unoffendable
Beyond taking offense
Unoffendable describes someone who cannot be offended or refuses to take offense.
The word implies either thick skin or a deliberate choice not to let insults land: She's completely unoffendable—you can say anything to her.
Often used admiringly, though it can suggest emotional detachment or indifference to legitimate grievances.
