I'm aware of some bias on this matter - so it's a little difficult to separate, but think I judge people on their clipart tattoos, or performative ego/masculinity.
If you've gota dreamcatcher on your thigh/calf and what appears to be a child's name in flowing script underneath your ear, I'll judge you.
If you're a 24ish barista covered in tatts, yeah I'll not think highly of your choices.
With tattos, you're not joining a team (unless it's a gang tatt, and that's a whole other situation, lol). Yet people keep getting clip art rubbish because it's cool.
I've been thinking of investing in tattoo removal businesses, to be honest!
Or you could just... not judge people based on body art. It's actually pretty easy.
Yeah, that's fair.
I can be really judgemental and its something I'm trying to work on because I hate how it becomes a focus on what's around me. Thanks for pointing out another avenue, I guess
Yeah, fuck baristas. Get a real job right?
Not at all! Maybe consider why spending money on trivial, painful and permanent art isn't helpful when one is likely paid poorly.
I do get caught up in the thinking that people are trying to join a club by looking like a 'type', but that's just my own shallow and judgmental thinking...
