“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.

      Right? It not being for you or not fitting your tastes does not mean that their happiness about it can’t make you happy and excited for them. Like my brother-in-law was a punter in the NFL for a couple seasons. My wife and her mother knew absolutely nothing about football and didn’t care for the game. But they both learned enough to appreciate specifically what a punter does and attended many of his games to support him. There is a big difference between loving what someone loves and loving them.

      Right? How hard is it to put yourself into someone else’s shoes just enough to realize that they can enjoy something you wouldn’t enjoy yourself. And that’s so you need to be happy for them.
