Captain Obvious alert.
Tattoos... the ever-lasting jobstopper.
All the years I was in it never occurred to me to get a tattoo. Never entered my mind.
Dont need a study to answer this one. Losers get tattoos. I’ve said for years “tats” serve a useful purpose. They identify people with whom you wouldn’t want to associate. And before you tattooed FR losers dive in about military, different culture. Talking about civilian idiots with ink.
It’s rare to see anyone under 30 without a tattoo. My wife and I had a waiter with facial tattoos. He was probably 35. He talked about all the different restaurants he’d worked in. That seems to be the one profession that accepts this. Not posh high dollar places though.
Not one tattoo. But I wanted one or more as a young man. I searched and searched and by the time I found something I would semi permanently mark my skin with. (Tattoo removal is better these days) I was older and perhaps wiser.
Golden Rules
A Wise Man once said;
You never gets a second chance to make a first impression.
You’ll never learn anything with your mouth open.
The Book of Proverbs is full of them.
Depends on the person...
I have 1 Tat a discrete Cross on my shoulder, I don’t smoke, drink, never been a criminal, did drugs, nor engaged in risky sexual behavior. And grew up in poverty...
Several of my relatives have Tats, and they follow the same pattern I do. Some have more than 1 Tat. Quite a few females, usually small flowers or butterfly type Tats.
Does that crap study include piercings that don’t leave you looking like a freak? I have 2 for earrings on the lobe of my ears. Most of us girls have pierced ears.
Lets bring in the color narrative. I am a black women with NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE, red hair, wearing clothes 2 sizes to small for my rotund body speaking ebonics with an attitude, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ............your hired!
My mom would call them ‘tramp stamps’!
What a stupid article.
Note to all: Although a college professor with a PhD. used "discrete" instead of "discreet, that does not make it correct.
Thank you, I'll be here all week.

Ask them why they got a tattoo and get a glimpse of the defect.
My above post was posted in dismay.
Being a loser.
The tattoos are for being cool and no longer a loser.
Delusional loserism is contagious
I have several and none of the above examples apply to me at all. Learn your job, bust your butt and tattoos or not you will make a decent living. ONE exception, neck or face tattoos.
Isn’t it a requirement to have a lot of tattoos to play in the NBA?
On TV I’ve seen women in evening gowns, some strapless with tattoos down their arms. Gross.
Master Chef TV show has a chef judge, some Latin judge. He has these nasty tattoos down his forearms to the wrists.
Looks dirty. Wouldn’t want to have him handling my food.
