a tat would have kept me out of my career back in the day

I see zero point in having a tattoo

Looking back, I wouldn't have gotten them. It doesn't really bother me, though.

Same, except I just have one and it is rarely noticeable or visible at all. It's not like I got an animal or some dumb phrase either, it was just a dumb thing that everyone was doing and I did too.

I regret it mildly, but it really doesn't make much of a difference. If it comes up I laugh at myself and go on my way.

People with little or no power in the job place try to look for power in other areas. The one place they always have power is over their own bodies. Hence the tattoos.

Makes sense. I've always seen it as showing someone is impulsive and has poor judgement.

Several people had tattoos at my last job, and they were all professionals. Granted it was a design firm, but their tattoos were visible and they went to meetings with clients with them visible.

When I see someone with a tattoo, I just assume they are a gangster biker, a guy working in the Merchant Marine, or a Yuppie retarded moron.

tattoos are unprofessional/trashy
Anyone who gets something permanently stamped on their body doesn't strike me as a forward-thinking, intelligent, reasonable person. Not someone I would trust with running my business, handling my money, building/designing something, or whatever.

The fact that you had to start a thread says otherwise chief ...

You sure do have a strong opinion about this. It's a rather superficial thing to be so upset over.

I used to have a son, then he got a tattoo. I told him he would have to change his last name and the little shite refused. So I forced the wife and the rest of the children to change ours.
