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,

noun \ˈbi-gət\
Definition of BIGOT
: a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices
I think it fits pretty well. You're insulting all the members on BF that have tattoos without knowing who they are or what they've accomplished in life. You're making condescending and ignorant remarks to Hammy about his profession (without having the courage to state what you do), and anyone that doesn't agree with you is a moron. Now go to a tattoo shop and let everyone know how you feel. I bet you won't be as tough without the keyboard and monitor.

I'll do it then.
Corporate Dress Codes and tattoos
A study by Careerbuilders shows the perils of tattoos for aspiring professionals, and confirms the conventional wisdom that tattoos are a sign of immaturity, bad judgment and bad taste:
In sum, tattoos send a message to corporate America that you are ignorant, low-income, that you have have bad taste, and worst of all, that you may have a criminal record.

A study by Careerbuilders shows the perils of tattoos for aspiring professionals, and confirms the conventional wisdom that tattoos are a sign of immaturity, bad judgment and bad taste:
- Over 42 percent of managers said their opinion of someone would be lowered by that person's visible body art. Personally, I think that the actual figure is much higher.
- Three out of four respondents believe that visible tattoos are unprofessional.
In sum, tattoos send a message to corporate America that you are ignorant, low-income, that you have have bad taste, and worst of all, that you may have a criminal record.

Edit - I still wouldn't get a tat myself, but that's because I have a serious aversion to needles (read phobia). It was hard enough just getting a piercing!

Since we're posting pics.
I've yet to meet anyone else with this as a tattoo. If supporting my heritage makes me a herd animal or a person unworthy to work for you then so be it. I could care less what people think of what I do with my body.
P.S. I'll probably only get one other tattoo. It will be the M-Dot when I've earned it.

I got 138 tatooed to my arm too!

Traditional corporate environments are extremely "norming" places. Particularly for consulting, sales etc where you will come into outside people. In many places you don't want to wear a tie that is too loud let alone mark yourself as even more of an outsider.
This culture is changing however in many verticals. Where I am in banking and finance however it is still conservative.

I wish. The one family in cigars I know down here are multi-millionaires. Some of the family members even have tattoos. ::gasp:: But like usual, you're deflecting. Love to take jabs at people, but aren't man enough to admit anything.

+1 - like it or not, facial tats in particular are well outside of societal norms - neck and hand tats slightly less so. Sleeves are not a problem for you if you wear a business shirt.

I don't know why everyone keeps bringing up facial tattoos, this thread is about sleeves. Facial tattoos are still extremely rare and generally taboo, but that's not what was being asked about in this thread. For any interest, hobby, etc, the extreme cases are usually not well received. That goes from stamp collecting, to anything you can imagine.

So to sum it up: you admittedly discriminate against and prejudge people while hiding behind the "I'm an average American" (ie old, white, conservative) curtain, you deflect when asked about your own life and job as it relates to the discussion while putting down others occupations, and you resort to ad hominum attacks when your arguments are challenged.
