I don't have a problem with tattoos - they can be very cool. I have a BIG problem with flash tattoos. What the fuck is that? Like if you approach tattoos with intention and get a big back piece of a dragon or something, and it's all planned out and cohesive, that's great. Flash tattoos are the antithesis of that. People turn up to events and pick out a premade stencil from a selection of five, it's two inches square, takes thirty minutes and costs forty dollars. Repeat a hundred times to cover yourself in random doodles that mean nothing to you, don't fit together, aren't sterling examples of the artist's best work (she was in a rush) and space into this dense grid of literally doodles. What the fuck would you do that for? I saw a chick with giant centipedes wrapped around her arms and back in Manhattan. That's fucking sweet. She looks like some kind of cool Satanist. Asian dude, roided to shit with a tiger growling on his bicep. Fuck yes, he looks like a big dick triad. For each of these examples, I've seen many more where an apparently rational person chose to permanently festoon themselves with low quality intentless kitch for no reason.
