no i know but i don't think they'll name the issue which is imperialism and capitalism as well as america lol. instead it;s about building up a company you know. it just sucks when it becomes depoliticized bc it would be cool to see how much that impacts interpersonal relationships. just me thinking a lot lmao.
no it means they are POPULAR as in enjoyed by large amounts of people; it does not mean complete ubiquity and adoption. the longevity shows the admiration people have for it and YES its popularity. how are you defining that term in conjunction with how i use it? i don't care who is influenced by what, that's part of the problem.
also what do you mean lmao i mean first of all japanese tattooing has a history with yakuza AND it is practiced beyond their borders. i was replying to your assertion of "fashion" and extrapolating what people typically infer. because you responded to "a form of self expression" (which it IS) with "it's fashion". completely asinine conversation because whether it is or not (it is) doesn't mean that it's fashion. who cares. ur getting stuck on minutiae bc u decided it was false when it isn't. i can say it may not be what you meant but we who have tattoos and love them fucking hate hearing that shit.
the west dominates so no it isn't regressive. i am responding to your annoying assertion of how it's trendy and taking agency away from the people who do it and love it. i didn't say it was incredibly popular in japan specifically but pointing to its ubiquity so much so that it can't be squashed in societies that have TRADITIONALLY had it and supremacy, imperialism, and fascism stamp it out.
so, again, you are not the standard. the world has a history of it; it isn't just fleeting. and it's annoying when people bring that up especially since this woman is coming from a society that wants to squash it out /because of morality/.
modern western society = / = victorian society btw. vomit. also this is a site about ASIA despite us both speaking english. be so fr
The industry and public rebellion always seem to move the same way. That’s why hearing words like “clean”…
i like the way you framed this and i agree honestly! i don't think performativity is necessarily a bad thing since we all do it but you hit the nail on the head imo
they can to the extent that it matters? so what? she didnt do her whole body. it's going to be ok.
no OP is right. she's gonna have some scarring or fading. but the idea that people shouldn't get one because they believe they'll remove it is a little ...eh. i do wish ppl thought about it more but that's because i love tattooing and the history of it.
yea and western world isn't the center of the universe so who cares. that attitude is regressive and untrue. japan trying to control who gets it and how (which they do bc parlors are "illegal" but there's a tattooing culture) has historical context. i don't know—or particularly care—about what the west did but almost every culture has traditional tattooing. it's frowned upon in my father's culture but we also had traditional tattooing which i wasn't aware of. you have to ask yourself WHY a society views it that way. like where do your thoughts even come from?
and ok whatever it's fashion. and it stays. you also clearly don't know anything about tattoos which doesn't matter but yall just be sayin shit
LeisRealTalk is propaganda channel that is paid by and located in the US. That channel spreads a lot of anti-china…
anyway, since no one likes politicizing anything on here, my only point is that there's some dodginess with that channel. i just want to know the truth but it's looking like a lot of people who are asking people to hold off and calm down may be right and i'm sad i wasn't more diligent.

no, charlie kirk was a horrible fascist who started a conservative think tank when he was 18 that greatly effected the lives of young people and ushered young, primarily white, people into conservative christofascist thinking. the gunman was a 4channer (also a fascist cesspool) who killed him because of what he was saying about trans people as he had a trans gf and was in a...different subculture. before kirk was killed he was being anti black and transphobic.
he greatly influenced american politics. the aftermath was a crackdown on any speech against him and violently control black people (as this country does). people came to historically black colleges to antagonize them, there was a crackdown, and a black man was lynched right after but they're covering it up. you need to read and watch things that aren't just the mainstream. his death—that was his fault—has been used to enact even broader violence.
that's what happened. no entity wanted him silenced, the people did. and now he is :)
people say this all the time about tattoos—they are incredibly popular and will continue to be for the thousands of years before them and after (if humanity survives that long). it shows a changing society and allowal of expression since so many people have them. that's a good thing. and the freedom of removal is good too though it makes me sad!
i mean i'm not projecting. on a base level, regardless of love or not, i don't think that mindset is good. i;m not angry at your comment. and also most people don't even know their parents suck, her mom supported her at first which is good i guess; maybe she's using her mom as an excuse. but her statement was shared and a lot of people are making borderline ignorant comments . the way the society views tattoos /is/ a problem and the way that we accept a parent's dominion over our body and call that love is too. i can be in this conversation because we're both here.
