Tattoos can be beautiful art, they can be tacky faded reminders of youth, they can be squiggly line art done with shampoo for ink from your stint in prison. They are personal and invite speculation about their meaning and origin. They are conversation starters. They are never in indication of "that type of person", like not for the past 20 years at least. I mean, if "that type of person" is "literally anyone under 35" then I guess it does. It's just like long hair or earrings on guys or ladies wearing pants and cutting their hair. if you still get upset about it, you are a fossil, a relic of a bygone age of ignorance. You are still allowed to get upset about gender identity, so jump on that while you still can, I guess. Some STDidH, I had a geometry teacher in high school who had a navy tattoo from WWII. He was old and the tattoo looked like a stretched out drawing done in colored pencil. He'd never had it re-inked or cleaned up. What I'm saying is, if you have tattoos, remember that they require occasional touch-ups throughout your life or they look like rear end.

It's like bitching about not being able to wear your Cannibal Corpse t-shirt to work and blaming the fact that old corporate execs can't handle death metal and just don't get you and your special-ness, rather than blaming it on the fact that your ego comes first in everything you do or your refusal to accept reality as it stands today. Except instead of a t-shirt you can take off and just wear what your goddamn workplace has deemed professional, it's with permanent markings on your skin depicting flaming skulls you liked to doodle in pre-calculus, or your favorite comic book characters you love so much you think the world has to see them, regardless of how it affects your ability to get people to take you seriously. It's hilarious because the conversation will end up with you trying to describe why your Wile E. Coyote tattoo on your forearm means something to you, and the person who asked only out of politeness just nodding their head and going, "Hmmm, cool I guess..."

Look at these losers doing things because they like them. What a bunch of losers, having things they like in TYOOL 2017. Not like me, the cool person with the ultra radical and edgy opinion that everyone who's not exactly like me is broken and who also can't figure out why people think I'm a dick for 'telling it like it is'.

As someone that works in a corporate setting I can comfortably say that lovely tattoos will prevent you from getting a job, but no one cares about regular tattoos . Got some tasteful classic style tats on your arm, whatever who gives a poo poo if you bring the business in. Got a scrawled 1488 stabbed into your forehead with the blunt point of a ball point pen? Probably not office material.

Also in non-USA it may be really loving hard to find a qualified candidate for any position who doesn't have visible tattoos unless you're looking to hire a middle-aged person.

(Not that there's anything wrong with hiring a middle-aged person.) I don't know if that's true. In large parts of Asia tattoos are still considered pretty not good even outside of a professional setting, worse than in the USA overall. It's loosened up a bit in the past decade or so but there's still plenty of stuff like how Japan has a lot of hot springs and stuff that just don't let anyone with any tattoos in.

I had a stdh when I was a kid/early teen where I had this sort of embellished or outright false memory* of totally owning this bully in 5th/6th grade by moving out of the way when he was trying to ram me into a locker or something, causing the bully to run into the locker instead. I had completely convinced myself this actually happened, until actually taking the time to doubt and reexamine the story when I got older. I think many stdh things are like this, in that the person actually genuinely believes something happened because they've integrated the story into their identity and it doesn't really benefit them to be skeptical and examine the story more closely. My dad has a bunch of these stories, and the annoying thing is you can't really debunk most of them (though occasionally you come across one that shows up on Snopes or something as an urban legend). *I also had this false memory of having some sort of leading role in a play in elementary school, and this memory stuck around until I was a grown adult. I was genuinely confused when I mentioned it to my parents and they told me "uh, you were never in any plays, even as a supporting role." Like, somehow this memory was just fabricated whole cloth, and I don't remember it ever being a conscious decision on my part. Ytlaya has a new favorite as of 09:18 on Sep 1, 2017 |

Memories are treacherous things. My fav thing is that afaik every time you recall a memory you need to pull it out of long term memory into your working memory. While it is in working memory there's a good chance some aspect will be distorted so that when you store it again you store a slightly altered version. Your favourite memories, the ones you recall the most, are the most false.

My most recalled memories are the incredibly embarrassing things I did in my teens that haunt me every moment awake or not so I'm glad they're mainly false. Can't believe mam made me wear those shoes to that disco...

In 11th grade, there was a girl in Drama Club who pissed off virtually everyone (including all of her existing friends) through really lovely behavior. She decided that the appropriate way to deal with this was to dramatically fall, lightly knock her head on the ground, and wake up claiming total amnesia of the entirety of high school. Surprisingly, she stuck with it even after other people figured out it was fake (which didn't take long). Just went through the rest of high school pretending to have lost all her memory of everyone so she had an excuse to rebuild all her relationships. Somehow her broke brain told her that the appropriate response was not to apologize for being a jerk, but to force everyone else to wipe the slate clean.
