It goes a bit beyond “cultural disrespect” if someone copies a name tattoo, for example. Depending on the person you could say it would be like stealing someone’s face. And since in our culture tattoos are _earned_, someone just inscribing tattoo that indicates someone as a person of importance, such as a military commander, on themselves is well, something I’m sure at least many can relate to us as a bad thing. “Stolen valour”, I believe is a term I’ve heard used in the Federation.

Now of course we can argue that do such people deserve a sound beating for such offences, but I’m sure we can all agree that it’s immensely disrespectful.
