    This reminds me of a rule I made for when I get tattoos: do not get tattoos dedicated to people, and that includes celebrities.

    There are some really badass musicians I admire, ones who even tend to be really nice people in their personal life, and the thought of paying some sort of tribute to them by getting some permanent inking of them somewhere on my leg or something doesn’t sound so bad as I know them now, but I always ponder disasters like this pic.

    Hell, I even avoid it for dead celebrities because you never know what could be dug up, but of course, the chances are slimmer there.

    I give some leeway to works—things like album art and what not, as long as they don’t pull a lostprophets. However, I’d expect there to be no problem with me getting a very popular classic like Master of Puppets tattooed on my back for instance. I was actually planning on doing that with Octopus.



  • I somewhat relate to this from a bit of a different angle.

    I’m pansexual, so truthfully, I don’t actually care what my partner’s gender is itself, but I have a lot of standards which are not inherently related to gender per se. Far more women meet these standards than men, so in a sense, it makes me de-facto exclusively into women.

    To give some examples, I’d love a partner who is vegan, has long hair, and doesn’t have toxic masculinity. A man has the capacity to have all of these traits obviously, but if you think on the chances, I guess that narrows down the gender of my dating pool to be overwhelmingly women.
