What is the purpose of rappers and basketball players covering their bodies up with tattoos?


I wonder if they regret some of the tattoos or will regret them later. A lot of them are in their 20's some in their 30's. I wonder how they will feel when they get older about having this mess all over their bodies.|||The same reason rockers and everybody else does it. They think it looks good.Whether they will feel bad or not about them later, they got nobody else to blame but themselves.|||ii wonder da sammmmme thing. but i dont like how u put rappers and basketball players (Black people) n forgot to throw in there biker gangs, and people who listen to/perform rock music (WHITE PEOPLE) i personally dont no y they do that i think its retarted cuz if u really look at their body (no homo) after like a couple of real tatoos that are actually about something in their life they tottoo a whole bunch of crap just to cover their whole body they dont care what it is n i dont understand dat neither|||Because they like the tats they get..like if u were to get a tattoo..other people would ask why would you damage your body like that..its just gonna look ugly when u get in your 60s+..





I have 8 Tattoos but they all come from the heart and mean sumthing..whether is respecting the passed away family members..or my living family member and how much i love them..|||That's just your own opinion. I have a half sleeve and two other tats and that last thing I worry about is how they're going to look when i'm older. Anyway, they're multimillionaires. If they really want them removed, there are options for that.|||yeah you know what....i asked this guy since he's a basketball playing rapper as well.....

he's says its because they are black....they gotta do something with their skin to correct their issue...|||They feel they are unique but don't realize 10000000 other people have it done aswell.|||Allen iverson = the OG of gangster ink|||Don't forget those "rockers." Idk why they do it but they look so...ew! They don't even look clean.|||Because they look cool.|||so you would ask questions about them
