Do you look down on people with tattoos?

Balanadan · 30-07-2018 09:17PM

I don't look down on people with tattoos, but don't really like them and wouldn't get one myself.

Most of them are **** as well, let's be honest about it.

" Do you look down on people with tattoos? ".

No. I'm covered in them. But, these days I just take my clothes off and go to bed. I don't look down at myself.

I have tattoos but I probably fit the stereotype cos I'll kick yer head in.

screamer · 30-07-2018 09:19PM

Don't look down on them, but great big horrible ones in full view are IMHO some sort of attention seeking...... I think they're awful looking things no matter how artistic they are. God awful, but hey it's their body and their bill to pay for expensive laser removal when they're old and wrinkly

I only look down on people who are smaller in stature than I
That is to say people who are fewer inches in height compared to me

They're so ubiquitous now that people don't really care either way. My only concern is hiring someone sporting a tattoo that's actually some unsavoury affiliation that I'm not aware of but which might be a problem with clients. I prefer to not have to consider them.

bodice ripper · 30-07-2018 09:23PM

It's tough to tattoo them without looking down on them.

Shenshen · 30-07-2018 09:23PM

No, but in my old age I now find I've started looking down on people who look down on others because of the way they look.

I know many people who got tattoos when they were in their late teens and regret them now in their 30s.

Why do so many people on here pretend they hire other people?

I guess my full scarification backpiece wouldn't draw ire then. Great!

Honestly though, I couldn't give a toss what people look like. If they're customer facing then as long as they dress well I don't care. I once held a position travelling to clients and I had a neon pink mohawk and multiple face piercings including septum when it was very uncommon. I was always clean shaven, trimmed, hair in good order and well dressed. I got some strange looks from clients but most had spoken to me before on the phone so the reactions were more a case of surprise than anything else.

My manager had absolute faith in me, and I moved up the ladder quickly becuase I worked hard and listened and presented myself well, albeit differently from others. I think there's a difference between being covered in body art and being unkempt. Some people can't distinguish this difference.

In my late 20s now but there were 2 small ones that are now covered up under quality work.
The problem is that a lot of people don't wanna spend much on their tattoos and choose bad artists instead. As in everything there is a massive range of quality and good artists are always booked out months or years in advance and charge accordingly. You're going to get a high quality tattoo and you're going to be happy with it for a very long time. It's definitely something else than just walking into a parlor and asking for a small tattoo of a rose or a compass by one of the artists that are just there and free.

I got very picky with who I go to and I have no problem waiting a while because I know the outcome is good.
My partner has a tattoo done by a really famous world class artist and it's probably one of the best ones I've seen.

Do you look down on people with beards?

BuboBubo · 30-07-2018 09:35PM

No.

I don't have any tattoos myself, most of my friends have them. Why on earth would I look down on them?

Daft!

My mate is a tattoo artist and has done all my tattoos
have a sleeve
He told me the ink used nowadays lasts alot longer then the ones we would see on our fathers(my da 54), my dads tattoos are green he got a rose done in his youth for my mam, its green now and it looks like a cabbage :L .

But ink done today if its sourced properly and not the cheap knock off watered down stuff that most tattoo places use, your tattoo should really not discolour for at least 20-30 years. Obviously depends where you live and where the tattoo is, tattoo on hands will fade and discolour alot quicker due to always using your hands. If you lived in a hot climate where its warm most of the year your tattoo would fade quicker due to sweat.
But its unlikely any tattoo would turn green, if anything they will just fade as we get older.

Plus I don't think I will give a ****e what people will think when I am older, never mind now. That's just been insecure, if people want to pass judgement onto me in person I can only imagine how insecure they are about how they look.

mookishboy · 30-07-2018 10:04PM

Sailors have them. Unsavory lot them
Folks who have been in prison. there you go
Ne'er do wells also have them. enough said

Think that ticks all of your boxes right there for tattooed folk.

But Yer man from twitter Jack Dorsey. Ceo rich etc
Canadian lad Justin Trudeau also
Oul Sadamm also had one
Many people outside your curve.

I have a pretty little tattoo. It's in a discreet location so only those who get to know me very, very, very well get to see it.

If this means I'll never make CEO, so be it.
