What would Steve do?
Possibly penned a quote in my favourite font, which is Garamond.
But - most likely - it would have found its way to illuminate Apple publishing material, rather than feature as some form of what some describe as body art.
What would Steve do?
Those types of tats can be viewed as a bit trite and some of those people who get those types of tattoos may be viewed as shallow (not that they are but perception wise), not really the response perhaps they were looking for. That's my take on it at least.but in reality it just comes across as pseudo-philosophical nonsense and makes them look even stupider.
Each to their own.

I wonder if this person still thinks it is a relevant tattoo?
Certinly a conversation starter!
If you google just about any subject with the word tattoo at the end, it's amazing what people have had done.That certainly can be a timeless tattoo and something that I think can age well. On the other hand, this doesn't imo

Just remember any tattoo you get today will have a different saying in 30 years when things sag and wrinkle.
I admire your choice of Steve Jobs quotes.
I don't care for tattoos on anyone, I'm afraid. I find them deeply unattractive on both men and women. Contrary to what you might think, that a tattoo is a mark of individuality, it is actually a sub-summation of your individuality, and a sign that you belong to a pack of people who have tattoos. You may be fine with that, but it will permanently create a sense of alienation with those who don't. I have met lots of pleasant people with tattoos, but it is impossible to get past the mark to find the person.

I have no such issues, in fact I can get along with tattooed people just as easily as non-tattooed people. In fact I find that people act the same (for better or worse) regardless of the ink on their skin. I feel its your loss that you cannot get past someone else's decision on how to care for their body.I have met lots of pleasant people with tattoos, but it is impossible to get past the mark to find the person.

Well I didn't exist 30 years ago, soooo... I can't really answer that.What inspirational saying would you have chosen 30 years ago in 1986? Would you still be happy with that today?
But by the same token, that man can be one of the most caring and gentle men there is. Why judge him because of his outward appearance? Isn't what is on the insides more important then what may be on the outside?I would struggle to not be distracted by this tattoo.

this is an interesting argument, one that i personally don't do (like i don't judge people if i see visible tatoos unless its like that one guy who you posted which was gross), but you definitely have to expect random people you see will judge you since thats human nature.How we look to the world is always making a statement. Some of it we can control, some of it we can't.
If you get a tattoo that is readily visible, you are making a statement to people, and should expect to be judged for that statement.
have longish sideburns and i expect some people to judge me for it, but personally i don't care about it. definitely something to consider though. also sideburns can be easily removed if necessary, tatoos not so much
Go for it...but do it in Sanskrit.It's not that I'm afraid of people liking it or not, I couldn't care less about that. But Steve was loved by many and hated by others. I mean I don't think it would be like getting a Hitler quote tattooed on me or something, but... I don't know. A good friend of mine has a Carl Sagan quote on her forearm and it's beautiful. I would like to put mine maybe on my upper arm or shoulder blade.
Some of the quotes I'm considering are the usual suspects: "Stay hungry, stay foolish", "The ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do", and quite possibly my favorite, "Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice."
Any opinions, questions or stories of your own tattoos or those of people you know are more than welcome; nothing is off limits.
What judgement could people make about sideburns?this is an interesting argument, one that i personally don't do (like i don't judge people if i see visible tatoos unless its like that one guy who you posted which was gross), but you definitely have to expect random people you see will judge you since thats human nature.

Some people get upset over the silliest things...What judgement could people make about sideburns?
Grooviness?What judgement could people make about sideburns?
Grooviness?
Oh you know, "it's not professional" or "who do you think you are? Elvis?" or "girls will think it looks bad" or "you look messy and unkempt"What judgement could people make about sideburns?
