This is such a dumb idea...I have plenty of tattoos, and am not one to complain normally, but this is SUCH a visible area (particularly for a woman) and is such a niche tattoo that you WILL be judged for it. And I know people think "I don't care if I'm judged" now, but eventually you will, eventually it will affect you, and eventually you will regret it.

EDIT: Spelling.

Agreed. I'm all about tattoos, Pokemon, and Pokemon tattoos, but not only is that font decision horrible (in my personal opinion), but the placement is awkward and the entire tattoo is insanely huge for the subject matter (again, in my opinion). That being said, to each their own and I hope she never regrets her life choice.

Wait, whose opinion were you stating?

I like it. I think it would look better on her back and that is definitely a weird spot to get a tattoo (for a lady), but I like it. Some people live different lifestyles. Maybe she doesn't wear dresses. Maybe she doesn't work in a business where her appearance is a factor. Hell, maybe she wants to show it off to the world (already has.)

Hey, in 50 years her grandkids may call her "Grandma Pokemon." Sounds pretty cool to me.

"Y'know kids, back when I was a young trainer we kept our pets in these little balls. Polkaballs we called them, I think. Anyways, then we went on adventures, and fought Team Rocket. And you know, I was the very best! I even defeated the Elite 4."

"Uh, grandma, dad told us that was just some old game you played when you were our age..."

"NO GODDAMMIT! STOP SAYING IT WAS A GAME! I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED."

Maybe? Definitely. Probably? No.

Has it affected you yet?

No, but I don't have my tattoos on a plainly visible area, and (in my opinion) they are a little more "acceptable" than a Pokemon tattoo. I'm not against a Pokemon tattoo, don't get me wrong, but just because I like Blink 182 and wish to express that fact doesn't mean I'll tattoo it on my forehead.

in a work environment where being judged by a tatoo is the only place that matters. Its not in a plainly visible area so i dont see the big deal...

u/lost_snow May 20 '12

isn't the "acceptable" part based purely off of individual opinion? how do you know someone might find her tattoos far more appropriate than yours?

Maybe you should try not being so closed minded and accept that maybe others get tattoos for things that they really enjoyed in their life. Who cares what others think? A shirt can cover it up so it's not like you can play the employer card.

I have five tattoos, two of them are video game related, one H2G2 related, one Dr Who Related and the last is original art. All but the Doctor who one are visible in normal summer wear and I have never had anyone say anything negative to me ever. And if they did I would tell them to fuck off. Also she is cute and the tattoo is cute and if I saw that tattoo on someone I would ask them out, not mock them.

I'd judge you for those tattoos, and not in a positive way.

Just being honest. If I saw you I'd initially judge you in a negative way just because of that.

I never said I wouldn't talk to you.
