Person A has already made their decision, but it was being discussed among a group of us a wee while back, and I thought it might make for an interesting discussion here. the decision is made, end of story, this wasnt a plea to help decide!

So was/will there be any fallout at work?

Tattoos are for criminals and anti social people!

I dont think there will be any fallout, work hasnt been done yet, they are picky (and fair enough!) and are still nailing down the design

An interesting story ...

If indeed person A has decided to get the tattoo's ... as per their right under personal choice's. The people that person deals with in their daily life ... also has choices ... and rights. And the choice not to have to see it (daily) if they choose.
Who's rights are of more importantance ... ??? and take priorty ... ???

I dont have any tattoos.
Its not because I dont like them. Its just because they dont interest me enough to bother getting one.

The thing is they dont offend me. Even if they are prison or gang tats. It just spells out more info on the person that has them but that expression may imply not suitable person to employ.

I think failure to except how people express their bodies is a bit out of date now.

Ridiculous comment. Taking offense at anything is a choice.

Very true.

The simple problem becomes that when two fellas are in the running for a job, and the employer is a narrow minded git then the fella without the visible tattoos gets the job...nothing else comes into play, unfortunately.

I'm surprised at the number of policemen with tattoos down their arms these days.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against tattoos (I have a number myself) - just surprised is all.

that sounds like a bollocks argument sorry trev. will you argue next that they have a right to not have to see someones birthmarks, or scars, or see that a person is morbidly obese? People do, and always will, only see what they want to see. dont like it, then dont look at them

If the employer kicks up a fuss, then tell them to get fucked.

Taking offence is seldom a choice,it tends to be a subconcious reaction.
It's like fear,,,I have full body Tattooing and I see fear in some people now and then.
Even though they don't know me their still reacting on a subconcious level to inbuilt fears about people that have tattoos.
There's little choice involved until they get the oppertunity to really decide for themselves weather that fear is justified.

Personally I work at not getting in other peoples faces about this for the reason that my tatts were always my thing "not theirs" so my knowingly placing them in a position where they feel uncomfortable is pretty disrespectfull coming from somebody that understands exactly what's going on.

Of course there's other times when they can be a passport to not getting your face punched in on the spot,,which also happens.

People are funny critters.
