scubaron Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Not sure why some get so annoyed by this question. Options for responses: Tell them the truth. "Thought it was cool and I wanted it." Keep them guessing. "It's personal and I only tell certain people." Make up a fun story. "It's a reminder of the time I got separated from my group while on safari in lion country....." "I had a pet lion when growing up, but had to give him to the zoo when he got big."

themonkeypaw Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I just say I get them because skin being plain bores me.

tc3500 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 My first couple tattoos don't really show but have been asked by a few who have seen them. Neither of them have a deep meaning but each of them have 'hidden' elements that are only known to 2-3 people and are incredibly meaningful to me. But, basically....my tattoos are images of things that I have liked very much since childhood. I love the art and have been lucky to work with an amazing artist on these first 2. .....so, to answer the OP's question I would reply 'because the art is amazing, I like tattoos, and mostly just because I fucking want them' LOL Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6757-how-to-deal-with-annoying-meaning-of-tattoo-question/?page=2#findComment-122925 Share on other sites More sharing options...
joakim urma Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 @jimstanley Haha that's a great come back, I'm going to start using that too. "Wait wait wait... so you've got almost all of your legs tattooed?!" "Yes" "Wow, that's crazy! So show me!" "Here, in the middle of this bar..? Sure, if you show me your legs.

TrixieFaux Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 "It means I got tattooed that day." Straightforward, I like it.

Kill Uncle Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I usually don't mind being asked if its one on one and the person is really interested in tattoos. I had too many people ask me,who really don't like tattoos. I hate being around a lot of people when someone asks about my tattoos,because everyone stops what they are doing to listen to my answer.I don't like attention.
