that's only if you are the artist what... if you are buying a piece of art for your home.. isn't the value what you think of it more importantly than what critics think of it?So a drawing by your child may be more meaningful to you than picasso and have pride of place in your home.
Same with tattoo.. if it is a piece of art that you find meaning in, then it doesn't matter what critics think.. cos you not selling it.

the local's mindset is like that.. close-minded
if you think it's meaningful to you, then fine , why care so much

ahhh thanks for all your constructive comments.
i know when i put it, people associate me with negative influences. i have a few tattoos in the covered zones of my body and they mean a lot to me. some are works of art, some with meaning.
i feel that putting words may mean a lot to me. sometimes these words help me understand what i have been going through.
however, people who may have tattoos put it for different reasons, not just putting cuz we are pai kia or we want to hao lian so people think we are not someone to mess with.
if i put one; lets say at a sleeve area, probably the only fears are that people might think im dangerous and relatives think i m deviant already!!
here is one, not sure can upload here anot but surely needs touch up soon.
lol.. that is ugly man.. and a bit gay. I got a friend who committed suicide after too much P overseas n jumped off a hotel , had the word 'Respect' tattooed on his left arm. That was one of the reasons we could ID him.
R.I.P..
anyways u do liaw sooner or later people will see. Its inevitable. unless u can gurantee yourself to be constantly clothed for the next few decades. No swimming , spa.. pool.. whatever. Anyways those older generation may have negative perception , but hey.. they wont be alive for too long now right ?
Just dun tattoo your girls name on it. u WILL regret.

But if you really want to get 1, start from a small tattoo first.
thats the bloody problem with people these days... everyone wants to be fashionable... cant people think for themselves and not follow the masses blindly?

why do you assume everyone who gets tattoo gets it for the sake of fashion??

Art is for people to admire and criticise, you may not bother about critics and comments, but you must accept, think and improve on it.Sori, i am still single and virgin, no child yet. Therefore i drew art picture of my own liking, and art need to be expose inorder to be call art, so i show it to my frens, some give good comments, some said it is like shit, i take it with open arms and improve on it. And who said art cannot be sold??

Locally, i believe most go for the sake of fashion. For us gals, if u look around, we gals bare back to show our shoulder tattoo, lower jeans or skirt to show our rear butterfly or eagle etc etc. Half tank top to show our belly button tattoo. It not only protray a fashionable style, it also tell others that we are game for it.But as a gal and for the gal out there, you need a good shoulder, slim stomach and a good rear to looks real good and cool. If not, with crooked shoulder, big tummy, and fat or no bum rear, you become a laughing stock. I have seen that on the streets, real awful.

life is a journey, why miss out on some parts when you can enjoy the whole thing?so we are not to talk about fashion and art at all until we are making money? i hope you arent practising what you preach because thats a very sad life i see.
prudence and limits are there for a reason.
anyway its using money from working.

Let me clarify.i think to depend on public taste to judge whether something is good art or bad art or not is very dangerous when you are going to be the canvas. A lot of artists were not appreciated until they are dead :) And i did not say that art cannot be sold - but rather, not ALL art pieces is for sale or for the public.
There is also art that you do for self expression. It's like writing a diary, its something you want to say or you feel but you can't express in words. And it really doesn't matter whether it is beautiful or good or not - because we don't say/think/feel beautiful or good stuff all the time anyway. And if we change it because of someone else's opinion, then it means you don't feel all that strongly about it to begin with.
In the case of a tattoo, unless you are doing it to impress people and look chio, otherwise for many people, getting a tattoo is a way of using body art as a way to chronicle events in life, or a reminder of your own convictions or beliefs. If it is for the latter - why bother what people think?

imo i think they r kinda ugly. prefer pple wif flawless skin even though i dun mind birthmark or scar.

so your sayin.... if one hasnt started earnin money, or completed studies, or serve the army, he/she has no rights to talk bout art? What does having a passion in art has to do with NS or studies? My fcuk man!What are you talkin bout? Do you even know what you're talkin bout, btw?

what he say is:
art has a direct relation with income.
economics will soon have a new concept thanks to him called the income elasticity of art
so means 0 income=0 art?
but what u say is also true

hi i agree with you. those in blue. especially the first line

dont care about wat ppl tink of u
just do wat u wan~

yeah...a lot of wise words given. and a little rubbish too.
but i just wanna know the views of the public, which is each and every one of your views!
it doesnt matter if people may criticize my tattoos because they mean something to me but more of what would you guys think if there was a person with a tattoo at a visible area on the body.
mild areas e.g sleeve, wrist, ankle

Take maia lee 4 example. If u like it, then go 4 it.

hmm i think to a certain extent yea. but still keep in mind the coexistence of beings on earth that any decision may impact one or someone directly or indirectly.lets say i put something small, doesnt really make an impact but i m happy.
if i put something horrendous and at a visible area, lets say a racist sign, wouldnt it impact people around me and my opportunities for jobs or a relationship??
so prudence and caution.
whats your take on seeing people with tattoos at visible areas?
