Tattoos People Judge You For: The Brutal Truth
It is roughly estimated that around 32% of American adults have at least one tattoo. And, although tattoo styles are subjective, there are some that a lot of people simply do not like. In fact, some admit they will judge a person for simply having a certain kind of tattoo. Most everyone agrees with Reddit user u/IaniteThePirate who says they despise anyone with hate symbols. And "nazi, racist, white power shit gets the big 'fuck you,'" said u/RoodogNYC. And here are 19 other tattoos that the people of Reddit say they judge others for having: "I try really hard not to judge, but the times I have are when I see Confederate flag tattoos. They just…. Give me the ick." "The 'Only God can judge me' tattoos." "I have some kind of thoughts about (and avoid) people that use the navel or a nipple as some animals wtf already." "'Alpha male' tatted across the back." "Significant others' names. Just don't do it y'all." "I think hentai tattoos are disgusting, and I automatically assume that people who get them are stupid perverts." "Super American tattoos like eagles holding a confederate flag in one talon and a rifle on the other." "A lion wearing a crown… great way to let the world know that you have no personality." "Tattoos of serial killers or serial killer paraphernalia. I saw one artist on Instagram who had a flash sheet of items associated with various killers (like Dahmer's glasses, Bundy's car, etc.). People were RAVING about how much they wanted them. It's disgusting." "I instantly judge people on an anchor with 'I refuse to sink' or something similar. The whole point of an anchor is 👏 to 👏 sink 👏." "That feather turning into a flock of birds that every basic white girl got five years ago." "'90s tribal, I assume you drive a lifted truck with truck nuts." "Any misspelled or wrong translation tattoos." "I don't love weed-related, gaming, Spongebob, and Disney tattoos, but I'm sure most of the people who get them are lovely (and they prob don't like my work either)." "Cherry dripping juice, Winnie the Pooh, and Tweety Bird. Lots of girls got these in high school." "Lion clock roses." "NSFW stuff on visible places 🙅♂️." "Curly mustaches on their finger." And lastly: "Putting your last name on you, cringe." Got any others to add to the list?! Or maybe you want to show us your own, and why it is unique! Use the anonymous comments form below to share:

'Good for rugby': rivals hail Moana Pasifika influence
The rugby world is saluting the strides of Moana Pasifika after the competition's relative newcomers enjoyed their best-ever Super Rugby Pacific campaign. Moana bowed out, somewhat unceremoniously, with a 64-12 loss to the high-flying and powerhouse Hurricanes in Wellington on Saturday night. After joining the competition in 2022, Moana needed to record an unlikely bonus-point win over the Hurricanes to make the finals for the first time. But a seventh-placed showing, after two wooden spoons in 2022 and 2023 before last year's 11th-spot, is rightfully being lauded. "I do want to acknowledge Moana Pasifika and the season that they've had, and the inspiration and the excitement that they brought to our competition," said Hurricanes captain Xavier Numia. "You can see now the amount of fans and people that are behind them and what that brings to rugby in New Zealand. "So whether people were here tonight to support us or Moana, it doesn't matter. "It's good for New Zealand rugby and the brand of rugby that they play and the values that they represent, things that we all have in common. "So real credit to Moana and the things that they're doing on and off the field. They've been a joy to watch this season. There is no doubt about that." But inspirational skipper Ardie Savea, the newly crowned Super Rugby Pacific player of the year, maintains the Pasifika are aiming higher. "The way where you can take the momentum today, what you've done, even just in tonight's game, these moments, what this season has done, where you go from here, we're not satisfied," Savea said. "Our goal was to win the thing and make top six, but that wasn't meant to be."

NSW Blues: Tahs' Super finals hopes buried at Eden Park
With a captain's frank confession that his side wasn't good enough, the NSW Waratahs' Super Rugby Pacific season of promise is officially over. The Waratahs' faint finals hopes ended in despair with an ugly, record-breaking and entirely expected 46-6 loss to the rampant Blues in Auckland on Saturday. The Waratahs needed to defeat the defending champions for the first time at Eden Park in 16 years to keep their spluttering campaign alive. Instead, Dan McKellar's depleted troops, often their own worst enemies needlessly kicking possession away, copped a seven-tries-to-nil drubbing at New Zealand rugby's traditional burial ground. "The Blues were too good, too classy for us," stand-in skipper Hugh Sinclair said. For the opening half an hour, a famous NSW victory looked possible - until the wheels fell off in a sorry, anticlimactic conclusion to what had been the Waratahs' best start to a Super campaign since 2009. But a disastrous, coach-killing four-minute lapse before the interval ultimately cruelled the dreamy visitors, before the Blues ran amok with four tries in a second-half clinic. Despite being without injured stars Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, Max Jorgensen, skipper Jake Gordon and flankers Rob Leota and Charlie Gamble, the Waratahs were right in the must-win game for both sides after rookie flyhalf Jack Bowen slotted a 34th-minute penalty goal to reduce the deficit to four points. Playing with spirit, as they should with their season on the line, the Tahs had winger Andrew Kellaway and rookie scrumhalf Teddy Wilson to thank for desperate try-saving tackles to stay in the contest. But a Bowen blunder, when he slipped and failed to find touch for a clearing kick, and a touch of magic from two-time world player of the player Beauden Barrett blew the game wide open for the Blues in a twinkling. Two tries in three minutes to brilliant centre Rieko Ioane, the second after the halftime siren when Waratahs opposite Henry O'Donnell couldn't handle a probing kick from Barrett near halfway, suddenly extended the Blues' tenuous lead from 10-6 to 24-6. There was no coming back for the Waratahs when fullback Corey Evans strolled over untouched shortly after the break to extend the Blues' lead to 31-6. The Blues' sixth try, to hooker Ricky Riccitelli, was more than academic. It virtually secured a precious bonus point to pile the pressure on Moana Pasifika to produce a similar victory later on Saturday against the Hurricanes in Wellington to deny Vern Cotter's side a place in the finals. The hosts' seventh five-pointer was more significant to Ioane, who equalled All Blacks great Doug Howlett's Blues try-scoring record with 55 after beating three Waratahs defenders to another menacing Barrett kick. The Blues' biggest-ever victory margin over the Waratahs did not look likely when Bowen's two first-half penalties almost wiped out Mark Tele'a's 11th-minute try, then Ioane's first strike off a deft AJ Lam grubber. But an hour later and the clinical Blues were anxiously awaiting their finals fate. "They had a couple of opportunities in that first half, a couple of those kicks just went to hand and they're good enough to finish them and they're ruthless enough to put us away in that second half, and we just couldn't get a sniff," Sinclair said. "Their defence was great and, yeah, back to the drawing board for us, I guess." The Blues were left sweating on the fourth-placed Hurricanes denying Moana an unlikely bonus-point triumph away in the NZ capital that would push the title-holders through to a sudden-death final against the table-topping Chiefs in Hamilton. "A lot of us will be keeping a close eye on it," said Blues captain Patrick Tuipulotu. "But it's out of our hands. "But if we get the chance, we'll be ready."

Blues blitz Waratahs to keep Super Rugby Pacific playoff hopes alive
Blues 46 Waratahs 6 Don't write off the Blues yet. Sure, it's been a frustrating, at times bewildering, descent from last year's breakthrough title. Sure, the Blues need the Hurricanes to defeat Moana Pasifika in Wellington (or deny the visitors a bonus-point win) tonight to scrape into the Super
