We All Need To Admit That America Has A Tattoo Problem

I fail to see how what somebody else puts on their body constitutes a problem.

Seems more like what this "author" dislikes.

I hate perfume on women. Is that a problem? Do I write blog posts about it?

I hate nose piercings, seems like a booger magnet.
Do I pretend to write "articles" about it? No.

This weasel needs to mind his own damned business and concern himself with more relevant topics.

And I hope nobody paid him for this whiny & weak drivel.

I was born and raised on a little ranch in remote trashy redneck county like this-you’d be right at home out here...

One of my neighbors has a small tat for each of her 5 kids-3 tiny flowers for her 3 girls near her left ankle and two little bows with a nocked arrow for the 2 boys just below her right shoulder-she tells everyone who asks that the tats represent the 5 most beautiful gifts in her life-she is in her 60’s, like me...

We once had a Tatoo but he's been removed now. In Memorial.

Wow! I guess I am stupid and so much more! ... I had no idea how judged I would be here.

Only a fool believes they won't be judged by others for what they do in this life regardless of what it is. Be prepared for it. Don't whine about it.

In this case, when you gets tats at 49 years old, you will have richly earned the judgement of those who were never so foolish to have done the same.

FReegards!

Female with tat = uneducated, poor, unhappy, slut.

Male with tat = uneducated, poor, poor attitude, exploiter of foolish sluts.

You WILL be judged by how you present yourself. Yes it is a generalization but I don’t hire people with tattoos.

High quality tattoos are expensive. Some of these clowns have spent $30,000 getting all tatted up. Sleeves legs everything. No body part is immune to this plague. Of turning your body into a billboard.

Hey look I have Chinese and Japanese writing tattooed on me!

When I was responsible for hiring at a large,well known hospital I had a policy of not hiring anyone with tattoos visible when wearing business attire or scrubs (depending on the position they were seeking).

And I won't apologize to anyone...even Freepers...for that policy.

Let’s just say it doesn’t make a good first impression.

Both of my husbands served in the military-the 1st was in the AF for 6 yrs, and MrT5 was career Army-T5’s guy is a career cop-first hubby and T5’s guy were both country born and bred-worked as ranch hands, horse breakers, etc while in HS and college-I love the blue collar guys best.

I’ve noticed a lot of intolerant look-down-upon comments in recent weeks-have to wonder if some kind of snowflake Borg are assimilating some of our FRiends...

We divorced 10 years later. Guess I wasn’t his ‘True Love’ after all? ;)

Made me think of a poetic line:

If you must prove it with tattoo
Then it most likely is not true.

My wife loved that and commented that she would get ut tattooed on her!(kidding.)

True, but you’re not the first mistake she’s made by far. Remember to wrap that rascal.

What the heck?

I was curious enough to look it up. It's HERE. They're the birthplaces (more or less) of her children.

Dark ink on fair skin can be very difficult to remove completely. If 5% of it is still there, the tattoo is still there.

Ask any HR department. Here is a study that backs it up

Less 1 out of 4 employees wouldn't care about tattoos at all (or prefer them). Even many of the hiring managers that don't care will usually ask the employee to cover them while working.
