Old tattoos are a different matter. That old faded blob of ink on your arm will not be funny, it will be a sad momento of your shortsidedness and the pathetic herd mentality that exists among young people (like you) today.

Trust me, if I was sporting a neck tattoo or sleeve, I would find the realization that I was the worst kind of fashion victim hard to stomach. Denial is an understandable reaction.

Just out of curiosity what do you do for a living and where do you live? I wonder if your inability to deal with those not like you is due to you being a "product of your environment".

However, if someone is telling people, especially young people, that getting neck, facial or sleeve type tattoos is a good idea or that these types of body "art" pieces will not have consequences later in life, I feel they are doing these people a disservice.

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 decisions.

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.

Your name includes the word circus. Please note, I never said a visible tattoo would hurt one's carreer prospects in the circus. Quite the contrary. I would think tattoos of the visible nature would surely be a bonus in a circus/carny environment.

You are lucky to be in Socal but you would be shortsidedness to assume the rest of America shares your lifestyle and beliefs.

Nothing says "I can't make good decisions" like tats and smoking cigs.

Doug, is David one of your former students? Maybe he would be a good choice to address your class. I would wager he would be more likely to talk sense to them than you have. At least he wouldn't waste their time with the mealy mouth manny-pamby BS served up by the likes of you.
