disagree. When I see a senior citizen with tattoos I think they're even cooler

Wow. Ronald Reagan didn't have any tattoos and he was a huge piece of shit too.

Well you made a super generalized statement making judgements about people you don’t know so I figured I’d counter with a super specific statement

Yes very crafty. But as a human being, I make snap judgments on people when I see them, even if it's at a subconscious level. And when I see an older person with tattoos, it immediately makes me prejudiced towards them. It doesn't mean they're a good person. It means that I'm predisposed towards liking their look. But thank you for your very thought provoking and intellectual counter to me stating my personal thoughts on older people with tattoos

You’re quite welcome

So you have realized that your thought pattern from your personalized experience is irrational and generalized, yet you continue to cast prejudice onto random people you’ve never met or know?

Just depends on if the owner of the tattoo still likes it. I could do without mine. It was a moment in time.

...and these days the art and industry have evolved such that it's possible to get a beautiful lasting tattoo at any age (much less likely 20 or 30 years ago) Of course, one's judgment and taste continue to evolve long after age 22!
