ooli3New psychology research uncovers surprisingly consistent misjudgments of tattooed individuals
ZerushRemoving his nipples and belly button for more tattoos are the only things that strike me as concerning.
Not for the children, but his own welfare. The tattoos are amazing.
☂️-why?
Why do I think surgery to remove body parts for additional tattoos is potentially concerning?
removing your nipples seem like a small concern to me, honestly. its ugly as fuck but eh.
Any surgery carries risk, and requires appropriate consideration.
Let’s take breast augmentation as an example. There are some folks who will choose to do so because it will help them match their gender, and that makes a lot of sense for their mental well being. There are some folks who have had a mastectomy, and an augmentation (and in many cases a tattooed nipple to finish things off) will help for their mental well being. These are generally one-time surgeries with a clear beneficial outcome.
There are others who will continually go larger and larger and larger, and its actually detrimental to their health and well being, they are often doing so because of other issues of their self image or self worth, and the surgery will never be enough for them. Its even been shown to make those perceptions of their bodies worse, which is why they end up getting surgery over and over again.
My concern here is whether or not he fits in the first group or the second. I sincerely hope he does not have an internal struggle that will drive him to many surgeries, never addressing the actual issue, and making things worse for himself over time.
How it looks is irrelevant to me, if he likes it more power to him. I think his tattoos are incredible, personally.
I just hope he’s OK.
Injecting black dye into his eyes you don’t find concerning at all?
That is a lot more common than surgery to remove a belly button or nipples. I’ve known people who had done that with their eyes, so that doesn’t seem anywhere near as concerning to me.
Many things are common. It doesn’t make them safe or legal. www.aao.org/…/scleral-tattoo-gone-wrong
I dont believe I commented at all on legality or safety, only on what I personally consider a concern (surgery).
If you’re trying to create an argument, I’m not remotely interested.
I am not creating a argument but merely pointing out that your sense of concern and risk assessment differs from that of most people.
Cool story.
The article photo wasn’t visible for me so here are some photos of him after having his nipples and bellybutton removed:
So all tattooed people aren’t ketchup drinking rapists?
Well, no one said anything about them NOT drinking ketchup
𝕽𝖚𝖆𝖎𝖉𝖍𝖗𝖎𝖌𝖍So there’s some question about whether they drink ketchup, but not that they’re rapists?
Precisely. Clearly not rapists, but ketchup drinkers…well, Im gonna need some more evidence to the contrary
Ohhh. The headline made it sound like people who get tattoos make poor decisions.
The article says people’s opinions about a tatooed person does not necessarily match the tattooed person’s view on themself. The article was frustrating to read because it lacked details.
On my first read, I got the meaning right. However, I agree that it’s very ambiguous. Were the “of” a “by”, I’d swing the other way as well.
Science!
I mean we all judge each other automatically and if you’re an outlier you are going to be targeted. There’s a reason people wear suits and get cleaned up when they have to go to court.
HanrahanYou’re right, totoally misjudged the dude with the gaint swastika and HH tattoos.
I’m aware of some bias on this matter - so it’s a little difficult to separate, but think I judge people on their clipart tattoos, or performative ego/masculinity.
If you’ve gota dreamcatcher on your thigh/calf and what appears to be a child’s name in flowing script underneath your ear, I’ll judge you.
If you’re a 24ish barista covered in tatts, yeah I’ll not think highly of your choices.
With tattos, you’re not joining a team (unless it’s a gang tatt, and that’s a whole other situation, lol). Yet people keep getting clip art rubbish because it’s cool.
I’ve been thinking of investing in tattoo removal businesses, to be honest!
Yeah, fuck baristas. Get a real job right?
Not at all! Maybe consider why spending money on trivial, painful and permanent art isn’t helpful when one is likely paid poorly.
I do get caught up in the thinking that people are trying to join a club by looking like a ‘type’, but that’s just my own shallow and judgmental thinking…
Or you could just… not judge people based on body art. It’s actually pretty easy.
Yeah, that’s fair.
I can be really judgemental and its something I’m trying to work on because I hate how it becomes a focus on what’s around me. Thanks for pointing out another avenue, I guess
apotheotic (she/her)As a tall, tatted goth lady, many people have the first impression of me that I am intimidating and edgy, which couldn’t be further from the truth. So, sample size of me, this tracks.
The headline here made it sound to me like they were claiming people with tattoos were the ones making poor judgments.
I was like, that’s a pretty ballsy claim to be making.
My only judgement is how much money they’ve spent on them. I hope they’ve been saving for retirement as well.
4gramsI was at a concert last night and it struck me just how much I LOVE seeing how people who showed up to share an experience can be so different. My kids were pointing at strange looking people but it just made me smile more and more as explained why I loved their expression and courage to literally wear it in public.
Diversity, new experiences, unexpected is how life should be. I am tattooed, mine are pretty ordinary but last night someone commented on one of mine on the way out of the show. She thought it was strange, so I explained it and we had such a lovely conversation. She had recently beat cancer and was about to get her first.
I don’t know, it’s early and this resonated.
otter“Surprising”? Are you taking the piss?
My mother indoctrinated me to think that tattoos meant a person was “bad.” I have three and I’m looking to get more when I figure out what the next ones are.
Bad bad child
AvicennaWell how about this guy
Norwegian royalty, tattooed his birthday on his chest. Currently being trialed for accusations of rape and sexual assault among other 20+ charges.
Can we at least say it is ok for SOME tattoos.
Have you heard of the phrase anecdotal evidence?
Doesn’t apply to my case, it is the first time I am seeing someone tattoo his birthday on his chest and even if he did not hold a gun or stuff his crotch with fistfuls of money, my impression of him would be quite similar.
Doesn’t apply to my case
Really? Anecdotal evidence, in a scientific setting, is described as
casual observations/indications rather than rigorous or scientific analysis
This study is about the general trends of people judging others with tattoos incorrectly. It doesn’t mean everyone, always, judges people incorrectly.
It also states that context matters for how accurately you judge someone. The gun, money, and the public information of his terrible actions, all change how you assess them and how accurate your assessment is.
So in your case, yes, if you judged him as a rapist because he had a birthday tattoo, you were correct. But that is anecdotal evidence. And context based.
Unless you’re implying everyone with a birthday tattoo is also a sexual assaulter/rapist, which is certainly a take, then it is anecdotal and doesn’t go against the studys findings.
No I was using this definition:
“Anecdotal evidence consists of personal experience or narrative used to draw a conclusion or make a point.”
If you are asking my opinion on the matter, I would think that a person who has their birthday tattooed on their chests is high probability to be a narcissist.
The country where I live still will not let you donate blood if you have a tattoo.
Is this article even worth my time? Is this research worth anything?
Well yeah, Boomers are still everywhere and they haven’t formed a new opinion since 1997.
