I meant say a lawyer for a will or something like that. If she has a nose piercing while doing routine stuff in her office, it would not bother me that much.

I got a postcard from one of the best trial lawyers in the country when I was looking for help with my 224 613 Project. This is Gerry Spence. Google him. I will put up his picture some time. http://www.spencelawyers.com/attorne...erry-l-spence/

He looks like we could use him here. Perhaps the "brass nuckle" guy could use him. In all seriousness I know of him from living out west. He has a great rep.

You are exactly right.

Thanks Rubicon, I'd never heard that term before.

While he may not be doing anything illegal,
I guarantee you that if a cop walked by with him sitting in that garb with a machete,
he wouldn't be sitting there very long.

Gee, I bet his parents are proud of him LOL.

In the fairly conservative world of engineering, this man would never get hired (at least not at the company I work for). The neck tattoo would be a deal breaker at my company.

I have told my nieces who in their early 20's, just be careful that if you decide to get a tattoo -- where you get the tattoo on your body as far as being visible while you are at work. I don't think too many hospitals (one niece is in her third year of nursing school, and my other niece is enrolling in a master's degree program for physician assistants in January) want their health professionals to have large visible tattoos (i.e., neck tattoos, face tattoos).

Biblical references to "judging"...................

What Does the Bible Say About Judging Others?
including:



John 7:24

Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.”

You may be right but if my granddaughter brought home someone who looked like that I'd have a fit and a bad spell and run up and down the wall.

Why should we ignore our powers of observation, proven history, and common sense? It is just fine to use your instincts in making judgments if that's all you have at the moment. Wish our government leaders were bright enough to encourage the same.

It is something else, but it isn't generational.

Our grandchildren, siblings.

Not sure how you would know if your childrens's business associates have tattoos.....
I'm pretty sure the proliferation of Tattoo Shops is a direct reflection of a generation wanting ink. Supply versus demand.
Both my spouse and I, professionals, have tattoos. Our three children, professional- two in the medical field, one business have tats. I'm sure my grandchildren will have them also.
But I supposse, some that don't wear ink would claim superiority over those that do. Glad we live in a society that allows for both.

Do you know or have met or seen or observed your children's business associates? Most people know their children's friends and business associates.

I do feel superior.....AND I would look very out of place in the world I live in with the friends and family I have with tattoos. AND I have many people YOUR age who are my friends.

And as far as feeling superior, you seem to be always bringing up something negative about the generation older than you.

I think my kids and their friends and their contributions to society speak for themselves.

Class is something you're born with. You can't earn it, buy it, learn it or get it by association. AND you sure as hell can't have it inserted in your skin with dye.

I'm so glad you responded this way and confirmed what I always imagined. As far as being negative about the generation ahead of me, absolutely not. Many are the finest, most compassionate, patriotic, level-headed, considerate, reliable people ther are, but then again, many are not. ( just like every generation) I'm just enough of a realist to know that some folks just have lives that are different than mine.
Sooooo, getting back to ink, if Dr. Who is the best cancer or cardiac surgeon around and he has sleeves and a huge cross accross his back, I'm hoping I'm lucky enough to have him as my doctor.
