Why not?
Apart from when they were misused by an Austrian in the first half of the twentieth century, they have stood for nothing but positivity for millenia and have been found in almost all ancient civilisations.

Are you saying that there is no more skill required to do the tattoos in the OP than there is to do something like this:
?

Goddamn, I love OCUK's predictability 
Show anyone who knows tattoos and the response is entirely positive for the guy's work (especially considering the fact that he is only 22 years old), show this merry band of keyboard enthusiasts and you get the usual tripe about 'they will regret it', 'what about when they're 60?' and 'that's average'.

PS: Miami Ink is crap, the artists are average at best (that's a genuine average) and that show and it's ilk are ruining an industry.

Yeah, tattoos have been played out for the last five thousand plus years...Everyone whose been inked in that time is just a sheep! Stick it to the man!
“Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.”
Plus the fact that modern inks and methods virtually negate the 'green ink' thing...

I've posted them in several places to see the differing reactions. Its quite interesting....

Not everyone likes tattoo's my friend
Including me. I think they all look awful.
I'm not expecting everyone to. Life would be dull if we all agreed on everything.
It's just slightly insulting when the usual crap about 'regret' is bandied about; it is a direct attack on the individual by someone who knows nothing about them.

Only if you regret getting older. Everyone knows that your skin changes as you age and I'm pretty sure that NOBODY gets a tattoo thinking that it will look pristine for life. I think it is quite patronising to assume that age=regret.
My tattoos will look different when I'm older. Will that cause me to regret them? I can't see why it would...And if by some bizarre reason, I do have regrets about them when I am elderly, it is a regret which I would much rather have than regretting not having them when the time was right.

Garver's good but he's not brilliant. I'd still call the vast majority of stuff on that show 'average'; they don't make me go 'omfg' when I see them.
The OP is all by Marc of Swastika-Freakshop.de

I'm not insulted, I just see it as an insulting act to make crass assumptions about others.
Pics of you 15 years ago please.

They're all from one artist who has a particular style of working. It is only natural that they will therefore look similar.
With good artists, you don't pick a bit of flash off the wall or go in the shop with a photo of David Beckham and go 'want that one...', you give them at most an idea and let them run with it or do whatever they think will suit the area being inked.

No I don't. The only time I change jewelery is because I've lost a bit or if I'm stretching the piercing. I just got some 26mm teak plugs. They're ****ing gorgeous...But when I go to 28, they'll be stuck in a drawer, sold or traded. Stop talking crap.
Horlicks.
The angle, direction, straightness, bendiness or anything else has no impact on what 'kind' of swastika it is. The only thing that does is context.
T-shirt with a swastika inside a lotus flower being sported by a hippy type? Probably a good one.
Flag with a swastika on it being waved by an angry WASP skinhead? Probably a bad one.
