Um.....the tattoo folks I describe live in the real world, quite possible took care of you or your friends. Wierd, huh?
And if you didn't see a comment regarding "feeling" superior, I highly suggest you re-read some posts. But hey, what do I know, I'm just a tattoed teacher here in Florida. (psst. even some teachers at the Charter School have tattoos, YIKES)

I stand firm that no one said they were superior in the way that you all are interpreting it. Superior judgement, yes.
Superior judgement is what is lacking when ink is displayed where all can see. It will limit your opportunities in life. That is the "real" world of which I speak. The one where you need to actually get a job. If any of my employees have ink, it is not where it can be seen. I will not allow questionable judgement to have a negative effect on my business.
A veteran's ink is tantamount to a right of passage. Those that would try to justify publicly visible ink are enablers and I would not consider that a desirable quality in a teacher.
