/putting some lucky tat removal guy's kids thru college.

There are few things more awesome than white trash.

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.

Yet another thing they couldn't commit to. Yeah, that's who I want to hire.

First they came on the tramp stamps....

Tattoos: mark of the underclass

I think I just found a new line of work.

Am I too late for the tat thread?

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.

so the guys who said they would open up tattoo removals have found profit?

I want to lick that womans tat
/That is all have a good day

I'd love to have this tattooed lady work for me any day. (pops) (NSFW)

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....

/Tattoos: mark of the impulsive 18-year-old

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.

/has ink, lots. No idea if you care but I don't.

No words or phrases, ever. No memorials. No hands forearms or neck if you want to pass in polite society.

She might have been cute before painting crap all over her body.

"I used to idolize rappers with tattoos. Now I don't want it to hold me back from getting a job."

Why didn't you become a rapper?

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.

/probably illegal

This is a good example of the law of unintended consequences.

There are few things more awesome than pretentious self indulgent petty judgmental douche bags.

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.

TheBigBadCrystallineEntity: Tattoos: mark of the underclass

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

Jrshull - love the link, and yeah I'd bang her like a cheap tambourine :)

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

You forgot to mention the racism angle. (barely barely NSFW)

crap. I dropped an italics tag somewhere.

my next door neighbor is 22 and pretty farkin' hot, but she's got a ton of really gross tattoos all over her. she complains about how she can't get hired anywhere right now because of them. she'll prob end up as a stripper or something for suicide girls

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.

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.

There are always jobs in telemarketing.

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.

"biodegradable" ink already exists

It is expensive, but available. (new window)

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.

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.

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?

Hmmm, smart and stable!

So they can remove lasers with tattoos now?

got me...but I like chicks with nipple piercings.

Make you tattoos work for you instead.
