Think of it like having your name, address written across your forehead. On its own a tattoo is benign but it's another item that can be used to personally identify you

All the tattooed people also make non-tatooed folks easier to identify, unfortunately.

Hmm, but there are already other things that make me stand out like being tall and masc + long hair. Would tattoos make a meaningful difference at that point?

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 months ago

Yup. Depends on how paranoid you want to be.

IMHO if those in power want to identify you they will, tattoos or not.
