Do you judge people by their tattoos?

[Jayburner]

Not a tattoo guy myself. But when I see neck tattoos or hand tattoos I immediately judge them. Not sure why I judge them but I think immediately they are homeless or unemployed.

I'm sure most are not but I can't help but think they lack crucial life skills and are losers.

Anyone else think this?

Don't get me started on face tattoos or piercings.

on a side note. I love shows like Ink Master. I do appreciate the art behind it.

[Xeones]

People who have akward tattos or peircings (face, neck, forearms) I do judge. I look at them and can only feel they have no goals in life and are fine residing at the lowest levels of society.

[MasterOutlaw]

I don't mind tattoos and don't judge those who have them... unless it's an exceptionally shitty looking one, a stupid phrase, or they have it in a ridiculous spot like their face. Then I make it a point not to allow them to make important choices that may impact me because they clearly lack the capacity for good decision making.

[Kujako]

Depends on the tattoo. Yes, I judge the guy with a swastika made up of penises on his forehead.

[drwelfare]

Yes I do. I look down even more at those who just paid money for tattoos and the next week are crying about they cant pay their bills.

Depends on what it is.

I only judge military personnel stupid enough to get tattoos. When i was in the military tattoos where a huge "NONO!" due to being caught, they'll easily use the tats against you. Good luck telling terrorists you're not a soldier but a simple news reporter when you have "USMC HOOAH!" written on your back.

[Vaught]

I do. But only with bad ink.

any tattoo that is badly done or is of something so chavvy or in poor taste immediately turns me off of someone.

Despite that i have some friends who have some truly amazing pieces of artwork on their skin, which i think looks great. I completely get what you mean about the "losers who lack crucial life skills" comment though... sometimes you cant help but think.. "what kind of job would accept someone with tattoos all over their necks and hands and faces"

[Waaldo]

Yeah, I don't see why anyone would be stupid enough to get a tattoo.

[Trassk]

It depends really on how far they go.

Tattoos like these:

I'm good these these, there stylish and look neat.

Ones like this however..



this to me is just defacing someones body with graffiti. Someone who gets full over tattoos like this, what happens when they reach 70-80 and there skin sags off like a old sock?

Yes that's on a girls lady parts (non exposed, just at the pubic area). She's constantly asking for ideas on how to cover it up on facebook.

Now she got this one (in a more normal place)

People that are covered in tatoes reminds me of people in jail.

Depends on the type, extent, location and nature of the tattoo.

You can be sure I'll judge someone with a Powerpuff Girls Z tattoo on his forehead. Someone with such a bad taste in shows should be looked down upon!!

[Lovecrafts]

It depends....are they gang tattoos or prison tattoos? Are they artistic expressions?
Obviously I'm going to look down on some kid with "tough guy" gang/prison tats.
If they are artistic expression, or something like a memorial, I'm fine with those.

[Jayburner]

Guess I should say tattoos that you can't cover with clothing. I hate those tattoos.

[Mexa]

where is the thunder buddies tattoo located ? Because i find that one humorous.

[Giants41]

Yeah i do. I don't mind the smaller ones but the huge ones... I don't get how someone could cover such a large part of their body with something permanent they may grow tired of. I also don't like the Chinese styling ones. So unoriginal. So boring.

She got it on her ribs iirc. Now she posts all over facebook about her new boyfriend is her thunderbuddy yada yada. (I guess it's more compatible with future boyfriends over a name right on her kitty).

[xtiiina]

Not to sound shallow but it depends on a few things....appearance of the person, age, and location of the tattoo. When I see ugly 40 year olds with tattoos I immediately assume,e they're homeless. But if I saw someone my age (20) with a tattoo who was attractive I'd think differently of it. This is coming from someone with 5 tattoos btw

[Garkanh]

hmm, my left chest, upper arm and shoulder is covered with a tattoo. however, i chose to have it so i can cover it up if i want to, so it stops right before my neck.
