What % of ink people like that part of the deal?
My personal feeling on my own tattoos: "Love havin' 'em, Hate gettin' 'em."

There's a cool German slang word for tramp stamp: Arschgeweih (ass antlers), although some regions use Schlampenstempel (a direct translation of tramp stamp).I have seen so many really bad choices -"tramp stamps" ...
Good question. I'd like to see a poll by age. I'm sure most of us old farts don't like them and the current generation does. But the question is: at what age the shift occurs. Early 30's, mid? late?
Had 28 YO son of a friend with a big fresh one all down one arm tell me he likes the pain of getting it done. What % of ink people like that part of the deal?
I feel one should do whatever they want where it does not show; but getting them on your face, neck, hands, etc., where one can't hide them, as far as I am concerned sets the ceiling at short order cook, etc. How does someone with face/neck/hand tattoos expect peopleto take them seriously? I personally am not crazy about "body art".
my father said the same about earrings. If you cant take someone seriously beyond looking at ink, then i couldn't take them seriously either. (yeah i have a lot of tattoos) :biggrin:
"Visible" being the key word. I had a friend who was tatooed all over her body -- but not above the neckline, and not on her hands. She worked at a law firm in San Francisco, and wore high collars and long sleeves, and looked absolutely professional. But on the weekends it was tank tops and bare midriffs, and her hair all punked out.We all make choices, the choice I make is to hire people to represent me that do not have such things visible while at work.
I don't have tattoos, but I agree with you. If someone makes such a huge judgement based on the presence (or absence - it cuts both ways) of skin art, then I question their judgement.
Permantant reminder of a temporary feeling.
And for God's sake if they get a tramp stamp on the small of the back, why can't they at least get a Crossword Puzzle so I have something to do!
I'm not religious, but i like to encourage tolerance. Nice to hear someone else feels the same.:biggrin:
Im tolerant, but also a business person, if I feel someone with tattoo sleeves might potentially affect my clients view of my business, then you aren't getting hired. Sorry but my clients come first and not your freedom of expression, because they in the end, they are the reason for my paycheck.
But then again it works both ways, it would be strange to see someone in a business suit and no tattoos working in a tattoo parlor.
damned if you do and damned if you dont...weeee. :tongue: :smile:

This made me laugh too.I would've let it go with just the thread title, but every poster in this thread got their apostrophes wrong (except Raza76). That took it over the top :biggrin: .
