yes, they are explicitly going after people with tattoos https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/ice-list-venezuelan-immigrants-gang-members-1235306641/
"I don't like what they put on their own bodies so I don't care what happens to them" must be the most brain-dead sentence I've read all year
stupid. half the college grads I know, a good number of vets, and none who have ever been in trouble, ever, have tattoos. you are just sick in the head. I don't have tattos, don't like them, but I don't choose my friends by it, or use it as a moral compass.
i know no good people named shuhsha, and one bad one, therefore we should fucking find and kill them, lock you up and let you suffer the most inhumane fate known to mankind.
yeah it sounds pretty stupid?
or are you different? this isn’t a real argument, it’s in bad faith as a matter of category.
man i’ll stop feeding the troll but whoever you are i hope you know you’re stupid, vile fucking human garbage and partly responsible for the destruction of western society, not whatever weird bizzaro rhetoric you might have in turn to explain why it isn’t “like the good ol days”.
i’d type more but im frankly not even sure you can fucking read, idiot. lmfao.
No, the downvotes are because you said
It's fine to not like tattoos. Other people in this thread have also said that they also don't like tattoos, but they're not being downvoted. You're the one arguing in bad faith here.
There's always been healthy discussion online about people not liking tattoos, regretting a particular one, discussing the costs of removal, and discouraging others. There's no conspiracy pushing for one side over the other. What people do agree on is that detention based on the presence of tattoos alone, is wrong.

bullshit
So where does the jump from "people that I should avoid" to rounding up and being sent to concentration camps happen? I don't really care if you avoid people with tattoos, but where do you get off using that as a basis for persecution?
Those things are the same thing.
It's funny how you don't see the connect between labeling all tattooed people as gangbaners and labeling Jews as Communists or the lack of due process in both cases.
I never liked bootlicking, individualistic, snowflake fascists and they're more-often-than-not an indicator of people that I should avoid.
Louder brother.
And he's a little bitch scared of tattoos on top of all that.
Hope he never has to go to a hospital. Like 90% of the staff have at least one.
I really hope you're a child. If you are an adult with this opinion, I feel bad for anybody you come into contact with
It's not foreign, it's just sad.
I never liked glasses... People who wears glasses think they make them look more inteligent, and it's true.
And that's why I'm OK with putting every g*asses wearer in the meat grinder.
Yeah, totally normal train of thoughts
Holiday in Cambodia!
No, they got it just fine, it's just a dumb opinion to have.
Everyone: stop feeding the troll or at least treat them like the lame troll they are. A 22 day old account whose first comment can be summarized as "I'm okay with people with tattoos going to concentration camps".
There are many very stupid people in the world, but few people this stupid. It's likely a troll.
Edit: see, even their response to this comment is designed to encourage engagement by making an easily verified false claim. Obvious troll is obvious and not even particularly creative.
LOL you're going to have to up your game kid, your trolling is much too obvious. I suggest sandwiching the baiting comments you want people to "rage correct" between plausible statements a person of normal intelligence would make. When every comment makes you appear implausibly stupid, it just becomes laughable. Once someone points out how you're trolling, you've hit the rocks.
Is this satire? I genuinely can't tell
or, ya know, you and people like you are & always have been gigantic blights on the ass cheek of human civilization.
ooooOOOO now i’m discriminating against YOU how dare I???
For clarity - you would be okay with someone being sent to one of these facilities if they had a little tattoo of a peace sign on there leg? Or a butterfly on their arm? Or does it need to be a sleeve of demonic symbols? This sounds like it could be a spectrum thing and some of us aren't understanding your comments. It sounds like you're okay with someone being sent to one of these horrific facilities merely beacuse you don't like something they did.

I hope you successfully avoid everyone with tattoos forever, but it's not because they're the "unsavory" ones here
Okay, definitely not satire.
You're allowed to say whatever you like, but you're still a bigot.
You joined April 2, 2025. I believe you are just here for thread drift, purposely derailing the topic into a meaningless discussion of tattoos by sharing ragebait.
Uh-oh! Looks like the mods agreed! lol. Thanks mods!
I'm honestly ok with sending you to a concentration camp with no regards for your safety or wellbeing after that comment.
Tattoos are a form of free speech that applies to one's body, and should be afforded all of the protections of the first amendment.
I cannot believe we're having this conversation in 2025.
Gross. Actually revolting mentality.
Well by that logic I don't particularly like beards therefor, all men with beards must be avoided.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out, Because I was not a socialist.
Can i ask where in the world you're from? I'm personally from Denmark where tattoos are pretty common -- i have some myself. But as i've come to learn, the perception of tattoos differ widely around the world.
