It may not matter, but I ask, are tattoos any more stupid than anything else people do?

I remember the topic of tattoos coming up on 1bc before and said something similar. I tend to think like Scip on this one. The ones that come to mind are the tribal tattoos so many guys have going around their biceps and butterfly tattoos on a girl's lower back. 'Cuz its COOL to do exactly what millions of other people do to be original. Belly button piercings on girls. Gee... THATS original! (at least not permanent) But, I think thats a sign of me slowly turning into an old man. When my kids watch the Disney channel, it irritates me a little to see all the long 70s-style hair on boys. Not long as in long in back, but just poofy, scruffy hair. I realize I sound like an old man. lol. Ah, well. But at the same time, there have been a couple of times that I have been seriously tempted to get one a bit more personal to me where no one but me and my wife might see. I almost got a "Wolfhound" tattoo with several other guys after basic training, but was smart enough to realize that basic training was quick and I'd probably never see these guys again, or be a "Wolfhound" again. Several guys wanted to go get one together, but I passed and am glad. I was reading on Taoism several years ago and liked a lot of the concepts of it and liked the deeper meanings and thoughts behind the Yin/Yang and was tempted to get one at one point, but am glad again that I passed on that. I have been tempted at times to get a religious/spiritual type symbol tattoo (out of noticeable sight), but tend to find truth in all and haven't found one that feels quite 100% 'right' so I wisely passed. So, I guess I think getting the exact same design in the exact same place as millions of others is really, really dumb, but I guess I kinda like the personal tattoos that have some deeper personal meaning like ddmagnan said. But as Scip said, we're just sharing opinions, so it really doesn't matter.

but as they say: a tattoo is forever! uhhhh.... no it's not! and NC, surely you realize that not everyone gets a tattoo because they think it's cool or because they are trying to be original.

Of course not. I'd quote myself from above, but I don't do that in the Library. I am only poking fun at people who copy millions of others who have the exact same tattoo in the same place as millions of other people. But then again, maybe I'm a touch cynical on people blindly following the masses because something is supposed to be cool. Where's that pipe? -M-, thanks... I think?
