To ask what a classy tattoo is?

Ok, please don’t shoot me down this is an honest question from an obviously out of touch person. ( name changed obviously)
But what the hell do people mean when they say that a tattoo is classy or amazing art work??
I see them everywhere but have never seen anything that I would say was attaractive on flesh.
They are various degrees of quality of art work yes but classy nope.
On another thread people were saying they had high quality tattoos but what does that even look like? Surely to anyone judging a tattoo is a tattoo I e a permanent mark on your body?
I would assume people like David beckham and Robbie Williams must have the higher quality tattoos? Basic As they have the money ? But to many people they would be judged poorly in a few real life settings. I would not personally say I like the look.
Sorry but pondering the consequences of not being aware of a difference and wondering if judgments are being made on artwork quality Within the tattooed population and the non tattooed are just judging any tattoo?
Explane probably photos required here.
Sorry about typos struggling with iPad tonight

I always ask 'What would the Queen do?'

BlackCatSleeping · 16/07/2019 21:09

Everyone knows that the Queen has a small, tasteful anchor tattooed on her arse.

Grin Well I'm off to the tattoo parlour tomorrow.
Look I love David Beckham and Ben Stokes. They're covered in tattoos but they'd be better off without them.

"I always ask 'What would the Queen do?'"
Sums these forums up perfectly.

i think @soapona needs to check her facts before telling us with tattoos basically how shit of a group of people we are where we can't 'give blood' however we can. You don't have to give blood if you don't want and as i have said before there are plenty of non-tattooed people who don't give blood so your argument is invalid. You're no better than we are.

I think none of us could give a shit if someone wasn't to employ us or date us, clearly they're not the right kind of people to be around.

I think to be classy you have to just have 1 beautifully drawn unusual tattoo. The trouble is that people who have tattoos rarely stop at one and so often end up with a hotchpotch of clashing tattoos.

There's no such thing as a classy tattoo.

It's like asking what a classy football shirt is.

I like this one though anyway.

I think everyone has missed the big point. People are using a class based view. When all everyone is is flesh and blood and we are all the same.

Use good or bad. Or you like lot don't like. But classy. Stop being such a bunch of fucking snobs.
