Shout out to the tattoo artist who refused to give me a tattoo when I wanted one. I was pissed off at my parents and would have really regretted it. Instead he got me to do a belly button piercing, and said if I wanted a tattoo when I wasn't super pissed off he or one of the artists would love to help me pick the…

Not for nothing, but he didn’t tell you that you couldn’t get a neck tattoo, he said he wouldn’t give you a neck tattoo.

He also had every right to object doing it.

Female artist here. Don’t tattoo faces, necks, hands or genitals as standard. My choice. If anyone wants to bitch they can go elsewhere because guess what, artists are not machines and are allowed to have some agency over who and what they tattoo. Just as I don’t need to tattoo a swastika and white power slogans on…

As you acknowledged, you have the right to get whatever you want tattooed wherever you want. But you don’t have the right to have your tattoo done by that specific tattoo artist. He’s a professional and as a professional he has a certain amount of discretion over what he does.

Yeah, as a heavily tattooed woman I agree. I’ve had most artists make recommendations about placement and style to me. In fact, I’ve had sort of the anti-Dan experience (with a guy who also refuses to do hand and neck tattoos on people who aren’t already covered in tats, btw—it’s seriously a common policy) where my…

I hate to be Team Tattoo Artist, but just like you can decide where you want your tattoos, he can also decide what work he’ll stand behind and what he WON’T. Clearly you have artistic differences, as evident by your contempt of his other work. So why would you use him in the first place?

I understand why this was an upsetting experience, but tattoo artists refuse jobs all the time for all sorts of reasons. Many have a no necks, no hands policy - it’s quite common. And, as you discovered, what’s off-limits to one artist is totally okay with another - you were able to get exactly what you wanted in the…

“A field that was of no interest to most females up to a few years ago”

Okay fair enough. Then the next question should be why aren’t more women interested in tech? Is it that it is uninteresting to them? Every woman I know uses tech. A lot of them love it and can’t wait for the next big thing to come out. That’s anecdotal but it isn’t just men buying this stuff. It is possible the…

I should think “Women just don’t want to be in tech and there’s no sexism involved in that” is ridiculous enough that the problems are self-apparent.

I was going to type out a long response to how ridiculous your argument was, that the only thing that matters is if discrimination is explicit and arbitrary, but instead let me offer a hearty belly laugh at how ridiculous your comment is.

Thank you for publishing Scott’s in-uniform picture. So many other outlets purposely published less flattering photos of him. Not only did Scott not deserve to die at the hands of a crazed cop, but he deserves the respect he is due for serving our country.

He was let go by Davos. He is still rowing. It is my wish that every time they show people on boats Gendry nonchalantly rows by in the background. Like the scene with Tyrion and Jorah on the smoking sea, what is that in the background? Just Gendry. At hardhome, Oh no do the white walkers have a row boat? Nope, Just…

..... The space between a normal douche whining on an airplane and Kate Moss calling you a basic bitch for refusing her alcohol is so wide you could bury the Mariana trench in it sideways and still have space for a couch.

With respect, you could have your eyes glued to home plate, but if you think you could dodge a bat flying at you at that speed, you are fucking kidding yourself.

Is it ok to be against rape but still think this sucks

“ Im not racist! I threaten to lynch all kinds of people! Asians, Mexicans, Jews, Muslims, non-white atheists, Catholics, Gays, Lesbians, those Transylvanias what dress like women, and sometimes regular women if they don’t appreciate me for my winnin’ personality. See?! All kinds of people!”

When I saw this, I thought I should share my story but didn’t because it’s so fucked up it’s almost unbelievable.

I did propose to her four times over 18 years, and she turned me down each time.
