Personally, I hate tatoos. They seem to be an ugly bruise to me, no matter what they are. A dead skin zone. The idea that a man from ancient times shows how unintelligent a behavior they are to me. Not trying to offend but that is how I feel.
Not meaning to offend is just that. Giving an opinion knowing it’s not going to be well accepted. That is not the reason for stating my opinion. It is to log the thoughts about the matter from another point of view, so it is not invisible.
Stating something to offend is a deliberate action to create an negative reaction, which is what you are having.
I actually have no interest in your reaction.
