So as a fan of Tattoos, and as a prior military guy that was loosely related to the Navy begrudgingly, us Marines tend to like things such as tattoos.
I want to get a few more at some point, currently only got a Celtic dragon on me shoulder. I like tattoos and find them to be kind of creative.
I know that society has had rough history with those with tattoos, but not everyone with them is a criminal or sailor.
[i]My main question to you today is what are your first thoughts when you see someone covered in tattoos?[/i]
[spoiler]Personally I see either one of three types of people:
1. A creative artistic person who may seem different but are still fun pleasant people to be around and full of energy.
2. You found the old salt-dawg sailor at a bar as he discusses this one time he was at sea and he seen the Kraken.
3. I find that I have interpreted multiple red flags of someone who did some time locked up, and I can read a story based on imagery that was used or placed in specific areas without them saying a word.

Edited by Upperclass Bum: 3/12/2025 12:52:33 AMI feel like your third point is quite common among people (especially people sans any ink) and it's incredibly presumptuous. That's me. If when looking at my ugly face you made the assumption that I've done time, you'd be completely wrong. Only negative interaction I've even had with law enforcement is getting a much deserved speeding ticket (was doing +90 in a 75) ETA: too many people, and again, especially people that don't have any tattoos have way too many stupid takes that are very dated on the subject to the point that I don't even like participating in the conversation even passively, hell, some examples are in this thread. A lot of notions of what a tattoo [i]should[/i] be. Literally shut up (not directed at you OP). My first more on topic edit apparently didn't save 'cause this app is still bad, but to answer your question, I tend not to make assumptions based on a person having tattoos or rather particular ones in specific places, unless there's obvious observable behavior that can be associated with whatever assumption(s) initially comes to mind. In general, I strive to not be a judgemental -blam!-, so~~~
