I'd like to think that if we're going to be truly open-minded that we'd accept that everyone has a right to their own opinion.

It's no different than saying one doesn't like a certain style of clothing. So what, right? Yet when I've seen tattoo threads there has invariably been a sort of well... atmosphere where it doesn't feel safe to express the opinion that one simply doesn't care for them.

I've hesitated posting on this topic before for that very reason. But today I shall be brave.

Personally, I'm not into them. I've seen nice ones, but most I've seen really aren't and simply look like bruising from any distance. I'm no conformist --color hair I love (mine is purple), but I simply don't care for tattoos. So what? If that makes me unacceptable, so be it.
