“Do you think my tattoo is cool?” No, I don’t. There are no cool tattoos. “Check out my sleeve!” Oh god ew.

Tattoos themselves are stupid. Doubly so if it’s some media IP. “I put Batman on my body!” “Look at this image of Goku on my calf!” I can’t think of many things I’d want to do less than that.

There are a few narrow exceptions. Chances are yours isn’t one of them.

If you personally like tattoos, fine. I’m not saying nobody should get tattoos because I don’t like them. I’m stating my opinion that tattoos are stupid, and I am stating it here because it is probably not a popular opinion.

    it’s suppose to tell strangers about who you are

    Like, if you like a band, you wear the shirt. Then when somebody else who likes the band sees you in that shirt they can be like, “Awesome, what’s your favorite song”. You guys get to talk, maybe you make a friend

    But then a bunch of people decided it would be cool to wear those shirts even if they don’t actually like the band or the TV show or whatever that’s on the shirt… but other people who were fans were like, “Awesome, what’s your favorite song”… but the idiot wearing the shirt couldn’t answer the question because they don’t actually like the band or TV show or whatever and instead of thinking to themselves, “maybe I shouldn’t pretend to be a fan of something I’m not” instead decided to push this bullshit narrative that it’s wrong for other people to ask them about their shirt

    So now people walk around advertising shit they don’t like because the world is full of stupid people who make stupid rules that other people stupid people follow to prove how open-minded and non-judgemental they are

      I don’t care whether you genuinely like it or not. I don’t particularly care if its a mutual interest or not. I don’t really like having unnecessary stimulation in my fiekr of vision.

      If I want to talk to people about a band I like, I’ll go find an online community or go to a concert, not talk to random strangers wearing relevant t-shirts.
