ARGENTINA - WORLD LEADER IN THE STUPIDEST TATTOOS AWARDS? 🇦🇷 A lot of people from a lot of countries have stupid tattoos today, stupid tattoos are ‘fairly normal’ thing now - but have noticed being in Argentina that of all the countries I’ve been to Argentina *seems* to have the highest density of stupid tattoos. Can’t empirically quantify this obviously, (so this is purely anecdotal feel free to disagree,) but it’s the impression I get. Have seen some real screamers, some really bad ones on the women especially. Worst one I saw was a moderately attractive woman with the gremlins from ‘Gremlins’ (1984) on her arm as an entire arm sleeve. Not Gizmo either, the scaly lizard gremlins. She was only about 25 too, she wasn’t some old auntie who watched the movie growing up. Why would you get this on your body? Have also seen, variously, a woman with a tattoo of a naked woman pressing down on a man’s head as he ‘eats out’ her ‘pussy’, a woman with a tattoo of Captain Jack Sparrow urinating against a wall that said ACAB on it, a woman with a tattoo of Jon Snow from ‘Game of Thrones’ (2011) waving a Palestine flag and a woman with a tattoo of her dead dog but the image isn’t of the dog alive it’s of the dog dead and rotting. Many other stupid smaller ones too I’ve been to about 140 countries at this point and even if it turns out Argentina is not strictly the world’s number one leader in stupid tattoos I still want to say (my very strong feeling from direct experience is) it is at least ‘up there’. With America, with Canada, with Australia, with the Yookay, with Spain, with Brazil etc. They can all be pretty bad but I can’t think of any worse countries for this kind of ‘stupidtattooism’ out of all those places than Argentina, at least in my personal experience. What is going on? Well - people have a lot of tattoos in Argentina to begin with, they’re everywhere, so you assume of those who get tattoos a certain portion of them are going to exhibit bad judgement. To what degree though? This is obviously not ‘Liberalism for 130IQ+ Anglos’ world, the scope has been broaden a bit to 105IQ quite attractive 4th generation Italian immigrant women with bangs and it turns out maybe a few more of them have not ‘as good taste’ as the ‘130IQ+ Anglo’ than you might assume. Sometimes it’s like… if a version of the ‘Dinergoth’ subculture except it’s ‘the equivalent of that but from 15 years ago instead’ took over an entire country, the taste you see exhibited occasionally Want to say, to qualify, I don’t have a particular issue with tattooos - I don’t mind them though I don’t have any myself. Not all Argentinians have bad tattoos obviously, most of them look fine or even occasionally good, but have felt like raising my eyebrows at some that I’ve seen ‘reasonably’ often. I like Argentina a lot - please note - but a lot of it reminds me of Spain, in the sense there’s a culture of guardrail-free hyperliberalism in places that, my impression is, apart from producing a lot of ‘shitlibs’ who love electing some version of Peronism whenever possible also makes them like to do things like ‘get stupid tattoos’. Could say, “oh maybe the people you met were just lower-class people who are more likely to get stupid tattoos anyway” - and maybe that’s true. But still it’s weird when you see quite attractive women with stupid tattoos, I do ‘reckon’ there must be ‘something going on’ in the culture maybe more than elsewhere To the broader point, I think it’s important to ‘be aware’ of the hyperliberalism streak in Argentinian culture if you want to go about understanding Argentina proper. Can be an asset insofar as it makes Argentina more European and ‘sophisticated’ than other Latin American countries in properly discerning hands, but also a curse insofar as (like in many other places in the west) it can lead people into stupid fads; cultural, political or otherwise
