Bro... I just opened Lemmy. At least let me wake up first...

Muppet looks like a damn muppet.

Oh god mark this as NSFL please

They hate consenting adults.

Seriously, she looks like she's about 16 in the first photo.

Because he hates hags ^/s^

The person everyone forces you to be

The first photo is literally just a human without changing their natural appereance...

Not getting tattoos, peircings, etc is just as ok as getting them.

And then everyone clapped.

This person you see but have minimal interaction with a few times a week for 13 weeks really screams parental figure.

They think education is flawed. It's part of the GOP indoctrination. What you're saying is morbidly comical, but the real reason is how the Right regard education.

And wild that he thinks that the professors are giving out fashion advice rather than calculus and shit.

And it wasn't professors who taught her to respect and value people who weren't like her, it was just meeting them.

That's a bingo!

Its more like:

After 2 years of no longer being completely within the social circle of and under the financial and physical control of Christian Nationalists / Super Fundies.

Plus her piercings are amazing

As a man who currently plans to marry a woman that chooses to dress very modestly and doesn't like tattoos, that woman looks great and beauty comes in many forms. Don't be a fool and enjoy all beauty. The tree's, the human's, the music's. Life is better if you allow yourself to enjoy "things" for their kind of beauty and not complain about the lack of some other kind.

I personally don’t see the appeal, though to each their own.

Imagine if Americans spent as much effort wanting a better life for everyone as they do keeping that one transgeder person from playing in sports... Y'all would be a utopia.

Or genitalia.

Reading is the problem. Reading leads to wokeism. Reading is now banned.

Yeah it’s that last bit that keeps me from getting any

But there are studies that say tattooing provides women and particularly survivors of sexual trauma a sense of ownership and authority over their bodies.

Thank you. I was wondering what I was missing when thinking all this through. I don't have any myself, but have wondered about the range of motivations for folks that get more than one. I figured it was at least tribal and wealth (expensive, can't be stolen) expression. Body modification as a way to exercise autonomy and agency - that absolutely tracks with folks I've met.

They want the freedom to judge and ridicule others and the freedom to dictate who gets rights... Not actual freedom for everyone.

That being said I also don’t believe it makes sense to tell others what they can and can’t do with their body.

To be fair, the OP is not actually doing that, "should we ban it" is obviously a joke. He's just saying it's unattractive. Similar comments have been made about all kinds of people/aesthetics with far more vitriol than the OP (a random example I witnessed personally some years back was someone saying men under 6' tall should kill themselves, and getting plenty of agreement within their own bubble (was on Tumblr, iirc)).

The OP is honestly a 'whatever' post to me, doesn't move the needle at all, and honestly doesn't deserve to be engaged with at all. And the response is just an extremely basic 'they don't like you either' that's just as cringy as the OP imo, if you're looking at both of them without bias toward either point of view.

Also regardless of one’s thoughts on the look, I find it hard to believe 18 years of loving parents had no influence on the outcome. She’s not a totally new brain/person after two years.

Edit: And also how does this guy explain all the samples of women that didn’t get tattoos after going to college? Why am I even engaging with this content like he’s made some innocent statistics error.

My only issue with that much ink at an early age is how you change as a person during the years from 18-28. How I was at 20 was pretty different from me at 28 and very different from me 38.

My take pretty much anything is if I don't have to do anything, then do whatever the fuck you want as long as there is content and not harmful to other people.

sounds like... sounds like your attracted to people over the age of 18... you monster.

Mood. My local tattoo shop has $40 days where you can pick a premade tattoo. I have a few in different areas. But I really can't afford sleeves or a chest tattoo. The only tattoo I paid full price was for $80 and its a Capricorn on my wrist

I have a change jar that I put my coins in and, unless I decided on something completely stupid that'll cost me >$1000, it usually has enough for a nice tattoo by the end of the year.

Have friends who are just starting out as tattoo artists who need the practice and will do the work super cheap.

The photo has been edited. She actually looks better in real life.

There's a bit of an NSFW link at the top

People jerk off, it's alright friend

No, no, please, creep on.

Awliiv is her name

I was wondering if this was two different people
