honestly, i couldnt care less what ppl judge based off my tattoos. i dont get them to offend them or to invite their opinion, i dont want to hear it, and if they do judge me so what! if thats their preference on how to waste their life then let em, theyre bigger losers then anyone with tats then. if you dont want judged than dont put ink in your skin, seriously grow a pair, being an individuals about making your own decisions and standing up for them, BY YOURSELF.

besides you wait til they’re dumb enough to say those things around rougher ppl, like a bikerbar haha

Hi

I have experienced nasty comments about being tattooed as well as the usual prejudices about the level of my education (ie I must be stupid to have gotten tattoos).

I also experience a lot of anti-semitism for being jewish and take shit from many of my fellow jews for having tattoos.

The simple fact is people are judgemental, prejudiced, spiteful, and often rude. You have to try and rise above it.

The main thing is you love your ink and you are the one wearing it.

Whilst I am not going to bag on what others have put I do actually understand that sometimes the need to have somebody put in their place is overwhelming.

I often want to do it but it would achieve little as the o/p on that forum has no desire to understand or get to know people with ink.

My thoughts are;

To you – just accept that people are gonna say all sorts of shit and opinions are like arses we all have one.

To everybody else cut the guy some slack – we all have those moments where we want to break stuff (usually heads) 😉

Hi Al

Occasionally when at the gym or meeting other ppl with tattoos. My home life does tend to revolve around those who will tolerate ink because they love me but will never actually like them :p

I’ve never been harassed for mine.
Quite the opposite, I get a lot of compliments, and the women find them attractive too 😉
