Contractor dismissed over Body Tattoo's - the tattoo debate

[BrilloPad]

Tatto artists should be obliged by law that anyone wanting a tattoo must have "I am stupid" tattooed on their forehead for 50 years before they can get their tattoo.

Mine are all carefully placed and can always be covered for work. I guess that means I don't think it's appropriate to have them on show in a professional setting. I'm working with a woman who has a very large one all over her upper arm, it's horrible.

More examples of terminated job interviews, losing out on promised
promotions and people leaving jobs because of their tattoos.

Why doesn't she cover it up?

The nastiest tattoo I've seen was a butterfly on a woman's back. However least it was on her back.......

I think some people aren't aware that tattoos fade, and if you get them done on certain parts of your body then they also distort due to age, childbirth and weight gain.

She wears sort of sheer overshirt things, so you can see it partially, which is almost worse.

Depends on the ink and style in some instances. One of mine is made up of dots and still hasn't faded.

She needs a little kid to comment about that "Nasty mark on her arm".

Yeah I know.

But some of the tattoos I saw people get Especially as people don't age as quickly and badly as they use to.....

How long before tattoos use organic electronics? Instead of a static image it will be like a video. Or maybe we will have smart tattoos.
