“Do you think my tattoo is cool?” No, I don’t. There are no cool tattoos. “Check out my sleeve!” Oh god ew.

Tattoos themselves are stupid. Doubly so if it’s some media IP. “I put Batman on my body!” “Look at this image of Goku on my calf!” I can’t think of many things I’d want to do less than that.

There are a few narrow exceptions. Chances are yours isn’t one of them.

If you personally like tattoos, fine. I’m not saying nobody should get tattoos because I don’t like them. I’m stating my opinion that tattoos are stupid, and I am stating it here because it is probably not a popular opinion.

    Yes yes, we all know that business puts profits over people.

    Fuck business and fuck anyone who argues for acting in its favor.

      As much as I don’t like capitalism, it’s not the job of businesses to coddle people who made bad life choices.

        Fuck that bullshit excuse.

        Why is it “a bad life decision” if not because jobs discriminate about a little body art? Having visible tattoos hurts no one. Why do we have to cater to the closed-minded bigots by having society structured to discriminate against people that they don’t want to look at? It’s entirely because of capitalism that it’s a company’s “job” to care more about their profits than the people that make those profits. Any excuse to socially justify that is bullshit.

          A lot of the reasons why tattoos are a bad life decision are listed in this thread. That’s the point. Everyone wants to do what he wants, but nobody wants to bear the consequences. I hate capitalism, but it is not capitalisms fault that someone got a tattoo.

            No one ever said it’s capitalism’s fault they got a tattoo. It is however capitalism’s fault that someone getting a tattoo is considered a “bad idea” as explained above.

            There are no legitimate reasons why tattoos should be considered a bad idea. None. Absolutely zero.
