It's time for a list of your favorite tattoo fallacies. Should I start out?

You've never going to get a REAL job with those tattoos on you. FALSE.

There are lawyers, doctors, astronauts, bankers, preachers, teachers, racecar drivers, scientists, all with tattoos........the list is endless. Getting a tattoo DOES NOT prevent you from doing what you want to in life...... NEXT?

Update:

Sobrique.... I turned 50 this year.... I don't regret MINE yet.

Update 2:

Anthony G.......Tattoos ARE addictive so that MAY not be a fallacy.

Update 3:

Olivia... And most of the people who say this do so with a cigarette hanging out of their mouths.....

Update 4:

JKC...... Hey girl....It's nice to see the regulars still check in! And isn't it a SHAME that a tattooed woman HAS to go through the pain of child birth....all because they were unwise and got a back tattoo....(This fallacy is more wide spread than you think.)

Update 5:

Hey Babygirl....... Don't you just hate people who want to use religion to justify everything.

Update 6:

Teri K......The people who get blood poisoning are the one who get their ink done by scratchers. The odds of that happening in a licensed tattoo shop are nil.....zip....nada

Update 7:

HEY KRIS.....So good to see you still plugging away in the tattoo section. HOWEVER........You do know that you are wrong don't you? There are several ways to remove a tattoo...... An industrial grinder, gasoline and a match, cover it with honey and stick your arm in a fireant bed.......The methods are ENDLESS.

PS The above statement was made in jest. The management doesn't not recommend or condone the use of extreme tattoo removal techniques. (Even though they may work)

Update 8:

Excellent point Somebody......See ya later ....I have to go smoke crack in my trailer

Update 9:

ZOMBIE.....Thanks for stopping by. Hows that tan coming.......lol. What you have on your skin doesn't make you a slut! The way a person acts is more of a factor....

Update 10:

Right you are Jennifer! I hate that term too.

    "You'll get cancer!"

    I absolutely love it when people say that.

    I always ask them to show me the studies that prove it.

    No one ever has...

    Oh and this one

    EDIT: Yeah, that or they're on here mainly to ask endless questions about tanning.

    Urban Legend...Folklore...Fallacy The Blue Star LSD Tattoo story is back. Guilt By Association Once our society allows the Tattoo Industry to take over it's youth...it's just a slippery slope to drug addiction and leather jackets. An inevitable slide down, toward everything related to evil and it's further extremes. This has been left on my front porch more than once. I would definitely consider this a fallacy, if not outright harassment. Carry on men...Ink at the ready...

    Women should only get girly tattoos - 'sticker tats' butterflies n hearts n flowers n cupids - I wanna vomit!

    Good grief, if your going to get a tattoo and boast about it then do it properly and get something bigger than a postage stamp you daft cow.

    (proud female owner of 12inch wide 'Tramp Stamp' [ewww nasty term] and three upper arm tats over 5inchs high each)

    If I don't like it, I will just use wrecking balm and get it taken off. (People it will not remove your tattoo completely). The only true way to remove a tattoo is with laser surgery. This is both more painful than getting the tattoo and you will have a scar where it was.

    The whole tramp stamp thing bugs the hell outta me. I have a tattoo on my lower back, and I am in NO WAY a tramp. Shallow minded people think the placement of your tattoos define who you are, and not the way you live your life.

    people with tattoos are trashy and dumb.

    obviously that isn't the case MOST of the time but of course the "worst" is always judged as the "norm" by stereotypers.

    Hmm...I think my favorite would have to be women who get tattoos (and/or have piercings) are tramps, slutty, etc.

    "Tramp stamps" aren't on all the tramps ;-)
