That is a truly twisted way of looking at things. How well you or your department is/was “respected” has absolutely ZERO bearing on how you treat potential employees. Further, it shows your condescension towards someone different that what you think they should be - you can paraphrase the comment all you want but you DID equate people with tattoos to criminals. All people that murder someone with a gun are criminals - according to your logic, then all people with guns are criminals.

I refer you to Post #50 as it goes a long way toward explaining my refusal during my tenure at that world famous hospital. And BTW...as a long time employee there *and*,since retirement,a regular patient there I can't recall ever seeing a staff member with a tattoo.So maybe I wasn't the only one with that attitude.

And just a reminder...I made it clear that I know that not all people with tattoos are criminals.
