Actually I had a tattoo artist come talk to my third graders when I taught in CA and he did a really interesting lesson with them on creativity and imagination. They didn't even ask him about his neck tattoo. But using the guy with a full-face tattoo as an example of all tattooed people and how tattooing is a mistake works. Sure.
Was that mealy mouthed or manny-pamby (always thought it was mamby-pamby)? At least it wasn't close-minded and shallow.
