she said. “My tattoo isn’t offensive.”
“Uh, it is if one is offended by stoopid. Which I am.”

Don’t feel like the Lone Ranger, you definitely have company.
As for the young lady, if you want to have a tattoo that is your choice but don’t imagine that you get to decide to whom it is offensive.
You have summed up the state of our culture in general.
Via a young relative, I perused a facebook page of tattoo oriented people. It was a non stop whine-fest about how unfair and biased employers were in expecting their employees to meet their appearance standards. Appearance standards which are essentially dictated by the customers/clients of the employer. IOW, those that keep the employer in business.
So, I'm expected to put a pierced and tattooed girl in the front office of my business that services a clientele who find said girl's appearance offense and likely take their business elsewhere. That makes *me* biased and intolerant. But the tattooed covered girl with the ring in her nose, who expects me to lose money on her behalf, is the epitome of tolerance. Nuts.
Then please tell me how it offends you, there is no way that a simple outline could offend someone one and if it does then there are obviously issues there.
