Why would someone DO this?

Mental illness

And the man bun doesn't help. I hate tattoos.

Somebody diddled him as a little boy. so he's ashamed of his bare naked body and try to cover it up every square inch of it.

Herd mentality. They will regret this. I’m in my 40s and everyone is amazed I don’t have tatts. I don’t need to cover my body in ink to feel cool.

Mental illness

I think it looks good... for now. Though I always wonder about the blocks of black inc like this guy has on his arm and side. Is it covering another tattoo he regrets or was it an active choice to just have black inc on a portion of his body? Does that mean something in the tattoo world?

Tattoos on arms are ok, even sleeves, but when they start tattooing their chest and torso, that’s going too far, I’m sure some people find it attractive, but I don’t, it looks like they’re destroying their body, you can’t appreciate the natural beauty of the body anymore when it’s covered up, it’s like having a permanent shirt on, I like seeing bare flesh. . They’ll definitely regret it when they get older.

Millennials expressing independence and redefining what is attractive.

No snark, I genuinely want to know if anyone here (or in general, really) finds the 'limb completely inked' look to be hot.

R8 🙋‍♂️

Oops, meant R9

But what's hot about it? Or is it one of those things that can't be explained.

R13 I hate to be corny, but it's the bad boy vibe. I'm a millennial and I'd never get a tattoo, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't find tattoos sexy on other people. It's the "I don't give a fuck vibe" that also makes it sexy.

I understand the general vibe tattoos give off to some, but this block of ink look was what I was specifically referring to.

That's Schnoez ! A friend of mine loves him to death. It's the only OnlyFans I know someone subbed to. I was surprised he was German , not American. I guess trendy millennial things are global fads.

Those tats are absolutely disgusting. He’s vandalized his own body.

Is his name Joel?

R15 for a pretty slim guy, the block of ink makes his muscle more defined as well.

The manbun, the beard and the ink... I hate myself for finding him so unbelievably hot, but I do...

I like the man-bun.

My theory: Severe childhood sexual abuse.

[quote] [R15] for a pretty slim guy, the block of ink makes his muscle more defined as well.

He could have just gotten a tan for that.

R23 Ha! Very true. Didn't think of that

My 53 year old (older) brother just got his first tattoo. It’s on the inside of his forearm and is Latin script.

It took a lot of effort not to roll my eyes when he told me this.

R14, I understand that a lot of people like that vibe, but how can you be a bad boy when you're doing what everyone else - or at least a sizable number of your peers - is doing?

In general, it seems as though we are at a sort of diametric opposite point from classic handsomeness as the defining appeal in a man. I hope the pendulum swings back before I'm too old to appreciate it.

My plastic surgeon friend LOVES the new trend of tatts, he makes LOTS of money trying to remove them. Keyword "trying" but it doesn't always work very well.

David Beckham also now has tattooed everywhere. Many are starting to fade or blend together. They look awful

Mental illness, low self-esteem, pathologically attention-craving victim of child abuse.

For David Beckham whom R28 mentioned, the sound of his voice must have driven him bonkers.

Because he hates himself, OP.

[quote]but how can you be a bad boy when you're doing what everyone else - or at least a sizable number of your peers - is doing?

Never quite understood that either. You hear that defense on DL a lot: "they do it because EVERYONE in their age group has them, but they're EXPRESSING their INDIVIDUALITY while showing that they DON'T CARE about what anyone else thinks!" Uhh, okay?

Oh R13, you think this moron is a “bad boy?” Lol. No, he’s a conformist. A follower. He has very few original thoughts or ideas. It must be a chore to try and have a meaningful conversation with him.

Bad boy? Maybe 30 years ago when getting the majority of your body inked was a novelty, and you’d have to go to Jim Rose’s Circus to see something like this.

Today, this lemming is just another asshole in the vegan section of every Whole Foods everywhere.

He's fucking hot and I want to give him a really top-shelf blowjob while he's getting his next tattoo. I'll rim his ass too if he's clean, no problem. I wonder if he has any cute little tats near his butthole?

R33 his name is schnoez and you can subscribe to his onlyfans to feed into your fantasies.

Mental illness and drugs.

R26 and R32 I get it, many in my age group are now covered in tattoos. But as a child I remember a neighbor who had both arms covered and how shocking that was for someone with a family and career. So I guess, even though tats are more common, the whole bad boy thing is a holdover from my childhood. The trend hasn't been around long enough for me not to see it as non conformist

why? mental illness.

at least some of it is artistic.

I wonder if a completely inked arm like that makes it sunburn proof?

There's a thread about him on LPSG with a bunch of pics if you're curious to see his fat uc piece.

I LOVE Blackamoors!

What is LPSG, R39?

Actually, he LITERALLY still has a few square inches of skin left that aren’t tattooed. Of course, that can still be remedied.

Well, they do say black is slimming.

Hell yeah Id do him . I can deal with the tats , but the shaved bush is a turn off .

Body dysmorphia. Can't stand bare skin. Same for this neverending fad of beards: without them they feel exposed.

He looks hot to me but I'm a freak and I especially love a full body tat. Neck tats are fine and kinda sexy but I'm not a big fan of anything on the face. Penis tats can be cute but leave the cock head alone. Genital piercings are unappealing to me but to each their own. Hands and feet tats are thugly hawt.

I'm in the minority, I know that, but I need to speak out for my illustrated men.

R41 Large Penis Support Group. It's another mostly gay forum that is all about cock and sexy men.

Hideously sick

Horribly defaced. Tragic. Why the hell would you blacken your entire arm. Mental case.

Ugh, from poking around his reddit the shaft looks pretty thick. Why would he do this?

He looks like a pen exploded. Everywhere.

I need a closer look at the tattoos. Some can be very interesting (from an art PoV at least, like below). Some are a train-wreck and hilariously amateurish.

Personally, I wouldn't permanently tattoo my body. Having to stare at the same picture for the rest of your life sounds a bit nightmare-ish.

Plus, many male artistic tattoos are very morbid: skulls, weeping statues, tombs, dark angels, clocks (symbolising that life will end). Why young fit guys (who have their whole lives ahead of them) would want such dark, pessimistic, fatalist images emblazoned on them is bizarre.

WOOF - I find him sexy AF + he obviously can take some pain.

I always laugh when people talk about the sagging skin .. as though the old sagging skin is somehow more attractive without the ink.

Post his dick pics please.

Very sexy ...........now. Obviously down the track maybe not.

Personally I got two large original art (X de Medici) tatts on my back 25 years ago. They are beautiful. I didn’t want to spoil them with more in case they were crap. Few people can see them but that’s just fine.

You people are deranged. This man and his ink are beautiful.

The actual source of your anger is knowing that you couldn't get him in a million years.

Yes the looking like you dipped your arm in tar look is just beautiful

Perhaps he should have used all that money he spent on tattoos on a psychiatrist instead.

I'd bet $100 right now all the tattoo-hostile posters are all middle aged, probably over 45 or so. All the tattoo-loving posters are 40 and under. Major generation divide on this topic.

He’s gorgeous, but I hope he doesn’t end up going the Zombie Boy route tattoo-wise...

Hates himself. Trying to disappear. Don't see ME.

[quote]He’s gorgeous, but I hope he doesn’t end up going the Zombie Boy route tattoo-wise...

Yeah that whole story ended well, didn't it?

The man bun is suddenly everywhere. 8 or so years ago it was an occasional sighting in urban hipsterdom. Now a large fraction of men under 40 are wearing it. It's unattractive.

Man buns are fucking hideous. But I haven't liked most male dress/hair trends of the last 15 years or so. It's like they're trying to be ugly.

I just saw some pics and vids from threads about him over on LPSG. It’s huge and thick. If post some here but you have to be an LPSG member to see them. Here’s one of his butt that was imgur-linked and yes, it’s tatted too...

If I hooked up with this guy, even with the lights out and the shades drawn, I don't know if I could get that horrible tatted up imagery out of my head.

[quote] The man bun is suddenly everywhere. 8 or so years ago it was an occasional sighting in urban hipsterdom. Now a large fraction of men under 40 are wearing it. It's unattractive.

I thought that particular form of hipster douchebaggery had died out a few years ago?

This is a form of blackface. I find it offensive.

What does he look like with the hair down?

Like this?

Can't wait to see what all this unregulated ink does down the road to people's bodies. There are already bacterial outbreaks in some of the ink supplies. It's undoubtedly made in China and the risk for Hep C is great I would think. If you have tats, you really need to be checked for Hepatitis.

He has a nice uncut piece, but that corny ass tableau across his abdomen ruins it. And R14, that lame man bun atop his head doesn’t quite scream “bad boy.” My verdict: throw the whole man away.

I have a couple friends that are covered in trash stick-and-pokes that have the swagger to pull it off, but these are tragically bad. I swore I’d never get one after living in LA and Austin where tattoos are ubiquitous.

It also makes me cringe so hard when I witness people attempting to make conversation with friends of mine by asking them about their tattoos. Kill me now.

R33, perhaps a biohazard symbol near his anus.

Nothing says giving up on a nine to five conventional career part in life than been covered in tattoos from neck down. I am surprised he didn't tattoo his face which might be next.

R67, the bun is back with a distasteful vengeance. The service advisor at Toyota today had one. That's why I was thinking about them. I see them everywhere lately.

Tattoos = some degree of mental illness

Inka Dinka Do Me.

oh my, is that a donkey?

What a stupid cunt.

Man buns can be fixed by a haircut, but those tattoos are for life and they will only get uglier with age.
