Tattoos: New Trends – Good or Bad?

The next generation seems to want to take tattooing to the max; to go beyond what any generation has done before. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? It will depend on your personal perspective and personal preferences. I don’t think that the ear tattoos are bad, but when you are talking about the dermal implants a guy did just to make his pinup girl tattoo “busty”, well then, I don’t know as I think that is going a bit extreme. Human bodies are geared to reject foreign objects so I just don’t think that the dermal implantation is a good health choice. Eventually your body is going to want to reject this stuff and that can cause stress on your immune system.

The guy with the “busty” pinup girl tattoo did have lots of problems and according to what I have read, he tried it a couple of times, each with problems from rejection. Let’s also face it, a tattoo artist is not a medical person and you are having objects/solutions put into your body by someone that isn’t a doctor. Not the best choice one could make. If you want something like this under your skin, I think I would first talk to a plastic surgeon about the choices you have and make an informed decision.

Here is Miss Busty herself. Do you think the results were worth the cost and pain of rejection, plus a couple of tries at keeping the effect??

So what do you think....Good....Bad....or WTFWYT????

The ear tattoos are kind of cool actually. You can go with various types from Gothic to floral and anything in between. I don’t have a clue how painful this is but at least it is a small area.

I think it\'s kinda cool....What do you think??

Eye tattooing is one of the most disturbing of the new trends. Whether you only do your eye lids or actually go for the eye itself, you are in a very dangerous territory and why would you let a tattoo artist stick needles in or near your eye? Personally, my eyesight is very important to me. I have problems and have to have stronger glass lens about every year and the thought of chancing my sight for something as trivial as a tattoo, scares the daylights out of me. We won’t know for sure the long lasting results/harms that this type of tattoo has until more people line up to be guinea pigs. I wouldn’t volunteer to maybe, in the long run, damage my eyesight. You check these out and let me know if you would do this or not.

Why?? What prupose??

Why?? What purpose??

Just Freaky! and I saw someone with this!!

The last one I want to show is tongue tattoos. Now, I don’t know about you but I hate to bite my tongue, so I can’t imagine someone sticking needles repeatedly into my tongue. My question is, what happens to your taste buds? Are they effected in any way? I just can’t get into this one either. Eyes and tongues should be off limits. If you want the inside of your lips, go for it, but I’d leave the tongue alone.

So bad and hard to explain to your kids later

My closing thoughts are just this, please be sure what you are getting into before trying something bizarre because these are not areas where you want buyer’s remorse since you can’t take these back. No laser removal for this. When in doubt, don’t do it!

  1. These are people who have gone overboard, in the first place no sane person will do anything when Eyes are concerned and then the tongue part, what keep the tongue out like a dog’s for the world to see some tattoo, are they insane? It seems so, personally I am concerned only about thier welfare, they should not abuse thier organs.
    Thanks: Prakash.

    I understand nonconforming to society’s notions of beauty and what is acceptable, but sometimes people go to extremes that can be self-inducing major medical problems later on in life. We all need to ask ourselves if what we want to do “just for the hell of it” will be worth the long term consequences.

  3. That “busty” tattoo is too much, very gross! Wonder why some like lumps in their skin. Hmm, and why love someone’s mom? At first I thought he loves his mom instead.. And those eyes are disturbing! The skin around the eyes are very sensitive, wonder how they gonna live with that.

    The guy with the “I love your mom” means it in a sexual way, that’s why it’s on his tongue. Cute huh?? Some people just don’t think before going ahead and doing things that they may regret later.

  6. Not a big fan. Your body is a temple, treat it as such. Someday most everyone in those pictures will regret the decisions that they made.

    Just when I think they can’t shock me, they shock me. The eyes are too much for me and the tongue is not pleasing to view either. I almost like the flowers on the ear but wonder how soon the colors will fade? They always look pretty when first done then seem to get muddy. People are strange – I’ll stay tattoo-less, thank you. Cheers, Linda

    I read up on the ear tattoos and found out they aren’t a very good idea since the skin on your ear continues to grow and grows faster than other areas. You have to be committed to redoing the tattoo more often than others or they will look bad. I have no problem eventually having to have my tats re-inked, but I don’t want to do anything too soon. I think I’ll pass on the ears, eyes/eyelids and tongue, thanks anyway.

    i was reading these comments and someone said something about your body being a temple.(the bible said your body is a temple, keep it holy so the spirit has a place to dwell)
    The way i see it….
    My temple is still HOLY it’s just DECORATED.
    I have 3 tattoos and 10 piercings and my body is in good heath, one piece, and in my eyes not tainted in any way.
    So the argument of your body being a temple is sorta invalid.

    *ear tattoos:their not bad, yet i don’t think their cool.i vote no.
    *eye tattoo:WHY???..one its dangerous and two creepy…tattooing the eye?..like seriously yuck..its a no.
    *tongue tattoo…um you will look like a retard when you show people your tattoo..sicking out your tongue…lame
    *as for the guy with the um tattoo implants*:as retarded as you can get…one it shows everyone your a pig who dates girl for their boobs and are a sexaholic..secondly why do you want a lump on your leg??..it looks like a tumor..most people want to get rid of any lumps on their body…granted its very original and all but overall i would never date a guy with this on his leg…and if i saw this id proply think it looked retarded
