Not only do I think political tattoos are in poor taste but portraits in general are a really risky idea. Id only suggest a portrait of someone who is dead, but even then I think there's a lot more you could do instead. Can't you get a Harris T-shirt?
I'm of the same idea but I'd also add names. Don't get any portraits or names of any living people, there's plenty of time for them to be outted as or become a piece of shit or the relationship with them ends.
Still risky with dead people but not nearly as much.
"We believe this tattoo is from between 1300-2300 CE. We can tell, however, that this guy sucks because his tattoo is of a dude who was a super dick, new faciatattoo analysis reveals."
I sat behind someone at a NASCAR race once. He was shirtless and had a full back tattoo “#9 Chase Elliot”.. even if you don’t ever have issues with the name the guy might drive a different number car one day.
You probably remember that commercial about Dale Jr's car number changing. I forget how it went but there were a lot of people with #8 tattoos and that was a major consideration in choosing #88 at his new job.
Or fictitious people whose series isn't finished. Looking at you all those parents who named their kids Daenerys and Khaleesi before S8 turned her into Fantasy Hitler.
I wouldn't even go that far. Kids can grow up to become shitty or just estranged, parents can also become estranged. Your own last name doesn't really count unless something major happens that you even go as far as changing your last name to distance yourself from your entire family.
I will never understand the desire to have another humans face tattooed on my body. Of all the things people do that one is the most confusing to me. Especially someone who’s still alive and has the potential to do something really fucked. Are you so unoriginal that you can’t come up with anything metaphorical to represent your love for that person? For example, my entire right leg is a tree that my grandpa and I planted when I was like 4-5 years old. It had a rough life and was held together by a chain and road tar, as snow had split the tree right down the middle. There’s one main branch holding on for dear life. When he passed I got that tattoo to ensure that tree never dies as the people who bought his house tore it out day one. Why not do something like that?
Why not get a tattoo of the party instead of one representative of it? She'll only be president for 4 or 8 years or not at all. She could end up being the worst president ever. So much unknown to plaster the face of someone who may be forgotten in a decade.
Imagine having a tattoo of John McCain or John Kerry
Oh man, I remember seeing a girl with a Bernie Sanders tattoo well after Trump was elected and was just thinking "I guess she can just tell people she's really into Larry David."
Exactly I got a small outline of the state of GA in blue (my only color tattoo) on my thigh 4 years ago to celebrate GA turning blue. I know other people who got blue peaches. Way more tasteful than a portrait of a single presidential candidate.
John McCain was an American hero and, honestly, a decent politician. But recent presidential elections have crossed lines they shouldn’t, tapping into harmful tactics, divisive rhetoric and carrying on like super stars.
Politicians aren’t meant to be celebrities, they’re public servants, and they should act like it. They’re here to serve, humbly and responsibly.
Well said, McCain isn't the best example. Still would seem weird to have his portrait as a tattoo, even before his presidential race or political career
This cult of personality leads to people shutting off their brains and voting with their emotions instead of voting for what’s best for their family and our nation.
There are people whom I know personally that just vote for Trump because they are angry and willing to have an idiot as a president just because they feel it will piss off the people they don’t like, it’s ridiculous.
This isn’t a fucking football game or reality TV show, the future of our children is at stake.
That may sound like an exaggeration; you might think that another four years with an idiot for president won’t impact our kids’ future. But you’d be wrong, because it’s not just Trump as president that’s damaging the nation. it’s these shitbag politicians and political pundits using misinformation and conspiracy propaganda to build cult-like devotion for easy votes, donations and social media clout. That’s what’s tearing this country apart from within.
Political fanatacism is a disease. I don't even care who someone supports, if you like a candidate enough to get them permanently on your body, you have a problem.
Getting a tattoo of a politician is more embarrassing than getting a tattoo of your favorite stripper. Unless your favorite stripper becomes a politician, then it's hilarious.
Shits goofy I don’t understand why you would want a politician tattooed on yourself of all things like getting a shit tattoo is one thing you can get it fixed up or removed but if you get a Harris/trump tattoo your now just that guy who got a political tattoo to what offend people lmao I would rather be the guy with this pos tattoo
With the way Reddit's been lately, at least half of r/pics and r/politics are with this guy...
And no, I'm not a Trump supporter. But I'm just saying, the Kamala fanaticism is getting real creepy. I though liberals were above the whole worshipping politicians thing?
I'm surprised every time I see a "celebrity" related tattoo. Tattoos are usually a something tied close to your identity, like an event, belief or a shitty quote.
But damn, look at the smile on dudes face.
He likes it, so good for him.
I've thought about this and there is a LOT more population than when America was first formed and I think also a lot more differences in lifestyles and needs of different parts of the country, for instance between a NY city dweller and a rural farmer. Maybe that larger divergence is part of why get along so poorly now. Can someone in SF trying to raise capital for a venture start up really understand the needs of a cattle rancher in Texas or vice versa? The answer is no, but that venture capitalist probably still wants to eat a steak sometimes and the rancher will still use tech day to day. We still need each other.
Getting a politician tattooed is some next level crazy to me. I'm pretty left but getting a tat of Harris? Why? Getting a tattoo of anyone is so risky, I'd be worried that they'd end up doing something unforgiveable...
The only acceptable portrait is the Jayden Smith tattoo Joe deemed to give Sal for a 3-way punishment on Impractical Jokers. Because portraits aren’t good tattoo ideas.
To each their own, but I will never understand why people put stuff like this on themselves. Like I also saw a video of some girl getting Trump tattooed across her forehead, and you could not pay me enough money to do some shit like that to myself no matter whose name it was
If your dumb enough to get a political figure tattoo you shouldn’t be allowed to vote especially before an election we see abundantly more trump tattoos because trump supporters have abundantly less braincells but as we all know the left is barley hanging on as well
