Body of art

I feel the same way. I cant even get a job at Taco Bell here in Michigan because they want me to cover all of my tattoos. They all have meaning to me, a crying bear for my niece on my arm, a group of fairies for my kids on my wrist and crying eyes for my brother on the back of my neck. Some companies are really rediculous when it comes to their tattoo policies, How does anyone know if Im the right person for the job just by judging me by my tattoos. Give people a chance. Were not bad people because we have tattoos. We just choose to express ourselves in different ways. Are you gonna judge an artist for the way he expresses himself? Or a teacher by the way she teaches? Give me a break please.....

Note to women. There are a lot of guys out there including me that think tatoos are hideous.

I believe you can get a pretty good idea of the contents of a book by the cover. There are always the inevitable exceptions to which some counter poster will gleefully point out, but save your fingers, I'm not interested in hearing about any inked and pierced doctors, policemen, firemen, Marines, etc. who stand out as exceptions to the rule. The rule stands indisputably.
When a human being feels so insecure, so unimportant, so unrecognized, so insignificant that they feel that they maybe should resort to piercings, tattoos, exotic dress, extreme hair styles, beards, mustaches etc. in order to regain a feeling of importance, it is actually a cry "Hey Look at Me! Over here! Yoo Hoo, Stare, Thank you!"
If they didn't get something out of it they wouldn't do it.
The way a person looks on the outside is an exact indication of how they see themselves on the inside. I agree one thousand percent with those who wouldn't have a tattooed and pierced weirdo freak representing their store or office or products or services. I wouldn't want a repairman looking like some of these "creatures" to come into my house around my family -- even to open a clogged sink, much less try to sell me something.
A young man who voluntarily goes into a tattoo parlor and allows designs to be put on his arms, neck, back, chest, hands, face, etc. is basically making himself unemployable. A young woman who lets someone put piercings and tattoos on areas of her body that
are normally not seen unless she is either undressed or wearing a bikini or other revealing clothing (like in an exercise gym doing her Yoga) is basically advertising "Many have been travelled here before" in my view. Time for a blood test before risking taking this date any further.
Wise up young people. That cute little butterfly on your lower back will look like a blue jay in a few years, and a few more years, it will look like a buzzard. That cute littel heart with your boyfriend's name on it on your arm will put you in the "trailer trash" category when you join the PTA or attend your daughter's wedding in a few years.
You kids want to decorate yourselves, go get temporary tatoos that wash off and when you get tired of looking at it or change companions or "grow up", take a washcloth to it. If you think you don't look good now, I assure you, you look a hundred percent better now before tatoos and piercings than you will afterwards and your new friends won't be running in social circles but rather in the circle of motorcycle bums and park bench sitters.

Tatoos look good on prisoners and trailer park pedophiles. I dont care if you have a masters degree from Harvard I dont want your marked up ugly disfugured tatooed body in my office. You are disgusting looking and you look unprofessional and scary to most people . I dont need to accept you or give you a chance. I own a huge company and my personal preference is all clean cut
"ALL AMERICAN" looking employees so your ugly gross a---ss is out. Too frikin bad tatoo people. Go to McDonalds and they may want you. Girls you also look like whores with the little tat on the small of your back. That is just a symbol to me that you are a little pig. I noticed all the sluts at Scarletts lounge have the same tatts on their backs. Guess those girls were also class valedictotians at Vanderbuilt. They do give great $20 lap dances but would not get a job at my firm in the accounting department.
Nice mutilated touch when you have a shrt sleeve shirt on and tatooes running down your frikin arm. Makes little old ladies want to buy what ever your selling no doubt.TATTOOS ARE GROSS-PERIOD,END OF STORY ,NO FURTHUR DISCSSUION NEEEDED.
