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/

My first thought when I see someone with a ton of tattoos is "Fuck that looks terrible/painful/expensive."
It's only after that I try to appreciate them as a personal choice and artistic thing.
That said, I do want one tattoo, from the show Fringe, episode White Tulip. Just haven't made it a priority at all.
10/10 choice. I feel like Fringe has a good selection of imagery for tattoos.
For a lot of people tattoos are indeed a luxury they indulge in. Also, for a significant amount of people who get tattoos, the pain is part of the point.
Kinda depends, where you get it and how much shading there is makes a big difference on how much it hurts. None of mine were all that painful but the shading wasn't comfortable by any stretch of the imagination.
That said, you never just get one tattoo. You get that first one, then think, well you can't just have one that's silly. Then suddenly you're covered in ink and looking for room for more.
Maybe, get that design in a sticker first, slap it on something everyone will see and see how long you enjoy being asked about it.
Upvote for good advice!
