About ten minutes later while I was sitting on the table one of the employees from the convenience store walked over and said I had to pay for the map that I tore up. I actually had the map in my car for years and years before it accidentally got thrown out during a car wash.

I'm glad I didn't get any tattoos back when i wanted them, because I would've gotten cool Greek/Roman stuff and it would be awkward nowadays.

Anyone here have one of those white-ink tattoos? I hear they're considered really tacky in tattoo circles, but I find the concept really interesting.

I love looking at good tattoos, because they're art. I love looking at bad tattoos because they're cringey. I don't have any tattoos because I don't want to spend the kind of money you need to spend to get the good ones on something I might not care for eventually.

When I was living in a punk squat we were all planning on branding our forearms. This brilliant plan involved buying metal mailbox letters and then heating them up on a charcoal grill. The only reason we didn't follow through was because we couldn't figure out how to hold them the right way with BBQ tongs. There was a lot of life altering mistakes missed by a hairbreadth for me in those days though.

Lmao were people really claiming that tattoos (things that cost hundreds of dollars of your free spending money) were hated because of classism? Boring middle class people try so hard to invent oppression for themselves.

Yeah, that's absolutely a real association. Tattoos are considered a working-class thing in many parts of the Western world. Having big and visible tattoos will make it a lot harder for you to get an office job, or really white-collar jobs in general. Prison tattoos have more than a little to do with that reputation, too. Even in East Asia, having large visible tattoos associates you with organized crime in people's minds.

Not in anything resembling the recent past. Like yes it was once a foreign outsider marker but the people in this thread aren’t being judged for their pen-needle prison tattoo. They’re being judged for their naruto arm sleeves.

People in their 20s won't care anymore. You need to add about 10-20 years to all those ages. You’re still operating on things you learned from 80’s sitcoms. Or go outside.

I'm sorry you had to find out this way, but it's 2021 out there, not 1981. edit: Like I get it, when you were feeling boring and trying to be edgy you dropped $500 on your keikaku kanji tattoo from the local not scary tattoo guy, and you thought that made you a rebel, but it's no longer a thing associated with bikers and outlaws, it's just a thing middle class kids do in college.

Yeah, this basically - I've worked in all sorts of corporate environments and a solid 50% or so of people have visible or partially visible tattoos and nobody cares or has cared since I was a teenager back in the 90's. The people still harping about it haven't been outside in literally decades.

Yeah this entire "nobody cares about tattoos" conversation is a bit baffling to someone living in an area that's mostly upper middle class republicans. Tattoos are still very much a subject of class war memes here. There was a big ol' kerfuffle in my town about our mayor having a large and visible tattoo. He's a professional fireman and it's the fireman's shield thing and he got it to commemorate a town hero that died fighting a fire. But John and Glenda Pearlgrabber actually put up signs asking how you're meant to trust someone who has a tattoo. No mention of his three DUI's though. And no it's not generational, the main spearhead for the smear campaign is in their late 30's. It's really still a thing. Be glad you live somewhere where it isn't. It's dire.

Wind chimes are noise pollution. If you have any neighbors at all within earshot, and you put up a wind chime, you're an inconsiderate rear end in a top hat. It's no different than if you were blasting music (or any other sound) across the neighborhood 24 hours a day.

I also don't think it's generational, but it is personal values. I know a few guys who wouldn't hire an employee who had tattoo's that can't be covered by standard work garb, the same way they won't hire someone who's unkempt. Maybe they have the talent to do the job and excel at it, but they still look like poo poo, so the employer isn't going to gamble on getting burned.
