You could always get an UV tattoo...UV tattoo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I quite fancy a QR Code tattoo.

Someone I know was one, which when scanned takes you to a website dedicated to the memory of his brother who died this year.

Whether the QR code will still work with wrinkles in the future is another question, and if it needs re-inking then they will need to be careful that they don't mess up the link when they do it

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.

Rather narrow minded, don't you think?

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.

Probably out think the owners of them looking at some tattooed scroats

Where did you find that pic??

One of mine is made up of dots and still hasn't faded.

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

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

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

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.....

[MaryPoppins]

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.

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.

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.
