You should be sorry, sorry for being a complete moron. I never said I discriminated against people with tattoos, at least not any more than the average person in America does. I was merely stating that people with visible ink (sleeves, neck, hand or face tattoos in particular) are giving themselves unnecessary challenges in life. I would not hire the strange looking "white power" facial tattoo guy in the picture (a couple pages ago) to interface with customers. If that makes me a worthless human being and a bigot in your opinion, so be it. Also, at the risk of being called shallow, superficial or worse, I would not hire that Manson guy with the swastika to do work around my house or babysit. If this offends you, please accept my sincerest apologies.

I'm sure there are people who think sleeves, facial, hand and neck tattoos are cool. I would just advise against them unless you are old enough to understand the consequences of your actions. Expecting the world to overlook the appearance of someone with visible tats is honorable in some regards but, IMO, is naive and unrealistic. Advising a young person that visible tats are not going to affect employment prospects is irresponsible and, IMO, immoral. Especially if you make money (as the earlier poster who attacked me personally) as a tattoo artist.

That's all. Please feel free to continue the attacks.

Cheers,
