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/

Tattoos look good for the first few months, or in other words about 1% of their lifespan
You're supposed to get them touched up occasionally, and most decent tattoo artists usually offer free touchups. Tattoos require maintenance, just like any other body modification.
And most people don't take care of them. Sure, they'll all fade somewhat in time, but if the person putting them on does a really good job and works in plenty of color and you keep them sunblocked/moisturized, My wife's wedding flowers look 90% as vibrant as the did 15 years ago, even without touchup.
Unless you get simple line art, they look nice faded and blurred too.
I've had tattoos that are older than 10 years and they still look just as good. Where are you getting your info from? Surely you're not just talking out your ass because tattoos upset you?
This doesn't even touch on how they look once the skin starts to droop, sag and wrinkle.
Tattoos can be cool, but they all expire eventually.
We all expire eventually dude, we all droop, sag, and wrinkle. Who's gonna be looking at my saggy ass when im 80 and care that I have an old tattoo on it? I've never understood this complaint, can you elaborate on it for me?
