Not sure why tattoos have to be 'cool', or 'cheugy', or even have meanings, If you're happy with what you have thats the important part. I feel shaming people on the tattoos they have little to no purpose. Love your take on this, can't wait for the next one! 🎂
But eventually you are going to stop being happy about your 90's tribal tramp stamp or your 2000's emo stars or your 2010s low poly deer. Because when the only value of something is that is a trend or a fad your love for it will fade as soon as the trend does. With clothing or other arts it's not a problem, you throw them and move on but tattoo artists deal with permanent trends, imagine if you could never wear anything but JNCO jeans for the rest of your life. That's why is important for artists to detect fads early and advise against them to people that doesn't know better. Don't get me wrong I know plenty of people happy with their campy old tattoos and more power to them, but I would guess laser tattoo removal clinics see a lot of fallen trends daily.
Tattoos are permanent so people really shouldn't worry about whether their tattoos are trendy or cheugy because those ideas are nebulous and temporary, just get something you like! I'm also not a fan of people bashing tats / anything else for views
The dude calling consumerism 'cheugy' when being 'trendy' is the most consumerist thing you can do 🤦🏻♀️ I love your videos bc you make the tattoo culture nice and accessible instead of roasting strangers over pointless stuff, tattoos are personal so don't belong in trends
There's something a bit offensive about saying that the tree of life symbol is cheugy while it holds a strong cultural significance in celtic cultures. There's nothing cheugy about culture
I agree, symbols that relate religion/tradition/culture can not be "uncool". It just doesn't make sense - no one would ever say that the cross of Christ or the Om symbol are past trends.
Give it 10 years and all the trendy gen z tats will look cheugy too. Frog with a cowboy hat... tiny tats scattered all over... greek statue with half the face shifted... Anything that's trendy will eventually stop being trendy. Doesn't mean you can't still like it or get it. Tattoos are permanent, but they can make for fun little time capsules.
This! I know that a lot of people want super deep meanings to their tattoos that show their personality n stuff, but I’ve always thought that if I were to get any tattoos I would want my body to be like a roadmap or a picture book of my life.

@@MusicFromTheOm that's the funny thing to me, especially in the past 5/10 years EVERYTHING is coming back in style, and the only reason everyone's shitting on the mid-2010's is because they're close enough in time that people moved on from what was trendy back then, and not far enough to come back in style as a "vintage" look
I don't think it's even possible to have "cheugy" tattoos since a tattoo is typically for life. You can't judge a tattoo someone may have gotten a decade ago by what's trendy today.
while i agree but most people that got their tattoos mostly resembles their trending time/era. so i guess.. it contradicts the.. last sentence of urs. (idk just saying my observation..)

I know that first tiktok vid of the girl calling all the tattoos cheugy was meant to be a joke but she comes off so salty about other people just existing 😂
Ok , no one has the right to judge anyone, as a tattoo artist , people get what they like, the guy saying stars symbols weren't a personality trait neither is the Batman symbol on the inside of his bicep. That's no different.
i hate how the word cheugy sounds like it elicits a visceral reaction from me. kinda like how some people hate the word moist😂 also, i’d love to hear you talk about blast over tattoos! 🎂
This is the first video I've watched of yours. I rarely comment on videos, but I just wanted to say I appreciate how kind and non-judgemental you are! I sometimes get insecure about my tattoos, because of some judgemental messages by other tattood people on the internet. You are a breath of fresh air! Subscribed!
Lol but that happens mostly because they just started collecting and didn't know about etiquette. Also it's pretty damn hard to find an artist, who does his own designs. For my copied tattoo I wanted him to create something new, but he asked for reference and just copied one of it the day of the appointment. I thought that this was how it goes and now I have a copied tattoo. It's okay since I don't post it online or meet the person with the original by any chance Also my tattoo has shading instead of dotwork and has another placement.
@@katik4208 I’m sure there are others who were just ignorant but I’ve seen too many people not seeing an issue with tattoo copying even after having it nicely explained to them. And I’m sorry for your experience; that’s definitely on the tattoo artist but if you do your research it’s really not hard to find artists who do their own designs. Reputable artists are completely against tattoo copying. Or idk maybe the area you’re in just doesn’t have a great selection of artists
@@nottogood415 at this point there really is no such thing as an “original idea” but inspiration is different from blatant plagiarism. If enough elements are changed, I think it’s fine. Then again, that is also arbitrary. But some stuff are just so blatantly plagiarized, I feel like those should be called out. I do agree that with some stuff there’s not much you can do to try and “change” the designs esp if they’re popular designs
Cheugy is just a disgusting word. People shouldn't care so much about others, if you think I have a tattoo that's 'cheugy' then you're just sad, if I had it done then I'd most likely enjoy my tattoo and no offense but I don't need some pre-teen high school kid telling me that 🤣
Nahh as a gen z I had never heard chuegy used before until i saw a buzzfeed article of millennials complaining about it. I promise you late teens/early 20s kids do not hate skinny jeans, pinterest tattoos, or other FADs that were trendy 5-10 years ago. Style changes overtime but it doesn’t have to dictate anyone’s personal choices, if someone enjoys a dated or explored trend then I just like to say they’re ahead of the curve for when it comes back in style 😄🎂
I hoenstly think that all those new trends are just a tiktok thing, I'm 21 and have 0 idea of most of that stuff, not even my younger sibling knows that stuff. Skinny Jeans are great hoenstly idk what's wrong about them. Imo it's just a group of teens that want to be cool/different/special and those adults in the two tiktoks just seem desperate to be cool.
Kids ten years from now will be making videos on the next cool app saying that small butterflies, small snakes and gothic font script are the equivalent of cheugy in ten yars from now slang. Just let people get whatever they want and mind your business.
As the older generation feel tattoos are a taboo, a younger generations find some of them cheugy… It’s a good thing it’s something we do for ourselves and we don’t really care about their opinions anyway 🎂
Thank you for talking about this! Definitely never heard that word before. As a tattooer I try and respect everyone’s vision, tattoos are for everyone +18 and people are so different. It’s the tattooers job to do the best they can to make someone go home happy and confident. Earlier this week I tattooed my younger sister. It was something small and dinky on her ankle I made fun of her a-little told her it was lame but she really wanted it. Made her promise me to let me cover it in the future when she decides to get something “cool”. 🎂
Cheugy/uncool is so highschool. I thought we were past this in 2021, letting people wear what they want and what they think is pretty. The idea of letting what is considered cool control what tattoos you get and what you wear (when it’s not even something you actually really like and would wear even when it’s not trendy anymore) is ironically “cheugy” in itself lol Edit: and as a gen z (only a few years from millennial) we are really similar which is why i find this “millennials suck and are uncool” stuff kinda dumb and cringy
you got it in one, a lot of internet discourse going on at the moment (especially on tiktok and twitter) is just plain childish, and imo the echo chamber effect is preventing people from gaining self awareness about this unlike they would if they behaved the same way irl
🎂 i love your positive spin on all of the ' cheugy ' tattoos ! You're so right tattooing is for everybody and these symbols are so popular for a reason ! Another great video cellest as usual!!!! 👏🏼
Yeah and some of those tatts look like there's personal meaning to it. The idea that something meant to stay on the body for forever long can be out of style is beyond me.
As a tattoo artist I can confirm that in the industry we usually dislike very small "generic" tattoos and infinity symbols simply because they are (were) so popular and overdone that we're sick of doing them and looking at them. (There are trends in tattooing like there are trends in fashion and I'm not a fan of either) I personally tattoo only designs in my own style, I don't do scripts, little symbols, little silhouettes of birds etc, BUT I would never tell anyone that their tattoos are "stupid/ugly/cheugy/not cool anymore" because that's just not who I am as a person. You do you and let others get whatever tattoos they want :) Also, bullying someone for tattoos they have - definitely not cool, unnecessary, and just shows you're a dick. It's pretty much always better to say nothing than to say something mean. To the people that created those TikToks: YOUR tattoos might be considered cheugy in 10 years. So what?
I am 65 and have zero tats and back in my day I remember a young girl getting a job as a cashier in a hospital cafeteria where I worked as a 19-year-old being forced to have her tattoo removed as a condition of employment. So, thankfully things have changed. I want a tattoo but because of my many fragrance, dyes, and many, many other allergies (not ER allergies but still require prescription meds sometimes), for my first I think I should stick with tiny and only black ink. I love the color ones but afraid to try for my first. I had a huge weight loss with lots of loose skin so I am limited in location, the back of my shoulder, or back, center of neck.
Thanks for making this video. I've always been fascinated by tattoos, but I was afraid what people would think of me. My parents and my wife and a good chunk of my friends all hate tattoos. When I got my first tattoo, it was huge and badass and traditional style. I like it, but it's not what I truly wanted. I wanted something small and cute. But then I was afraid what other people with tattoos would think of me. I felt the need to prove to everyone that I could sit for a "real" tattoo. The older I get, the more comfortable I become with myself, the less I care about other people, and the more tattoos get, the smaller and cuter, and more colorful they become :D 🎂 Nice to see an open-minded and inclusive video about tattoos to combat the elitism and bravado surrounding some tattoo communities.
I don’t think cheugy should apply to tattoos since they’re permanent. Like... you can’t just take it off like you would an item of clothing just because it’s not “trendy”
I think people criticizing others for what they do with their bodies is cheugy as fuck, and I thought as a society we were trying to get away from that. These people really rubbed me the wrong way. A good part of this really felt like they were kind of afraid of connection and that was possibly why they reacted that strongly to personal tattoo's (especially the last two), and memorabilia tattoos/fan tattoos. Yeah body modification like piercings and tattoos, should be fun and for yourself. Whether they have meaning or not that is up to the person getting it, and it is no one else's business.
I agree with her point that tattoos that are in reference to movies and television are not necessarily about consumption. Like, we all connect with different types of media, and no one media type is more or less about consumption than another. If someone had a tattoo in reference to a painting, or a play, or a piece of literature, no one would connect that tattoo with hyper-consumption. To make that argument about movie references is kind of lacking a bigger perspective.
Thank you SO much for visualizing a chilean tattoo artist, we're hardly recognized for any discipline, so it was very cool to hear it ♡ love your videos
The second guy attacked the fuck out of me lmao. Almost half of my tattoos are pop culture or music related. And my sucky panther tattoo definitely has a date on it bcuz its for my friend who passed
I'm 40 and I have only one small tattoo on my ankle... Really glad that I didn't get it to look cool 😅 Back in college I used to draw a lot of tattoos for my friends and other people too. I also wanted one but wasn't sure what I was ready to commit to. I spent half a year saying I was working on a design for myself but that it was gonna be a surprise... I did drew something but not at all the dragon or any epic fantasy landscape that everyone was expecting! I got a 2" smiling stickman with an oversized head, a square belly and tiny sticks legs done on my ankle Never had so much fun seeing my friends faces and tbh, it still makes me smile even after more than 20 years 😁 So yeah, do what makes you happy cause everything is gonna get outdated at some point anyway right?
Just discovered your channel today and watched through most of your videos already, so i was pretty hyped to see a new one!! Really appreciate your videos and what you communicate in them. 🎂
I am just 4 mins in, but can´t resist typing this. I am SO TIRED of the needless negativity, it drags everyone down. Also, I love your neutrality and positivity. I just felt myself having this bad expression on my face when "Iheartsmosh" was talking, but instantly started smiling when you Celle came back and started talking. No hate or negativity towards "Iheartsmosh", they´re just tiktok-ing and I get it. So absolutely no hate to her. It just goes to show the difference between the two, one who thinks about clicks and trends and fitting in and all that pressure (and I understand that they, in their age are very much under that pressure that we ALL have felt in high school etc), and you Celle who are more grown and understanding, and don´t feel the need to put others down to lift yourself up. Thankyou..
Most of my tattoos are subtle references to the stories I adore from games, movies, books, etc. I personally prefer using vague symbolism to represent their themes (so, stylized skull tattoos if that's relevant, floral symbolism used in them, etc.), but there's also nothing wrong with more overt stuff ofc! I don't see how that's playing into consumerism like the guy said. What's wrong with being touched by the stories people share? With being touched by art? I'm someone who finds my favorite stories extremely comforting, and I know most others do too! So how is it consumerism to want that to be a apart of you forever, to be something you can just glance at and instantly feel happy after doing so? it's a weird argument from him lmao.
I don't have any tattoos, but I really appreciate this channel. It seems these people in the videos have to put down someone to feel good about themselves, which is sad to me. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, I suppose. I appreciate your calm and kind way of being supportive of what kind of art people choose to put on their bodies. Thanks!
My step mom (who is a millenial in her mid/late 30s now) recently got into tattoos because she liked mine. The few ones she got in a short span of time could easily be considered cheugy: zodiac symbols of her children, a blue flower and another zodiac symbol on her ankles, a simple bird on her back etc. She wants to get a lion as well because she's a Leo. I could easily make fun of her but why should I? If I was born when she was I'd probably like similar things, who knows if my tattoos won't be "cheugy" to younger people in 15 years. If she likes them then I'm happy for her.
Depreciating things past generations made popular is a rite of passage for any teenager. It's often how they build part of their identity. There's nothing inherently wrong with that but I'm definitely glad to have grown past that. It's so much less exhausting to just let people like what they like.
My first tattoo is based on a book that's stayed with me since I was a kid, but almost no one has any idea (I've only met one other person who's read the book). To most people, it's just a sun design with a flame in the middle. I love my tattoos, but they're not for anyone's approval. They're all just for me. I can imagine these guys calling my book-tattoo cheugy since sun/moon was pretty trendy for a hot minute, but they don't know what they're talking about.

And you nailed the "consumerism" tattoo as well. Your on point with the difference between having a movie tattoo or an 🍎 symbol. I, at first, couldn't figure out why what he said left me puzzled, then when you made that point I was like, EXACTLY! I really enjoy how balanced your view is on the subjects you cover. Thank you. Refreshing for sure. 🎂
I recently found your channel as I’ve been researching for my first tattoo that I’m getting very soon. really like how sweet and positive you are about tattoos and in general. Its refreshing to hear being on the internet where everyone loves to complain about something 😆
🎂🎂🎂 Currently planning on getting my first tattoo and been binge watching a lot of channels on YT. Yours is definitely one of the best and most chill ones i found. Watched all your videos and hit the bell for future uploads. Keep it up^^
Hi Celle, I just want to tell you I love your videos. I'm not tattooed myself and have learned so much from your channel! I appreciate your inclusive language and empathetic tone. I wish the best in your journey to becoming a tattoo artist!
I also love your positive take on all the criticism and how open-minded, uncritical and respective you are of other people's tattoo choices (except for hate tats of course).
nice talk and good thoughts from your side, and well done to take out arguments about bringing someone down of his/her very personal decision... quite clear if starting about judging tattoos, the step to judge total body due to personal preferences is low. THX Celle! kr
So cute to see 16 years old trying to pose as authority on style, esp in tattoos lmao The point of tattoos is to be permanent, so of course some will go out of style haha 🎂
It's weird to say you hate cheugy stuff, when your whole style is a past trend from the 80's!!! xDDDD She literally looks like one of my class mates back in the days!!!
This seems to me just the updated version of "oh that is so 2000's" which was used as a bit derogative term if you didn't keep up with the trends changing and you were stuck in the trends of that particular period. But in all honestly I never saw that being used on something like tattoos, clothing, make up or hair styles sure, but never for tattoos. Interesting because for me, there was never a thing with any of the styles as "uncool", max not to my preference, example my friend LOVES - from my point of view - darker and moodier tattoos, usually in black only, or max mixed with red. I on the other had LOVE the look of colourfull, bright, fun looking tattoos - watercolor and such - and I say look of them, because I never had a tattoo before, I always loved how they looked, but I guess I never saw any tattooers style truly close to my heart, until now that is, getting my very first tattoo in this autumn if all goes well :) And I am soooooo excited for it, her style is exactly how I want it to be done, she is doing an original design currently for me and I cannot wait to see the end results, she is truly talented so I have 0 fear of not getting an awesome looking piece. (I don't care that watercolor is no longer viewed as "trendy" since I did not want to get a "trendy" tattoo, I wanted to get one that when I would see the first time in the mirror I would squeek from excitement, and watercolor is like that for me, I was already prepared by my friend who has multiple tattoos what to expect in terms of maintenance so I would have realistic expectations in terms of fading and so, and yes, also I am getting a smaller piece, not sure yet if I will get more - the idea what I have currently is - which I told the artist - that the piece should work as a standalone piece but if I decide that I want to add more elements I can build from it)
Same lol. I don't have tiktok, so I guess I'm just super out of the loop? But then again, I haven't even heard any of my friends that use tiktok say it so idk
There is a reason some tattoos are popular. The same thing happens with food, fashion, tourist destination, Instagram pose,s etc. GenZ creates a trend, then calls out themselves. Good for them.
Generational tension is stupid we all live on this planet and regardless of age we are all idiots who will think we are right the majority of the time, don't separate yourself from a different age group or think your better than another I'm generation z and don't really think that should decide how I interact with people and am perceived. I might have the typical Gen Z attitude but damn this whole generation things has gone to far.
so glad i grew up just before trend culture got soooo harsh. like its crazy to say things go out of style in less than 5 years and youre 'cheugy' for wearing em. youll pry me out of the jeans and boots i wore in high school when they finally fall apart beyond repair. and even then those jeans will likely become jorts.
You are so SWEET! From the title i thought you would shit on tattoos but im new to your channel and definitely a new subscriber. I think cheugy is a word that can easily be used to put down others for their interests and give unsolicited opinions.
Kids criticizing other people's tattoos is "cheugy". Also, "cheugy" sounds like "chubby" to me, I can't take someone serious like that if they try to criticize others but use THAT word 😳 Btw, I love your videos, you're so sweet ❤
Oh the coining of new words that don't mean anything! I didn't know the meaning of cheugy until now. So thank you. I stopped caring about people's opinions about me, negative or otherwise, awhile ago. But not everyone is at that place. Live and let live folks!
🎂🎂🎂 I am 33 years old and planning on getting my first tattoo this year. I’ll be damned if I let some random kids on Tiktok tell me what is cool or not 🙄
By that logic, since tattoos are permanent, and trends are not, then ALL tattoos will eventually be "cheugy." Who cares if a tattoo is on trend or not? There's nothing wrong with getting what you want on your body. Thank you for making this video! Calling a tattoo cheugy is just silly! (Btw, you're right, getting matching tattoos is cute, but getting your partner's name is a terrible idea!)
I have zero tattoos but considering one. Happy I got recommended on this video. I think you have a very balanced perspective. A cheugy person's money is as good as an Alternative culture person. I bet no tattoo artist is going to reject a millennial getting an infinity sign.🎂
Not sure why tattoos have to be 'cool', or 'cheugy', or even have meanings, If you're happy with what you have thats the important part. I feel shaming people on the tattoos they have little to no purpose. Love your take on this, can't wait for the next one! 🎂
I totally agree !!
I'm a tattoo artist and i approve.
maybe so but a tattoo artist saying all these tats are fine is like a a clothes salesperson saying everything you try on looks good on you
But eventually you are going to stop being happy about your 90's tribal tramp stamp or your 2000's emo stars or your 2010s low poly deer.

I know that first tiktok vid of the girl calling all the tattoos cheugy was meant to be a joke but she comes off so salty about other people just existing 😂
I definitely thought she was just being mean tbh
Are they meant to be a joke ?
@@loganplonski922 It seemed like she was just being judgy and trying to justify it by saying "I'm joking!"
I thought gen z was supposed to be about self expression... Not gate keeping every little thing.
We experienced this when 90s tattoos (like tribal and lower back tattoos) went from "Urgh, so 90s" to "Aw, so 90s!"
Ok , no one has the right to judge anyone, as a tattoo artist , people get what they like, the guy saying stars symbols weren't a personality trait neither is the Batman symbol on the inside of his bicep. That's no different.
I can judge anyone and I do so automatically.
@@katik4208 doesn't make it right
People who are using cheugy in their daily life is definitely cheugy 🤣🤣🤣
YES
Fact!
i hate how the word cheugy sounds like it elicits a visceral reaction from me. kinda like how some people hate the word moist😂 also, i’d love to hear you talk about blast over tattoos! 🎂
Yess I love blast overs I’ll look into that thanks for the suggestion !!
This is the first video I've watched of yours. I rarely comment on videos, but I just wanted to say I appreciate how kind and non-judgemental you are! I sometimes get insecure about my tattoos, because of some judgemental messages by other tattood people on the internet. You are a breath of fresh air! Subscribed!
Wow that’s great to hear thank you I really appreciate that 🤗🤗
I feel like the only time you should “bully” someone for their tattoos is if they plagiarized someone else’s work 🎂
every tattoo you see is a copy of someone else's design they have taken from just because ya add a flower doesn't make it different.
Lol but that happens mostly because they just started collecting and didn't know about etiquette. Also it's pretty damn hard to find an artist, who does his own designs. For my copied tattoo I wanted him to create something new, but he asked for reference and just copied one of it the day of the appointment. I thought that this was how it goes and now I have a copied tattoo. It's okay since I don't post it online or meet the person with the original by any chance
Also my tattoo has shading instead of dotwork and has another placement.
@@katik4208 I’m sure there are others who were just ignorant but I’ve seen too many people not seeing an issue with tattoo copying even after having it nicely explained to them. And I’m sorry for your experience; that’s definitely on the tattoo artist but if you do your research it’s really not hard to find artists who do their own designs. Reputable artists are completely against tattoo copying. Or idk maybe the area you’re in just doesn’t have a great selection of artists
@@nottogood415 at this point there really is no such thing as an “original idea” but inspiration is different from blatant plagiarism. If enough elements are changed, I think it’s fine. Then again, that is also arbitrary. But some stuff are just so blatantly plagiarized, I feel like those should be called out. I do agree that with some stuff there’s not much you can do to try and “change” the designs esp if they’re popular designs
@@Minaaamii the one you are saying got plagiarized literally took it from somewhere else so they did the same.
That was the nicest "clap back" video i've ever seen ;) 🎂
Hahaha thanks Andrew !!
Cheugy is just a disgusting word. People shouldn't care so much about others, if you think I have a tattoo that's 'cheugy' then you're just sad, if I had it done then I'd most likely enjoy my tattoo and no offense but I don't need some pre-teen high school kid telling me that 🤣
I just can't take seriously anyone who refers to anything as "cheugy".
Each generation hates on every other generation lol. With that said I’ve met so many awesome people from boomers to gen z and so on! 🎂
Yess same! I agree
As a millennial I just love gen z. These people are the best
Nahh as a gen z I had never heard chuegy used before until i saw a buzzfeed article of millennials complaining about it. I promise you late teens/early 20s kids do not hate skinny jeans, pinterest tattoos, or other FADs that were trendy 5-10 years ago. Style changes overtime but it doesn’t have to dictate anyone’s personal choices, if someone enjoys a dated or explored trend then I just like to say they’re ahead of the curve for when it comes back in style 😄🎂
I hoenstly think that all those new trends are just a tiktok thing, I'm 21 and have 0 idea of most of that stuff, not even my younger sibling knows that stuff. Skinny Jeans are great hoenstly idk what's wrong about them.
Imo it's just a group of teens that want to be cool/different/special and those adults in the two tiktoks just seem desperate to be cool.
No normal teen hates on that stuff. It's just tiktok people wanting to be controversial and gain views and attention.
Kids ten years from now will be making videos on the next cool app saying that small butterflies, small snakes and gothic font script are the equivalent of cheugy in ten yars from now slang. Just let people get whatever they want and mind your business.
As the older generation feel tattoos are a taboo, a younger generations find some of them cheugy… It’s a good thing it’s something we do for ourselves and we don’t really care about their opinions anyway 🎂
Thank you for talking about this! Definitely never heard that word before. As a tattooer I try and respect everyone’s vision, tattoos are for everyone +18 and people are so different. It’s the tattooers job to do the best they can to make someone go home happy and confident. Earlier this week I tattooed my younger sister. It was something small and dinky on her ankle I made fun of her a-little told her it was lame but she really wanted it. Made her promise me to let me cover it in the future when she decides to get something “cool”. 🎂
sweet story :)
Cheugy/uncool is so highschool. I thought we were past this in 2021, letting people wear what they want and what they think is pretty. The idea of letting what is considered cool control what tattoos you get and what you wear (when it’s not even something you actually really like and would wear even when it’s not trendy anymore) is ironically “cheugy” in itself lol
Edit: and as a gen z (only a few years from millennial) we are really similar which is why i find this “millennials suck and are uncool” stuff kinda dumb and cringy
you got it in one, a lot of internet discourse going on at the moment (especially on tiktok and twitter) is just plain childish, and imo the echo chamber effect is preventing people from gaining self awareness about this unlike they would if they behaved the same way irl
right like if it was invented by a highschool student maybe thats a sign that adults shouldnt be participating / indulging in it
Cheugy definition: opposite of trendy.... And its trendy to use it... Irony?🎂
Yess lol that’s what I thought !
🎂 i love your positive spin on all of the ' cheugy ' tattoos ! You're so right tattooing is for everybody and these symbols are so popular for a reason ! Another great video cellest as usual!!!! 👏🏼
Yeah and some of those tatts look like there's personal meaning to it. The idea that something meant to stay on the body for forever long can be out of style is beyond me.
cartoon characters were one of the very first tattoo ideas amongst sailors ect they’re timeless!!!
The irony of her calling stuff lame and out of date when her whole style is based in another decade
She will describe this word years later from this video
As a tattoo artist I can confirm that in the industry we usually dislike very small "generic" tattoos and infinity symbols simply because they are (were) so popular and overdone that we're sick of doing them and looking at them. (There are trends in tattooing like there are trends in fashion and I'm not a fan of either) I personally tattoo only designs in my own style, I don't do scripts, little symbols, little silhouettes of birds etc, BUT I would never tell anyone that their tattoos are "stupid/ugly/cheugy/not cool anymore" because that's just not who I am as a person. You do you and let others get whatever tattoos they want :)
Also, bullying someone for tattoos they have - definitely not cool, unnecessary, and just shows you're a dick. It's pretty much always better to say nothing than to say something mean. To the people that created those TikToks: YOUR tattoos might be considered cheugy in 10 years. So what?
I am 65 and have zero tats and back in my day I remember a young girl getting a job as a cashier in a hospital cafeteria where I worked as a 19-year-old being forced to have her tattoo removed as a condition of employment. So, thankfully things have changed. I want a tattoo but because of my many fragrance, dyes, and many, many other allergies (not ER allergies but still require prescription meds sometimes), for my first I think I should stick with tiny and only black ink. I love the color ones but afraid to try for my first. I had a huge weight loss with lots of loose skin so I am limited in location, the back of my shoulder, or back, center of neck.
I appreciate your calm-as-ever, level headed takes!
Thanks for making this video. I've always been fascinated by tattoos, but I was afraid what people would think of me. My parents and my wife and a good chunk of my friends all hate tattoos. When I got my first tattoo, it was huge and badass and traditional style. I like it, but it's not what I truly wanted. I wanted something small and cute. But then I was afraid what other people with tattoos would think of me. I felt the need to prove to everyone that I could sit for a "real" tattoo. The older I get, the more comfortable I become with myself, the less I care about other people, and the more tattoos get, the smaller and cuter, and more colorful they become :D 🎂
Nice to see an open-minded and inclusive video about tattoos to combat the elitism and bravado surrounding some tattoo communities.
I don’t think cheugy should apply to tattoos since they’re permanent. Like... you can’t just take it off like you would an item of clothing just because it’s not “trendy”
I think people criticizing others for what they do with their bodies is cheugy as fuck, and I thought as a society we were trying to get away from that. These people really rubbed me the wrong way. A good part of this really felt like they were kind of afraid of connection and that was possibly why they reacted that strongly to personal tattoo's (especially the last two), and memorabilia tattoos/fan tattoos. Yeah body modification like piercings and tattoos, should be fun and for yourself. Whether they have meaning or not that is up to the person getting it, and it is no one else's business.
Using a word as lame as cheugy is, in fact, cheugy. Ridiculous 🎂
You're so gentle and kind. I love it! Great video 💕
I agree with her point that tattoos that are in reference to movies and television are not necessarily about consumption. Like, we all connect with different types of media, and no one media type is more or less about consumption than another. If someone had a tattoo in reference to a painting, or a play, or a piece of literature, no one would connect that tattoo with hyper-consumption. To make that argument about movie references is kind of lacking a bigger perspective.
let people enjoy things. if it's not on your body why do you care?
thanks, celle est, for being so positive in your video!🎂
i just wanna say your nails are POPPING in this video haha love them! 🎂
haha thank you!!
Thank you SO much for visualizing a chilean tattoo artist, we're hardly recognized for any discipline, so it was very cool to hear it ♡ love your videos
I don’t even have any tattoos but I’ve watched like all your vids💀
I love that! :)) Thanks for watching
@@celle_tattooHey! for sure I appreciate tattoos but just can never commit 🎂
I love how you are both critical of things and also so kind and patient! It's such a breath of fresh air
The first Disney tattoo was really cool, first time I ever seen something like that💯/💯
The second guy attacked the fuck out of me lmao. Almost half of my tattoos are pop culture or music related. And my sucky panther tattoo definitely has a date on it bcuz its for my friend who passed
🎂 oh I mean I love my chougy tats and will continue to do what I love with my body 🥰 loved to hear your take on these haters.
Period sis ! We don’t need Tiktok gatekeeping
I'm 40 and I have only one small tattoo on my ankle... Really glad that I didn't get it to look cool 😅
Back in college I used to draw a lot of tattoos for my friends and other people too.
I also wanted one but wasn't sure what I was ready to commit to.
I spent half a year saying I was working on a design for myself but that it was gonna be a surprise...
I did drew something but not at all the dragon or any epic fantasy landscape that everyone was expecting!
I got a 2" smiling stickman with an oversized head, a square belly and tiny sticks legs done on my ankle
Never had so much fun seeing my friends faces and tbh, it still makes me smile even after more than 20 years 😁
So yeah, do what makes you happy cause everything is gonna get outdated at some point anyway right?
So grateful always for you kindness and positivity, Celle!
Just discovered your channel today and watched through most of your videos already, so i was pretty hyped to see a new one!! Really appreciate your videos and what you communicate in them. 🎂
Wow thank you so much 🤗🤗
I love how she just says her opinion without being mean. I think everybody should do that
I am just 4 mins in, but can´t resist typing this. I am SO TIRED of the needless negativity, it drags everyone down. Also, I love your neutrality and positivity. I just felt myself having this bad expression on my face when "Iheartsmosh" was talking, but instantly started smiling when you Celle came back and started talking. No hate or negativity towards "Iheartsmosh", they´re just tiktok-ing and I get it. So absolutely no hate to her. It just goes to show the difference between the two, one who thinks about clicks and trends and fitting in and all that pressure (and I understand that they, in their age are very much under that pressure that we ALL have felt in high school etc), and you Celle who are more grown and understanding, and don´t feel the need to put others down to lift yourself up. Thankyou..
Most of my tattoos are subtle references to the stories I adore from games, movies, books, etc. I personally prefer using vague symbolism to represent their themes (so, stylized skull tattoos if that's relevant, floral symbolism used in them, etc.), but there's also nothing wrong with more overt stuff ofc!
I don't see how that's playing into consumerism like the guy said. What's wrong with being touched by the stories people share? With being touched by art? I'm someone who finds my favorite stories extremely comforting, and I know most others do too! So how is it consumerism to want that to be a apart of you forever, to be something you can just glance at and instantly feel happy after doing so? it's a weird argument from him lmao.
I don't have any tattoos, but I really appreciate this channel. It seems these people in the videos have to put down someone to feel good about themselves, which is sad to me. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, I suppose. I appreciate your calm and kind way of being supportive of what kind of art people choose to put on their bodies. Thanks!
🤪
My step mom (who is a millenial in her mid/late 30s now) recently got into tattoos because she liked mine. The few ones she got in a short span of time could easily be considered cheugy: zodiac symbols of her children, a blue flower and another zodiac symbol on her ankles, a simple bird on her back etc. She wants to get a lion as well because she's a Leo. I could easily make fun of her but why should I? If I was born when she was I'd probably like similar things, who knows if my tattoos won't be "cheugy" to younger people in 15 years. If she likes them then I'm happy for her.
the guy talked about the star wars tattoo while also having a star wars tattoo, make it make sense
Loving how early I am, and LOVING this video so far!
haha thank you so much!! 💃🤗
Depreciating things past generations made popular is a rite of passage for any teenager. It's often how they build part of their identity. There's nothing inherently wrong with that but I'm definitely glad to have grown past that. It's so much less exhausting to just let people like what they like.
My first tattoo is based on a book that's stayed with me since I was a kid, but almost no one has any idea (I've only met one other person who's read the book). To most people, it's just a sun design with a flame in the middle.
I love my tattoos, but they're not for anyone's approval. They're all just for me. I can imagine these guys calling my book-tattoo cheugy since sun/moon was pretty trendy for a hot minute, but they don't know what they're talking about.
What book is it based on?
@@abbyryan7410 Winter of Fire, a YA post-apocalyptic book I got from a scholastic book fair years ago. It's out of print now, but Sheryl Jordan is the author.
And you nailed the "consumerism" tattoo as well. Your on point with the difference between having a movie tattoo or an 🍎 symbol. I, at first, couldn't figure out why what he said left me puzzled, then when you made that point I was like, EXACTLY! I really enjoy how balanced your view is on the subjects you cover. Thank you. Refreshing for sure. 🎂
I recently found your channel as I’ve been researching for my first tattoo that I’m getting very soon. really like how sweet and positive you are about tattoos and in general. Its refreshing to hear being on the internet where everyone loves to complain about something 😆
I love your energy, it's so calm, relaxing and like... accepting? Your videos are a pleasure to watch!!
I love your positive and inclusive attitude towards tattoos. I totally agree. If you love it, that is all that matters 🎂
🎂 I love how calmly you present the topics and your opinions on them always it gives me good energy and helps me rest my mind
Absolutely love this video! Such a kind energy, especially when some parts of the tattoo community are so gatekeepy🎂
🎂🎂🎂
Currently planning on getting my first tattoo and been binge watching a lot of channels on YT. Yours is definitely one of the best and most chill ones i found. Watched all your videos and hit the bell for future uploads.
Keep it up^^
Hi Celle, I just want to tell you I love your videos. I'm not tattooed myself and have learned so much from your channel! I appreciate your inclusive language and empathetic tone. I wish the best in your journey to becoming a tattoo artist!
Nothing more cheugy than caring about whether teenagers think you're cool, in my humble opinion 🎂
I also love your positive take on all the criticism and how open-minded, uncritical and respective you are of other people's tattoo choices (except for hate tats of course).
nice talk and good thoughts from your side, and well done to take out arguments about bringing someone down of his/her very personal decision... quite clear if starting about judging tattoos, the step to judge total body due to personal preferences is low. THX Celle! kr
I have Super Mario tattoos in my mid 30's. I am cheugy AF, I don't care. 🎂
So cute to see 16 years old trying to pose as authority on style, esp in tattoos lmao
The point of tattoos is to be permanent, so of course some will go out of style haha 🎂
This video is cheugy, but only because you have these folks a platform. You wrapped it up well with the ‘dance like nobody’s watching’ take 🎂
It's weird to say you hate cheugy stuff, when your whole style is a past trend from the 80's!!! xDDDD
She literally looks like one of my class mates back in the days!!!
This seems to me just the updated version of "oh that is so 2000's" which was used as a bit derogative term if you didn't keep up with the trends changing and you were stuck in the trends of that particular period. But in all honestly I never saw that being used on something like tattoos, clothing, make up or hair styles sure, but never for tattoos. Interesting because for me, there was never a thing with any of the styles as "uncool", max not to my preference, example my friend LOVES - from my point of view - darker and moodier tattoos, usually in black only, or max mixed with red. I on the other had LOVE the look of colourfull, bright, fun looking tattoos - watercolor and such - and I say look of them, because I never had a tattoo before, I always loved how they looked, but I guess I never saw any tattooers style truly close to my heart, until now that is, getting my very first tattoo in this autumn if all goes well :) And I am soooooo excited for it, her style is exactly how I want it to be done, she is doing an original design currently for me and I cannot wait to see the end results, she is truly talented so I have 0 fear of not getting an awesome looking piece. (I don't care that watercolor is no longer viewed as "trendy" since I did not want to get a "trendy" tattoo, I wanted to get one that when I would see the first time in the mirror I would squeek from excitement, and watercolor is like that for me, I was already prepared by my friend who has multiple tattoos what to expect in terms of maintenance so I would have realistic expectations in terms of fading and so, and yes, also I am getting a smaller piece, not sure yet if I will get more - the idea what I have currently is - which I told the artist - that the piece should work as a standalone piece but if I decide that I want to add more elements I can build from it)
Okay, but as a zoomer, this is the first time I see this word and have never seen anyone use it
Same lol. I don't have tiktok, so I guess I'm just super out of the loop? But then again, I haven't even heard any of my friends that use tiktok say it so idk
this might be the kindness, well polite person i ever seen on TH-cam 🎂
There is a reason some tattoos are popular. The same thing happens with food, fashion, tourist destination, Instagram pose,s etc. GenZ creates a trend, then calls out themselves. Good for them.
Generational tension is stupid we all live on this planet and regardless of age we are all idiots who will think we are right the majority of the time, don't separate yourself from a different age group or think your better than another I'm generation z and don't really think that should decide how I interact with people and am perceived. I might have the typical Gen Z attitude but damn this whole generation things has gone to far.
so glad i grew up just before trend culture got soooo harsh. like its crazy to say things go out of style in less than 5 years and youre 'cheugy' for wearing em. youll pry me out of the jeans and boots i wore in high school when they finally fall apart beyond repair. and even then those jeans will likely become jorts.
You are so SWEET! From the title i thought you would shit on tattoos but im new to your channel and definitely a new subscriber. I think cheugy is a word that can easily be used to put down others for their interests and give unsolicited opinions.

This is exactly what i needed to hear today. Thank you! 🎂
Kids criticizing other people's tattoos is "cheugy".
Also, "cheugy" sounds like "chubby" to me, I can't take someone serious like that if they try to criticize others but use THAT word 😳
Btw, I love your videos, you're so sweet ❤
Chubby is a normal word wtf? Get over yourself.
@@katik4208 I should've say English isn't my first language actually, so it sounds funny to me.
Also, why are you so mad? Are you okay?
@@katik4208 Like, I didn't say it wasn't or anything bad at all.
Her voice is soo soothing and i love her
Calling something cheugy is cheugy. It's a damaging and cringe term. Let's all just be nice y'all.
I knew chuegy was going to be a troll word.
Oh the coining of new words that don't mean anything! I didn't know the meaning of cheugy until now. So thank you. I stopped caring about people's opinions about me, negative or otherwise, awhile ago. But not everyone is at that place. Live and let live folks!
Imagine thinking complete strangers owe YOU explanations about what they put on THEIR bodies. Ew.
The boomer vibe is real with those two.
I couldn't agree more on what you said at the end !
People judging tattoos are the most cheugy ones.
🎂🎂🎂 I am 33 years old and planning on getting my first tattoo this year. I’ll be damned if I let some random kids on Tiktok tell me what is cool or not 🙄
By that logic, since tattoos are permanent, and trends are not, then ALL tattoos will eventually be "cheugy." Who cares if a tattoo is on trend or not? There's nothing wrong with getting what you want on your body. Thank you for making this video! Calling a tattoo cheugy is just silly! (Btw, you're right, getting matching tattoos is cute, but getting your partner's name is a terrible idea!)
I love how sweet and non-judgmental you are, always :))
Ahhh she’s so wholesome 🐈
You mean Olive ?? 😋
@@celle_tattoo I mean her soul mate 😎
I'm old... just learned this new term. At the end of the day, tattoos are for yourself. Great vid
I love your kindness, your content is so well-made, I love your haircut, I think I'm in love with you.
I have zero tattoos but considering one. Happy I got recommended on this video. I think you have a very balanced perspective. A cheugy person's money is as good as an Alternative culture person. I bet no tattoo artist is going to reject a millennial getting an infinity sign.🎂
🦋 Loving your videos girl. As a young tattoo artist new to the industry I find them very informative and interesting. 🌼 🎂
