This is what you say about the cybersigilism tattoo trend

Spikes, spikes and abstract shapes: This is what the cybersigilism tattoos that are currently trending among Gen Z look like. The futuristic motifs, reminiscent of tribals from the 90s, can always be seen. You can find out more about the tattoo trend in the original article here. In the comments, the community commented on the topic of tattoos in general and the long-term consequences of them. We have summarized the most important opinions for you here.

Many readers discuss the question: What if you regret the tattoo in the future? User Kay39 commented: “It really hurts me when I see young people with such large tattoos on all kinds of parts of their bodies.” What if they don’t like it anymore? Laser removal is painful, expensive and leaves unsightly scars.”

User Salutmeinklein brings another point into the discussion: “Everyone should do what they want. However, I think tattoos are just fashion now. A lot of people have tattoos just to be there, like they used to smoke.” Also belladonna. writes: “If you’re thinking about getting a tattoo because of a social fashion trend, you might want to leave it alone.”

But not all users see tattoos as just a passing fad, as for Natrixhelvetica: “A tattoo is not just a picture or a decoration or an ornament. It also marks an important moment in life.” Justice_ also thinks so: “I don’t think people will regret their tattoos later.” There are also memories attached to them.”

User FreeWorld is also in favor of tattoos, but he criticizes: “In principle, everyone should get tattoos as they please.” It becomes more difficult with certain symbols or traditional motifs that were/are culturally anchored. These should not be engraved carelessly or without conviction.”

But possible negative consequences for the skin, both health and aesthetic, are also discussed in the comment column: “The skin is an organ with a very important function and should not be damaged for other purposes,” says Saurokton. Muki82 also asks the question: “And what will these tattoos look like on old skin in 30-40 years?”

However, this view is not shared by the entire community, as for many, personal expression is more important than possible health concerns. Schweizerspinner, for example, defends his own decision to get tattoos: “Since I have tattoos on my arms myself, I can say from personal experience: the right tattoo, in the right place, is still cool even when you get older.”

Some users also share anecdotes from their own family or circle of friends. “My aunt, now 60 years old, runs around with ass antlers. “She keeps telling me why no one stopped her back then,” commented ExternalCH. VreniCH says: “My colleague had a unicorn tattooed on her stomach. During pregnancy it became a giraffe. After birth it looked like an elephant.”
