Trashy Tattoos or People Trashing Tattoos
Let’s talk trash about the issue of trashy tattoos and people. The usual way of thinking when it comes to people without tattoos is that they think people with tattoos are trashy.
Almost everyone has a tattoo these days and anyone can be trashy. So the real truth is.. tattoos don’t make people look trashy, people make tattoos look trashy.
The stereotype typical of “trashy” people is little class, foul mouthed, no (or missing) teeth, uncouth, rude, tattooed folk. Trashy people are especially keen on big hair, mullets, sleeveless T-shirts, skimpy cut off shirts, acid wash or black jeans, visible thong underwear, and tattoos.
Trashy people are depicted as having three or more yard cars, a RV up on cement blocks, a half dozen huntin’ hounds, attack chickens, and an unusual fondness for NASCAR, their siblings, and tastless, trashy tattoos.
Here’s the catch-22; trashy people are blatantly attracted to tattoos, and the tackier and trasher the tattoo the better. Trashy women see their bodies as being better looking than they really are. Therefore these dames expose a lot of skin wearing skimpy clothes all to draw attention to their tasteless tattoos. And trashy men, they usually get their own names tattooed on their arms, just so they don’t forget it after drinkin one to many Bud Pound-das.
Take a look at the couple in this photo. Now here is a classic example of a trashy couple. Mullet, tacky fishing T-shirt with cut off sleeves, with the macho manly message to the world that “he’s a dude that don’t take nothing from no one.”
And hanging off his hip, the little lady herself…his trashy bride. Black bra strap off the shoulder, pregnant, probably barefoot (can’t tell by the photo), and missing her front tooth. The only thing missing in this picture are trashy tattoos… the Disney cartoon characters, the tattoos of favorite NASCAR racecar numbers, or tattoos of her second ex husband’s name.
Yes, it seems these trashy specimens of people are trashy even without tattoos. Again, the bottom line here is nearly everyone these days has a tattoo and ANYONE can be trashy.
Someone can be filthy rich, without a single tattoo, and still be a piece of trash, just as someone can live paycheck to paycheck covered in tattoos and still be classy. It’s not about the tattoos its about the person. Tattoos can be discerning and discrete or brassy and bold depending on whether the person with tattoos is of class or of trash.
