My Asian-American classmate told me that do I like tattoos. I answered him that I like tattoos. So he showed me some of his favorite tattoos pictures on Internet. Most of them are Yakuza/ Asian tattoo such as Dragon, Tiger, ...I showed him my favorite tattoos pictures. Most of them are Viking, Celtic, Lord of the Rings themed tattoos.My classmate said that my favorite tattoos pictures are just looking good on White people, and looking not good on Asian people.He encourage me to get Asian themed tattoos instead of European tattoos.Should I get Gnome/ Dwarf tattoo ?If an Asian man have Gnome/ Dwarf tattoo. Does he look silly ?
