Evidently they are likely to have hep C or AIDS or cooties and are touching your plate. ;)

thats exactly what I told my grown daughter when she showed me her tattoo above her bikini area. I said when you you get pregnant that dolphin is going to grow to be a whale, and after you deliver....its going to be a shrivaled up fish.
She just laughed......but we will see....

That is ridiculous.

I think that was sad as kind of a joke.

Or just get on an Old People's Facebook page like ToTV and generalize people.

I would be willing to bet 90pct of these tattoo naysayers have had their ears pierced. a needle is a needle is a needle! why would it be ok in 1970 and not now.

I don't think that most people ever connected tattoos with a health threat. I think tattoos are accepted or rejected as a matter of personal taste.


And like with a good martini, some people don't know when to stop.

There you go................talking about me and my gin.

Tattoos No Longer A Kiss Of Death In The Workplace - Forbes I guess some of you are wrong concerning tats in the workplace.
I have two, school administrator, spouse two, customer service, daughter three, health care, soninlaw six, makes $100000 as a mechanic, daughter three, banking, son one, healthcare, daughter in law two, Disney. At least 20 of my coworkers at my school sport ink. Yea, you can't be very bright or get a good job with tatoos. By the way, have a niece with a full sleeve and she is one of the top physical therapists in her area with folks lined out the door for her services. God Bless America.

Last paragraph in article you linked above from Forbes.


"So, while workplace concealment policies differ, having a tattoo in 2013 certainly doesn’t ruin one’s chance at having a successful career. Still, a 2011 study by CareerBuilder shows that 31% of surveyed employers ranked “having a visible tattoo” as the top personal attribute that would dissuade them from promoting an employee. Although companies across many fields are increasingly focused on diversity and inclusion, tattoo flaunting is still probably best reserved for post-work hours."

This is from another Thread With WaxMe, a sponsor

Here is a link you can explore to see Florida's regulations

There are 7 tattoo facilities in Sumter Co. All have been inspected in the last 12 months and all were "satisfactory"

50 Shades of Ink......

Oh, how I have tried to stay out of this thread. (Sigh)

I have seen some beautiful tattoos that are like works of art. I think such a tattoo works because the tattooee has chosen carefully how to display it, as one should for any treasured work of art....(Gotta luv that word tattooee . -- Such fun to say aloud. -- C'mon. Try it. -- When the word came to me, I was hoping I had made it up so I gave it a Google -- but it was already there.)

Beyond those individual works of art, I have to admit that when I see what I view as a young person having had too much work done, I have to fight the urge to take that whipper-snapper aside, sit him/her down, and have a little talk about ROI. I think about how many shares of a nice, solid dividend-paying stock could have been bought with that money..... (Does that make me helpful? Or judge-y? ...... EEK!)

'tis complicated for me. I tend to read between the lines.....(Gift? Or burden?)

So anyway, tattoos? -- the stuff of a dissertation for a PhD in sociology or maybe even anthropology......

I want to go to that footbridge you have on your avatar.

I also think that tattoos and piercings are a personal statement. If a person chooses to do it, ok.
