AITAH for getting my tattoo?
Me and my mom were getting matching tattoos. We wanted to do a shrimp and we thought it would be cute to have our interests in there as well. She paints so she got a cute little cartoon painter shrimp and i cook so I got a cute little shrimp frying rice and a little chef hat. Thought it was cute and innocent but a coworker said ill regret it because someone would take offense to it and its a total job killer and that itah.
Im really worried itah here for not thinking about the implications.
I went online and it seems to be a really common theme and gag because of the whole "youre telling me a shrimp fried this rice?" And ive seen a lot of other white people with this tattoo.I asked a couple friends and other coworkers and they all said its harmless and a nod to my cooking and an internet pun. One even said its more racist or insensitive to worry about it being taken that way then if somebody did.
