Alright, let’s talk about this… uh… “margiela tattoo” thing. I ain’t no fancy expert or nothin’, just a plain ol’ person who’s seen a thing or two, you know?
What’s this Margiela Anyways?
First off, this Margiela fella, or whatever it is, sounds like some kinda big shot in the fashion world. Heard tell they make clothes and shoes, some kinda fancy “MM6 Margiela x Dr. Martens” shoes, people talkin’ about ’em. Don’t know nothin’ ’bout that. Folks always makin’ a fuss over new things, then they forget all about it. Like them “margiela futures” shoes, they was all the rage back in the day, now nobody cares much.
Tattoos? Ain’t nothin’ new.
Now, tattoos, that’s somethin’ I understand a little better. Seen plenty of ’em in my time. Some folks get ’em ’cause they look pretty, some ’cause they mean somethin’ special. Heard tell they even got tattoos that look like makeup, “trompe-l’oeil makeup,” they call it. Fake tattoos, like. This Margiela fella, he used to put fake tattoos on them skinny models, or paint black circles around their eyes, like Jackie O sunglasses, whatever that is. Seems kinda silly to me, but hey, to each their own, right?
- Pain, Pain, Go Away
Now, talkin’ ’bout tattoos, you gotta talk about the pain. Lordy, I heard some places hurt somethin’ awful. Back of the knee? Armpit? No thank you! Foot ain’t much better, I reckon. Not much meat there, just bone and nerves. Heard folks say it hurts to walk after gettin’ a tattoo there. Makes sense, I guess. Swellin’ and all that.
Why folks get ’em? Who knows!
Some smart folks, they done studies and such. Say folks who get tattoos like excitement, like feelin’ things, even pain sometimes. Some kinda “masochism,” they call it. Sounds like a fancy word for bein’ a little crazy, if you ask me. But then again, folks do all sorts of things I don’t understand. Heard tell some tattoos are just plain dumb, like them “tribal” ones. Folks get ’em, then they regret it later. Waste of money, if you ask me.
Tattoos are tough, like it or not.
But one thing’s for sure, tattoos stick around. Heard someone say they’re “durable fashion,” the ultimate durable fashion. Guess that’s true. Clothes wear out, shoes get holes, but tattoos, they stay with you. Kinda scary, kinda neat, depends on how you look at it.
Margiela and Tattoos? What’s the connection?

So, this Margiela and tattoos… what’s the big deal? Seems like he used ’em as part of his “art,” his fashion thing. Maybe he liked the way they looked, maybe he was tryin’ to say somethin’ deep. I ain’t no art critic, I don’t know. But I reckon it don’t matter much. Tattoos are tattoos, whether they’re on a fancy model or a regular Joe. And whether you like ’em or not, they’re here to stay.
Where to get ’em, and who cares about reps?
Now, if you’re thinkin’ ’bout gettin’ a tattoo, make sure you go to someone who knows what they’re doin’. Don’t go gettin’ some cheap, bad tattoo. You’ll regret it, I tell ya. And don’t go lookin’ for no cheap copies, like them “reps” people talk about. Heard tell Korean ones are better than Chinese ones, but why bother? Just get the real deal, or don’t get it at all. That’s what I say. Save your money, buy yourself somethin’ nice, like a good pair of shoes that won’t hurt your feet. Though, maybe not those margiela futures shoes, since they’re not popular anymore.
Tattoos: A personal thing.
In the end, tattoos is a personal thing. If you want one, get one. If you don’t, don’t. Just don’t go blamin’ me if it hurts, or if you change your mind later. And don’t go expectin’ me to understand all this “margiela tattoo” business. I’m just a simple person, tryin’ to make sense of the world, one day at a time. And in my book, a tattoo is just a picture on your skin, nothin’ more, nothin’ less.
So, there you have it. My two cents on this whole Margiela tattoo thing. Hope it made some kinda sense. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some supper. Got a pot of beans on the stove, and they ain’t gonna cook themselves.
