I disagree with the OP and take exception with the definitive nature of the post. It should read "I think tattoos are ____ ugly". Stating opinion as if it is fact is extremely hurtful and, incorrect. YOU may not like tattoos but many people do and YOUR opinion is no more (or less) valuable or correct than anyone elses; it is just OPINION though. Remember that this is a forum for people who are ROUTINELY minimized by other. For people who have "weird" or uncommon interests. Making insulting, vitriolic, curse riddled declarations denigrating the way some people choose to decorate THEIR bodies (not YOUR body), or hobbies, or passions puts on display a disturbing ease and willingness for one to sub-humanize the "other". I personally find the language of this post unacceptable.
Tattoos are not ugly, wholesale attacks on people's dignity and individuality are ugly... In a deep, existential way that cannot be removed even by a high-powered laser. I am POSITIVE there are ways the OP chooses to ornate themselves that others may find visually displeasing. I implore the OP to consider how they would feel if, without any provocation, a style they "love" or have even come to feel is a part of their identity were to come under such deep, and cutting assault.
If the OP has an OPINION, to share it should be presented as such and even then with respect. No one HAS to LIKE anything. The OP doesn't HAVE to like tattoos... But, if they wish to post trash like this they will have to accept that my OPINION on the matter is that the OP's opinion, insofar as it is presented, is about as worthless as a hammer made if glass.
No one is denying your right to be offended.
