The dolt even had spiderweb tattoos all the way down his arms, wrists, hands - right down to his fingernails; spiderwebs.
All I could think was "You're going to be at Tower Records until the day you die."
And I bet I'm right. I'd never hire someone so obviously mentally deficient. And some of my employees have some godawful tattoo messes - fortunately, concealed by clothing most of the time.
There's money to be made investing in tattoo-removal clinics.
I don’t know what they do nowadays but I knew a guy that tattooed his girlfriends name on his arm. Then a decade later he was married to someone who (of course) wasn’t that girl. So at some point she gave him enough grief about it that he decided to have it removed.
Evidently it is expensive and isn’t painless. This would have been about 15 years ago, but it took him about a month and a half to get it removed and heal up. They’d burn part of it off with lasers then he’d heal up for a couple of weeks and go back. It took three trips to finally get it all.
They’ve probably improved the way they do it now but it didn’t sound like something you’d want done for you all-over-body tattoos.
I love looking at tattoos. I like 'em on the neck, the arms, not so much on women's legs, but a nice tattooed guy, yowsa.
But... I have been in the position to hire people and there's no way I'd hire a person w/a lot of obvious tattoos for an office or responsible position w/the public. Yes, I'm probably being hypocritical, but when some of these folks get to middle aged, maybe they'll wonder if the huge tribal art tattoos crawling up their arms was why they never got that good job.
There are some people in the grad programs at my school w/great tattoos, but I just can't see them as 'Professor' So and So one day and if I were on the hiring committee, I'd think twice about hiring them.
I like to think I'm still cool and all that, but sometimes you just gotta give in to the man. You wanna be a potter or be in a rock band, have all the tattoos you want. Otherwise, you have to be a bit careful of how many and where they are. IMHO
