The initial argument was on visible tattoos, not sleeve tattoos.

Hospital Admin aren't walking around with visible tattoos.



Um......yes, they are. I work with numerous people that have tattoos. A few with full sleeves, some with just 1 or 2, and 1 person with a neck tattoo though she is a janitor. I know few of the doctors here that have tattoos as well. Not sleeves, but a tattoo or 2.

There's no shortage of visible tattoos in the hospital.

sleeves are a good bit less trashy than neck tattoos...
that being said, I judge people based on the quality of the artwork on their bodies, ranging from "wow, that looks awesome and was done by someone talented" to "it looks like it was done in prison with a dull razorblade and crushed charcoal"

didn't. I explicitly stated that i'm sure there are people with sleeves in those fields, but they are outliers, meaning it's not what you commonly see.


That's pretty much what i said right above that..

When those people become capable of remembering those major life events that they need tattooed on themselves.

We aren't arguing ..I like to think of it as light afternoon discussions.. Plus it seems that Bug and I are sorta on the same page somewhat anyway..

And why you trying to butt in? no one invited you.

Did a genealogy report and in this it gave me "notable people you're related to" and on my mothers side I am related to Al Capone. I've mentioned it on here in the past. I know what you're getting at and all, just ironic you bring it up.

My arms are sleeved in black and gray. If I live to be 80, I'm not trying to impress anyone now..surely won't give a frick if I'm that old. Ink would be the least of my physical concerns. At that age only money matters.


And you thought your tattoos were wise investments? Aren't tattoos pretty expensive?

I've heard of a few families that became legit through the video poker/gaming industry. Just wondering how much of that is true and how much of that is rumor.

Not if you're friends with great artists and can get them for free. But yeah, it can be expensive depending on who it is.

Wanted a tat my senior year of high school (July birthday so I'm older in my grade) and my mom talked me out, thank God. I couldn't imagine having one now.

However, a regional manager at my place of work came up to the office randomly last weekend and he was wearing a short-sleeve polo and I realized he was tatted the frick up, like sleeves on both arms. He always wears dress shirts and slacks or a suit to work so I never had seen them before and it caught me off guard. He definitely rakes in $150,000+ so there are definitely circumstances where those people are paid reasonably well.

Is this where the closed minded and judgmental of the OT congregate to complain about what other people choose to do with their bodies?

No, this is where the non-impulsive types that aren't easily swayed by every little whim or urge point and laugh at those with ink.

Any profundity a thought holds loses it when embedded in ink on the thigh of some overweight hausfrau's thigh.

You seem like an intelligent person so it seems that you'd realize that while some people do get tattoos on a "whim or urge" many, actually most, put a lot of time and thought into getting a tattoo that actually means something to them.
