Tattooed people can no longer hear these phrases

We all know them, the annoying statements or questions of our non-tattooed fellow men, after we have once again got a new tattoo. We show you how you can counter the most common and annoying questions at the next family reunion or at the supermarket checkout with the right and partly ironic answers.

#1 "Does your tattoo mean anything?"

That I'm tattooed maybe? Tattooing is an art and does any art out there have meaning? I don't think so. And even if my tattoo has meaning to me, that doesn't mean I want to share it with the world. Otherwise, I'd go straight for "I had a serious illness that made me stronger" instead of a lion.

#2 "Did that hurt?"

No, it was totally comfortable when the needle poked my skin a thousand times a minute.

#3 "Are you an addict now?"

Besides my alcohol and drug addiction (warning: another prejudice against tattooed people), I have my tattoo addiction just about under control. I think there are dozens of people out there who have left it at one tattoo special to them and escaped the tattoo addiction.

#4 "So what are you going to do when you're old?"

Then I'll look just as old and wrinkly as you, except with the added bonus of wearing color on my skin, which makes me look cooler and is guaranteed to score points with my grandkids. Let's face it, wrinkled skin - with or without paint - doesn't look appealing. That's not where the colorful paint jobs make it worse.

#5 "Was it expensive?"

Yeah. Didn't your grandma ever teach you not to talk about money?!

#6 "Won't it cause problems at work?"

Any sensible person will have thought about how a tattoo is compatible with their job beforehand. Who'd be stupid enough to get their face tattooed á la Post Malone if they were a banker?!

#7 "And that's going to stay forever?"

Nah, it'll come off after 2-3 washes.

#8 "And what do your parents say?"

Counter question: who cares? As you can easily see, I'm over 18 and therefore the sole decision maker about my body. As long as I don't have to beg mommy and daddy for money, my body will continue to be adorned with tattoos and my parents are totally cool with it.

#9 "Can I touch?"

Do I look like a dog that wants to be petted!

#10 "It wouldn't work for me, but it works for you."

Thanks. *eyes roll*

Mareike zog 2018 aus ihrem 3000-Seelen-Heimatsdorf in Niedersachsen nach Düsseldorf und begann ihr Studium Kommunikations- und Multimediamanagement. Zuvor lebte sie fast zwei Jahre in Kalifornien und bereiste während dieser Zeit 13 Staaten der USA sowie Mexiko und Kanada. Ihr erstes Tattoo entstand spontan auf dem Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles als Erinnerung an die unvergessliche Zeit in Amerika. Das Zweite folgte während eines 2-monatigen Backpacking Trips durch Asien. Die Leidenschaft fürs Schreiben entdeckte sie durch ihren eigenen Reiseblog, den sie während ihres Auslandsaufenthaltes führte.
