    Do tattoos need to mean anything. I love flowers and birds and butterflys, oh my. Can I just cover my body in those because I think they are pretty?

    Yeah. Duh.

    I don’t believe in “meaningful” tattoos. Memorials, celebrations of events in your life, tattoos with stories behind ’em, whatever. The stories are always a cliché, an after the fact justification to provide meaning where none exists, or just not well thought through.

    Tattoos exist because they do, one of the purest forms of art for art’s sake. You get tattoos because you like the design, because it’s aesthetic speaks to you. Not because of some made up story, not because it’s fashionable, and definetly not because it’s kanji.

    If you look around at the albums, you’ll see 99% are just random crap, and that’s how it’s supposed to be.

    Love. Peace. Metallica.

    Tattoos are an amazing artform. They dont need special meanings behind them to be awesome.

    i used to think that tattoos had to have a meaning to it, but now, i think that that’s getting played out. like said already, you can get a tattoo of whatever you want as long as you like it.

    My tattoo doesn’t mean anything, but you already know that.

    I can out her on anything you guys want. Oh and I think she phrased her question in a ditsy way on purpose. It was a genuine question, but she may have been trying to draw out some ire along with truthful responses. Keep an eye on her because she’s more than I can handle.
