I don’t mind women having lower back tattoos, but I hate them on the legs and feet. I am a leg guy and that just ruins it for me.
Michelle also has a Tweety Bird and it is right above her ankle.

Tattoo question

Sure is generational. When I got mine only military guys and bikers had tatts.
“Yes that screamin’ eagle and skull tattoo’s are from my military days”. “no, I don’t want to see your butterfly”.
JordanAugust 9, 2011 at 10:13 pm #987314wow, I’ve met some pretty awesome folks that are covered in ink. Too bad most of us are taught to judge a book by its cover.
IMO it’s very hard to make a pretty gal less pretty. Some ink just tells me that she might have a mind of her own.
August 9, 2011 at 10:30 pm #987318Alright, I confess I have one tattoo. I got it in prison. It wasn’t my idea.
August 9, 2011 at 10:44 pm #987323Looking down your nose at others posts all the time, is also not very open minded…

I wasn’t passing judgement so much as I was wondering why. Whether a pretty girl with ink has a mind of her own…….I guess I would question if she has a mind. I am speaking of neck, full sleeve,full back types of tattoos.
If they want a little tat someplace so be it.
But, to each their own after all it is a free country. Just as it’s free if I decide not to hire somebody based on appearance from tats or piercings.

Joel? Is that on your hinder?
August 9, 2011 at 11:45 pm #987339Very attractive young lady at work with the Ford emblem as her tramp stamp.I bet she will someday regret it.
August 9, 2011 at 11:48 pm #987340Have you driven a Ford lately? I couldn’t resist.

Dang it Joel,now I will have trouble looking her in the eye when I have to talk to her.
August 10, 2011 at 12:15 am #987347I’ve been trying to get mife wife to get a SUDUKO tattooed on her back for me….
August 10, 2011 at 12:58 am #987354You all who won’t hire just because of a tat want to mention your company, I’d like the opportunity to not do business with you should the chance ever present it’s self.
I’d like to tell my tattooed best friend too, but he got killed in Nam, so I guess it wouldn’t make much difference to him.

August 10, 2011 at 1:26 am #987360Allen, be honest with yourself…. would you hire this guy to represent your company ???
Tattooed and getting a tattoo are 2 different things….. plenty died in nam without tattoos too, you shouldn’t play that card so loosely… yes I am a vet too…. 
August 10, 2011 at 2:10 am #987373I don’t like tattoos, but as stated in a previous post, it hasn’t stopped me from dating people with them or associating with people with tats.
No, that isn’t a typo.
As for ear plugs and what not, that hasn’t hindered my relationships with people either. Still, every time I see them my first thought is, “What the hell”.
As for doing business with them. It wouldn’t hinder that either, but they have to know that is going to be the first hurdle in the sense if I meet with a well dressed person, they made a good first impression. If I meet a person with tats all over and ear plugs, well you have to expect when you do that, it is the first thing I will judge you on.
August 10, 2011 at 2:21 am #987380You old farts are funny.
Humans have been getting tatooed and peirced for a long time. A really long time. A really really really long time. A “before Jesus” long time. A new trend? c’mon
August 10, 2011 at 4:03 am #987398my daughter asked me what tattoos were. my response was “usually the result of a poor decision”
i say do what you want. but its not original anymore. almost every person over 50 i know with tattoos completely regrets them.
got a tattoo on your back? “i did it for me” no. you didn’t.
i’d probably have a few had i more cash on hand in college….luckily other uses for that money came around.
there are very few that i see and i’m like, thats cool. most are pretty stupid. i just turned 30
August 10, 2011 at 11:57 am #987442I probably would have had a tattoo at some point in time. But thankfully I have commitment issues.

With unemployment above 9%. Why would someone do something like get/show off obnoxious tats to set them apart? Let’s be honest, tats carry a negative stigma. Handicapping yourself in a head to head competition for employment won’t turn out well.
My people (professionally dressed in suits) meet with corporate clients or potential investors (also professionally dressed in suits). They are expected to look the part. Tattoos poking out of the sleeves or collar, gauged ears, etc just don’t cut it in my world.
However as a younger single man. Locating a “doe in heat” was much easier when the “tramp stamp” was prominently displayed.

Still not hearing any company names???????
Honest?…ok would I hire a person who has excessive tats to deal with the corp world or rednecks?
No…but I wouldn’t hire the pointing hair new hair style person either, or the overly made up person, guy or gal, or somebody that looked like hooking was their former profession and they’re keeping the look, etc.Excessiveness in almost anything could keep a person from certain jobs, no doubt, but to say you wouldn’t hire someone because of a tat reeks of banjo playing and scenes from deliverance.
People died in wars with out tats too…un huh..brillant as usual g.

You are correct sir. This conversation is about tats, so that’s what is mentioned.To your point…………..My people need to look the part. So that means no tats, no excessive ear pieces, must be clean shaven, must be well groomed, must have appropriate attire.
So it’s about overall appearance, not just tats.
August 10, 2011 at 1:08 pm #987465Allen my guess for companies not hiring people with excessive tattoos would be most major retailers, grocery stores, fast food places, service providers, HomeTown Plumbing and most likely the local gas company to. Not a chance in heck Im going to send some painted freak representing my company into old misses Johnsons house hoping she has a open mind and will just understand. You cant tell me Allen that your company does not take tats into consideration when hiring service people to. Wouldnt be surprised if they have a policy that all tats need to be covered in the work place.
August 10, 2011 at 1:14 pm #987469Your the one who played the deceased Nam vets are being discriminated against by people here….. pretty sick as usual…
I would have a problem with a business that says they wouldn’t discriminate against over bearing displayed tattoos on a potential employee… that’s the dishonest one. This thread was about BIG gaudy tattoos. Don’t turn it into a butterflied ankle hating post…

Tell me about it, darn corporate world.August 10, 2011 at 1:22 pm #987477Allen, why do your service people have uniforms?
1) to project a professional image?
2) Guys are to lazy to wash and press their own cloths?
As you generally do you have tried to steer the thread elsewhere.
My sales people won’t have OBNOXIOUS tats displayed. My sale people won’t have torn dirty ragged cloths on. My sale people won’t swear at you if you ask a question. My sales people won’t have a gun strapped to their waist when you meet them.
It’s called professionalism.
BTW, since you are dying to know.

OKAY, the cleanshaven part qualified as “now you’ve gone too far” . . . but that “not packin’ part” just crossed the line
