I have friends with tattoos, visible ones, but they would not allow their children to get visible tattoos (ones that can't be covered by short sleeve shirts) until they are old enough to understand the consequences of their actions.

IMO, sleeve type tats are not far from neck or face tattoos. I would advise anyone who is considering a professional career to avoid these types of tats or at least consider the consequences of their actions. I'm sure Mr. Clinger wishes he would have considered this when he decided to disfigure his face. It's shallow and unfair for people to "judge" him because of his appearance but it's a sad reality he faces. That's all.
