It depends a lot on the tattoos though. Some tattoos show forethought and patience. Other tattoos show poor decision making. It really just depends.
I love shitty tattoos.
Not on myself, mind you.
We once spend nearly an hour going through the tattoos on tattoo shop (in a nearby town popular with bikers) Facebook page.
Every single one looked like it had been done in prison by somebody who had never done one before, and indeed had never drawn anything before.
I thought that was a double amputee for a second.
If I had tatoos that ugly I would seriously consider becoming one.
Yeah, I was thinking the same. It’s basically a visible representation of somebody’s thought process. It may indicate something important to them, something they’re passionate about, or just a point decision without due consideration for consequences.
People get tattoos that are extremely artistic and represent a significant investment in both time and money. Many get tattoos about something they have a passion for. Some to honor deceased loved ones. Some to represent their culture.
Others get a facial tat with prison symbols or to make themselves look like a lizard/devil, which I can only describe as a “look-at-me” tattoo. That may not be the type of personality you want working for you or even to hang out with.
Others it’s a “hey we were drinking and just got this cool new tattoo gun” or “I wanted ink but didn’t bother to research local artists or pay for someone that does good work or can spell” …
The person usually tells you more with body language than their tattoos do. Face tattoos are exclusively on people with serious emotional problems, however, and I avoid them like leprosy.
There’s a line when it comes to tattoos. Face, neck and hands I feel like cross that line

What to you mean, “you people”
According to the Trump administration, the entire population within a specific range of millennials are gang members to the last.
OG Boomers and Silents are gang members, but they’re called lodges and esoteric societies, sometimes churches for tax reasons.
Remember that the primary efforts of Black Panthers and Hezbollah are community support (often cooperating with NGOs like Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders), we can expect that other terrorist organizations are similarly extremist.

“Showing up on time” is the lowest possible bar, isn’t it?
I’m reminded of the Chris Rock bit about people bragging about “paying their bills” and “taking care of their family” as if it’s a huge accomplishment. These are just things you’re supposed to do!
That’s a real struggle for a lot of people. I’ll admit to habitually coming into the office at 8:15 or 8:30. But I found a career where that works, so it’s okay. In an old job where punctuality was more important (shift work), I had to buckle down a bit more.
Meanwhile, my parent’s housekeeper that comes in once a month or so for a deep clean absolutely cannot hold a regular job, because I’ve never known her to arrive within 3 hours of when she planned. The first time she was hired was for a make-ready on their house that was being built while we were all living in campers on their property during Covid. I went over to the new house to grab some ice from the freezer at like midnight, and found her dusting the master bedroom because she hadn’t arrived until like 5pm and make-readies take all day.
That being said, she does and I’d recommend her to anybody, so long as they’re okay with the housekeeper occasionally being there at like 7 or 8 at night when they were supposed to be there from like 10am till noon.
Do you happen to have a link to that video?
“Showing up on time” is the lowest possible bar, isn’t it?
Recently I found an old school yearbook. My entry was written by someone who barely knew me. Said something about me showing up on time all the time. Now, I was like “holy shit that’s cringe, I don’t want that on my tombstone”.
Better than showing up on time some of the time.
Would you prefer “Was late to his own funeral”?
I think that’s what’ll be on mine.
I home i’d be ‘late’ at my own funeral. The late rumba. I ain’t holding that shit while I’m alive.
The thing is, people can commit to different things. A classic saying in recovery is “If you put as much effort into your recovery as you did your addiction you would be on top of the world” or whatever. Would you walk 4 hours to make it to a job interview like you would to pick up heroin? etc
Someone might be really into adorning their body with art, but maybe wont show up to crunch data and smile at customers.
Last week I saw an East Asian guy with sleeves and neck. That hits different.
yeah tattoo culture is really going through a massive shift. in 2010 no one in korea had tattoos, or if they did they kept them secret. the only ones with tattoos were involved in organized crime. if you took your shirt off at the bathhouse, people would get scared, that degree of discomfort.
now you go to korea in 2025 and you see young people with tats everywhere!
That description of 2010 Korea sounds like Japan, except it hasn’t changed in Japan as it did in Korea. Some public baths outright ban people with tattoos. Tattoos are still pretty much a taboo (pun intended) in Japan.
they got the Yakuza to worry about, i guess.

Years ago I was asked by a recruiter if I had any tattoos and piercings - I don’t, but told them I wasn’t interested in working for a client who’d let that get in the way of hiring the right people.
I still laugh at recruiters who ask if I’m okay that the company has a dress code.
I laugh even harder if it’s a remote position.
I’ve got no problem with tattoos generally, but certain specific tattoos are red flags.
Literally this.

Some history of the modern lucky 13 tattoo tradition.
TRIGGER WARNING FOR AMERICAN READERS: The popularity of the #13 in modern tattoo culture is the work of a famous American tattoo artist.
Americans are wild. The creator of the modern ritual of the lucky Friday the 13th tattoo which is based on old sailing tattoo tradition is Oliver Peck, an American tattoo artist who has made this very popular within tattoo culture in the last several decades especially in North America but also around the globe. Every Friday the 13th he tattoos $13 #13 tattoos for 24 hours along with all the artists in his studio. This has caught on throughout the world and now many tattooists also do the same. Many enthusiasts have at least one lucky 13 tattoo amongst their collections. It is in reference to taking back the bad luck associated with Friday the 13th.
Oliver Peck lives and works in DALLAS, TEXAS the heart of the bullshit movement and is even somewhat of a rich celebrity in his own right. He gets 1200 people to his shop regularly on Friday the 13th events and people travel from all over the world to get his art on them. He had a tv show for some time as well. He is also known to have been caught up in some racially motivated hate controversy like blackface costumes and such which led to his firing from said tv show. He says he is ashamed for that time in his life and is not that person but he did do it multiple times once with an “N” on his chest as part of his “costume”. He himself has a world record for tattooing the most 13’s in 24 hours. He also used to hold the record for the most #13 tattoos on one individual but I’m not sure if that still stands.
No wonder your problems are so large. Very few of you even have any idea what you are talking about but you wildly profile people who like a kind of art. It’s weird and fucked up and led to the downfall of your society but I bet you’ll fight me about it. Or attack me for something I’ve said.
FWIW I’m specifically referring to WS shit like swastikas, totenkopfs, 1488’s, etc.
I get ya. All good. I wanted folks to know. Not one attack after I posted though. I am surprised everyone could digest this and not lose their shit. Maybe they didn’t read it.
I put this specifically because 13’s are extremely popular within a portion of the population and get lumped into MS-13 tattoos but have completely different histories.
Or attack me for something I’ve said.
That last paragraph makes you sound like a sanctimonious asshole. Most of the things you say do, but that did as well.
Yes cause the sanctimonious asshole gets some real nice doozies from muricans happy to live under a dictator right now. Exactly like you’re doing.
Perhaps you didn’t read the rest of the smug sanctimonious assholes from murica saying that everyone and anyone with tattoos basically deserves this treatment because they’ve made “bad decisions” so they are “bad people”.
Either way…I’ll take sanctimonious over slave to a regime any day.
Have a great day. Thanks for the comment.
Thankfully no 88’s. I’m not familiar with the significance of 13, is it related to 1312? I just have the 1312 on the inside brim of a hat.
See my comment below /above for a brief explanation. I thought people might not know what this person was referring to.
Lmao. That drunk tattoo of a dick on your forearm truly speaks to your tardiness and responsibility.
Some level of impressive deduction right there.
If you mostly see people with those tattoos, that speaks more of your environment
You mean the internet?
Internet isn’t a single community, so yes.
