Totally agree. Never ever for me. My child wants my permission and I am not ever giving it.
It is entirely legal to not hire someone because they have tattoos or piercings.
I just could never understand why anyone would want to deface their bodies with tatoos.
They don’t consider how foolish the tatoos would look when they get older nor how expensive, time consuming and painful it is to have them removed.
I actually do have a girlfriend that I'm rather fond of.
Not bad for a fat agnostic...
I was talking about the weight thing.
Depends on the tattoo, location and circumstances.
My father had a set of wings and scepter on his right forearm. I can still see it clearly whenever I think about him.
He got the tattoo in 1947 as a commemoration in the military when his former Army Air Corps became the US Air Force. His service in the corps included the Med, Sicily and the Battle of Rome according to his DD214. From there he
served with the Occupation Forces until 1949 in Germany (Frankfurt RM AB). Medically retired (service-connected) in 62 after 23 years service, passed on in 71 while I was overseas.
I think his tatto0 was great!
My late father had a bulldog in a WWI style helmet with USMC below it on forearm. He srved from 1943 to 1965.
“I was talking about the weight thing.”
Unless you demonstrate that the fatness is a disability, you may have no case there either.
I worked at a store design facility. One of our ladies was obese. She did all her work on the phone.
She had the sexiest voice and a great personality.
If one of her customers ever showed up in person she used to threaten to go out and give them a big hug.
You sound like a girl who’s pretty hot on herself.
Really hot?
It’s the Internet, we’ll never know.
Those kids expressed their individuality by doing the same thing everyone else did - growing long hair.
My son came across a photo album wherein he had the long hair. It looked terrible as he had lank straight hair.
He immediately turned on me !! How could you let me go around like that?, he accused.
And I thought I was being cool not making an issue of it.
My husband may be the only navy vet who managed to make it without getting a tat.
He tried. He and a buddy set out in San Diego to find a tattoo place they heard was really cool.
Fortunately, they were a few sheets to the wind and couldn’t locate the joint.
Hey, I am not hot on myself but facts are facts, I am Italian/Sicilian and we are who we are.
Isn’t that right Cowgirl.
You’re hot on yourself. But I don’t care.
Sure you do, other wise you wont have brought it up.
When I see a tramp stamp in the middle of the back on a chick, I often wonder what it’ll look like when she’s 75 and slowly walking down the aisleway of the assisted living center with the back of her surgical gown wide open........
Hum? Assisted living residents wear clothes but even if they wore gowns why are you looking at an old woman’s behind?
There are websites dedicated to people with tattoophobias.

I don’t CARE, but I thought it was a little tacky and decided to call you on it.
Let’s drop it now.
