    Someone unfollowed me “with genuine sadness” after I said I don’t have any tattoos. He interpreted it as disparagement of those who do have them. I wondered why he thought that (with a🙄); he expressed “disappointment”; I made a snarky comment; and there we are.

        Sometimes I just don’t understand this hellsite. I wasn’t sad about the unfollowing, just puzzled. Someone that sensitive about his tattoos? Oh, well...

        That's weird. I don't have any tattoos. I told my son I think he should not be in a hurry to get any when he turns 18, because he may want to give such a permanent fashion choice more mature consideration. But I am in no way "anti-tattoo."

        Some people are hypersensitive to perceived criticism. It could be generational, but it could also be a feature of things like ADHD (rejection sensitive dysphoria). I'm not sure we can always prevent these misunderstandings.

        People are so fucking weird. In a million years I can't imagine typing something that ridiculous and sending it to someone

        I have two (technically three*) tattoos and I find this strange and baffling. *my first one was very small, so I had a much larger one over it.

        I have many, many tattoos, as does my husband. They are a very personal choice, and absolutely no one else's business if someone has/wants them or not. Well I think you're fabulous without tattoos for what it's worth.

        Look I am forced to watch the Jets. All Jet jabs are warranted.
