They're good if you want to be different exactly like everybody else and maybe are a bit of an attention wh*re. They generally don't seem to communicate much to me otherwise except self-absorption and a streak of impracticality. The way I see it, if you want to have a philosophy, live it. A tattoo doesn't do that for you, even a little, no more than wearing a cross makes you a good Christian. In fact having to make such a fuss about it makes me believe a person is trying to convince himself of something he doesn't really believe yet, and it make me more wary regarding how much he really knows where he's at.
