Curious, I wonder how many Ferrari Owners have bumper stickers compared to Chevy owners. Bumper stickers are often a complaint. Even a Ferrari owner might feel a strong need to complain about something. Their lives would be better on average, but still not perfect. And complaining is a universal sport.

Ferrari with a sticker that says, "Should have bought the Maseratti".

I am just giving you an honest comment that I have also had the exact same thoughts... the expense of of all those tattoos, of course they have not even started an IRA and could not care less about "sheltering' any of their income. Also, have they paid on their college loans ? Of course not, they are waiting for "amnesty" of course. I know one young woman, B.A. and M.A., and now C.P.A., she FLIES to Chicago to a nationally known artists to does many of the Hollywood and entertainment people. She "could" have paid her loans off with what she has spent, and she's on target to be CFO in 10-15 years. Frankly, (and I am scratching my head here in wonder !) but frankly many of the largest "woke" corporations see tattoos as one indication of a person with the kind of open and progressive mind they are seeking. I am with you because in "my day", woke, progressive, forward thinking, etc. were not the characteristics companies were seeking... very very different today.

so everyone getting tats is woke , so everyone should never purchase anything frivolous because they need to fund there IRA ,so this young woman who seems to be very smart has told you she’s not paying off her loans , if there is one sure thing about tats is you can’t put the wearers into any one group of people , tats are universal and mean different things to different people and sometimes the tattoo is just a tattoo , BUT WOKE THATS TO FUNNY, after a long night in Orlando and feeling a little off this morning that cleared my head faster then the first cup of coffee

A friend of our daughter in high school wanted to get one, and didn't want it hidden. Her dad wasn't having much luck with dissuading her so I simply said "As someone that is not your father, I don't care if you have one or not. Your body your life. And you have the right to have it and not be judged by others. However, that is not reality. Others will judge you, rightly or wrongly. Potential employers will judge you, and you'll never know it. You just won't get called back for the second interview".

She said she wouldn't want to work for someone that didn't like her tattoo, and I said "That's not the point. He/she may be fine with it. But especially if you are in a customer facing position, they don't want anything that will turn off a potential customer. Unless you are in a profession where tattoos are common, why hamstring yourself right out of the gate? If you establish yourself and later choose to get it, get it then".

She went out to CA for school, and has never come back, and as far as I know, is bouncing from job to job. I suspect she ultimately got the tattoo.
