Women with tatoos.

So how is the person doing the hiring to know if a person has a tatoo or not? Ask them to strip?



I guess this is the part I'm not understanding. What type of image are you referring to? I don't see how myself, or anyone else that I work with that has tatoos, are doing anything to lower the image of the company I work for. Which happens to be one of the largest manufacturers of lawn, garden and commercial lawn equipment in the world. And no, I don't have a manufacturing job. Fortunately, the company feels the same way I do! I think employees with tatoos are the least of their worries!

I agree. The owner of my husband's company had tattoos and a ponytail, GASP, and he just sold the company for 45 million dollars. He built a successful telesys firm even with an image that some here seem to think is sleazy. Since most of his clients were Dept of Defense I think he did pretty well. I couldn't imagine judging someone by their looks. Saying you wouldn't trust someone that had a tattoo is just as bad as saying you wouldn't want someone that is overweight. I'd love to live in their perfect world.

I'm obviously referring to a visible tatoo and not one that cannot be seen in normal clothing. I interviewed a girl once with a tongue ring. Interview lasted about 10 mins. I couldn't understand anything she said. Was she qualified? Who knows. If she hadn't worn the thing to the interview I wouldn't have even known!

The "image" I'm referring to is that of a large publisher.

It's great if you guys with tatoos have great jobs! I'm simply saying I wouldn't hire anyone (with one visible) in a position that has client interaction.

I know you were referring to a non-visible tatoo. I was just trying to be silly because the entire tatoo attitude is so silly to me! I do agree with you on the tongue ring though - if she had trouble speaking clearly with it, she should not have worn it. Maybe it was new, who knows. My brother's girlfriend has one and you'd never know it was there. I didn't notice it until my DS15 pointed it out to me!

A lot of very tollerant kind people who know that beauty isn't just skin deep and don't befriend someone based on the way they look or modifications they have or have not made to their bodies.
They know that just because that woman in the supermarket has purple hair doesn't mean that she isn't a super mom to her little guys or beacause that guy has a demon tattooed on his back, doesn't mean that he's a worshiper of the darkside...

I didn't mean anything by my comment. I have two tattoos of my own. And I am planning on getting at least two more. But I was at one of these and saw a lot of Interesting men and women with full Body Art. That is a lot to me. Didn't say that I thought any different of these people.
 

Just had a thought, In about 40 yrs there are going to be a lot of old ladies with sagy skin and tattos walking around.

So...would you hire someone who is brilliant but grossly overweight, or has a visible scar, what about burns, or missing limbs? :earseek: What about midgets, or someone with a very visible deformity? :earseek:

This really could turn into a slippery slope argument. it is very hard to define "the protected class". The woman that you refered to with the tongue piercing couldn't speak well. That is a whole different issue.

Do men with tattoos get the same "second class citizen" treatment as women?

i know a lot of athletes with tattoos. They generally take really good care of their bodies, by eating well and exercising. That is what may possibly help to delay the aging process a bit, having the tattoo won't really make a difference. :D

You make a very good point. My father has a facial deformity - he was in a horrific car accident about 40 years ago. They didn't fire him from his job because of it.

I also had a high school teacher (happened to be a friend of my parents also) that was in a terrible fire when he was in his late teens/early twenties. His entire body was scarred & his fingers on one of his hands had been burned off, however, he was an awesome teacher & one of my favorites. I would have hate to have seen him discriminated against for not looking "the norm". :guilty:

People are going to get old (if they are lucky) and their skin is going to sag just like everyone's skin will. What difference does it make if they have a saggy skin with a tattoo or just saggy skin? I fail to see the point of your post.
 
Thanks!
:earseek:

If I had a belly that would look good pierced, I'd consider that. But I don't. I did when I was 19 and considered it then, but now I'm glad I didn't. But hey- to women who have bellies that look good pierced, more power to you![/QUOTE]

I have a small one that I would dearly love to be rid of. I got it 13 years ago, and it has my ex hubby's name in it :rolleyes: . I know I know dont ever get someones name permanantly tatooed on your body.

I dont know why some people are really drawn to them. I think they just like to express themselves in different ways.

Friend of mine started with his wifes name, then first son, then twin boys then daughter etc. His wife is now pregnant with #14!!!! I told him he needs to gain weight if he keeps having kids.lol
 
ouch.........just thinking about needles would do me in......


..low threshold to pain........



but i do enjoy reading people's tatoos.......
