No Desire For A Tattoo

Last night I went to a gathering at a friends house. Being the courious person that I am I took a quick poll on how many people in attendance had a tattoo. EVERYONE except for me had one. Someone asked me why I didn't and I responded that I have no desire to. She loudly responded that I should not be judgemental towards people with tattoos! Did I miss something? How is me having no desire to get a tattoo being judgemental? Many people asked similar questions, like.... "are you a obama supporter", "do you have or want children", " do you believe in marriage"? So I ask again BC, how was I being judgemental?

Doesn't sound like you were being judgmental to me. Maybe there was something in your tone or in the look on your face that suggested disapproval.-
Maybe she was just eating a very salty pickle while being asked the question. -
I have been told that I have angry eyebrows lol!

YOU'RE AN OBAMA-SUPPORTING, ANTI-MARRIAGE, CHILDREN-DISLIKING TATTOO-HATER!
Umm ... I mean ... don't let them get to you. I don't want tattoos, either.-
Funny.... I"m not any of those but I really don't like the idea of anything being permenant... I think I have commitment issues
-
I have a tattoo but my hubby said if I wanted another one to have someone draw me the picture and put it in a frame. When I got tired of it just throw it away and get a new one. He is anti tattoo.

Hater! Joking
As long you didn't go:
"ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww ink is for ho's and druggies"
I see nothing wrong at all is saying you don't want a tattoo.-
I didn't even though a few of them were questionable lol!
-
lol

I have none. Could never decide on a single tattoo, and don't wanna end up with 20 tattoos, making a new one each time I see something cooler than the ones I've already made. Also, my father wouldn't like that at all.
-
I totally agree... I have a bad habit of chaning my mind often. I would have to get tattoo lazered off because I would change my mind!

Judgmental - Inclined to make judgments, especially moral or personal ones
Yo! I've experienced the same reaction right here on this forum. I have no desire to scar my body by having it tattooed either. I don't give a dang what other people do to theirs. I have girlfriends who were tattooed years ago. They now have aged and their bodies naturally show the signs of childbearing on their breasts bellies and buttocks. The appearance of their sagging skin, fat deposits, stretch marks and cellulite decorated with tattoos led them to say to me that they wish they have never been tattooed. When I shared that in a forum thread -- oy vey! There was a flip out and a lot of blah, blah, blah about the historical significance and symbolism of tattoos.-
I love witty banter but SHeesh! I hate being attacked. When she said it, it was in front of like 20 people. I was embarrassed to say the least!
-
I don't embarrass easily, if at all. And in situations where another woman attempts to trigger me in this manner, I simply say nothing, stare intensely at their most pronounced figure fault and laugh softly, until they blush or back-off.
-
I like that! I will have to use that!:)
-
It works very well. Say nothing, laugh softly, and just stare at the part of their body that's least attractive. Only truly dull of wit females have to be dragged off by their male partners and have what happened explained to them. Everyone else always gets it ... lol
-
Why Bother?
You either like tattoos or not. -
@crpitt
Bother with what? How to respond to a verbal attack is what LSKcrochet and I are discussing here. -
Yes in response to the verbal attack.
It sounds rather passive aggressive to me. -
Really? How clever of you to notice. I have great success putting down females who attack me in the manner LSKcrochet described above in the OP.
-
I wasn't aiming to be clever at all.
-
In your case I think "cleverness" is inherent as you have such a high IQ, and your counseling training comes into play as a factor too.
-
I wouldn't bother putting down females in that manner. I think the person in the original OP was just being a bitch and I would of told her to sod off.
My IQ isn't that high either. -
wow, I go away to get a bite to eat and missed all of this!
@Crpitt...I'm in school for counseling right now.... where did you get your degree and what capacity do you counsel? I want to do Marriage/Family Counseling.
@Timethief... I totally get where you were coming from. And I'm totally going to use this approach over the past approach of slappin a "B" that I use to use lol! -
It is a diploma not a degree, not sure what its equivalent is the US?
Volunteer counselling at the mo, will be starting at the local cancer support centre very soon. -
Oh, I'm working towards getting a Master's in Counseling. How long is the diploma program? I think there is some form of a associates degree in the US but it doesn't allow you many options.
-
Diploma was 2 years, part time. I can go straight into the Masters program but not sure I want to yet. Deciding on whether to go into Child and Adolescent counselling or Art Therapy. So just going to do volunteer stuff for a year and see where I like the most.

I don't like anything foreign on my body. I've never worn a ring or watch and would dispense with clothes altogether if I could. I want to be as simple and naked as possible, in a spiritual as well as physical sense.
-
Well, we are birds of a feather. My jewelry is kept in a box. I don't even wear wedding rings. I hate wearing watches too.
-
-
Based on your side of the story, you weren't.
On that note, I'm not a tattoo person. -
clearly there is something missing so I am going to have to go with your tone or expression as nothingprofound said. -
Don't care what they said, I think Tattoo is deformation for our beautiful body.-
It's not deformation, it's added color. Form is not changed at all.

-
I think she was just defensive about her tatoos. Maybe she was used to negative responses. Your response was neutral. Call me a prude, but I have no desire to have a tatoo or any piercings beyond one in my ears, either. -
Am I being judgemental ?-
If the big red "x" is apart of the tattoo then noooooooooo
-
-
My tattoo is cool.
But I'm not judgemental at all, I still like untattooed people. -
I change my mind often and for ME I know that I would get a tattoo only to get it lazered off at a later date. Now if that showed in my experession then I guess I'm judgemental towards my own indecisiveness lol!
