What we know is we haven't seen many on their hands and faces which is all that is seen 99% of the time.

I also doubt many fortune 500 go around in their speedo.

It's probably not good, but as soon as I see tattoos, especially when they are over done, I want nothing to do with the person. I feel the same about piercings. I once had a waitress come to my table with three piercing through he nose. I made and excuse and told her that I had to leave. I went to another restaurant.

I know several wonderful tattooed people that would do anything in the world for someone in need. I am so glad I know them and proud to call them a friend.

Get over it!! Welcome to the 2000's!!!

Hi jrdonn:

Since I posted at 3:38 PM and you posted at 3: 39PM I'll assume your remarks are directed at me. I reread my post to confirm my recollection that never once did I say anything about judgment, opinion etc. All I said was that when I saw people with tattoo(s) my thoughts went to my first experience (mental image) with people who covered their bodies with tattoo(s). I never said anything about those individuals. In my view you pre-judged me with your judgment that I judge a book by its cover. Since we do no know one another it may be wasted but my upbringing, education and occupation are quite to the contrary. I will admit I avoid cigarette/cigar smokers like the plague


Personal Best Regards:

It seems More and more the folks on these Forums are quick to judge folks who don't agree with their mindset. The poster judging another poster by his her cover by saying that person judged another By its cover. Another poster saying to Get into the 2000s. I understand more Every day why people leave totv.

Hahahaha...got a cute little gem in my belly button, too!:icon_twisted:

Next time the "crazies" hit, I just bought a little red 5 speed!:loco:

go someplace else

I don't think I can buy into the anti-tattoo bias. Neither my wife nor I have any, and never will, but in the end it is just a skin marking. Is anyone offended if their server is black, or brown, or yellow or red? Catholic wearing a crucifix? Jewish with a star of David? Muslim with a crescent moon or whatever? Has freckles, or moles, or more appropriate for TV, seborrheic keratosis? Moustache? Beard? Pregnant? Gay? I would judge the server by the service they provide and nothing else. And I certainly wouldn't judge a restaurant by a server---chances are you could return and not even see the tattooed waitress again

What do think the chances are that the bar maid with the sleeve tattoo becomes the CEO of a fortune 500 company. Let's assume for sake of discussion she is bar tending while going to law school. Our society says she is to have equal opportunity with the tattoos but does she really?

i sure wish this forum had a "like" button!

Nope, unfortunately, the tattoos WILL affect her future. It's just simply a fact of life. Things are changing, but not that fast. This is NOT my opinion, I am simply answering your question.

It seems something offends someone all the time. Remember to treat others as you wish to be treated....tattoos and all.
My nephew is a CPA who owns his own successful practice.. He is a loving Husband and father of four. He supports them in all of their activities, coaches, goes to church and makes a fine living for his family. He has tattoos, so does that negate everything else he does?

It will be increasing difficult to avoid those without tattoos. Peoples actions can offend me but NOT their appearance.
