Seem like your issue is with tattoos in general not just the semi colon.

I'm just glad people have freedom to express themselves and not be oppressed by people who want to silence them.

Addition: I already don't fit into the norm because of my mental illness. I will be judged no matter what I do. So since I don't have to pretend to be someone I'm not, I can be proud of who I really am. I mean, I will never fit into society's little box. Society saw fit to that already.

So I believe that silence is what causes all the stigma, and imo, you're just feeding it.
