As if I would be working for someone with tattooed arms/legs/face or whatever.

May I ask what you do for a living?
Dr. Pain said:
You dont see Doctors with "tats", or any other respected and successful profession.

Maybe not yourself but yes you do.
Dr. Pain said:
Would YOU employ say.... an Airline Pilot with tats all over himself, or holes in his ears? I think not.

Yes, but then again I've always employed people on their ability to perform the role/position rather than their taste in body art.
Dr. Pain said:
Its a shame really, as so many people regret it later in life.

If you can live a good life and the biggest regret you have is a tattoo then would you really consider it to be something to worry about?
 
My dad has a tattoo and is the MD of his own company, I've got a tattoo and if things go to plan I'll be taking over from him. Having a tattoo does not mean you can't be a professional or act professional.

In the Random Images thread (is it?) there's a picture of the back of an Airline Pilot's head where he tattoo'd a guy mowing the "lawn" - being his remaining hair. This is reported to have occurred after a drunken night in Vegas.

It's 2011... Tattoos are not a sign of low status. People of all class, working background, job, status, etc get them for various reasons.

Now... some tattoos are utter ****. Plain and simply, some idiots get **** tattoos because they think it's cool

However, do not tar everyone with this brush. Some of us get them because the thing we get means A LOT to us and we genuinely want that thing as part of our body forever.

It's not that big a deal.

FYI: I am a graduate in a professional, client-facing job in the Energy Industry and am an intelligent gent. The tattoo I have is music notes from an Opera that I love on the inside of my forearm and I never make any attempt to cover it and it doesn't affect my career of life in any negative way.

Damn some people in here are ignorant.
 
It's strange how hung up people get on tattoos, yet i very rarely get any comments in day to day life in the UK. In the UAE, I get a lot, but never negative as far as i can tell.
 
Meh, I'm taking up boxing this year. Apparently I'm deceptively fast so I want to back that up with some muscle :)
