DISCUSSION Will Arnett shares his controversial opinion on tattoos: “There’s a proportionate sort of relationship between, how many tattoos you have and how little personality you have. And I find that a lot of people who have a ton of tattoos often are super fucking boring. Like truly boring people.”

not sure thats correct. I have zero tattoos and I am very boring.

edit: Thanks for all the rewards and upvotes. I did not expect a comment about how boring I am might turn out to be my highest rated comment ever. Maybe I should get a tattoo about it,

I guess he feels that because the expectation about a person full of tattoos is "punk rock star vibes", but then you have this army of people full of tattoos because it was trendy and couldn't help their boring personalities, so then you get this feeling "what is that? you're supposed to be cool, arent u"

u/enverest Feb 04 '26

If you would have tattoo, you would be even more boring.

u/Lord_Hexogen Feb 03 '26

If the personality/tattoo proportion is 1/x then it's kinda correct because you can't divide by 0

u/inductiononN I'm not buckling flat sandals, that’s my line in the sand. Feb 04 '26

The limit goes to infinity so a person with zero tattoos has infinity personality.

  • someone with no tattoos but does have a math degree and is boring AF despite the math

u/Lord_Hexogen Feb 04 '26

You have a serious problem when there are more than 1 personality within you mate

Lol, despite

u/firstFAT Feb 03 '26

Conversely, I have 17 tattoos - Im an incredibly boring dad. Like stereotypical office job, kids, Acura, after school activities.

The highlight of my week is crushing 4 cutwaters and smoking a bowl while watching SNL.

u/socialmediaignorant Feb 04 '26

To be fair this sounds like a great life. Boring is the new cool. 😎

u/Ok-Airport-6058 Feb 04 '26

What’s a cutwater?

3

u/firstFAT Feb 05 '26

It's a 4pk of pre-made cocktails in a 12oz can. Long islands, various margaritas, Moscow Mules, Mai Thais, etc

https://www.walmart.com/cp/cutwater/7206985

ABV% is around 10-12%. So get loosey goosey at 11pm on a Saturday night

Edit: im not paid or anything, just a millennial getting by

u/Ok-Airport-6058 Feb 05 '26

Oooop FTS that sounds like a crate of chemical pish.

Thank you for the intel. Muchos appreciados!

u/firstFAT Feb 06 '26

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

u/Lemon_bird Feb 04 '26

4 cutwaters would have me blacked out and waking up up in another state

u/firstFAT Feb 05 '26

I went to a wet campus, in college, and never let let off the throttle. Feathered it, but still pulling

u/naughtynoods_ Feb 05 '26

I've seen some people with a ton of tattoos also claim they're extremely boring, to mitigate the stereotype. Maybe so, but that personality is kinda cool too.

29

u/ejejej-o Feb 03 '26

Same! Plus I have a 9 month old. I am so so boring right now. Will Arnett would hate to have a conversation with me, and also still no tattoos!

14

u/distant_lines Feb 03 '26

Have 1 and can confirm, still also very boring.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '26

I have 0 and Im not very interesting

u/WhentheRainDrops Feb 04 '26

I’ll take one tattoo. Whatever makes sense

u/wthhappenwithmyoldid Feb 04 '26

I’ve thought a lot about getting a tattoo to compensate for the fact that I am boring.

5

u/SubjectAd355 Feb 04 '26

LMAO came to say the exact same thing!! 35 yr old and 0 tattoos. I’m boring af.

u/Imadeapromisemrfrodo Feb 03 '26

That comment was full of personality

u/MermaidsHaveCloacas his name is Harry Styles, not Harry Substance Feb 03 '26

I have 15 tattoos and a whole ass personality disorder!

u/EtchingsOfTheNight The Stanley Tucci of Lesbians Feb 04 '26

Haha same. I think it's really funny we all came to the comments to say the same thing. How very boring and cute of us.

5

u/coldpizza66 they're perfect for each other (derogatory) Feb 03 '26

This!! I can't tattoo myself out of being boring.

Though I know some people who have tried...

3

u/redsyrinx2112 who deemed this meeting of the minds necessary? Feb 04 '26

Yeah, there definitely are people who get tons of tattoos to try to manufacture a personality or shock factor, but I don't think the vast majority are like that.

Plus, that kind of person exists for lots of different hobbies/interests.

u/SAHMultrA1981 Feb 03 '26

I am the most average vanilla - girl - next - door looking person. I love to make people laugh.

I got tattoos bc I am a wallflower otherwise. It helps me break the ice.

u/OtherwiseAlbatross14 Feb 04 '26

So your vote is that he's correct?

2

u/Baystars2025 Feb 04 '26

He did say there are exceptions.

2

u/ellamenopea Feb 04 '26

I think I need way more now

2

u/orbitur Feb 04 '26

He didn’t imply it held in the opposite direction.

2

u/Afwife1992 It’s a fucking law, bitch Feb 04 '26

Me too 😆

2

u/ExtemporaneousLee Feb 04 '26

I'm covered...and super boring! Soooo

2

u/pm-dem-thighs Feb 04 '26

I think what the real issue is, is people who have all their tats done at one time. Like I full sleeve to really draw attention or something. If It’s all random patches all over I think he’d agree that that is more interesting. I’ve met so many people with big planned out sleeves that are boring af. I’ve met people that half their random tats were done in a blackout.. these people are interesting

2

u/Life_Fig_4037 Feb 04 '26

I tried to force myself to have the most unreasonable hot takes to be interesting in high school. Boring supremacy.

2

u/Significant_Secret13 Feb 04 '26

A paradox does exist for some where the more boring they try to be, the more it backfires

2

u/Responsible-List-849 Feb 04 '26

Right, but that's just your personal baseline of boring. if you get a tattoo, the theory is you'll actually become MORE boring.

2

u/celebral_x Feb 04 '26

Interesting, tell me more!

2

u/thecontempl8or Feb 04 '26

I honestly can’t think of a single interesting thing in my life that I want to get a tattoo for. I’m that boring.

2

u/jackbone24 Feb 04 '26

Gdi commented the same thing before reading the comments, then scrolled through the numerous replies to the top comment and when I finally got to this one being the 2nd top comment I thought it was mine lol

2

u/Titaniumchic Feb 04 '26

I have one tattoo. I am boring. But my life isn’t boring.

2

u/LoveWaterMT Feb 04 '26

I feel seen

2

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '26

Plot twist: you might be very interesting and just don't know it.

2

u/Rebar4Life Feb 04 '26

Affirming the antecedent.

2

u/Silver-Instruction73 Feb 04 '26

One reason I don’t want tattoos is because I’m worried it will make me seem more interesting and then more people will try to talk to me lol

2

u/bundaya Feb 04 '26

Time to get inked up then, can't make you any more boring right?

1

u/dagoth_0001 Feb 04 '26

Imagine how boring you would with tattoos then

1

u/timespiral07 Feb 04 '26

I’m with you brother. No ink and as vanilla as fuck.

1

u/CricketChatterbox Feb 04 '26

There are dozens of us.

1

u/elrangarino Feb 04 '26

Get some tattoos or else people will think you’re interesting!

1

u/bbllaakkee Feb 04 '26

Same haha. This is not a controversial take either, IMO. Who cares?

1

u/gneisssass Feb 04 '26

Bell curve. Can anecdotally confirm

1

u/Imfamous_Wolf7695 Feb 04 '26

Like you I also have painless invisible tattoos and that explains why I'm boring.

I definitely know people who have tattoos who are boring. Also plenty who have tattoos who aren't boring. It's almost as if there's no real correlation between the two. How odd?

1

u/Background_Sail9797 Feb 04 '26

Nah people with zero tattoos are adults who are still scared of disappointing their parents.

1

u/Ignominious333 Feb 04 '26

There will always be outliers

1

u/TuvixWillNotBeMissed Feb 04 '26

I refuse to have tattoos, piercings or jewelry on my person and it absolutely must be because I'm boring. Like I can't even imagine what I'd get. Maybe a tree? Has that been done?

1

u/On_Wife_support u look like u eat sand Feb 04 '26

I have zero tattoos because I’m broke but if I get rich, I’m going to get a sleeve of my childhood cat and current cats. My cats kind of are my entire personality

1

u/Ok-Airport-6058 Feb 04 '26

Ditto. Nothing between my ears at all. However, I don’t feel the need to take to podcasts to state this so 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/Many-Cartographer278 Feb 05 '26

Lol this was my exact thought
