Why are so many ppl so judgemental of those with tatts?

Question

its like, what's it to you? whats the point of judging? i dont judge you for having a stick up your butt, so why judge me for living a little?

Answer 1

Because a lot of people don't like anything different than what they're used to seeing.

Also, even today, tattoos and peircings are still associated with criminals, and general trash by some narrow minded individuals.

Answer 2

why would anyone WANT to be branded for life like a cow?

Besides do you REALLY think that when you are 90 you will still want that barbed wire tattoo bracelet on your wrist?

i don't think so.  

Answer 3

Most people only see the pop idol with the tramp stamp or the guy who was in prison for such and such. They don't understand that tattoos are an old forms of art and a lot of the people tattooed are regular, everyday people.  

Answer 4

You know what? I actually don't think the percentages are that high (of people dead set against - send you to h**l - hate tattoos), I just think that there are some very insecure, paranoid, little people, who yell really loud and make a big deal, and stick their noses in unasked for (like on here), .. and I think that they do this because, they think that their self righteous remarks, and their judgmental stances, will cover for the fact that they are scared of anyone who is the slightest bit different from their closed little groups.

These people are definitely not psychologically sound and secure in their lives, or they would not feel the need to do this. Even to them, it has to be clear that my tattoos, or your nose ring, or my neighbors hair color, or the new family down the blocks skin color, ... etc. , can't possibly hurt them, and clearly has nothing to do with them, and it is obvious to anyone, that their unasked for rantings, are unwanted, unappreciated, make no difference (as far as changing anyones actions or attitudes), and despite their hopes about how people perceive them,   they are viewed as prejudiced, small minded, busy bodies.

They just can't help themselves, they have to get in everyones business, because if they didn't, they just might expose their own shallow ways to themselves.

Answer 5

Haha, people judge because they're stuck in an era. They dont want things to change. Tattoos used to be Taboo because how unacceptable they are, but now they are art and some people just have a problem dealing with it. Sucks for them.  

Answer 6

The same reason they are judgemental of anyone who is not afraid to be different......they are threatened and insecure.

Answer 7

Why are you obsessing over it?

Hah.

Answer 8

Simple Ignorance..the cause for most Stupidity

Answer 9

the difference between people with tattoos and people without tattoos is that people with tattoos dont care if you dont have any tattoos

Answer 10

It's human nature.  If it bothers you that much, then don't get tattoos or don't show them off.  Not everyone is going to agree or like everything you do and certain people are more mouthy about it than others.

I hate whiny babies.

Answer 11

either they are jealous, or they make fun cuz they know they cant handle the pain. ur right. they have sticks up their butts. that must hurt, but they come out. (the sticks)

remember...

UR SKIN IS JUST A CANVAS!!!

sticks dont belong in butts.

tattoos rock. plain and simple.

its a form of what you believe in, ur memories, ect.

so dont trip on what others think.

im a heavily covered female that thinks all of them are s**y,

and all tells a story of my life.

Answer 12

If you don't care why are you asking this question? Deal with the fact that people think different things.  Why the h**l do you think there are wars?
