I've been toying with the idea of getting a double arm band tattoo like that in the picture below (although with the bands slightly thinner and a bit higher on the arm, about mid-bicep). As a gay man, I like how it reminds me of an equal sign (and therefore symbolizes equality in my mind, and serves as a reminder that I deserve no less dignity than anyone else), and I want some sort of tat on my left upper arm (to balance out the one on my right). I've asked family and friends and gotten pretty consistently lackluster reactions, and I think it's because it reminds them too much of a douchey tribal tattoo. Are they right? Should I go back to the drawing board?

Tats are your own deal- fuck what anybody likes. Do YOU want to see this everyday? Does it mean anything to YOU? Does it say who you are? Tell a story/message?

Ok, those are dipshit responses. No one is an island. We all live in a society, and one in which appearance very obviously matters. Hell, this whole website is basically dedicated to appearance. It's like when white people say that racism doesn't exist when it very obviously does. Appearance matters, and I was asking for honest reactions, not disingenuous gaslighting.
