Let's assume that the PP meant "don't make any judgments about my tattoo(s)", rather than "spend a lot of time considering what judgment to make about my tattoo(s)".
But that’s impossible. When someone sees your tattoo, they subconsciously make judgements. Unless they stop and spend time on it.
No, it's not. It's a common belief among people who make judgments about X that everybody makes judgments about X and that it's impossible to not make judgments about X. It's not true, though.
Please. Everybody does make judgements about tattoos. You can rail at the skies, but you won’t change this reaction to something that’s low on their radar.
You: Everyone does it!
Me: No, not everyone does it.
You: Yuh huh! Everyone does it!
Sure, I agree. The people who take the time to look at your tattoo and consider its artistic merits, placement, and what it says about you may not (or may) judge you.
What percent of the population do you think this is?

To add. People in this area judge about:
Tattoos
Cars being too expensive
House being too expensive
Clothes being too expensive
Not saving enough
Wearing brand items
Etc etc
The question is I guess why so much obsession to look and act the proper way?

Now this is just a crazy talk people. Ok what I learned from this thread lots of people in this are are judgemental about appearances. Hence all the topics about what car to drive etc.

Well go ahead and try to change human nature as it concerns your tattoo. Me, I’m more concerned about changing the human nature that brought us Trump. YMMV.

And you exclude people from hiring because they have tattoos? That seems problematic.
If I have a choice between tatted and non-tatted, then non-tatted will get the offer, all other things being equal.
I also exclude people who use the word "problematic". I don't want that kind of troublemaker in my organization.
Now you're just trolling.

Oh good grief. If you want to be judgy about tattoos, then go ahead. Just please don't justify it by saying that everyone does it (not everyone does) or that you can't help it (you can) or that it's the fault of the people with tattoos (it's not) or that judgment about tattoos is factually justified (it's not).

Whoosh. You don’t get it. Most people don’t care enough about your tattoo to do anything more than make snap judgements about the style, placement, and underlying motive. Asking them to stop and spend five minutes thinking about your tattoo is not just egotistical, it’s totally unrealistic given peoples’ time constraints and propensity to make snap judgements.
Your tattoo will be judged. Maybe not by anybody here (and why are you making these general observations so personal?). But by the bigger world for sure.
There's the "Everyone does it" argument.[/quot
