I guess it depends on the type of business you run.
Fair enough fellas.

I guess I have to tell that to our company’s National Marketing Manager and the General Manager who offered me my promotion in July, and I will have to resign immediately. I’m guessing then that they did not see my Southern Cross tattoo on the inside of my forearm while I was wearing a polo shirt during my interview. Sorry I’m off to eat some mashed potato with my fingers….. and to flick some at the roof… Quote:

Got nothing to do with mental problems or inferiority complexes either. You have your opinion and I have mine.

I once saw a ZOO mag with a pic of some blokes tattoos on his knuckles that said THAT HURT. The size of his forearms would scare me off picking a fight with him! Not that I would. My tattoos indicate significant things in my life, in no way am I a thug or a fighter, and I hate when people assume that I am.

To me it's a bit like a young woman wearing revealing/provocative outfits in public and then complaining about how some people perceive or react to her. At the end of the day it's her body and her form of expression. Tattoos may also give people who don't have them certain ideas about those individuals. It may be the wrong ideas but that's just how it is really.

I think tatts have evolved over the years. Years ago they may have been mostly found on prisoners, bikers or war vets. But I think now it's more about an expression of the indivdual for their own reasons, rather than a generalisation. I don't have any myself. But I have nothing against those wanting to get one. I believe if you want a tatt, it's your skin, your decision. Go for it. I have many mates with tatts and I've been thinking about one for years.
Not sure I'd be firing or not hiring people because they had a tatt. You never know what your missing out on my not employing them, especially if they sound good on paper. It's no different to an employer choosing not to hirer females for fear they will get pregnant and want maternity leave. |

Going on what some are saying here, if two people came in for the same job, had the sames skill set and experience, but one had a visible tattoo and the other had a crap attitude, they would hire the person with a bad attitude; and believe me, anyone who owns or manages a business would be likely to agree that a bad attitude would cost you more customers that a staff member with a tattoo. Especially considering that as the reporter said, it is becoming more popular than ever. It would be unlikely for a tattooed customer to be concerned about a tattooed staff member. Not hiring someone because of a tattoo is the same as saying you won't hire based on any of the common grounds of discrimination found today. It is an out of date and prejudiced concept in the extreme and held dear by those who are living in the dark ages. |

Looking at it from a psychological standpoint, that of the person getting the tattoo....
People who wear lots of jewelry (many necklaces, many bracelets, all at the same time, and rings on every finger) are identified by psychologists as people with low self esteem. They do not feel good about themselves so they adorn themselves with what they consider to be pretty, attractive, and valuable things to give themselves a sense of self worth. It gives them something positive to talk about with others since there may not be anything else they do that others would find interesting. My mother inlaw is a quintessential example of this. Based on the above psychological statement, I feel people that have an excessive amount of tattoos have them for the same reason. By excessive I mean the people who have a complete sleeve, leg, or tattoos on the neck and face that take up a lot of space. I feel these people are adorning themselves with something they feel is attractive, very cool, or at least worthy of speaking about, because they lack self esteem and have a less than desireable outlook of themselves. As such, if I were an employer I would not be inclined to employ these people. I know that there are exceptions to this generalization, but exceptions are in a minority. People who have tattoos for a specific reason or purpose are usually not lacking in self esteeem. It is the same as anything else they have that is not in excess. It fills a purpose/want. I have a tattoo. Yes, only one. I may get another but I don't feel the need or have enough of a desire to yet. Mine is of a dragon. It took me 4 years to conclude that I indeed wanted one, and then another 2 years to find the right one. I ended up having an original drawn up. I knew what I wanted, but I didn't know exactly how to achieve that desire. Over the 2 years I realized what that was and could tell an artist what it should include. My dragon is not a typical snarling or screaming, vicious looking killer. It is instead symbollic of the Chinese values of the dragon, though it is not an oriental dragon. The Chinese values include nobility and intelligence. I feel I came up with a design that captures that, and more importantly, people seeing my tattoo also gather those notions about it, which I suspect they then expect these traits from me. They are traits I actively pursue. I agree with what another poster said on here. People who get tattoos when they are in their teens or early 20's are not likely to be into the same things when they are 35 and 40. I got my tattoo when I was 39. I am glad I waited until then. Then again, I was not interested in a tattoo before then. Steve

wat? So, everyone should like everything you like & want, and nothing more? Anyhew... FWIW, I have tatts, and piercings. I don't wear my piercings at work, nor show my tattoos. My personal, off the clock time is my own, however. And, for mine, women with GOOD tattoos (ie: not a butterfly/rose on the hip/trampstamp) are goddamn fantastic. BUT! IF you don't like em.... ok, cool, thats your opinion. I just don't see the need for name calling/negative insinuations....
