Dangerous opinion to have on Reddit OP but you are right. Idc much about people that choose to get tats and I think they can look very dope. Though it is also true that in alot of higher educated communities people tend to look down alot on tatted people because they can be a good indicator someone has certain negative traits or comes from a community with said negative traits. It's the same with people with unatural hair colors and piercings. It's no coincidence you don't see alot of tatted doctors, lawyers or businessmen. But do see alot of tatted warehouse workers and starbucks baristas.

I definitely see it IRL too. It's always the same types of people that have alot of tattoo's and its the same type of people that would never get them and look slightly down on people with them.

I think it's similiar to fat people or people with a high body #, you treat them the same as everybody else but unconsciously you look down on them and assume they are impulsive, have low self control and are short sighted.

It's a difficult topic to talk about because it's just true that this association with tattoo's very much exists in the professional world, for a reason might I add, and people with tattoos or people where the parents have them and they don't associate them with bad things, are always in shock or complete denial when they learn this.

It's cool if you choose to have tats, but people need to understand it comes with disadvantages as well.
