The only way this is "political" is in a twisted american way where the only difference between the two parties available is that the dems are somehow lefties because of their more accepting views on social matters like abortion and the lgbt community, compared to the utterly deranged nazi right. Well newsflash, acceptance of peoples' appearance is fundamental understanding of human rights and there's nothing wrong with expressing one's dislike of a certain style. One does not negate the other. Political is class warfare, freedom of speech and expression, not some stupid tattoos.

First of all I didn't say any of these things. You assumed both. Personally I don't like tagging, which is not the same as graffiti. Graffiti art can be great. There's street art out there that's breathtaking. Same for tattoos. For starters I never distinguished between men and women. You did that. I have nothing against tattoos as a general concept. I'm not a fan of this particular style of cliché designs scattered about.

Here's my perspective on tattoos if you're interested: In western cultures tattoos started out as distinguishers of society's outcasts, prisoners etc. Their popularisation in the last few decades began from successful individuals who somehow "made it" in life. Rock stars, football players etc, usually people from lower or middle class families who made a lot of money. For them unconsciously tattoos in visible places signify that they are successful in an unorthodox way, it shows to everyone that they can be different, they can stand out because they have money and they don't need an employer/ master, they don't need to look presentable, wear a suit (uniform) to work etc. In essence they're free from the shackles of labour. Tattoos became a sign of individuality and success in that way. Nowadays that everyone and their mother has tattoos and nobody cares anymore, in order to serve their purpose they need to be more and more outlandish and provocative, hence the face tattoo fad etc. I predict that in a few years from now kids will reject the concept and it might even be cool not to have them.

The meme suggests that this beautiful woman made herself less attractive by getting tattoos. People who tend to agree with that statement are not necessarily nazis fascists sexists Trump voters rapists church goers and so on, despite the fact that many of that ilk share similar sentiments (but for completely different reasons). Believe it or not, not everyone likes this aesthetic and this is not political.

Well to be fair nobody here told her anything, she probably doesn't know that some idiots are talking about her in some obscure corner of the internet. Way I see it we all should be able to criticise anything. Tattoos are a form of art and people are allowed to have opinions on it. Same goes for the "art" of tagging.

I saw that more like a criticism of the tattooing style, not her life decisions. Your body my choice is downright authoritarian. I don't see how it relates to this.

I'm happy for her, she can do whatever she wants. She's still hot af. And people can watch whatever shit they want and they can have all the dumb opinions they want. That doesn't change how I see it, and I like to think that my criticism is constructive.

She would look way better without the tats. Even this shitty building would look better without this artless crap. And how is this a political take?
