It's a judgement issue - if they're stupid enough to deface themselves, they're not sensible enough to work for me.
If you're the kind of boss who'd dismiss someone and ignore any talent they may have just because of how they look, then I'm bloody glad I don't work for you!
What a tw*t! I thought the world had moved on since the 50s, but I guess not 🙁
PS I don't have any tats. However, what I can't understand is why people think all tats are one thing or the other. You might as well say all paintings are watercolours of flowers and look naff.
There are of course nice tats and crap tats. Like anything else.
i think maybe PP has a tattoo?
yeah, that was my guess too!
is a personal attack on his sensibilities.
please don't pretend PP can be sensible
Funnily enough, PP is one of the people I was talking about in my reply - eg someone who tattoos (and he has several IIRC) actually look right on even though in general I think they look a bit crap/etc. I was wondering when he'd poke his head up 🙂
im suprised this thread has gone on this long ! thort there wud be 0ne or two pages... but ya know what its like on ere- voices lead to argumentative bull sh-t... 😉
majority are saying NO ! .... well that settles that then (Tattoo im ready for you ! 😉 
so you were looking for confirmation of your rebelliousness ?
us pretty people can pull off tattoos, i suspect those without and those complaining about.. are all ugly and know deep down they'd just get looked down on with even more disgust 😉 😆
i know i wouldn't hire an ugly person, if their not sensible enough to be gorgeous then their not sensible enough to work for me.
i also can say for a fact that anyone without tattoos has obviously never done anything important enough or worthwile enough in their life to want to remember...
😆
its just skin, if you're honestly judgemental enough to make assumptions about someone because they've chosen to decorate theirs then chances are you suck and are a virgin
:D:D:D

❗
if you're honestly judgemental enough to make assumptions
you can dislike rubbish tattoos without forming an opinion of the person they're on
[i]how can an opinion be bullshit? it's about the person holding it. It isn't meant to be objective.[/i]
That it is that person's opinion is true and can't be bullshit, however, their opinion on something may be misguided or wrong.
eg, it is correct that in my opinion , "Sunday 22nd August 2010 never happened". It is, however, manifestly wrong.
OP: Actually, majority are saying "do what you like" but equally, given the prejudices around, probably have it somewhere it can be hidden (or be prepared to meet those prejudices head-on).
their opinion on something may be misguided or wrong
in your opinion...
"Sunday 22nd August 2010 never happened". It is, however, manifestly wrong.
and do many of your friends have opinions about the existence of dates ?
Figs are ok, but dates, no, not for me thankyou, far too elaborate.
[i]in your opinion...[/i]
No, not in my opinion. An opinion on an empirical fact or tautology can be wrong. If my opinion is "A thing is different to itself" then I am wrong, although:
- it is correct to say this is my opinion
- I am 'entitled' to have this opinion
- there is no objective 3rd party that declares the truth or fallacy of such claims so no-one can say with complete authority that "x is wrong" (but carrying on with false opinions [i]can[/i] be dangerous or misguided (admittedly, it could also be beneficial).
And hey, what happened or didn't happen yesterday is my business ;o)
Bikemonkey, you're being clever, therefore you must not have a tattoo, right?
An opinion on an empirical fact or tautology can be wrong
oh OK, and are tattoos empirically right or wrong ?
Not sure, depends on your opinion 😀
Ein Doppel-post
hehe this thread is fun 😀
i'll suggest it again, can all people with tattoos get their IQ tatood on their forehead...?? that way anyone with a low IQ can accurately be described as "knuckle-dragging-dumbass"
and everyone else can promt a:
"well i never, that's a jolly surprise, there i was making assumptions about that fine fellow over there and it turns out he's only 2 points away from a mensa membership, i bet he's a thouroughly nice chap, lets invite him around to polish our ponies and bentlys together and celebrate our obvious success in life due to not having tattoos.... oh hang on he's got tattoos, lets not let him round, he might scare the labradoodles" response.
phil - one of my tattoos actually says 'I heart labradoodles', so I'm on a winner there!

Molgrips, you really are quite the idiot, aren't you. That's typical of the immature "how dare you judge me" attitude of most of the knobs that get tattoos!
I wouldn't employ anyone with visible tats because, like the majority of the public (yes, that's right, the majority) don't like them. And if someone is representing my business, to my clients, I don't want them displaying any outward signs that might put people off spending money with me.
It's the same reason I don't employ gingers, uglies, the old, fat or infirm. Fact.
Shibboleth - you really are an unpleasant individual arent you? For some reason, my 'report post' button isnt working, but I'll be up front and say I would have used it if I could. Here's hoping you get banned...
That's typical of the immature "how dare you judge me" attitude of most of the knobs that get tattoos!
I doubt if [b]molgrips[/b] has any tats 🙂
It's good to see Shibboleth supports the Aryan race...

I think we need a picture!
I got my tattoo when I split up from my first boyfriend. He'd always done the 'I don't like tattoos on women' thing, even though I really wanted one. I got Kain's clan symbol from Soul Reaver tattooed, so I can enjoy being both chavvy and nerdy at the same time! \o/
I'm glad I waited until I was older though, I really wanted a Metallica one when I was 15, just prior to them going shit. I would have had to get a second one underneath, in small text stating "When they were good".
b'mitch, dont worry, all his employees probably hate him 😀
Molgrips, you really are quite the idiot, aren't you.
No. And I don't have tats either.
And if someone is representing my business, to my clients
You didn't clarify your point with that.

Are you that fool with the printing business that got banned for being an utter pillock. Own business fascistic tendencies and simplistic arguments ...the hallmarks are striking.
I have yet to find an issue on which you can confidently claim to speak on behalf of the majority.
Your ginger etc bit was further indication of what an odious little cretin you are.
PS I dont care if people have tattos or not but I do expect to be able to laugh at bad ones and praise good ones.
Mrstoast - sorry to dissapoint you, but I just made it up. I have, however, got a sisters of mercy tattoo that could do with 'when they were good' adding to it 😉
Mrstoast - sorry to dissapoint you, but I just made it up.
Then I demand you get yourself to a tattoo parlour and get it done now!
I'm thinking about it, but you're demanding tone's scaring me a bit. In fact, when I first read your post, a little bit of wee came out.
Shibboleth, what do you sell, pointy white hats, nooses and firelighters?
don't do it, if u do, u may as well have the word 'rough' inked on

Bollocks, you've clearly not talked to many of the tattoo'd community, most of us are a lot nicer than the judgemental goons give us credit for.

Surely employing people with visible tattoo's would suggest that the company is a bit more relaxed and open minded to various elements of society? As long as it's nothing offensive, I don't see why there should be a problem.

I didn't comment on that as I thought it must be a joke...

People without tattoos will never 'get it'. That's not a dig - it's just a fact. A lot of people I know want one. They've just never found the right thing or had the commitment to actually do it.
My wife has a small 'Violator' rose (Depeche Mode) on her upper arm. A woman she works with had said she could never understand why anybody could do that to their body - this was two weeks before the same 50 year old woman was going for a boob job - each to their own.
I have seven in total. A chinese dragon on my shoulder, a celtic design on my upper left arm, my kids names on my inner biceps, my name on the right of my stomach just above my belt, my wifes name on the opposite side and the word 'forever' relating to the names on my stomach just below my belt line on the small of my back. I don't regret any of them and I don't care what anybody else thinks about them. They are all personal to me, and unless I take my shirt off you'd never even know they were there.
If you really want it, go for it. Don't let anybody else sway your decision. It's a personal thing. You've thought about it. I got to the point where I was thinking about it every day for about six months - I knew then that it was something I needed to do.
Shibboleth, you really are an idiot...
Im thinking of getting a tat myself at the moment, either a tree or an acorn, but I need to find a decent design first, alot of my friends have them, and the only one who regrets it got the name of a ex gf..,,
Go for it if you want it...
.......It's the same reason I don't employ gingers, uglies, the old, fat or infirm. Fact.
Did you intentionally miss out black, lesbian/gay and disabled too, or are you so money oreintated that you thought going the whole hog might get you into trouble with 'Equal Opportunities', which may in turn lead to the only thing which would matter to you ie. a fine for effectively being an odious ignorant turd?
You lot really do have staying power. I doff my cap to you all!

I apologise Molgrips, you're obviously not as stupid as I first thought. Junkyard, on the other hand, is.

You just need the barbed wire, some Chinese caligraphy and a few stars and you'll have ticked every box! A walking history of passing tattoo fads!
****t
I have a thirteen inch ruler tattoo somewhere on my body 😉

You missed a few. A swallow for my neck, a celtic band on my arm, a naked bird in a champagne glass, 'love/hate' on my knuckles, a spider web on my elbow, 'cut here' on my neck and a barcode on my head.
None of them were fads. The first two mean a lot me as they remind me of time spent with a good friend, who has since passed away. He was with me for the first one, and we both decided on the next (he chose one too) a week before he died. It seemed fitting to go through with it. The rest are my commitment to my family.
most of us are a lot nicer than the judgemental goons give us credit for.
nice but dim ??
