@humanslopp@Okabe_Rintar0IF Most people don't regret getting a tattoo. Actually, haven't met any that do, as long as it's not on the neck or face which are kind of a fuck up tbh. Personally, I certainly don't regret mine and I'm planning to have 2 more to seal the deal
@c30ff8@Okabe_Rintar0IF That's a fair point. I do have certain disdain for boring tattoos. I have two, the Horde crest and a sun dedicated to my first-born daughter's name, they have a meaning. Fucking butterflies, lines and shit are boring and stupid
@Nice37294593@Okabe_Rintar0IF Biology never needed sugars, spices, condiments, wines, coffee, tea, perfumes. Is that really the point you want to make?
@_MisterGrimm@Okabe_Rintar0IF That's what I mean, subjectivism. That's what *you* as a person see. And thats factually wrong and contradictory. Isn't choosing to have a tattoo go against society's judgement? Tattoos are a decision to begin with; Would you say that to George Orwell? Knowing what his books are
@1niquity_@Okabe_Rintar0IF Tattoos exist from centuries ago and have always been associated with self-expression and autonomy. What you describe is a cultural shift but the basic is still there. George Orwell had things about spiritual shield and such, and Roosevelt tattooed his family's shield
@iankandzior98@Okabe_Rintar0IF Proving my point on subjective hate. You just don't like tattoos, and that's fine; most people just don't care about or outright like them But you're stating your own opinion as a fact
@PicaroonCBoodle@Okabe_Rintar0IF If that's the way they express themselves then it's fine even it those are ugly and boring ass tattoos. Don't get me wrong, bad tattoos do exist, but that's a problem with the users not exactly the tattoos themselves
@BeatTheLoops@Okabe_Rintar0IF Then that's just your own experience. I mean kings and viking leaders had them, it's cultural. And ofc you know individuals that have and they're not "low class". Winston Churchill had tattoos, Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn in LOTR) has tattoos, even Bryan Cranston
@slimylobster_ft@Okabe_Rintar0IF Just proving my point on subjective hate. You don't like them and that's fine, doesn't mean tattoos are generally the worst thing in the world, you just don't like them
@Okabe_Rintar0IF Most people get them as a form of self-expression, by far. And yes, it's a cultural thing, not exactly "conformity". Like you and me, who watch anime or read manga and look at our own profile pictures. Is your profile picture a sign of expression or conformity?
@CJTHENORTH@Okabe_Rintar0IF But that's an issue with the users, not the tattoos. Like alcohol, any top 10 most wanted list consume alcohol or smoke cigarettes but doesn't mean people who consume alcohol or smoke are criminals
