Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I wouldn't say stupid, but I wish people would try to justify them so much, nobody need a drawing on their body as a reminder of something.
Just admit the vanity and narcissism.
I have a couple tattoos but I dont have a dog in this fight it is whatever people prefer on their own bodies
But you could argue the same way that not having tattoos is vanity and narcissism
If you got a tattoo of yourself on your body sure but otherwise im not sure how its vane or narcissistic in any way?
The only purpose of a tattoo is to signal others something, seek attention or because you think it looks good on you. These are all superficial reasons, and mostly performative. If it is something that important to you that need to be stamped on your body, it's probably already on top of your mind most of the time.
Unless its "Memento" situation.
Idk if I agree with you on that tbh.
Every tattoo I got was because I wanted to have it. Each tattoo is in a place that no one would see unless i was in a swimming suit.
I didnt do it for anyone else and I didnt do it because I thought I would look good or better.
I did it because I loved what I was getting tattooed and I loved the artwork.
Not a single one of my tattoos is to signal anything to anyone and none of the people I know who havw them did it for that reason either
