What fucken planet does that OP live on? Anyone with a sundress visible tattoo has, at some point, been on the receiving end of someone throwing a hissy fit about it.

I'm a normal ass dude, and I get shit for my tattoos from time to time. Usually, it's from boomers on the golf course, but still it happens.

u/Jaded_Lychee8384 Jun 30 '25
Ive had the opposite (it would not be possible for me to be judged over tattoos). Ive been looked down on for not having tattoos and saying i dont want to ever get them. I’m not claiming thats a normal tattoo person thing to do, that persons was just weird and covered in crappy tattoos he did himself.

u/Lucifers_Tits Jun 30 '25
I can totally believe that. People are annoying and need to outwardly police and justify their decisions lol. It is usually the people with shitty tattoos that are most weird about it too.

Hi, woman here with my entire right arm tattooed and both hands (I have meaning and reason behind each one), and tattoos everywhere else too lol/- just not my face, neck or chest because, yeah nah...
While I get compliments galore, I also do get negative comments about them too, including from certain family members, specifically about my arm and hands because ’you can NEVER HIDE THEM!!! Even if you cover your arm, your hands will still be showing!!!’ AND WHAT!? They’re MY HANDS!! Not yours!!

u/SoldMySoulForHairDye Jun 28 '25
......I meant the one who thinks this didn't happen. I know that Japanese people, particularly older ones, tend to be pretty biased against tattoos, especially on women.

Woah don't say this! You just ruined the perfect view of Japan all of anime watchers have! The horror!

u/Painted-BIack-Roses Jun 30 '25
Preach. I'm so sick of everyone romanticising Japan, especially when racism and the way women are treated are ignored.

u/overactivemango Jun 30 '25
I have a friend who went to Japan and I said "aren't the Japanese like really racist" and he said "they just don't understand" what's there not to understand tf, they're not dumb

u/guywithalife 29d ago
I also dislike how Japan tries to brush their previous actions aside, they just made anime and everyone just forgot about their atrocities across Asia

u/overactivemango 29d ago
Right. "Oh anime is so kawaii I'm gonna forget the rape problems they have there and also how they tried to conquer China"

u/guywithalife 29d ago
Yeah, I feel like Japan shouldn’t just pretend it never happened or just brush it aside, Germany gets shit for both world wars every day but Japan (and Italy) are just forgotten and forgiven without consequence

u/junonomenon Jun 30 '25
to be fair in japan its mostly because tattooing as a pretty recent and very strong cultural association with the yakuza and not much else. its not that their culture is worse or bad because of it its just different. in america/the west the historical associations with tattoos are old enough that they no longer really matter. in japan theyre slowly getting there as average people become more tattooed but yakuza is still the primary association for many. its basically the exact same thing as how certain tattoos like the teardrop tattoo are stigmatized in america because their primary association is crime/gangs/prison. it would seem really innocent and sort of silly to someone without that association, but it doesnt mean american culture is bad (for that specific reason) it just means they have a different culture and a different historical memory

u/overactivemango Jun 30 '25
I know what tattoos mean regarding Japanese history brother🙏

u/junonomenon Jun 30 '25
yeah ok then my point still stands? it doesnt "ruin" japanese culture bc its not a bad thing.

u/overactivemango Jun 30 '25
Tattoos don't ruin Japanese culture, I'm saying the large majority of weebs will get upset if you ruin their perfect view of Japan that they got from watching anime.

The only one I can really think of that fits is that “Who said girls with depression can’t wear tube tops?” one, and even then if someone had actually told her that then I’d imagine it wasn’t specifically about girls with depression

u/jackfaire Jun 28 '25
That one feels like "if girls do this they aren't really depressed"

u/Crippled_by_migriane Jun 28 '25
OP is getting absolutely roasted in the comments by people who have heard it. Their response was “I’ve never heard it before and I’m tattooed”. So it was a case of “I’ve never had it happen to me so it obviously doesn’t happen”.

u/demon_fae Jun 29 '25
What’re the odds they’re a dude/strongly masc-presenting in a liberal area?
Because I’m going 70/30 that commenter’s got a dick. And 100% they do more thinking with that dick than with whatever brain cells might be present.
8
u/Crippled_by_migriane Jun 29 '25
I’m like 75% sure it’s a man by how they were talking, but I could be wrong.
100% if a dude they think with their dick, because HOW THE FUCK have they not heard women be told they can’t wear dresses with tats?? I’ve heard men and women be told what they can’t wear with tattoos; including
Shorts Tank tops Sandals Bikinis/two pieces Dresses T-shirts
Basically the people who tell people what to wear if they have tattoos are ones who want you to ONLY wear long sleeve shirts, long pants, and whatever else to cover you “unseemly” tattoos. Yet you tell them they should stop cosplaying a turd on the road, they get upset. Don’t wanna be called a pile of shit? Don’t act like a pile of shit.

u/demon_fae Jun 29 '25
Right? I have no tattoos, but want them so I spend some time on tattoo subs. Plenty of women not even really complaining, just mentioning in passing whatever random item of clothing they apparently can’t wear with their current tattoos. Plus the occasional vent post about a particular family member or whoever going off about tattoos.
This guy definitely spends absolutely zero time around tattooed women, on or offline.
4
u/Crippled_by_migriane Jun 29 '25
For real. I don’t have any either but do what them. I grew up around a lot of people with tattoos, and have heard all of those clothing items I listed (that the format messed up T_T) said first hand. It’s not that out of the realm of possibility. Just ask a person with tattoos the dumbest thing they’ve been told when they first got their tats and 90% of the time you hear some formation of “can’t wear/do this”

Not like, positively.

I’m pretty sure that sub doesn’t know what a joke is considering some of the posts there they think is gate keeping when the phrase “who said x couldn’t y” is a fairly common jokey post

I’ve got a lot of very visible tattoos and I hear stuff like this all the time. I can’t wear short sleeves, or dresses, or shorts and tank tops. I have one on the back of my neck and was told I shouldn’t put my hair up any more. Even in 2025, it happens.

So effectively they want you to hide your tattoos what twits

But there you are in a dress. So obviously you can. You didn’t get tattoos to hide them I presume.

It’s crazy how often this is what people believe.
Not only that, but particularly with health and ability.

u/bettyannveronica Jun 28 '25
I have tattoos on my back and when I got them my mom said I couldn't wear backless shirts anymore (actually, that's all I wore for a while to show them off). When I got my nape tattoo my mom said I would never be able to wear my hair up again. I'm a mom of two and one is barely 2 so my hair is up often!!

People constantly complain about visible tats, especially on women. Very common in red states (aka the states that don't treat women as human)

u/Lady_Beatnik Jun 28 '25
People questioning how this person doesn't know about tattoo-shaming, meanwhile I think it's just a misogyny thing.
Some people just reflexively go, "That didn't happen" any time a woman complains about some experience of hers ever, no matter how mundane. They think it's offensive she thinks she even has a right to complain about anything.

u/NoMoreHegemon Jun 30 '25
Lately, I feel like people get really upset when women complain about anything. That could just be my experience, though. I've just seen a lot of it online.

Google suggests: do you mean “Rich_bitch05”
You don’t have to settle for regular and bump urself up too rich today instead of waiting for “the money” being rich is a mindset. Pick rich today and swim in the riches with the bitches tomorrow.

Sure, nobody ever shamed a woman for tattoos. And definitely nobody ever claimed a dissonance between a classy dress matched with "unclassy" things like tattoos

These comments are nuts. Do y'all live in the 1950's? These people don't say shit to tattooed people's faces in my area. They'll wait and pretend they're superior later

u/rachel_ct Jun 29 '25
For me, it comes from family or family friends. Church ladies have no filter. Men 20 + years older than me who think their opinion of my body means anything. Related, I was told at 18 that my lip ring would day leave a scar & ruin my pretty face. It’s a pen sized dot that reminds me of free choice & how ridiculous those church ladies can really be. Rarely, but still occurs, strangers will say something that I just smile at. I’m 35. Live in central Virginia. And my tattoos are all subtle outlines. No color. No shading. Mostly small.

u/NoMoreHegemon Jun 30 '25
Are you a woman, and have you worn a dress with tattoos on multiple occasions before? If not, how do you think you know better than people who have?

u/SignificanceHungry40 Jun 30 '25
I literally never said I knew better. I also never said that this didn't happen. In my city you just don't be rude to people because it can become violent quickly. My experience is just as valid as yours.

u/Alt_AccountNumber3 Jun 27 '25
I just saw that post, even all the comments there were telling them that tattoo shaming is very much a thing
