Tattoos

[IMADreamer]

Sometimes people just make stupid decisions. That's what I say whenever I am asked about my tattoo. I wish I hadn't done it but I did. It doesn't mean I was destined to work at taco bell or a gas station. It just means I made a poor decision. I challenge anybody to say they haven't made a poor decision

Is it on your neck or face, though?

A tattoo that's covered up when you wear a shirt isn't anything bad today. Nobody would blink an eye. You may even be in the majority.

Exactly, if it's on your back or shoulder, some place that's covered up all day who cares. Do what ever floats your boat. It's the people with neck and full sleeve tatoos I'm talking about. Now you could cover up a full sleeve fine, but some people carry it on to their hands I'm I think you are just hurting your income potential by doing that. I don't know maybe I'm completely off base but of the highly successful people I know personally none have neck or face tatoos.

I think they are gross, especially big ones, and ones that are always visible. I do a lot of shopping at Dollar General (go ahead and stereo type me) and I see a lot of awful huge tatoos on peoples arms, legs, neck, etc. I think to myself what chance does this person having a real career.

Now if I can stereotype a bit, your average Dollar General shopper is probably not quite up to the same net worth I am and in fact I learned the hard way not to go there on the first of the month. I see a lot of big and I assume tatoos there which makes me draw the conclusion that these people routine make poor decisions and are likely quite dumb.

Of course there are a lot of middle classed people with them as well. I think it's a bit cliche and stupid at this point. Most of them don't have any meaning either, like butterflies. I'll bet half the women I know have butterfly tatoos. I just roll my eyes at them. If you are going to permanently put something on your body it should mean something.

Cliffnotes: rant approved.

Why do we look down on tattooed people?

Why do we look down on tattooed people?

Well that's a good point. I don't know I suppose.

Why do we look down on tattooed people?

Because they are shorter than us.

Is there really anyone here who hires people that would count a few, reasonably tasteful tattoos against a job candidate, all things being equal?

Define reasonably tasteful?

Reasonable, no. However in my last business where I was dealing with a lot of little old ladies I had people apply with not so tasteful tattoos and they were instantly off the list. That's the kind of stuff that scared my customers off.

Define reasonably tasteful?

Not obscene, modestly placed and capable of being covered up by clothing if the situation calls for it.

Are these hypothetical tattoos visible when wearing business attire?
