Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

MODERATORS
I don't get it, it's a big deal that nothing happened?
It’s awkward for OP because he knows the tattoo artist thinks they’re a couple but his friend is oblivious so he doesn’t want to correct him so it doesn’t get awkward for his friend too
Why is that awkward though?
Social anxiety
People usually tend to feel uncomfortable getting called someone’s partner when they aren’t.
Awkward for the guy getting the tattoo because next time the tattoo artist sees him they'll think the guy is gay. Not awkward for everyone, but this guy is a "garbage straight person" so i guess awkward for him. Also if it wouldn't be awkward why post this online so
