Then there is a line, isn't there?
I've been called a "RACIST" because I think tattoos are stupid.
Obviously your "visible" tattoos are not so obnoxious as to render you unemployable, but even you make judgments about people based on their tattoos that you would not make if they didn't have any.
That is the point of this article. A tattoo is a message to the people you meet.
If you have a butterfly on your ankle, that is one thing. If you have a swastika on your neck, then that is another thing.
But the fact of the matter is that when you have a visible tattoo, you are sending a message that you want people to see. It is a sign. It is using your body as a billboard.
If you don't want to be judged then don't advertise your thoughts on your sleeve.
Sure, who said that I didn’t judge people with swastikas on their neck?
I don’t clump anyone who doesn’t into the same class with them to justify my own biases.
And you’re right. My forearm tattoo does send a message to anyone who sees it.
If they’re stupid enough to think that is a negative reflection on my judgement or morality, well, that’s between them and their God.
