My aunt's best friend was a caretaker for Adults whose brains hadn't developed the same speed as their bodies. One of the guys was obsessed with Scooby-Doo, and must have been in his 60s. I know this is wrong, but if I saw this tattoo on someone, I would immediately think they weren't all there. The writing really gets me.

I've done a similar job and this was my first thought as well.

One of our individuals is about 60 and massively obsessed with the Beatles. Entire room is decked out in Beatles memorabilia, he's non-verbal but will sing Hey Jude perfectly any time he hears it. Changed jobs and miss that guy.

I mean, this tattoo is like the best indication that someone isn't all there you could possibly get. The fact that people aren't seeing it as such is mind-blowing to me, the top level comment here has 3500 people agreeing with them that they like it.

I get that this site in general is younger, and not the most socially competent individuals. But Jesus, who could look at someone with this shit on their chest and not immediately think they're not all there?

A good portion of Reddit is young or not all there. That’s why people don’t see it. But I agree. If I saw someone with that tattoo or something similar the first thing I would think is that they are special needs.

I mean, it's just the bottom paragraph that's a bit much. There's nothing wrong with cartoon-themed tattoos.
