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.


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.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

In the mid 90’s tattoos became super trendy and now have gained acceptance as something people do. My opinion is, especially when the tats are crawling up peoples’ necks and onto their faces that they truly look awful, like some sort of disease.

Would I get a tattoo, no? Do I like them on others? Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

I have never thought that they were particularly creative, if anything I always felt quite the opposite.

That feeling was confirmed when I was invited to a tattoo expo with a friend, there were perhaps 70 exhibitors, and all of them had the exact same or highly derivative trendy designs, and I think two of the exhibitors had unique art. That really said a lot to me.

Yes. This is definitely also part of my disdain for them.

Not really unpopular. While tattoos, even visible tattoos, have gotten more popular and accepted, I’m pretty sure that ‘neck/face tattoos are awful’ is still pretty well-represented. It doesn’t help that most face/neck tattoos are pretty bad examples of tattoos in general, but the kinds of people getting face/neck tattoos don’t seem to have the best taste anyways.

The epitome of narcissism and the acme of vulgarity. Graffiti on the walls of the temple. You do you, but no thanks...

Lazy troll is lazy...

So I made this comment to remind everyone blocking on Lemmy is easy and convenient.

Are you really blocking this guy because you clicked on his post, and didn't like their opinion, in !unpopular_opinion?
