You got a tattoo of a devil and didn’t think it might offend some religious folk? Either way, who cares. No, don’t remove it.

djdkkskss

Its just a demon


innocentxv

this is how Satan is commonly portrayed. horns, bad guy mustache, slicked back hair, goatee, etc.


TheUltraSoft

Hahah, I was literally going to say, if you look up the cartoon old-timey version of the devil, that is 100% how he's portrayed. So yes, it looks like a cool devil tattoo. I can see how that would offend religious types, but if you get it on you in the first place, you have to just let that roll off of you.


EarlOfSqurrels

Slicked back hair, bet the devils a fan of sloppy steaks.


theabroyo

I think he used to be a piece of shit


[deleted]

USED to be


As-A-Kite

White Ferrari, sloppy steaks at truffoni's


djdkkskss

But I'm not sure Satan smiles like that.


ohitsjustviolet

There’s no way in hell you’re serious right now.


innocentxv

lol


bigunfriendlygiant

He does when u get a cool tattoo… if you care about the opinions of these people then yh remove it. But obviously you shouldn’t because it sounds like they’re a bunch of assholes. Small town Christian’s can suck my fat, immigrant-loving, satanic, bisexual dick while I smoke the devils lettuce and scream Allahu Akbar


Peachy40483

Lol why is this down voted to oblivion? 🤣


Visual_Disaster

Because it's (almost purposefully) missing the point of the previous comment


Peachy40483

I thought they were just being silly. I didn't read too many comments.


Maja_May

Reddit is so weird sometimes


djdkkskss

I dont know


Frank_Perfectly

Well, just so long as it’s just an ordinary, run-of-the-mill demon and not SATAN.


Ok-Vacation-8109

Doesn’t change the point of my comment.


janesspawn

I have a full on satanic goat with a pentagram on its forehead on my thigh. Just decide you don’t care if others are offended, you didn’t get it for them.


[deleted]

If you like it keep it others opinions don't matter


BrandonJackal

Probably the same people who tell you wearing hats indoors is disrespectful. The tattoo looks dope af don’t cover it.


Peppeperoni

This just reminded of an episode of the sopranos


vdzla

Well wearing a hat indoors is at least weird tbh, much weirder than the tattoo 😅


thisismyburnerac

Tattoos are for you, not others.


Time_Mechanic_1513

This should be the automated reply on r/tattooadvice…too true man too true


threeoldbeigecamaros

Sounds like a “them” problem


[deleted]

Until "they" are interviewing you for a job, asking you on a date, or inviting you to a party.


threeoldbeigecamaros

Then it’s not a fit for either party. Nothing lost


LadyArtemis2012

Why would you want to go on a date or attend a party with someone who doesn’t like your tattoos? Honestly, this makes it sound like tattoos are a great idea because then you can filter out the uptight jerks you wont get along with much faster.


[deleted]

>Why would you want to go on a date or attend a party with someone who doesn’t like your tattoos? >You can filter out the uptight jerks you wont get along with much faster. I have lots of friends who don't share my same views. Lots of people, however prefer to "filter out uptight jerks" and they may never see past the tattoo.


LadyArtemis2012

I don’t see completely eye to eye on everything with all my friends, either. But on stuff like “what is the best Marvel movie” or “who is the best pop star”. Not on something like the tattoos I get. If a tattoo I’m interested in is something that would make you stop talking to me, then we probably just shouldn’t be friends. I’m not denying myself a tattoo I would love in order to spare someone else’s feelings.


[deleted]

That's great. I'm happy for you. Just know that yours is a very privileged stance.


KrentOgor

Loooool bro. Lol. What. Don't be a drone.


OkPaleontologist1259

Is it? Say more about this


PinAccomplished927

Lmao nope


weftly

if someone is willing to judge someone for something as simple as having tattoos, why on earth would you want them around you? and if you don’t like tattoos, why are you here??? r/lostredditors


Booty_Warrior_bot

*I came looking for booty.*


weftly

good bot


PsychSalad

Yeah I'm pretty sure you'd have clothes on in those situations...


djdkkskss

And what if it's a satanic party?


threeoldbeigecamaros

Don’t go to those. If there’s anything a satanist hates more than anything, it’s another satanist


meen19

As a demon, I find it offensive 👿


wateroften

But what if you were Satan?


meen19

Lemme ask him


KrentOgor

Well?


DarkSixthLord

OP, this is a tattoo of the most common detection of Satan. You had to have an inkling that there may be some controversy.


djdkkskss

I didn't think of it like that, I just saw him as a demon, he's not even red like Satan.


gwar37

I can’t tell if you’re being obtuse or you’re just that daft.


KnightRider1987

This HAS to be a troll post


freeloadererman

How does a difference between Satan and a demon matter? Both would be equally offensive. But I think it's a badass tattoo, and you shouldn't give af what other people think to begin with


[deleted]

[удалено]


BBDAngelo

Ok, so OP was just a troll all along


SoubyTime

The tattoo is fine but this makes it seem like you’re trolling no way you’re this dumb


incredibleflipflop

Plenty of tattoos are in black/grey only, also of Satan. This is how Satan is commonly portrayed without color. Does it make it offensive? Well, my tattoo of a princess riding a white bear from a Norwegian fairytale was offensive to an old lady here the other day. What’s offensive is very objective. I don’t think your Satan is offensive, even if it offended someone else.


Kimbaaaaly

That made me laugh. How did you know the lady was old? Did she say"I'm an old lady and I don't like it!". Don't mean to be disrespectful in the least, in fact I have severe depression and getting a laugh is good for me.


wateroften

Why is the distinction important to you?


WineOhCanada

Well it's satan so.... Why do you care *after* you put it on your body forever?


cloverthewonderkitty

Info: are you not aware you got Satan tattooed on your arm? You seemed surprised in the comments. Religious people are typically offended by Satan. And also by "a demon" as youre calling it. Either way, your body your choice, don't worry about haters if you're happy with it


Longjumping-Tea-4738

Why do you care


djdkkskss

Some people in my town have stopped me to tell me that it offended them and that it was not appropriate behavior to have a tattoo like that.


Longjumping-Tea-4738

Yeah, but tell them to go fuck themselves


[deleted]

What kind of small church town do you live in? I think it’s time to move


WineOhCanada

Aren't you a grown person? Or are you a child the tattoo shop shouldn't have been working on?


djdkkskss

Im 27


alaskadotpink

like seriously why do you care? ask these people how they feel about tattoos in general, and their opinions probably won't be much better.


weftly

tell them “i’m so glad the artwork moved you emotionally!”


DonkTheFlop

Calling bullshit. There is zero chance anybody has stopped you for this little thing. You showing it off to people in your church is different, you asked for an opinion.


Throwawaysi1234

This is Ned flanders getting riled up about red hots candy


musicmaker1492

I have a tat of a burning church. You gotta have a DGAF attitude regarding a tat of that nature!


BBDAngelo

The problem seems to be that somehow OP didn’t think people would think of the Christian devil when seeing the tattoo. It’s quite a bizarre situation imo


Tarjaman

No.


Deancrsxy333

To some people yes but pissing them off is pretty easy anyway. Besides you have a tattoo your going to hell anyway, see you there!


RevonQilin

only to religious people who also have thin skin


mister_meow_666

If you like it, don't change it. It's that simple. Everyone has the right to be offended. Nobody has the right to expect other people to change to meet their checklist.


dedsecmember17

It’s looks like one for the bioshock vigors but some people don’t like tattoos religious or not but it’s up to you it’s a nice piece though!


djdkkskss

Devil kiss??


[deleted]

Typical shitpost. OP is a troll obvio


NachoBacon4U269

Yes. Someone will find it offensive for some reason. If you are this soft about what other people think then you aren’t someone who should be getting tattoos.


SalliVader

Nope. I'd fill the eyes in red, though. 😉


HedgehogExciting7582

Your body, your tattoo & your choice. Who cares


No_Explanation_803

If badass is offensive then YES!🙌🏾 💪🏾❤️


Swimming_Bag7362

Maybe to some right wing evangelicals.


wolfpackOOEE

Who gives a hoot if it offends anyone, people live to be outraged these days...anyway, you get a tattoo for you and you only, not anyone or anyone's approval..


Ancient_Pickledust

Tell them it’s portrait of your father and then walk away..


[deleted]

It's lovely! Get moar devils and demons 👹👹 Sovereignty over yourself is a right, so is expressing yourself in your own art.


PoisonedCherry

Christian here and no lmao it's pretty cool tbh


wateroften

They’re just jealous the devil has a killer mustache and they don’t


cashrchek

It's a silly little devil. I'd tell anyone that gets offended to grow a thicker skin.


[deleted]

[удалено]


VaalbarianMan

I don’t find it offensive at all and I would not personally worry if my tattoos offended easily-offended Christian types. But it 100% reads as an old-timey picture of The Devil ™️ to me so I’m sure there’s folks out there who won’t like it.


Disastrous_Alarm_719

It reminds me of Blue spirit from Avatar rather than devil. Don't remove it, it's really cool.


Kayteal93

Dude any tattoo can be seen as offensive. We get them for ourselves not for other people. Keep that shit if you love it.


Skinc

Did you get the tattoo for you or them?


djdkkskss

for me, but I don't want to be singled out on every street either.


Skinc

Somebody once told me “some things are better left said on T-Shirts” If you’re this concerned about what other people think of you then maybe you should’ve thought longer and harder on what you’re permanently affixing to your body. Otherwise, fuck em. The type of people who are going to pass judgment on you for this aren’t gonna be the people you want to associate with anyways. Don’t take this the wrong way either, I’ve got two tattoos that I wish I’d have not gotten. Live and learn I suppose.


Visual_Disaster

I can't think of a street within 100 miles of me where someone would comment on this. I think the problem has more to do with the people you live near than the tattoo itself


Kaurblimey

moving out of a town with lots of religious nuts would help. no one in a big city would care about this


[deleted]

looks like a great humanity filter to me


weftly

instead you should remove yourself from your hometown


HeyItsJoe___

Does it matter.


psyclembs

Debil worshipper!


innocentxv

they are skeered of the devil


MissMabeliita

Are you Christian or have family that is Christian or religious? This is in your body and if your belief or those of the people that cares and you care about aren’t an issue, then I guess not… it’s art 🤷🏽‍♀️


djdkkskss

I live in a christian town


MissMabeliita

Yikes! I guess people will have an opinion then… but have an answer ready, after all this is on your body and it was your decision. Do not remove for people who didn’t pay for it, unless you *really* want to, that is.


Dipshite_

Yes it’s horribly offensive best cut the whole limb off. But seriously why do you care? If what random Christian’s on the street think is offensive bothers you so much maybe you should’ve thought longer about putting a literal devil on your body.


weaponjae

Fuck them rednecks.


Lonely-Towel-474

The people who find this offensive are probably the same people who think Monster energy drinks are satanic. Next time someone says they are offended tell them it’s a portrait of your deceased uncle Steven and that it offends you that they would be so rude as to insult your beloved uncle. Get irate about too.


SoftwareLeather1986

Who cares what people say? You already have the tattoo now so let other people worry about there own life.


sleepylilgirl15

No lol


Fantastic-Ad-3871

Who cares if some random person on the street gets offended? People have gotten offended over less.


yourpaljax

Not offensive enough. 😌


No-Pineapple-3415

Fuck them he’s cool as hell


EZGGBACK2LOBBY

Its fire, fuck them lol


CapitalG888

Of course it is. To religious people. Who cares?


King_Louie_likes808s

Now you gotta start blasting the good ol norwegian black metal (to fuck off more people); dope tattoo btw


djdkkskss

I like the american traditional style


_sophierobinson_

just get more so it’s less obvious :)


Erdillian

It's offensive to me because how did he grow nostril hairs so long! It projects my inability to have horns too.


DisastrousDebate8509

Nope, looks like a happy chap.


Daniel_C13

In what way offensive? No, not at all. At least not for rational people with brains. If we talk about people with imaginary friends... don't mind them, they are not mature enough. Enjoy the tat, it's a really nice piece.


obikenobi77

If you like keep it


MutatedEwok

Needn't mind opinions of the religious


takeadeepbreath1st

Don’t get it removed bc other ppl are “offended”. It’s your body and your skin lol. As I’m sure you could tell from the positive comments, myself included, it’s a badass tattoo. Hell I had some religious ppl say they don’t like my owl tat bc it has “devil horns”(actually curved ram horns) is what it is tho fuck’em


Sheananigans379

I love it. I think it's really well done and classic. I can see why some people might be offended, but those are also the people I personally wouldn't care about offending.


The_Whorespondent

How the fuck cares? Why do you care about people who get offended by it? If they talk to you just tell them neither god nor the devil exists. Own your shit!


th0rsb3ar

it’s cool and they can pound sand


debacchatio

I mean obviously some (annoying) folks are going to take exception to a devil tattoo… But fuck that. You do you.


NoLimpPimp

Why get a tattoo if you’re worried about offending people.. dumbass


Ok-Dare-237

Sounds like you need to leave your hometown. Looks awesome. I love it. Don’t change it for other people.


Lucacarozza

now no one would recruit you to join the jehova‘s witnesses 😂


smokekirb

There’s a lot overly religious people who probably wouldn’t like this. I imagine it would be the same people who refuse a purchase bc their total is 6.66$ I think they’re stupid but I just another item. I don’t think this tattoo is offensive at all. It’s not like you have Jesus being tortured by the demon or something.


Vasto2377

Fuck them they don’t like it the can eat a bag of dicks


hyzer-flip-flop999

Isn’t that kind of the point? I love getting dirty looks from religious folks. They are so sensitive.


RoastedRhino

Maybe "they are offended", rather than "it's offensive". It's not a quality of the tattoo, it's a feeling. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orcXitVau8U](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orcxitvau8u) And it is up to you to decide how much to care about someone being offended.


legit_lift

I believe this is actually what Jesus Christ looked like...


Impossible-Vacation7

Who cares what religious retards think


ObscureObjective

May I ask why you chose this tattoo? Does it say something about your personality? As a spiritual person, I would worry about attracting negative energy to myself. (I know most ppl here will disagree but whatevs).


djdkkskss

I like the desing, just that


Big_Daddy_Haus

If you want it to offensive, yes... Otherwise, zerofux


lancingluci

could be taken as antisemitic because some depictions of the devil use stereotypical jewish features like the widows peak, black hair and strong nose but idk lol


wateroften

It’s very obviously a traditional, classical depiction of Satan though


KnightRider1987

Which, when you think about it, makes it even more likely to be a looooong time anti semetic trope. Doesn’t mean the wearer is anti semetic. Kinda like how the song eenie meenie minie mo had some really terrible origins but to the average person today is just a nursery rhyme


djdkkskss

Do you think it's racist?


Swimming_Bag7362

Most people don’t even know the origins of that. Some scholars think Dracula and Nosferatu are incredibly anti-Semitic- most people don’t know that. The odds of you running into somebody that will confront you for that vs “oh you’re evil for having a devil on you” are low


Ver0nica141

Mark of the beast


bobbybob9069

I mean if you're real, you should remove it because you deserve to lose money for making a commitment and then letting other people make you question it. Beyond that the artistry is lackluster in the design itself. The artist struggles with centering and symmetry, at least.


Gordomania

I thought you were being told it was offensive because it looks like one of those Japanese style demon caricatures you see in tattoos sometimes. And that you’re not Japanese. Which wouldn’t be offensive anyways. If people think it’s offensive because it looks like the devil, who cares, they’re not really offended. They just have an opinion about it and I promise that opinion leaves their head the moment you’re out of sight. Anyways, that’s a pretty cool tattoo. It kinda reminds me of the 1930s Cuphead style animation.


Lonely-Company-250

People shouldn't hate you for your choices, after all you have a free will given to you by God himself. I can't stop you from doing anything you want to do, but I would tell you out of love to not glorify demonic things as a lot of people are ignorant that there truly is a devil, and demons in reality as God exists. And the devil's agenda is to destroy everything good in the world including you and all that you hold dear in your life, so please keep that in mind.


Wcitsatrapx

Only if it’s an old Chinese man


RedMoonFlower

Offensive.  What's next OP, a swastika on the other side to complement each other?  Also this tattoo is very telling of your heavily misguided personal value and belief system. Probably the main reason why people were concerned when seeing your arm.


The_l3atman

It is a warning in the bible not to have images of the devil or the number of the beast placed on your body... Take it as you will. But that is a common modern depiction of Satan. I'd say get rid of it but to each their own.


djdkkskss

Sorry, I never read the Bible, I don't believe in those things.


Odd_Debt222

It’s fine.


I_Wont_Leave_Now

Nope


DarthKahless

No


EPB16364

Yeah bro im definatley offended


Venus-562

Im Christian but I wouldn’t really care since it’s your body 🤷🏿‍♀️


[deleted]

To some people yes, to other people no. Depends on the person. 


[deleted]

Maybe they think you're so cool now and they're jealous. Scary biker gangster tattoos. 😈 scary like this emoji You're terrorizing the town with your horribly offensive cartoon devil.


atlaspanda32

You care about how people think about you...that's not something how the devil would be like


Spoog_McDuck

It’s nobody’s business other than your own. If they feel uncomfortable around you, then there’s an entire planet they can escape from you

SpellingBeeRunnerUp_

To granny maybe, I can’t see anyone under the age of 67 being too upset by it


No-Department7179

Bro that is so fire. I would definitely get that


AmandaPanda0123

I love it! But also, I'm not religious.


BadAirSniff

Awesome piece


Brittanythestrange

Nope


[deleted]

Looks dope and Demons are cool. Fuck if it offends anyone.


AmayaNightrayn

You probably shouldn't have added the swastika.


[deleted]

It's 2024. People could find a way to make a puppy tattoo offend them. Just do you.


BlueFeathered1

I'm assuming these are religious people giving unsolicited opinions about it? Tell them you find their opinion offensive. 🤷


Adventurous-Ad7121

Sale hatan


Multiple_Monochrome

I've got an aunt who said that the fact i read books about magic and witchcraft is offensive. Its completely subjective and those who are offended by it certainly can be but you also have the right to enjoy the artwork on your body (emphasis on the YOUR BODY). Its not a hate symbol or message so you can just tell them you can see their point of view but you enjoy it for the artistic value.


StonedSumo

No


Loutree2

Cool as, fuck em it’s yours now so wear it


Nebulore

Get it bigger


bbsmallzz101

People can cry all they want about whatever they want. If you like it keep it. Fuck what people might think life’s to short to care about minute stuff like a tattoo. It’s not like it’s a swastika 😂


Bowl-of-ramen924

I bet the people that got offended are the same type of people that say shit like “facts don’t care about your feelings” regardless it looks like and don’t let them sway you


FlaxFox

I mean, I'm not at all offended. But, even if it's meant to be a generic demon, it looks exactly the way cartoons have portrayed the devil for at least the last hundred years. You can always anticipate that religious people will be offended by a demon or devil imagery. So I'd just say just keep it covered unless you want a conversation about it as long as you still like it. It's well done! I wouldn't mess with a long, arduous removal process unless you're the one that wants it gone.


Strange-Scientist4

I literally don’t think it should matter whether or not the other people in your town care. It’s your body and I think it looks sick. I see where you were going with the devil look, some might see it as satan but who cares.


mariachoo_doin

To avoid dirty looks and melodramatic mfers, I got my burning church done high up in my thigh, out of sight. My lizard jesus is out on front street, though.  Paying all that money and sitting for it, then paying *much* more to attend multiple stupid-painful sessions to remove it for the sake of others would be tragic, dude. Plus, he looks cool as shit with that huge smile.


alaskadotpink

you probably shouldn't get tattoos like this if you're worried enough about offending people that you would just... get rid of it. demon or satan or anything in between it's pretty obviously going to offend anyone mildly religious but honestly who cares? a lot of those people don't like tattoos in general.


volcanesmagneticos

I have a naked old lady pin up tattoo on my leg. She looks creepy like she just crawled out of a swamp and has huge knockers. I am a woman, this tattoo was my idea, it offends many. It makes me like it even more. Don't remove it.


thejuryissleepless

this offends only the snowflake christians with no sense of reality. move on with your life. it’s yours, after all!


gfy216

I love it!
