    In my opinion Bertie Ahearn . . . . with their fancy suits and post accents are bigger scumbags than any barman I know

    Hmmm you're half right

    See that's just as prejudicial as me, you would just as likely pigeonhole me due to my accent, well tailored clothes and BMW.

    But you would delude yourself that you are openminded, you are just as biased as i am, but i'm comfortable enough in myself to admit it, because I give not onr fvck what you or tne tattooed barman feel about me.

    I never said it about you , unless you are Bertie Ahearn or a politician. My opinion of them is based on fact and not on generalisation.

    Just for the record the so called barman also has well tailored clothes , manners , speaks well and drives an Audi. He just has to pull up those sleeves to make sure he's not pigeon holed as small minded and illogical.

    Really? Peoples biggest problem is being served with someone who has tattoos?

    I know people said they don't mind but what do people with tattoos give off?

    After all they are just people with art etc. on their skin.

    If the only thing we had to worry about was people being served with a person that had tattoos, we

    would be a happy nation.

    Just stupid that people look at this as a problem.

    TBH I couldn't care if my dentist / doctor was head to toe in tattoos as long as they done

    their job right.

    That you would refuse to use a lawyer because of a minor aesthetic feature that has no bearing on their ability because you feel it is a bad choice... is in itself a bad choice. Which I find ironic and hilarious.

    The spoon thing was just because, after reading your posts and getting a little insight into your personality, I decided in my head that you're a spoon :)

    Yeah, sometimes weather reports are wrong too. But given the choice of two orthopedic surgeons to operate on your spinal cord - one with his arms covered in tattoos, and with piercings, the other wearing a suit and looking generally clean cut - it's obvious which one the majority of people would choose.

    No its not. Hence the debate on this thread between people who judge books by the cover and those who don't.

    If you want to let this guy mess around on your spinal nerves in your battle against the prejudice of human perception, go ahead - but I'm pretty sure the majority of people would choose someone looking a bit more clean cut like this

    I have three tattoos and have no problem with them, however in my local supermarket there is a manger there with maori tribal tattoos on both arms (despite the fact that he's irish and milky white in color) but i think it just is wrong. He wears white short sleeved shirts and pressed trousers and IMO it degrades his position. I know him personally and he's a sound fella and has been in his position/job for years but i just think a long sleeved shirt would suit his image as a manager better. I've asked him if his superiors have a problem or have ever mentioned them but they havent. He only got them done in the last few years and so when he started out in his job didnt have any tattoos at all (well at least none on his forearms that were visible in short sleeve shirts)

    The small mindedness of some people in here is just astounding. Just because someone likes to express themselves using ink you make assumptions about their character or personality?? wow, just wow.

    I hope you are never in a situation where you are judged to be a scumbag or a chav or something else so derogatory, just because of what you wear, what you look like, what car you drive or whatever......

    The majority of people if they had a modicum of sense would want to know the surgeons credentials and his failure rate . His or her appearance should be the last thing on your mind when choosing a surgeon or anyone else for that matter .

    Track record and qualifications foremost obviously !

    I'd want this guy... he's a badass and a wicked surgeon haha.

    Serious answer, I'd be much more interested in a surgeons success rate than if he had a tattoo or a mole or any other factor.

    Again, you're missing the point, or possibly missed my post on page three about this very issue.

    I do know several doctors with lots of tattoos, but they are hidden from general view. You would not notice these tattoos unless they were shown to you.

    So you could have two virtually identical Doctors standing in front of you, same skills and qualifications, but one of them has lots of tattoos done. You do not know which one has them, and you'll never find out.

    So which do you choose?

    You're in an emergency situation to save some of your spinal root nerves. You have just been in a car accident and have about five minutes to decide and give your consent. There is no time to check track record, history, qualifications.

    50% of people who get tattoos regret their decision. The quest for tattoo removal reflects earlier poor decision making and an embarrassing stigma often perceived by the age of 40 years. A whole new profitable industry in tattoo removal has resulted.

    Would you choose a brunette female doctor over a blond? One with real boobs or implants?? Split second decision.... does it matter what they LOOK like?????:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    The barman in question is very clean cut and actually looks more like the second pic because for work he keeps his arms covered. The question was if a barman with tattoos served you in a pub would it change your opinion of the pub or of him , would it make you not go back to that pub because this barman gave you a bad impression of the place even though he was dressed smartly ( with short sleeves ) and was polite and mannerly towards you. Or would you not even get that far , see the tattoos , think its a dive and walk out.

    Im talking about facial tattoos on doctors where one can see them. Would you suggest they wear balaclavas?

    No, none of what you have described would be a compelling factor for me to choose one over the other or gives me an indication of their decision-making process.
