ARGENTINA - WORLD LEADER IN THE STUPIDEST TATTOOS AWARDS? 🇦🇷

A lot of people from a lot of countries have stupid tattoos today, stupid tattoos are ‘fairly normal’ thing now - but have noticed being in Argentina that of all the countries I’ve been to Argentina *seems* to have the highest density of stupid tattoos. Can’t empirically quantify this obviously, (so this is purely anecdotal feel free to disagree,) but it’s the impression I get. Have seen some real screamers, some really bad ones on the women especially. Worst one I saw was a moderately attractive woman with the gremlins from ‘Gremlins’ (1984) on her arm as an entire arm sleeve. Not Gizmo either, the scaly lizard gremlins. She was only about 25 too, she wasn’t some old auntie who watched the movie growing up. Why would you get this on your body? Have also seen, variously, a woman with a tattoo of a naked woman pressing down on a man’s head as he ‘eats out’ her ‘pussy’, a woman with a tattoo of Captain Jack Sparrow urinating against a wall that said ACAB on it, a woman with a tattoo of Jon Snow from ‘Game of Thrones’ (2011) waving a Palestine flag and a woman with a tattoo of her dead dog but the image isn’t of the dog alive it’s of the dog dead and rotting. Many other stupid smaller ones too

I’ve been to about 140 countries at this point and even if it turns out Argentina is not strictly the world’s number one leader in stupid tattoos I still want to say (my very strong feeling from direct experience is) it is at least ‘up there’. With America, with Canada, with Australia, with the Yookay, with Spain, with Brazil etc. They can all be pretty bad but I can’t think of any worse countries for this kind of ‘stupidtattooism’ out of all those places than Argentina, at least in my personal experience. What is going on? Well - people have a lot of tattoos in Argentina to begin with, they’re everywhere, so you assume of those who get tattoos a certain portion of them are going to exhibit bad judgement. To what degree though? This is obviously not ‘Liberalism for 130IQ+ Anglos’ world, the scope has been broaden a bit to 105IQ quite attractive 4th generation Italian immigrant women with bangs and it turns out maybe a few more of them have not ‘as good taste’ as the ‘130IQ+ Anglo’ than you might assume. Sometimes it’s like… if a version of the ‘Dinergoth’ subculture except it’s ‘the equivalent of that but from 15 years ago instead’ took over an entire country, the taste you see exhibited occasionally

Want to say, to qualify, I don’t have a particular issue with tattooos - I don’t mind them though I don’t have any myself. Not all Argentinians have bad tattoos obviously, most of them look fine or even occasionally good, but have felt like raising my eyebrows at some that I’ve seen ‘reasonably’ often. I like Argentina a lot - please note - but a lot of it reminds me of Spain, in the sense there’s a culture of guardrail-free hyperliberalism in places that, my impression is, apart from producing a lot of ‘shitlibs’ who love electing some version of Peronism whenever possible also makes them like to do things like ‘get stupid tattoos’. Could say, “oh maybe the people you met were just lower-class people who are more likely to get stupid tattoos anyway” - and maybe that’s true. But still it’s weird when you see quite attractive women with stupid tattoos, I do ‘reckon’ there must be ‘something going on’ in the culture maybe more than elsewhere

To the broader point, I think it’s important to ‘be aware’ of the hyperliberalism streak in Argentinian culture if you want to go about understanding Argentina proper. Can be an asset insofar as it makes Argentina more European and ‘sophisticated’ than other Latin American countries in properly discerning hands, but also a curse insofar as (like in many other places in the west) it can lead people into stupid fads; cultural, political or otherwiseImage

Some adjacent, more ‘vibes-based’ commentary. When I say ‘imagine if a version of the ‘Dinergoth’ subculture except it’s ‘the equivalent of that but from 15 years ago instead’ took over an entire country - that’s the taste you see exhibited occasionally’, I don’t think that just applies to stupid tattoos of dated pop culture references

There’s a kind of energy in Argentina, or at least in parts of Buenos Aires, where everything feels 5 - 15 years ‘trend-wise’ behind what you get in say America or Britain. What do I mean? Here’s an example of it - in Buenos Aires there’s a bar area in a fairly nice neighbourhood called Palermo that I go to a lot. Lot of the bars play British music, which is nice, but it’s British music from the 00’s and early 10’s. So it’s Kasabian and the Kooks and Franz Ferdinand. Sometimes Bowie. Which, I like those bands I like that ‘vibe’ but you do notice, it feels like a time portal sometimes. Lot of people around dressed like it’s 2014 too. Again, don’t dislike that but you do notice it sometimes. It’s ‘downstream stuff reasonably intelligent Europeans would like by default if nobody was telling them what to like’ ‘vibes’

Want to say, just to give a contrast, there are some very tasteful Argentinians, one woman I met I think had the most tasteful book shelf I’d ever seen a woman have; W. G. Sebald, Roberto Bolano, César Aira, José Martí, even Michel Houellebecq (though she was a soft communist) etc. What I do enjoy especially about Argentina is you also have a sense that there’s still a legacy European ‘high culture’ too

At both ends of this there is something in Argentinian culture where it’s like, how to say… there’s a slight uncanniness. Does feel like ‘European culture reconstructed on the other side of the world on a slight lag’ which, you suppose, Argentina literally is anyway. Again, either way, I like Argentina a lotImage

Important to note that TFR declined started before Bukele and was also declining during the gang insurgency period and that this also represents a general pattern across Central America. Hello ‘Hypermodernity’. It does not seem though that Bukele’s interventions have improved it Image

The Sahel obviously the place to go if you’re a fan of Renaissance Fair-style Medieval LARP. Almost 150 million people there engaging in what must be the biggest and most realistic live reenactment of the early Middle Ages anywhere in the world. A must visit if you enjoy LARPing Image
Out of all the world’s regions ‘The Sahel’ is possibly the most difficult to travel to - not just because of no infrastructure, extremely poor, bad climate, inefficient and glacial-paced bureaucracy etc but also because the people there, I am told, sometimes tend to be quite hostile. Not just the obvious Islamic militias who execute entire villages, know of a guy who went to N’Djamena in Chad and reported getting harassed and threatened by people on the streets of the capital while out for a walk. Possibly he was just being stupid in someway but still, maybe evidences a sensitivity people there haveImage
Very cool

You sometimes get impression with the Greek Epics that a lot of the content was basically the ‘Marvel Capeshit’ of its day, fanfic-esque sequels for all the popular ‘Heroes’, going to hear the town bard sing about Troy again like going to the cinema to watch a new Avengers movie Image
Was there also hyper-autistic hero fandom?
Lots of Roman ‘Shared Universe’ ‘Crossover’ fanfic. Apart from Ovid Virgil obviously the other big one Image

Dutch bravely trying to perfect the 22nd century ‘dissolve all countries but also now Europeans can live anywhere’ patchwork model in Bali but the Indonesians still holding out clinging to outdated 20th century models of the nation state. Sad! Which vision for Bali do you prefer? Image
