Holden McGroin 5079 Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 (edited) They are everywhere these days. I can remember a time when employers didn't allow them to be shown & bouncers wouldn't let you in if you had any visible. Now people get them where you cant really cover up and employers don't seem to be that bothered. The Royal Mail guy turns up at our office for collections with neck and wrist tattoos. Whats happened to the world??? Edit: Sorry, tattoo is incorrectly spelled in the title Edited June 7, 2008 by Holden McGroin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 6098 Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 i still think numptys get tattoos below the elbow and above the neck line. Some bars still wont let you in and I dont think a big black tribal squiggle is going to endear you to any prospective employer at an interview. One of the lads I went to school with fancies himself as a bit of a punk and has a big tattoo on his neck. Reckons hes giving it to 'the man' as no-one will employ him anymore!!! Sure hel be living the dream on his dole money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieMessiah 0 Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Hard to find a lass without her very own "tramp stamp" at the base of her spine these days. Not a big fan really...though if the tattoo is quite ornate I suppose it could provide useful distraction whilst pummelling away at her rump.

JawD 31 Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Tattoos are for scum. I think they are more acceptable, but I still would never show any of mine when Im with a customer, same as Id never get any on the forearm etc. Mind, I dont think people should have ear/nose/brow rings in either when dealing with customers. I dont mind any of those things, just dont find them appropriate for my work. The tattoo debate has been done to death and this comment above is typical of narrow minded folks alike. Each to their own in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 133 Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Many tattoos are very tasteful and artistic, especially tribute tattoos, ok anchors, bluebirds and tribal pasterns are very naff but I think its an ill informed generalisation to say that all tattoos are shit.

The Fish 9263 Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 like some, hate others, it's entirely subjective. Don't think they're appropriate for most types of work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a big fan really...though if the tattoo is quite ornate I suppose it could provide useful distraction whilst pummelling away at her rump. I wonder what goes though the heads of some people like that: "hmm..... I'm fat and ugly..... I could either stop living on chips and lager and go to the gym, or fix it all with a tattoo....."

Generally speaking, I think tattoos are awful. They seem to be the must have fashion accessary of the moment and people just want to be tattooed rather than having something special that they want tattooed. A star? Yes, please, that means a lot to me and will forever because stars are, like, forever and stuff. One guy I used to work with had murals above the elbow on each arm. One was a scene of Egypt that looked really cool but, like I said, most are awful. I knew someone who had spider webs on his elbow ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill 0 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I knew someone who had spider webs on his elbow ffs. Me too. It looks fucking awful. The same lad also has a load of ridiculous cartoons on both arms including a coffin , the word "Libertine" and best of all... </3 Brilliant.....

The problem is a lot of tattoos just look awful on anyone, and those that might look ok on the right person and in the right place invariably aren't. A friend of mine got a sort of skeletal pirate done when he was young.... problem was it didn't look "cool" and "menacing", it looked like an even more comic and camp version of Skeletor.
