I'm glad I don't work in an uptight white collar office setting! All I have is a flour de lis upper arm, but I guess that makes me trash.

Not much anymore unless accompanied by neck tats, tatted eyebrows, and lip, ear, nose, eyebrow rings.

I had an 18 year old patient last week with 3 face tattoos. A "$" on the left cheek, "precious" above the right eyebrow, and 3 teardrops from the right eye. I asked if she was working and she said "No. Do you know how hard it is to find a job with your face all tatted up?"

I didn't know what to say.

Your lack of command of the English language shows a lack of intelligent and intellectual growth. There is zero doubt you have tattoos.

It's a choice people make. Obviously if it's an eye sore to look at it might make a bad impression.

It all comes down to the individual. If he/she wants one that's their personal right to do so.

Who am I to say it's trashy?

There are bigger fish to fry in life than worry about someones tattoos.

Stupid question. Of course. Look at the population of people in jail. What percent have tats. As a former leo, most criminals have them.

Some successful people have them, but a higher percentage of trash do too

I have three tattoos on my rib cage related to the military and my wife. I don't regret them and no one knows if I have them in a professional setting. If you dont have tattoos and it's not your thing fine . Maybe your life isn't interesting enough to have a permanent reminder of something.

people who hate on tattoos are pathetic. if that's not your thing that's fine but who the hell are any of you people to criticize someone else's life choices? You have absolutely no idea what that tattoo may mean to them.

I've never understood why some put tattoos on their bodies especially on hands, necks face, ankles, feet, etc.

I have a fair amount of tattoos (none of which are visible) and I still think that people that get visible tattoos and expect to excel in the white collar world are retarded.

Think of the trashy person you've seen or know and count the tatoos.
Tatoos are to trash as beer is to crawfish.

It's OK to have opinions. Really. I worry about people who are scared to do so.
