We Asked People Why They Got Tattoos of Donald Trump

Dmitri, 24, Employee at a Pizza Restaurant

"I saw the Trump tattoos on the news and called that night. When I called, they said, 'Do you want the slogan?' I said, 'No, I want the face!'"

It's a story for me. Ten years from now, I'm going to be telling people, 'Yeah, this dude ran for president.' If he became president, that's one thing. That'd be awesome. If he became president and got assassinated, that's another story right there. Right? Like, 'Dude, dead president on my leg.' It's a win-win. And win-win-win, because it's ink on my body for free.

My mother hates it. She thinks Donald Trump is ignorant. I don't care. I don't even care who is president at all. I'm a felon—I can't even vote. It's just a story for me."






Bill, 46, Local Peace officer

"It's a commitment. You can say you support a candidate—you can say you support an understanding or belief. But to get a tattoo, which is for the rest of your life, that's a commitment. And that's kind of the statement I wanted to make, which is, I believe in making America great, to the point where I'm willing to wear it for the rest of my life. The people I've talked to feel the exact same way.

The tattoo is a way to show people our commitment, not just to Donald Trump but to the idea that we want to make America great again. He coined the phrase and I'm going to pick it up and carry it—for the rest of my life. It doesn't matter if it was free or $100. The price is irrelevant. It's something that you can believe in. Who doesn't want to make America great?"

1. A campaign lasts about a year.

Ridicule for a stupid tattoo lasts forever.

That is why I think that people who get tattoos are likewise stupid.

Remember this guy some four years ago?


How'd that work out for him? One wonders whether he can even get employed.

2. Yes

3. And I don't even get a bumper sticker for my car no matter who I support

I can't imagine getting a Hillary or Bernie tattoo. Never would happen even if they turn out to be the best president in history.

7. Re: bumper stickers.

Yes, I like to have intact tires when I leave the grocery store. The keying I am not too worried about. My car is over 20 years old, a Volvo four cylinder, the most reliable car type ever. However, as I am on SocSec, I cannot afford to replace my tires every time I go to town and park some place.

Therefore, no bumper stickers.

18. People are nasty.

Stay safe friend.

16. Romney tattoo guy got laser treatments to remove it, and he was offering the space again

From January of last year:

Romney Face Tattoo Guy Says He’s Not Supporting Romney In 2016

Hartsburg was paid $15,000 by an anonymous Republican eBay user to get the tattoo, according to ABC News. Since the 2012 election, he said he has had two laser treatments to remove the now-faded tattoo from his face, adding that he’s ready to part with and “diss” Romney for good.

...

Hartsburg added that he’s willing to sell the space, and cited Marco Rubio, Chris Christie, and Hillary Clinton as interesting candidates, but told BuzzFeed News he is “wide open.”

Think this person is ewually stupid.

12. I like him fine, but getting that tat is stupid.

Because all tats are stupid. It usually goes down something like this: "Hold my beer why I go into this tattoo parlor!"

And the tattoo is forever, usually made on bad choices.

14. Hillary tattoo

[longship]

17. Equally stupid.

Tats are just stupid, especially if they show, but even if they don't.

Your pic does not show on my iPhone, but I don't need to see it to judge that it's stupid to get it. Just like all tattoos.
