I think it’s hilarious when the old curmudgeons around here get all judgmental..

I’ve got tattoos, and they don’t seem to be causing me any problems with work or with morality, or with socialization.

I agree about the judgmental thing. I have never wanted a tattoo, but it may be age related. I do however know that you can never judge a book by it’s cover.

As former CJ Instructor, we teach people that the bad guy is rarely the one you think it is, especially if you are judging by tattoos or physical attributes. For instance: Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, and neither Hillary or Bill Clinton have any tattoos....yet all of these people would be dangerous to have known! Obama had no tattoos either, that I could see?

As for jobs, I know a lot of people w tattoos who work everyday in jobs they love! So, although I do NOT care for tattoos, nor do I have one, it isn’t the way to determine a person’s worth! The past two generations have considered ‘body art’ a part of their culture. Enough said!

I agree. A few tats not on visible neck or face are fine.

I don’t have any but many friends do. In discrete locations for business.

Yeah. It’s like people see something that looks stupid, and actually voice that. What the hell is up with that?

No kidding! Whoa! I didn't think such a level of outright willful ignorance existed here. That is quite the shame.

For the record, I'm an employed white collar professional college graduate who makes decent money, doesn't smoke, been married over 11 years, takes the necessary precautions to protect myself and my family from crime, and I've never been incarcerated. Oh, and I have 11 tats.

The BS stereotypes make some of these judgemental aholes look really stupid.

I would never hire someone with a visible tattoo. It shows a lack of judgment. It’s a stupid fad that only stupid people get into. It’s a permanent pet rock around your neck.

Military tattoos for those who serve, get a pass from me. Other than that.....”Here’s your sign.”

Hey, sunshine-—Those ‘old curmudgeons are the ones who hire, fire 7 sign the FRONT of the paychecks. You might always be good at signing the BACK of your paycheck-—but not the FRONT.

Me neither. 20 years in IT so far and making slightly above average. Married 21 years, never been incarcerated, no illegal drug use, college educated...
