I’ll see a hot girl and she’ll have this massive tat on her forearm or upper shoulder. Huge turnoff for me


Preference is your own opinion no doubt! But as for jobs I don't think it is much of an issue anymore.

I have a semi visible upper arm tattoo if wearing short sleeves.

I regret them because I was dumb kid when I got it. But it has had zero impact on my career and salary. This is a dumb take.

They can move to the west coast where tattoos are apparently accepted and encouraged for white collar folks

And don't even get me started on the celebrating on 1st base every time you slap a seeing eye single through the infield. I'm concerned that these guys are going to expect to get celebrated in the workplace every time they just show up and do their jobs. Didn't have this crap with my generation! Not to mention China and Biden...



El oh el. You do realize Biden is part of your generation, right? How dare the boys have fun while playing a game that’s supposed to be………….oh yeah that’s right………fun.

OP had better hope he never needs to hire a combat vet. Every one of the 18 vets I’ve hired over the last 5 years has multiple visible tattoos on their forearms, and that includes the black ones.

They are all office professionals, btw.

Tatoos are all over. Many people have tatoos. It's a non issue.

It’s 2023 where men turn to women and women turn to men and you think companies are worried about arm tats, we are way past needing to worry about arm tats as a country!

If internet message boards were a thing in the 1950s........

Lots of flashy arm tattoos on the ball field this year. Fun in the moment, but my concern is how will our boys hold down a normal job after their baseball career is done? Hope they are getting good “life advice” from coaching staff

I'm more worried about my son not having tattoos; folks are going to think he is a white supremacist.
