If you couldn't hack it with your tattoos you likely can't hack it without them.

Just go make me some goddam fries already, deadwood.

While any tattoos above the neck guarantee perpetual unemployment, I don't see how any others could (or rather, should) make any difference at all.

One time I was working for a wood shop, and the owner was all up in arms that a tattoo parlor was moving in a few spots down. I guess she never realized that most of her staff had alot of tattoos. One even had nipple rings. Oh, the naivety.

it's funny to me how people who are all tatted up are just now realizing their "mistake".

I don't care about tattoos, for or against. I don't have any and plan on keeping it that way. Partly because I had enough foresight to realize that I might not be as attractive of a job candidate if I had some cobra or barb wire popping out of my collared shirt.

If you have tattoo's, awesome, its your body you can do anything you want, but guess what it's my business so I will hire whoever I want *cackles*.

There are some very tasteful well hidden options out there. It takes a true moron to think that his freaky drunken fueled tattoo spree would actually HELP him land that junior position at a high class finance firm.

oh be still my beating heart, another tattoo thread. One day there will be a thread dedicated to Sarah Palin buggering a female Catholic priest whilst gettin gay married and decrying evolution. The priest will have a unicorn etched on her arse.

I'm seriously considering getting a tattoo removed, so i'm really getting a kick out of these replies....

Fark.com's weekly tattoo thread... cue the 'only white trash get tattooed' comments, then the links to sites with awful tattoos, then a few comments from people in ATX with tattoos of cellphones/cameras/cakes etc on their forearms, then calls for detention cams for anyone with/without tattoos based on their freewill/sheep mentality.

Quickly segued into the third thread of the week regarding the Second Amendment.

I used to joke that if I ever owned a business, I'd make the interview dress code "underwear" just to see what kind of tattoos people have. They wouldn't immediately disqualify anyone, but I'd have a far better understanding of their personality through it.

FTA:
One 34-year-old pharmaceutical salesman said the Irish flag and the wizard that decorate his calves were costing him clients.

"I play a lot of golf with doctors, and these tattoos really stand out," said the salesman, who did not want to use his name because he feared losing clients.


Try wearing big boy pants instead of shorts, sporto. You might also want to take a moment to punch your father in the teats for failing to teach you what is appropriate attire for a business meeting, even if it's a business meeting over golf.

Yay for classism, eh? Looking down on people with tattoos is a very a puritanical, judgemental thing to do.

watch out though - in 15 years and after a kid or two, nobody will want to touch it with a 10 foot pole

"People can't afford to handicap themselves be cause of a tattoo in a tight job market," farking baby boomers. free love and cannabis! no more war! hell no we won't go! Then they grew up, sold their souls for a 401k and a beemer. Now they preach mindless conformity and are terrified if someone doesn't fit into a comfortable stereotype.

I predict someone will develop a biologic tattoo ink removal system, a bacteria or something that will be injected into the dermis and consume the pigment, break it up and absorb it into the body.

When that happens, what will follow is a trend of people getting semi-permanent tats and then dissolving them.

 
Aello 2009-05-24 01:45:26 PM  
Yay, another judgment thread!! My tattoos have never held me back from getting a job. I have three at the moment and plan on getting about five more. It's all about the placement. I can hide mine with a polo shirt.

Polite society is hardly polite. It's more dull and silently hostile.

I bet if the people in the article had good tats as opposed to small ugly blotches it wouldn't be an issue.

FTA : Each painful zap takes about two minutes and costs at least $200 -- and a small tattoo the size of a human chin requires a year of treatments to burn off.

Who what? We're measuring area in 'chins' now?

They removed their tattoo? Why didn't they move it right the first time?

/Seriously, I don't have any tattoos, but if I got one, it would be in a place where it would not be seen during a job interview.

 
Impudent Domain 2009-05-24 01:48:39 PM  
It really is not so much people concerned about a job, it is just that the tattoo craze was mostly a fad, and now it looks exactly like every other fad does when it is no longer cool, except this was a bit more of a stupid fad since you can't easily remove them.

One time I was working for a wood shop, and the owner was all up in arms that a tattoo parlor was moving in a few spots down. I guess she never realized that most of her staff had alot of tattoos. One even had nipple rings. Oh, the naivety.


What is up with chicks who have their nipples pierced? I don't understand the attraction.

Is it sexual. Slight pulls and tugs on the nipples all day?
Or is it just the whole body modification genre?
