Memes are no longer just amusing images of gifs that we laugh and share with others online – I continue to see an influx of meme tattoos on Instagram and I can’t say I hate it.
There are some people who cannot fathom why someone would get a tattoo to represent their favourite character, film or television show because they’re of the belief that tattoos must have some incredibly moving meaning behind them. I’m sure the concept of getting a meme tattoo would confuse these people even more, but it’s simply a reminder that we get tattoos for ourselves, and not other people.
Forget what others will say and get that meme tattoo if you so wish.
I don’t have any actual statistics to support my view, but I believe you’re more likely to regret a tattoo of the name of a former flame than you are one of a funny meme.
As long as you choose a reputable and talented tattoo artist, the worst that can happen is that the meme doesn’t make you laugh as much in years to come – fairly minor in the grand scheme of things.
The real star of this list of my favourite meme tattoos is SpongeBob SquarePants who has managed to make three appearances because they were all too good to pass up.
Would you ever get a tattoo inspired by a meme?
