
I disagree with the foreign language thing too, but it’s pretty obvious when someone gets a language tattooed incorrectly on themselves, especially when they explain what it means and it’s… wrong. Or when it’s grammatically incorrect or something.
@@Catfeine I guess I feel like...it is your body, get what you want. Some tattoos are problematic, but I think it is more about the intention behind it that makes something problematic (obviously racist tattoos are crystal clear regarding the intention behind them so for me those are always problematic). If someone who isn't Japanese, has a love and respect for the culture and gets a Japanese character tattooed on themselves even though they can't read the language, I wouldn't think it is problematic because it came from a place of appreciation of and a connection to that culture.
Again, anyone can get what they want but I personally wouldn't want to offend other people with a tattoo that makes it seem like I am using a part of their culture without any understanding or appreciation of it.
You're right that most people can't tell at a glance what languages you can and can't speak, but I think that we've all heard stories about a girl who got "Brave" in Japanese kanji, only to later meet a Japanese person who wonders why they got "beef" tattooed on them or whatever.
I'd say definitely get a consultation from a person who speaks and writes the language, just to be sure before you make it permanent!
My first tattoo is “This too shall pass” on my right side on the ribs. It was a very rough year of my life, I was 21 my fiancé broke up with me after 5yrs of being together, I was trying to figure out what to do with my life and I’ve been hearing that quote a few times trough the year just randomly like in movies and on the radio. I thought it was a sign that things will get better and it definitely did cause at the beginning of the new year got back together with my fiancé which is now my husband of 9yrs and we have 3 amazing kids and life is getting even better.
Love this video! That Buzzfeed list is... wow. I mean, if I went by that list, I ´d have to hate myself for my lack of ink creativity. I have, what my tattoo artist likes to call, "trashy tattoos". A tribal, chinese writing, roses, feathers, quotes, sibling tattoos, numbers, letters, my zodiac sign, a sun, climing ivy, something that should be a flower... I have the trends that have long passed and the personal tattoos, but I also have tats that I got for fun ( an eight ball, a random triangle, a miniature star, a miniature champagne flute). Some I drew myself, and some I picked from the tattoo artists wall. Nothing matches together and I do NOT care. I love the art on my body, even the tramp stamp. lol. I see these styles as personal milestones that remind me of specific moments in my life.
Really dig your eye make-up lately!
Edit: re the "red-flag" tattoos: most of the critique sounds like coming from people who would not be tattooed themselves, otherwise they should be fine with everybody doing their own inspired tattoo thing, story/meaning or not.
My thoughts exactly
I have a lot of tattoos, and I am offended by an ex friend tattoos and didn't want my son to see her tattoos. Just because I have a lot of tattoos doesn't mean I forgot what is appropriate or not.
@@gwlad1575 Um the majority of the tattoos in the article aren’t offensive.
@@MoonMoonTM I'm not talking about the ones in the video, I'm talking irl
@@gwlad1575 Fam the OP is literally referring to what is in the video. I.e the article. You might want to reread what they said.
As someone who has two bigger fine line pieces, I am SO DONE with people thinking they have the right to comment on my body and try to "educate" me, based on one Buzzfeed article or Inked video they once saw about fine line tattoos. If you weren't asked, then go elsewhere with your audacity. This, of course, goes for a lot of styles as well.
Can't people just stop caring what others has on their body and just focus on getting what they like themselves on their own body??
It comes down a lot to prejudice, I think. My mom has an infinity symbol tattoo with a heart and a paw print, it means infinite love for animals. It might be a bit cliché, but she loves it and it has a special meaning for her, so for me it doesn’t matter how cliché it is.
In regards to quotes I personally don’t care for lettering tattoos, they’re just not me, so for now I don’t see myself getting any tattoos that contain words, but my boyfriend has a tattoo in Japanese that means bushido, and he loves it and it looks good on him, so who cares.
I have a Japanese Kanji tattooed and I’m French, I don’t think this is cultural appropriation ´cause I literally done it because I love Japanese language. I met some Japanese people and they all really loved the fact that some French chick have Japanese on her body ! So yeah, I still love it and I’m proud of it
@QueerAssTiefling as weeb trash myself I want to buy a yukata to wear for our fan meetup-matsuris here and am afraid of being accused of appropriation.
also your username is awesome.
My sister has “most ardently” tattooed on her ribcage. It’s a quote from Pride and Prejudice. She got it with her best friend who got a different quote and each was done in the other’s handwriting. I think that’s really neat.
I also had a coworker who had the names of her loved ones written by them tattooed on her. It was really special because a few, like her aunt’s name and her Grandma’s name, they have since passed away, so she really treasures the fact that she has those to honor them and remember them by.
Glad you went into a bit more detail on the infinity I agree that they are everywhere but they also have a lot of different meanings. Been thinking about getting it as it’s associated with autism and I just had my assessment as an adult, I’m also looking to get the semicolon for my battles with mental health
The Southern Cross constellation is on the Aussie flag. It's a tattoo that only bogans get. Definitely a red flag
1000% a red flag!! Literally saw a guy yesterday walking shirtless with the Southern Cross on his chest, and his man nipples were the two side stars!
Can confirm. Other banga red flags include a Ned Kelly helmet or the "such is life" quote.
@@BeccaRayRay or a Footy team logo
It’s so sad, I went to sovereign hill on an excursion when I was 11 or 12, and the story of the eureka flag (the one with the southern cross) really touches me. Im so sad what the flag has become.
Honestly I think this whole article misses the actual meaning of “red flag”. They’re like oh if a person has this then they’re a jerk…like okay but that’s not exactly bad enough for a red flag? Idk if it’s just me. Cause like…to me tattoos that raise red flags are ones that neo Nazis would have…ya know? Like…I see a dude with a triskelion tattoo and I stay far away because that’s a very popular neo nazi tattoo. Honestly, anything that isn’t hate group or like…cult related is fine by me. Be cliche and cringe if you want…rules are fake.
Seriously?! First neo-nazis try to claim the Thor hammer and now the triskelion? My god, stop stealing other people's symbols for your racist bullshit! At least (from what I can see on Google) it's not a traditional/spiral triskelion, but still.
@@raven_moonshine39 Your kidding right? The swastika used by the original nazis was also stolen 🤦♂️ the swastika is a common religious symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism and while I love the symbology and meaning, it's kinda hard to get a swastika tattoo without people thinking your a nazi. It's not the first time a hate group has taken a peaceful symbol and won't be the last.
I'm an Aussie. The Southern Cross is the constellation that we have on our flag. A lot of white blokey men get them and are often racist. There were riots in Crunulla one year that were racially motivated and the tattoo became synonymous with that because a lot of the perpetrators had them
I got carpe diem tattooed on my wrist over self harm scars because I was done with seeing the results of my past and they upset my daughter. When I over came that part of my brain that was done with life, I seized the day so it felt right to have something meaningful for me to cover the past and remind me to keep looking forward for tomorrow and carpe diem.
Would I see a Death Eater tattoo and assume someone is racist? No. I think the majority of people who have it just like Harry Potter and think the design is cool. Do I fully understand wanting to align yourself with fictional bad guys who want to do a genoc!de? Not really. I similarly don't really get why people get storm trooper/Darth Vader tattoos, but I don't see these things on people and assume they're actually politically aligned with space fasc!sm... I do get the point about it being kinda cringe/red-flaggy in context, but I think more "eek, edge lord alert" than "that person is a racial supremacist".
i have the death eater tattoo so i can explain why i got it, for me it’s not about their ideology cause their ideology is dumb af, i just did bad things in my life and i wanted a reminder of the bad i did everyday, kinda like a punishment. a way to never forget this little part of darkness that i have inside. so i thought about it cause it reminded me of that
(sorry for my english)
I have a quote tattoo, I got it a month ago (and it’s my first). It says “dare to be something more” from Invisible by hunter hayes. It covers my whole forearm because it’s something that has helped me through my worst moments-the song, the quote, and the singer. I’ve already noticed myself able to calm down quicker by rereading it and tracing it. It is a permanent reminder that I can always be better than what has hurt me.
My aunt has a ton of red flag tattoos, most of them she saw on the internet and copied. I myself at one point was going to follow her, but I've learned not to because a lot of the times tattoos have special meaning to an individual. When you copy it, I feel like it depletes the meaning to the original individual. Side note tattoos in a foreign language of which you don't understand/speak, would forever make me laugh when it's then translated. I've even seen a court case where a girl sued her best friend who said she knew mandarin, so she trusted her with the tattoo idea. 😂
Dam, but it's still up to her to check. I've done this looked up the word and then talked with a tattoo artist of that background about it. However, prior to that I was using the language to a certain extent so I was able to look it up and get a gont that I love. It helps but not necessary, you just need to put the work in to confirm it's what you want.
I've got the quote, *"Don't dream it ; be it."* on my forearm. It's a quote from Rocky Horror Picture Show and my semicolon tattoo. Two birds, one stone. I regret nothing
The dark mark tattoo is a definite red flag for me. The death eaters were based on Nazis so the tattoo gives off major dogwhistle vibes. I’m aware that most people who have it are probably lovely people who just wanted it bc it was a Harry Potter thing. But like at very least they should be aware of the context behind the tattoo and that it might give off the wrong impression
OMG YES!! I dont understand that either. It has nothing to do with being slytherin or like ‘darker’. It is still a cult-ish club undermining people who aren’t ‘clear blooded’. It’s basically nazis 🤦🏽♀️
Right? There's so much cool imagery in the HP franchise. Why are you choosing the one thing that all the Nazi bad guys wear? It definitely raises an eyebrow for me.
Exactly! The Deatheaters were a Nazi allegory. Rowling is on record saying this. Everyone in this comment section saying "I got it because I'm a Slytherin" or "I just thought it looked cool. It's not that deep" I want to reply with "did you actually read the books?" They're not the "goth wizards" or the "misunderstood bad guys." They are Nazis. They are racist. They believe in blood purity and will kill and torture people who disagree with them. And, to be clear, I don't even generally assume people with those tattoos are racist, I generally just assume they stopped reading/watching at Goblet of Fire and missed all the other horrific shit the Deatheaters did or were said to have done. There are better ways to show your fandom than etching the symbol of the literal wizard Nazis into your skin 🤦🏻♀️
I got a death eater tattoo right when I turned 18, nearly 10 years ago. It was edgy and cool to me at the time and I had loved HP since I was a little kid. I hadn't really connected any of the death eater ideas to real life, I just thought "wizard bad guy cool". I was still innocent enough to think the Allies beat fascism for good in WWII. I knew hardcore racists were still a thing, but thought those guys are all batshit crazy or joined a gang in prison. They couldn't possibly be the middle aged dude down the street.
Then I started paying attention to what was happening, the rise of the alt right online before the 2016 American presidential election, the spread of alt right and Q anon beliefs from 4chan trolls to facebook dads. I came out as trans in 2017... later Rowling went full mask off transphobic.
Soooo I need to get this thing lasered off. 💀
@@patchopossum9414 If it's well done, maybe instead of lasering, add to it! Like flowers overtaking it or it being eviscerated by a spell. That way you can still have your "wizard bad guy cool" but you can also show that they were beaten, that love wins, that nature reclaims, that you have lived and you've learned, whatever sentiment you want to attach to it :p It'll be an especially meaningful tattoo at that point as it gets to show off a love of yours and a story of how you've grown since getting it.

The biggest red flag for me is anyone who thinks they have the right to judge and/or have Any opinion on what anybody does with their own body! It's nobody's business what tattoo I choose or placement of said tattoo, keep your nose out of other people's business, the people who care about other people's life choices must have too much time on their hands and such a boring existence that they even care!?! Biggest ever red flags right there!!
holy cow an adult! well done Holden!
THANK YOU! Finally someone who shares my opinion on this. Stop caring so much about my body and start worrying about your own. It's honestly worrying how many people has the audacity to speak down about other's art.
Yeah okay, and it's also entirely my right to avoid people with white supremacist tattoos all over the place. Why do I care? Because if I'm in a social situation with the person it's definitely an indicator to run in the opposite damn direction.
And sometimes I just think other people have shit taste, if people think it makes me cunty to talk about having opinions while in a situation far removed from the person I saw it on, so be it. I have no doubt that people would have the same opinions of how I style myself.
@@LadyAhro tattoos are a good indication of that person's personally and interests so judging someone by their tattoos is a good way to tell what kind of person they're before speaking with them

I was gifted a Rupi Kuar poetry book my freshman year of high school. There was this one poem that really caught me.

the death eaters were based on the nazis so while yeah I don't think everyone that has a dark mark tattoo is a racist (and in fact most probably just thought it looked cool) those tattoos still make me super uncomfortable and I definitely judge people who have them. At bare minimum, anyone who gets one should be aware of the implication and how some people might view it
I'm pretty sure some actual not-sees get that, along with Viking ships (I think it's Viking ships)

The vast majority of these aren’t red flag, as much as cliches that indicate personality traits. Not hate to you or tats. I love tattoos and people can do what they want. And for the death eater, I cannot confirm but I have I have often heard that the death eaters represent a prejudice minority. Otherwise seen as potentially white supremacy which is how there can be a racist context. It’s a selfish elite ideal.
It's buzzfeed they do this bullshit all the time. People get the death eater tattoo because they like harry potter and the design which is just a combination of traditional tattoo designs not because they believe in the fictional ideology. Most this list is just really this is the best you can come up with?
The Deatheaters were literally written to be the wizarding equivalent to Nazis.
Death Eaters are 100% an allegory fort Nazis and Neonazis, not to mention all the unsavory comments from the author recently. I'd just steer clear away from those people.
@@briandaaranda9735 it's a tattoo based on traditional tattoos just mashed from something people like it's not that deep
@@briandaaranda9735
they are also 100% fictional and set in a magical world with magical creatures and their victims are also non-existent, and they are also cartoonish written and not at al a realistic allegory.
You MIGHT'VE had a point if the villains were victimising a group of people in the real world like jews or lgbt, and if the situations were written in a very realistic and gruesome manner.
But people should be allowed to enjoy villains purely for the entertainment they bring. When I see someone with a death eater tattoo I think "wow this guy is a massive nerd!", I don't think "wow this guy endorses genocide!!"
As a Slytherin I always wanted to get a death eater tattoo because I like skulls and snakes lol
I don’t see anything wrong with getting a death eater tattoo, and it’s definitely not a racist tattoo. Like death eaters wish for the wizard line to be made up of all purebloods, but 1. that’s a fictional thing and 2. the color of someone’s skin has nothing to do with it. Buzzfeed’s false claims infuriates me sometimes cause the dark mark looks epic, and it is not some neo-nazi tattoo.
It's honestly a reason why I hope they go bankrupt as a company so we stop getting these dumb virtue signalling things
It is more of a "Nazi" thing I think, since there are so many parallels between the death eaters and the nazis.
Yeah I can see the meaning of it in the film parallels the real world. But some were just bad guys or undercover who had it, so it's a fictional film. My thought is, cool you got a harry potter tattoo and it's not the deathly hallows, rad!
@@Evilian33 I guess so, but you could say that about literally any extremist group that has a goal in mind of “one true thing”. So many groups or movements of some sort in history could be paralleled with death eaters in relation to an insane leader who has physically marred themself, a cleansing of some sort, and the basis that they are a ‘family” of outcasts (think cult). That’s why race and such simply does not factor in with the tattoo for me.
I don’t think a death eater means racist it’s just a HP thing lol
As an American, having an American flag tattoo is most definitely a red flag (literally & figuratively)
When someone mentioned "goth/emo cartoon characters", they meant cartoon characters (like SpongeBob) that aren't normally emo or goth, dressed up to look that way. It's cringy imo, but not a red flag. Now what IS a red flag, is definitely tribal tattoos, specifically on men. Any man I've met that had a tribal tattoo was most definitely not above board in many aspects. My oldest cousin, for example, has tribals all over his right arm, and that dumbass is a chronic drug user, narcissist, and has a complete inability to understand that he's in the situation he's in entirely because of what he has done, and not at all because of the people he vehemently points fingers at. A guy I was seeing for a bit also had a tribal, and he turned out to be a conspiracy nut, racist, and homophobe.
As someone who is/has been a bit goth/emo, AND who enjoys spongebob. I'm appalled by the lack of connection there. They just threw random words together. I don't have a spongebob tattoo, but I have heavily considered getting when he is trying to write a paper, and only makes a very flowery "The". haha
People don’t seem to realize that they could just say “I personally wouldn’t get that tattooed on myself” instead of taking benign tattoos and treating them like astrological predictions about a person’s behavior.
And it’s funny how they all hate the same tattoo trends while thinking they’re so above being unoriginal.
My first tattoo was a tribal tattoo that is a heavy metal band soulfly symbol I got it because of my love for the music of the band as for quotes I have my shadow that lies on the floor shall be lifted never more because of the fact I'm an Edgar Allen poe fan and tribute to Vincent price

1. Part of a Queen song
2. Part of a Hamilton's musical song
3. Lord of the Rings quote
4. Shakespeare quote
5. X-Files quote

As someone who has a Death Eater / dark mark tattoo I can tell you I got it just because I thought the symbol was cool. And I'm a huge fan of the Harry Potter universe. I can't stand racism, I don't think I'm a pureblood, and I sure as hell don't share any of Death Eater ideologies. The whole purpose of me getting it was because I thought it was a cool design and it wanted the tattoos since I was a teenager. Plus if it really was related to anything racist, or hateful then they wouldn't be selling legitimate licensed merchandise with the mark. It's another one of those things where people are grasping at straws just trying to find something to hate
So true!
I'm sorry, but unfortunately you are completely incorrect about people not selling stuff that is "legitimately racist".
Like just spend two seconds looking into American football teams or Roahl Dahl's Witches book or like most pieces of media beyond just a brief moment. Like history quite quickly will prove you wrong. The entirety of Disneyland's Splash Mountain is also a huge indicator of this issue (based on a movie so notoriously racist they haven't distributed it since like the 80s).
I'm not saying "you shouldn't have this tattoo because of xyz" or "everyone with xyz tattoo is eViL!!!1!". The issue I have is when someone dismisses the actual issues behind the symbol and its creator, that, to me, feels shortsighted.
Like seriously consider looking into why JKR is kinda awful and how the HP books are not always advocating the best morals beyond just the obvious wizard fascist stuff. (See Umbridge and the centaurs, S.P.E.W, Dumbledore dating proto-wizard fascist, the entirety of Gringotts and its goblins, Snape's treatment before going wizard fascist, Snape's treatment of children, Dumbledore's treatment of Harry, Sirius, Lupin, Hagrid, etc, the piss poor analogy of HIV and werewolves, the cultural disgrace that was the entirety of the website and all of its subsequent nonsense, the entire issue with JKR and her blatant transphobia, I could go on but no onw wants to listen to me rant, even myself.)
Like I have no doubt it's a cool looking tattoo. Snakes and skulls are badass! But framing the tattoo as a dark mark or deatheater tattoo may cause someone more trouble than it's worth due to the misunderstandings that can occur.
It isn't grasping at straws but pointing out the facts that can cause people to have negative reactions if the person isn't aware of what other possible meanings their words or actions can have.
It's like my first name and my father's last name (which isn't my legal last name since family stuff) both begin with an "S". If my mother or father wanted to tattoo my intials as such, having "SS" on their bodies could easily be misconstrued as aligning themselves with a hate group. While that wouldn't be their intention, the cultural zeitgeist and history would not be kind to their ignorance.
This is just my opinion though, so feel free to disagree and I wish you well!
I don't see a Death Eater tattoo any different than someone getting a symbol from the dark side in Star Wars or a villain in a horror film. Some people just like fictional villains. There's a lot of nazi symbolism for the dark side in Star Wars, it doesn't mean every Kylo or Vader fan are neo-nazis or some shit. Or someone having a killer from a horror on them doesn't mean they'd be a Bundy groupie in real life. It seems like a massive leap to me to conflate these things.
I wanted a death eater tattoo for so long, I only recently decided against getting it. Not because of the meaning (like, obviously death eaters are very bad people, but they are not real and the tattoo irl can symbolise something completely different) but because J. K. Rowling is a transphobic bigoted a**hole.
I don't think this tattoo is a red flag. Like I said, it can mean something different than relating to death eaters. For example you could like the aesthetic of it and are a HP fan, or you could relate to morally conflicted characters like Draco Malfoy or Severus Snape. It's up to the person on who's arm (or body) it is, to interpret it.
Get one in the trans flag colours :D
How exactly is she transphobic? Specific examples.
@@NunyaBusiness-kv3cg jammiedoger made a very good video about that topic.
But to be short: She financially supported a LGB Organization which is transexclusive and often stated that trans women weren't ,,real" women, allowing trans women in public women restroom would be a danger to cis women (even though there is nada proof to this and trans women often get harassed in men bathrooms) and there was something about that men would say they were trans women to get away with rape or something like that.

I think dark mark tattoos are more about a general fascination with evil than actually wanting to be a death eater
And just a cool / badass design. Sometimes, it's not that deep, I know somebody who never read the books, just enjoyed the esthetics
Honestly the biggest red flag to me here is all the judgement from the people in the article. A lot of these are really not a big deal whatsoever.
Damn I had no ideia the death eater was connected to racism. That's why all the tattoos that I plann on making I've designed myself.
Ive heard alot of negative things about arrow tattoos, yet I still really want the arrow along my spine. Mainly because I am Sagittarius and it symbolizes alot for me. Also my left sleeve will have Belle, Jasmine, Cinderella, Snow White and Ariel, but in a gothic/ Mystical art style.
I think there is nothing wrong with getting a tattoo in another language as long as you respect the culture of the language. And as someone who loves learning languages, I think it can connect people to the culture.
Tattoos that tell stories! We need some of that!
Personally, I don’t have any because I’m young, but there are so many I want to get after I fully transition
I introduced my bestie to your videos the other day. I was scrolling for ages to find one I haven’t watched but just settled on rewatching one haha. So glad I caught this one early. 😁 I finally got tattoos this year! I have 2 and I have 3 more booked haha.
Got my first one last year and as I was getting tattooed I started talking to my artist about all my other ideas for more. He was like, yup, that is what happens. After you get one, you want more and more.
The only red flag here is BuzzFeed. And no, getting Chinese letters tattooed on you is not "cultural appropriation" (a nonsensical concept in the first place). It's just a different language. Period. If you like it, you should keep it.
I so far have only two tattoos, though I plan on gradually getting covered. Both of my tattoos are word quotes: "Carpe Diem" and "Stay Gold."

Ponyboy?
Yes, seize the day and The Outsiders
@@WulfyFang3 loved that book!
Emily, I'm going the High Priestess card from the Russian Tarot of St. Petersburg deck as my first tattoo
I have several tattoos in languages im not even semi-fluent in (Russian, Hebrew, Egyptian hieroglyphs). I'm getting more this month (Japanese) & planning for another (French). Sometimes the language is part of the message & a translation woud lose certain amount of context. It pays to check several sources to make sure the words & grammar are correct.
what are they if you don’t mind sharing some?
@@mmmmmmmmaria I'm actually going to make a video about foreign language tattoos fairly soon - probably next month.
i'm surprised quote tattoos were considered as red flags, i have one, it's from the most important song for me and that's probably the most important from all my tattoos and it helps me keep going
you know, you do you, as long as it's not harming anyone (like racist, homophobic tattoos etc.) i think it's okay, you're the one who should feel good with ur tattoos
Two thoughts; I have a nightmare before Christmas tattoo and adore it and yes I love creepy things and Tim Burton movies but would never except someone else to like them or force it on someone. Also I understand death eater tattoos can be seen as problematic but the only person I know with one is queer and POC so to me if they are ok with it then clearly it’s not that big of a issue
Just had to soak my whole clothed arm to get my sweatshirt unstuck from my tattoo so figured I would watch this while I was working on it. (It got stuck in my sleep when the covering got dislodged) Great video!
(Also yes it came off fine with some warm water and some unscented soap. Also tiny bit of aquaphor helped get out any little fuzzys that could be stuck from the clothes)
I have a 'double sin' - a quote tattoo in a language I don't speak, with non-Latin characters. It says 'Manuscripts don't burn' in Russian. (I *am* learning it, I'm just nowhere near fluent or even any good at it. Thankfully this quote is very easy to double-check.)
As someone who is autistic, I personally can't wait to get our rainbow infinity symbol tattood somewhere. I hope the opinion on it gets better with time and its newfound meaning! /gen
Recently I've been looking into tattoo designs to see if I could possibly get one and most of the ones I like are quotes. Some ones that currently stand out to me are: "You. You are alive.", "The universe said, you are not alone.", "You are the player. Wake up.", "To cure it of sorrow would be to destroy it." With a wilting/falling apart rose, "Do I aim for the skies?", "Everything must come to an end eventually." With a broken compass, and "And the player dreamed again."
It'll be hard to make up my mind when I finally do get a tattoo
Hey lauren your stunning the worst tattoos are like you said racist homophobic or transphobic besides those kinds of disgusting tattoos most other tattoos are ok you are not like anyone you are your own unique beautiful person love you so much Lauren you are awesome and always interesting
What is a transphobic tattoo? Is saying you’re a woman transphobic?
@@NunyaBusiness-kv3cg any tattoos that targets transgender people
My feather tattoo is in memory of my grandmother who passed away and has a story behind it.
My grandmother was dying from breast cancer so my mother was spending as much time with her as she could, me and my sister were putting washing out together and a white feather drifted down between us.
I’m not religious in the slightest but my sister and I looked at each other and knew our grandmother had passed, we got a phone call soon after confirming our suspicions.
Hey I’m an Aussie. The Southern Cross is the star constellation this is on our Australian flag. A lot of people get it tattooed to show that they are patriotic but it’s also used by some very racist people, which is probably why the person who commented about it views it as a red flag.
I have one quote tattoo atm. It's a green ribbon for mental health blinding into teal ribbon (which is for cervical cancer survival) with the quote "so glad for the madness" which is from the cradle of filth song Babylon AD. For me the quote is a source of strength & (for me) means yes it's been crazy road, but it's maid me tougher & given me a scar, but I survived
I loved listening to you chat about this; thank you!
One of my issues with judging people for having "trendy" tattoos is that what's fashionable changes constantly so you can end up with something trendy that wasn't when you got it. So far, that's thankfully only happened to me with how I dress, and that's weird enough. Like people's whole interpretation of who you are as a person shifts, when you haven't changed anything about yourself at all! So strange.
Also, speaking as a Scot, since I've seen Celtic tattoos mentioned in other comments: fascists who steal elements of our culture and twist them to symbolise their disgusting ideology belong in the bin for thieving, as well as for, y'know, being fascists. Anyone who lives somewhere where that's happened, but wants something Celtic, could stick some kind of anti-racist/anti-fascist one next to it, or combine the two somehow. It'd be sad if, because of those shitheads, people felt totally unable to get anything from an entire genre that they feel a connection to.
I love how your makeup matches the background- IT'S SO PRETTY ACK
