A lot of people who have tattoos will tell you they did it because it means something to them. Of those people, only a handlful of them actually mean it; these are the people who get tattoos of their kids, family members, religion etc. Everyone else is bullshitting you and just wants to come off as "deep", even some people who get religious tattoos are bullshitting about the meaning. Anyone with a brain can come up with some arbitrary meaning for a tattoo and most people do because they don't want to be that person who got one because they thought it was "cool". So what do they do? They just make up some random bullshit to justify it. These are the types of people who I call twigs. Why? because they are fickle.
Example 1)
Guy gets a dragon tattoo. So you ask him why? He comes up with this super long story about what it means to him etc. i.e douche bag :"it means strength and how I always over come it". BULLSHIT. This guy got it because he thought it was cool. There are plenty of things that mean strength and shit, so why get a dragon? What about getting a tattoo of giant metal rod, like the one you are, to represent strength. OR better yet, why not just get the word strength tattooed? That will get the point home no?
Example 2)
Koi fish. I have no idea what koi fish means, but apparently means something along the lines of wealth and longevity. Again, this person got it possibly because they thought it was cool and wanted to be "cool" like douchebag #1 up top.
Bottom line is, most people get tattoos because they think it looks cool or they think it will change them in someway. In some cases it does change them. Maybe it makes them more bad assish or w.e. , but the MAIN reason they got it is because it looks COOL. Not because of its meaning. You can smell bullshit when you ask someone about their dragon /koifish tattoo.
I have a bubble tea, banana peel, and dragon turtle. Why? because they look fucking cool!
