I used to think this way, but I no longer feel the signal to noise ratio provides meaningful data, in particular because people do rash or unreasoned things and develop odd habits (that they later grow out of) in their 20s. That part of your adult life is about learning, after all. (I also don’t believe there isn’t anything intrinsically wrong with tattoos.)
Moreover, having a tattoo isn’t necessarily a measure of low impulse control. I have friends who have ruminated for years about a certain tattoo. Plus, imputing bad decision making to having a tattoo is more a (cultural) projection on your part than anything else.
- vasco 2y agoBad or good decisions are always subjective to the goals and context, so of course I'm projecting my opinion when commenting on a comment section with my opinion. I do think less of someone with tattoos than someone without, and I've tried often not to, and have many friends with tattoos and would never ever say anything to anyone to make them feel bad about it. But my brain judges.

- maronato 2y agoYou say: > If you want to broadcast your low impulse control and bad decision making history, be my guest. > I do think less of someone with tattoos And then: > would never ever say anything to anyone to make them feel bad about it. Which one is it?
- vasco 2y agoIf you don't see a difference in a thought process in your head that you can meta talk about online vs going to someone and telling them they are less-than or to put them down in another way like not hiring them or something I'm not sure what to say. One is a thought process and a description of it, the other is an offense or something illegal.
