No,actually. It’s a recent acquisition...

I have been asked about it by a senior manager with the company I work for. He was very nice about it.

To: Hugh the Scot

I’ve been in my current field for 30 years. It’s a small community and just about everyone knows my name and my reputation. I could get prominent tattoo and I don’t think it would affect my job prospects.

On the other hand, if I’m right out of college and I got a tattoo of something other than 82nd Airborne or USMC or USS Ronald W Reagan, then that tat is going to hurt my prospects of getting in the door.

And the stupider the tattoo the better chance I won’t be getting a call back.

I was at the beach yesterday and just about everyone over 18 and under 30 had some trite tattoo, whether it be a cartoon character or some trite proverb or a picture of Our Lady of Guadalupe (this is Mexi-California), whatever.

There were also some guys with gang tattoos. Generally Gang Tattoos are there so you can’t ever get a real job. Once you are in the gang, you work for the gang - you don’t quit and go flip hamburgers at McDonalds or go on to become an accountant. You get out when you check out.
