You generally don't find many people get beaten up "for looking funny" by assailants drunk on fine wine.

Oh I don't know

But it's ok to deny people jobs or sack them because they 'look funny'?

Hypocrisy.

I don't drink fine wine nor do I have 'cut here' tattooed on my neck but I know hypocrisy when I see it.

So you're equating my right to choose who I want to hire as an employee, with beating someone up?

Nope, you did that, I am simply asking if it's not ok to beat someone up because they look funny, is it ok to deny someone else something because 'they' look funny?.

They would both be rejected but, as compensation, they would become my two references for agencies who ask

Most of them seem to be good examples of why you shouldn't get tattoos and how it affects your chances rather than stories to shame companies and try and make tattoos acceptable at work IMO. All seem pretty justified. Cept maybe the one where her uniform covers everything up. Either way, not a joy of sympathy for any of them... particularly the woman with cartoon characters on her her bloody shins....

If she covered her tattoos up at work I don't understand how her boss know she had them. There are legit reasons why people always wear trousers and socks like skin diseases so there was no need to say she had tattoos.

The rest of them were stupid in the placement of their tattoos. If you place them on your torso or your upper arms where most short sleeve shirts cover them, then no-one knows you have one unless you wear more revealing clothing.
