+1, the minimum wage cashier is not there to engage you in conversation. Leave them alone. Their life is miserable enough without being coerced into making pleasant small talk with some customer who probably earns 10x what they make. Leave them alone.

Treating a cashier as a human being is good. Pissing off jackelopes in line is a bonus.

Small talk slows down cashier work, which is effectively a pay raise.
Don't blame customers for owners not hiring enough cashier staff.

"I generally give people a pass and politely explain that my tattoos are for ME , that some have meaning, that some are there merely because I find them beautiful, and that generally speaking tattooed people do NOT wish to discuss their tattoos with others. If they persist after that, the conversation tends to go down hill very quickly"

" also think that a lot of tattooed people don't actually mind being asked what their tattoos mean because it means that person is taking interest in a part of their life and aren't just shitting on them because such and such doesn't like tattoos."

If they're so poorly paid, why do they spend a lot of money on tattoos?

No. I have tattoos and I love seeing other people's tattoos and hearing about them. It's a club. You can also ask if you're outside the club and no one is thinking you're flirting.

This makes me laugh.
I’ve heard that before as well, but to me it’s like wearing a tshirt with some kind of message or phrase on it and then pretending to be “offended” when someone asks what it means or what it says.
Dude—you put it out there like an attention-seeking ad. On your arm. In permanent ink. If it wasn’t on your hip or chest or some discreet location beneath your clothes, then maybe don’t feign shock and offense when someone asks about it.

This comment is demeaning and doesn’t make you the ally that you think it does.

Depends.
Did you run your fingers along the tattoo on his arm as you asked about it?

You’ve misjudged me. I’m not anyone’s ally. I’m a cruel narcissistic *****, only out for myself.

Yeah right, I've never met someone who got a tattoo and didn't want to talk about it. I'm sure there are some influencers out there who complain about people asking about their special tattoo, but it's all just about attention seeking.

This thread is SO depressing! No wonder the US has a loneliness epidemic

That's true. If you touched the tattoo while asking about it, then yes flirting!

[Anonymous]

you inscribe words on a visible part of your body and then dislike being asked about it? I have a hard time making sense of that.

Quora? Really? You might as well post something from Reddit next.

Many tattooed people dislike this question. Just because you are a nosy nancy asking everyone and their dog about sh*t that's none of your business doesn't mean people don't notice or get annoyed by it.

As many as many. Imagine that.
