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

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?

[–] [email protected] 7 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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

It's just an added identifier. One extra point to match to you if it were to show up somewhere. This is a big reason to not get face/hand tattoos - they're difficult to hide out in public.

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