Awesome stuff. Its always weird to see new ink on your body even if you have current ones. Looks like pretty good work, where do you go?
Im fully sleeved on both arms, my back has 2 big pieces and Im ready to go again soon, its been a while. Tats are darn addictive, so be aware...LOL :rollside:

I have a buddy that works at hi fi tat in placientia but i actually had the owner Tim Sauter do it. I have a good size chest peice and a small arm peice on each arm. It was my girlfriends first! The mother f@cker used a 7 needle on me! Float like a butterfly sting like a mother f@ck! And yes very addictive i have more work to be done that is already paid for.

I don't know about the rest of you, but if I am hiring someone who has juvenile things tattooed on their body I would be inclined to consider it a sign of poor decision making abilities. I would probably keep looking. At least they are not visible when dressed for an interview. May limit your chances for advancement though.

I don't know about that. Our PD has a policy that if you have tats on your arm or neck, they must be covered up. FD is working on something similar. Not to say that you want to be a cop or fireman, but it is a reflexion of what is considered exceptable in the workplace. Next it'll be the trash collectors and before you know it, it will spill over into the private sector. Something to think about.

I wouldn't worry so much about my dad kicking my ass as I would worry about my mom cry :) . In my entire extended family (out to 2nd cousins anyways) no one has any tattoos, and no piercings, other than a few of the girls with their ears done. And I would never date a girl with a tattoo, I've had to pull the plug over that before.
BUT, I do some useful applications for tattoos, that won't be embarrassing when you are in the old folks home. Instead of getting the standard *****-tag tattoo above the ass on girls, they could start getting instructions such as "wipe here" or "DANGER, INCONTINENT". You could properly label every orifice. And that would be something you could age into.
Another idea I had for tattoos had to do with guys that get their girlfriends name tattoo'd onto their arm and then when they break up, have to get it removed. I figured the easiest thing would be to just add another tattoo of Calvin pissing on the girl's name. That right there would be classy.

The answer is...nothing.
One of my best friends got many tats in his party days. 15 years and a degree later he works for a investment bank. Unfortunatly he regrets most of the ink and can never wear short sleeves at work. Its a safe call to say that the visable ink won't exactly help you get to the top in the white collar world.

You got to be kidding me. My Father was a life-long military man and kicked our ass on a regular basis growing up. To be 21 and have your Dad kick your ass sounds like a bigger problem than a friggin' tat. Parenting is much more than kicking a kids ass. There are other ways to handle things. My son knows I don't like the tat but to go kick his ass.....That is called controlling and dysfunctional. At 21 and being out of my parents house for three years if my Dad would have wanted to fight me physically over a tat I would have stood my ground because I was also taught to stand up for myself. Did your father EVER let you think for yourself and make mistakes?

Are you serious? Not hire me because of a tattoo? You're ripping yourself off of quality help. My title is Master Electrician, I've earned this thru college and 24 years of job time. Am I someone to be glanced over because of a tattoo? I serve a building in downtown LA and have a very good relationship with our clients. 5000 days of uptime is nothing to shake a stick at, my clients love me. My tats have nothing to do with it. It's my commitment to them and pride in my job! WAKE UP!

I am not here to defend tats but I totally agree with you. You got where you are by working hard and taking care of your clients. I don't have any tats and don't ever want one.
Not hiring somebody because of a hidden tat is very bad management. Symptom of a bigger problem. If the tats are visible that is a different situation as it could quite possibly offend a client/customer and cost the company money. Of course flip that and apply the exact opposite as there of course are many industries that having a tat visible would not hurt at all and may in fact help business.

Were you traumitized? lol You are pre-judging people which of course is prejudice. I am really surprised to hear a general contractor talk like you are. Now, if you are aware of a tat, tell the employee that it is unacceptable for a customer to see it and they they go against your wishes I can see your point. That is not what you are saying though. You are just making a blanket statement with no validity to it.

The point is that where you are in life at 21 isn't where you will be at 45.
And plenty of dumb choices will be made along the way.
Some last forever.
I'm 23 and I am making many dumb choices. Like building a lowrider with lots of OLDE ENGLISH on it, and sinking a month's pay into a car stereo. And, while I was in college I would muck around with my appearance, growing weird facial hair and weird hair... not trying to be cool, but just getting a laugh because I would do anything anyone suggested. The thing is though, I could shave it all off, and in two weeks have a tidy buzz cut back and look presentable. But since I've been working as a professional, I've quit playing with that at all.

I think the point is made before.....Tats are forever and a lot of people get them at a time in their life when they don't make decions they are proud of later in life. Some grow up.......some don't. If you have had bad experiences with people with tatoos, you tend not to hire them. If you are looking for someone to move up in an organization and possibly deal with customers, then you may skip over them. I know this is stereotyping,but catagorizing things and people has been one method of efficiently dealing with large numbers for years. You may miss out on a good one every now and then, but hopefully the majority of your decisions will befor the best. I personally think permanent marking your body is stupid, however it is only my opinion. When your actions, or appearance intentionally deviate from what the majority thinks of as normal, you subject ypurselfto others judgements and opiinons. You have a right to do what you want as long as you don't infringe on my rights.Just don't misinterpret those rights (as toomany people do), to imply that you shouldn't face the repercussions of others opinions.

I have a friend that got a similar tat on his calves.....10 years later he realized the mistake he made and after Approx. $20k of removal they are almost gone. to think of what he could have done with the $$ :(
He has kept the other pieces he has (shoulders, back and chest) but all of those are easily covered with a T-shirt.
I have no tats and have nothing agianst them, even some of my BEST employees have many visible tats. but as an employer, it would be dificult to allow interaction with customers with the wording you got. luckily you can always wear Jeans and or pants to cover them and the customer would never be the wiser. ;)

Never been one to get any Tattoos, but some that I have seen are awesome! It is another form of art that I can respect. It is a personal decision for the individual and needs to be viewed as one.
I also am upper management at a large construction company. I would say that over 50% of our field technicians have Tattoos and probably 25% of our office staff/sales people. If I had discriminated against people with Tattoos when hiring, I would have eliminated A TON of very qualified applicants. Our dress code, for technicians, is long pants with short sleeve T-shirt. We do ask our technicians to have a long sleeved shirt in the truck just in case someone has a problem with their Tattoos, but out of several thousand jobs, I would guess that probably one or two people have objected (and those WERE inappropriate tattoos that the technician was instructed that they SHOULD cover them up).
The way that I look at it is if someone 1) can meet all of the job qualifications, and 2) can provide the customer service necessary, the tattoo will not be an issue. In todays world, tattoos are definitely more accepted and common. Maybe not in white collar job, but in blue collar. Give it time and it will be more common in white as well. If someone can get a good working relationship with the customers and the tattoo will not matter. I have yet to see a customer disqualify a company because of a representative's tattoo.
Ask yourself this question... If I was dying and the doctor had a visible tattoo, would you stop him from doing their job because he has some ink? Probably not. Also, after they saved your life, would you request another doctor because of the tattoo? If so, that right there is discrimination. :(

20K?:eek: I know ways to get it done for free and if not about $200 a treatment! Depending on the color and depth of the tat it should take 4-6 treatments.

Wow, this thread cracks me up. So many dumb stereotypes on the tattoos. Times have changed since the 50's when it was only the hoodrats to sported ink. I've got one of my arms done from just above a short sleeve line all the way around and up past my shoulder. Seeing me in a regular 11-2 (the hours I normally work ;) ) environment you'd never know. I make GREAT money in a 100+ year old family business and it's never been an issue. There is lots of visible ink in managemnt as well. Stop being so fockin' closed minded. To each their own. ;)
The one guideline I did go by, and I think it's valid, is never get a tattoo where a judge or priest could see it. :D
Oh, and no names either. ;)

Add: Let me clarify, I don't have any personal probs w/ tattoos...but, in general, society still does. Yes, it's much more acceptible now than ever before. I build (among other things) "super" custom homes...up to $8 million dollars. That clientele doesn't want a superintedent w/ "delinquent tendincies" on his visible body.
Now, if I have some low level, back-of-the-shop laborer w/ tattoos, no problem. And that's the point: What might be "cool" today (and that's debatable) might not be in your best interest down the road when it comes to employment, opportunities lost, etc.
Oh, for the record, my wife has 2 tattoos from her early 20's (now 34)...AND SHE'S CURRENTLY GETTING THEM LASERED OFF.

I have read this whole thread alot of different opinions. So i'm going to throw out one. My dad had tatoos from world war two so he always told his sons not to get any. He would say you would get enough scars on your body without adding any. He consider his tatoo a scar. I also think the tatoo thing will skip the next generation because kids don't want to do what their parents did when they were young.They will find thier own thing. imho

I do not judge people for their tattoos nor have I ever (that I know of) been judged for mine. Granted my calves do not say Deliquent Tendencies though.

Will that be his defense when he gets sued for discrimination? If it is in a company guidelines book and is applied to all I guess you could do that. It would be funny to see it end up in court and then others that are employeed by them show up in court and show tats they have that were not seen before.
Maybe discrimination isn't the proper word here and IF the employees are hired "at will" then they can be let go at anytime for whatever reason. The problem is when you start letting people go and telling them why. That is when a lawyer can take the case and make the company pay regardless who is right/wrong. At a minimum you would have to pay to defend the company.
I own my company and have for 20+ years. It just strikes me as very petty....WHEN the tats are not visible. To each his own pocketbook I guess :)

The way I see it, after seeing this thread develop for a couple of days is that whether it matters or not, whether it affects his ability to work or not, or whether it is cool or not is not the topic of debate really... The perceived facts, as polled by our esteemed panel indicate the following to be true...
1) You will be judged by people more readily because of the tattoos.
2) It may affect employment opportunities or limit growth within any business other than working for your father.
3) You may, or may not regret the tattoo later in life, but I can tell you right now that any one of the 100 tattoos I almost got would be regretted by me right this minute. The one I have (that I drew myself and represents Sea, Air and Land (SEAL acronym) ) I like a lot and want to get finished.
4) Removal will affect your skin tone in the area and will never be really totally gone from every removal I have seen. Especially one-needle work like you see in lettering. That stuff is deep.
From this, my only real question is... why? I have seen a lot of derisive tattoos over my years. Spend some time in the Navy and you will see your share. One thing that all of the truly anti-social ones had in common was that the owner had a deep-seated connection to them. Right down to some racist ****s I saw in Georgia with swastikas. They believed that this was the signal they were trying to send to anyone who met them. Kind of a calling card. "Please... judge me using this as a starting point". Sure, they probably ran into a bunch more of their Aryan brothers by having it out there... but they also created a dour air anywhere they went. I wouldn't hang out with them... or even talk to them for that matter. They could have been total sweethearts for all I know. But sewer rat could taste like pumpkin pie and I will never know, because I ain't gonna eat the filthy mother ****er.
Bottom line is... what is your connection to the tat? 100% of the tats that I have seen that people are proud to have share a connection with the owner. They drew it... it is their kids name, etc... I don't know one person with the Tazmanian devil drinking a beer that still likes it. Seriously, not one. And ever since the chicks tattoos on the lower back have been termed the "tramp stamp" I know plenty that wish that the tribal flowers across their lower back were not their any more.
So. What does "Delinquent Tendencies" mean to you that is so important that you needed it on your lower legs for life? What is your connection to that phrase, and what impression are you trying to send to people who read it?
Lastly, how long did it take you to come up with that phrase? In other words, how long have you been thinking about how much you would like that on your legs?

You ever heard of an ATTY taking a job on based on a contingency? There is always a lawyer that will take on a case.

Bottom line...if it doesn't affect job preformance and the tat is not visible he is using prejudice to make a decision. Sounds like a guy that wants to control everything. Burnout is just around the corner.

Some guys are in the postion to NOT hire someone because they have tats. "to each their own"
Those leg tats could have closed a few doors in life. If ya feel you don't need those doors open anyway that your choice. And I for one am glad ya got the freedom to make that choice.

What about someone who goes about it under a contigency (SP?) agreement?
I dont have a problem with tatoos either. Personally I can appreciate some of the artwork on them. The real problem with tatoos is all the nagativity and stereotyping that many have displayed here.
I think that if you are going to get a tat, you need to be aware of what you are setting yourself up for. For example the less than desired positions and not letting you have a postion that would have you interacting with the public. Should you land a job where the company owner/management is a little more open minded then more power to you.
However there is a few people that I think having tatoos have actually benefitted. For example Jesse James of West Coast Choppers. He built his image on the tatted biker look. Who here is going to argue his success? Just my .02.

Sure, but I think the reaction he is having here is an accurate microcosm of society. What is represented... let's see!
The large majority think it was a bad idea exectuted poorly.
The smaller percentage, but next largest group feel support tattooing in general, but agree that it can close doors.
A small, but vocal minority believe that he will hate it later, but what the hell, you are only 21 once, right?
A very small sampling (you and one other) are all for it and have his back.
One other has stated openly that they would not hire because of it.
In the 2,900 views so far, not one person has said they like them.
Just an observation.
It looks like there were some better choices that could be made, and for the most part I think that people with some life experience see that tattoo and feel bad for him. It isn't the ink... it is the message. It looks ill-concieved and juvenile, and will for life. That is just my opinion on the subject, but some important things to keep in mind are that I am open minded, tattooed, a businessman, young enough to still get it and not appear to be out of touch with the generation and would petition hard for him not to get the ink.
As it is... to hell with it. It is on there, and this isn't a poll deciding whether or not he should get it.
Congratulations TT... I'm sure it will treat you well. Let me know how it works out for you. Cut and save this thread... it is a window to the rest of your life with it on your legs.

The really unfortunate part is he won't know it, because nobody is going to say anything overtly. If he is anything like me... six months from now he is going to forget they are on there. But, nobody else will. I can't think of the last time I noticed my tat, and it is in basically the same spot.
Life is tough enough.... why make it harder?

He also said he has "Thug Life " tattoed on his butt cheeks.... :jawdrop:

No one wants to pay their bills, but getting it tattoo'd on your body is totally hardcore.
<------------My avitar is my right leg. It clearly shows a tattoo that has nothing to do with art. Simply states, I'm a gangster, who can't be trusted, and is definately not capable of making more than 10,000 a year. :cool:
As far as Trump Tight is concerned, I would have to say it was probably a bad decision for a tattoo, but it wasn't my decision to make!! It was your decision. Sport it for a couple years, and then when you realize it sucks, have it covered!!! No big deal, just thank God it was on your calves.
I am part owner of a retail business, and I have no problems with tattoos, as long as they aren't gang related, and are under your clothes!!! If I had to choose my tattoo location wisely for my future, so should my employees :boxed: That only counts for my employees of course, anyone else, I could give a sh*t!

I am not throwing stones about age, but we live in a different time now. Tattoo's are widely accepted in the work place and not viewed as gang related or prison time related.
Tear drop is always nice...... :rollside:
Widely accepted in the blue collar workplace maybe. It's not a different time now. Most of those that do the hiring for jobs today, are not caught up in the ink phase that those of the younger crowd are going through.
I think the classic post is the analogy of the doctor saving your life. When was the last time anyone has seen a doctor with an exposed tattoo. Is there any? Wonder how many top execs, doctors, lawyers, dentists business owners actually fit into that 24% of tattooed America. :rolleyes:

At least now in reading some of these comments I can say I agree with what is being said. The ones I don't agree with are the judgement calls.
I did talk to him "after" he got them because he didn't want to hear it from me before. He would have known my position. When he was younger he always was getting piercings while at his mothers house. At least those could fill back in. He will have to deal with the ramifications himself and there will be some. I suspect they will be removed at some point in the future but for now he seems happy with them.
By the way....I don't think he actually asked for anyones opinion on this. He just posted what his new tats looked like. I knew what would happen.
Anyhow, nice to see some intelligent observations to counter the stupid ones.
Have a good day peeps

I think that you would actually be very surprised! I know of several Lawyers with tattoos as well as a ton of business owners (very successful) who have tattoos. Basing success/failure off of a tattoo is very inaccurate!
Who cares!!! As long as the person can do their job, let them do it and put your biased opinion aside. If you do so, I am sure that you will be surprised.

Just to chime in on a topic that has been beaten to death.
I have 3 Tattoo's (2 on my back and a good sized one on my left shoulder and arm)
I don't have any problems with Tattoo's and think that it should be that person's individual choice on wether they do or don't get one.
With that being said I think there are smart places to get them inked and ones that make no sence and yell look at me for attention.
I drew all of my Tattoos myself and thay all have an artistic theme.I would never get a tattoo that could effect my carreer or allow people to judge me in a certain way.I placed all of my tats in a way that they cold be covered by a regular T-shirt.
Why did I do this?? What if I wen't to a company barbecue and it was a 100 degrees out....I wouldn't want to show up with a long sleeve shirt and jeans on. What if you were meeting with clients to close a big deal and they wanted to meet on the golf course in Newport and it was rediculously hot??
I wouldn't hire someone that had any tattoos visable becauuse that reflects on my company.(Insurance agents deal with all walks of life...Uber religious to your rebel chopper mechanic)
Honestly I always wondered what people were thinking when they got Tattoos that screamed look at me I am a real bad-ass.There was a Asian man getting a tat done years ago when I was having some work done and he put F*CK YOU on the inside of his bicept(sp) I guess he was trying to make a point?? (by the way he acted like a bad-ass and was 5'2" maybe 115lbs soaking wet)
Kids these days just can't see the future and how each and everything they do right now will in one way or another shape who they are and what they will become.

LOL who really cares that he got some tats? It's not you so stop worrying about it. I have no tats and will probably never get one. Some look cool, but limit so many things in this society that its just not worth it to me. Oh and as far as his father beating his ass....give me a break thats just ignorant.

I don't have a biased opinion. My opinion is just that, my opinion. It was stated earlier that candidate to candidate appling for the same job, the candidate with exposed tattoos will likely lose. Based on the percentages of tattooed Americans vs no-tattooed I'd say that candidate would lose approx 76% of the time. I own a business and come from the corporate side of the work force. For me an exposed tattoo limits your employment oppotunities. If your set in your career and that career excepts tattoos, go full sleeves. If not, don't bitch when your descriminated against becuase you tattooed Juanita on your neck or you put a skull on the top of your hand.
This really sucks! We are in the middle of boating season and I can't go get any work done right now!!!! You all have me craving the needle!
BTW just for the record. You can consider what I do "Blue Collar", taking in to consideration I sell to contractors. I will say this, I deal with owners of multi-million dollar companies who at one point would have been considered blue collar. I wouldn't say handling the decsion's for one of these companies now makes him "White Collar". Either way my tattoo's are visible even with a short sleeve polo, due to going to my elbow's....I have had several people older than me tell me about their kids getting tattoed and younger customers show mw their's. If someone doesn't want to do business with me because of a tattoo, then we will probably have more problems down the road with a personallity clash, or a generation gap that is too hard to overcome due to a bias opinion!
I am in a buisness where your charicter will be exposed right away. Integrity is all I have with my customers. If a customer jumps to a conclusion immidiately that becomes an integrity issue right away. Maybe I am better off not doing business, or maybe I will never know why I am not getting his or her business. I work for a company that has a V.P. that is sleeved both arms. He wears a long sleeve, but you can still see the work on his wrists. Just to clearify, I dont work for some mom and pop place either. We have 1800 employees, and 34 locations in the western united states.

In the business world if a group of people are vying for a career position and all of them are qualified and capable, the one with visible tattoos will be the first one that WON'T be hired.

Hey guys/ gals, first off, my intent was/ is not to offend anyone here. I spend anywhere from 8-12 hrs a day, 5 days a week having to conform to a Politically Correct environment. In my opinion, more than half of that is pure B.S. - people being politically correct. So, I dont take any thread here on hot boat too seriously. Unless of course, if it is regarding someone's health, e.g., a boating accident, etc... Then, my posts would be from the heart. Otherwise, its just having a little bit of fun. Like my first reply here stated, when I first saw this thread there were only 5 replies. I had my opinion and kept it to myself. However, when I came back this afternoon, there were 5 pages, 90% trash talkin in regards to tattoos, employment, people raking leaves off other peoples lawns, etc... Basically I saw some sh*t stew brewin' and jumped in on the fun. Its harmless words. Nothing more, nothing less. Now, if this guys father (or any father) started a thread and asked everyone's opinion in regards to his son (or grandson) wanting a tattoo, then I would probably give a decent opinion on them. By the way, I dont have one. Although, I have one that I drew 6 years ago that if I ever did get one, it would span my back, from shoulder blade to shoulder blade. I think the most prevailing reason why the sketch still under a refrigerator magnet, is because Im afraid to get it. Afraid to like it, and get more. Afraid to not like and be pissed. Who knows? All I know is it would be original and distinguishable from far away. One thing I hate about tat's is the need to have what the tat is of explained to me, even when looking at it close up. Whats the point of getting something that cant be made out by anyone but the person who got it? Not that it matters, because I think the main reason people probably get a tat is to express themselves in an artistic way, on their bodies. This strengthens my point, if its an expression of art, you shouldnt have to explain what the art is of. I am referring to the actual design, not the meaning. One might be to depict the art, but its meaning may need explaining by who the tat is on as to what its meaning to them is. That is not what the point I am trying to make here. All in all, if I came off like an ass, I am somewhat of a smart ass. But not to be taken as a smart ass like a dickheaded smart ass. A smart ass in a joking type way. So again, any offended peeps here, if you'll accept whatever apology is needed to dispel my harshness, I would appreciate it. Lastly, if I ever get the chance to meet a few of the individuals who took offense to some of my brash comments, and you still have some animosity towards me after spending a few minutes and a couple of beers with me, I'll buy you a steak dinner (at Denny's ;) - because I am grounded and a pretty friggen cool cat to have as a friend, if I may be so bold.
Okay now, lets hear it..... :)

In my opinion, more than half of that is pure B.S. - people being politically correct. So, I dont take any thread here on hot boat too seriously. Unless of course, if it is regarding someone's health, e.g., a boating accident, etc... Then, my posts would be from the heart. Otherwise, its just having a little bit of fun. Like my first reply here stated, when I first saw this thread there were only 5 replies. I had my opinion and kept it to myself. However, when I came back this afternoon, there were 5 pages, 90% trash talkin in regards to tattoos, employment, people raking leaves off other peoples lawns, etc... Basically I saw some sh*t stew brewin' and jumped in on the fun. Its harmless words. Nothing more, nothing less. Now, if this guys father (or any father) started a thread and asked everyone's opinion in regards to his son (or grandson) wanting a tattoo, then I would probably give a decent opinion on them. By the way, I dont have one. Although, I have one that I drew 6 years ago that if I ever did get one, it would span my back, from shoulder blade to shoulder blade. I think the most prevailing reason why the sketch still under a refrigerator magnet, is because Im afraid to get it. Afraid to like it, and get more. Afraid to not like and be pissed. Who knows? All I know is it would be original and distinguishable from far away. One thing I hate about tat's is the need to have what the tat is of explained to me, even when looking at it close up. Whats the point of getting something that cant be made out by anyone but the person who got it? Not that it matters, because I think the main reason people probably get a tat is to express themselves in an artistic way, on their bodies. This strengthens my point, if its an expression of art, you shouldnt have to explain what the art is of. I am referring to the actual design, not the meaning. One might be to depict the art, but its meaning may need explaining by who the tat is on as to what its meaning to them is. That is not what the point I am trying to make here. All in all, if I came off like an ass, I am somewhat of a smart ass. But not to be taken as a smart ass like a dickheaded smart ass. A smart ass in a joking type way. So again, any offended peeps here, if you'll accept whatever apology is needed to dispel my harshness, I would appreciate it. Lastly, if I ever get the chance to meet a few of the individuals who took offense to some of my brash comments, and you still have some animosity towards me after spending a few minutes and a couple of beers with me, I'll buy you a steak dinner (at Denny's ;) - because I am grounded and a pretty friggen cool cat to have as a friend, if I may be so bold.
Okay now, lets hear it..... :)
OK say I do end having a different opinion of you: You won't think i'm hitting on you right? (you know, the whole gay song thing)
And will I still get a steak dinner if I lie about not liking you? :)
I promise not to lick your windows!
Just good times, I am not a trouble maker, just a bandwagon passenger!

The way I see it, after seeing this thread develop for a couple of days is that whether it matters or not, whether it affects his ability to work or not, or whether it is cool or not is not the topic of debate really... The perceived facts, as polled by our esteemed panel indicate the following to be true...
1) You will be judged by people more readily because of the tattoos.
2) It may affect employment opportunities or limit growth within any business other than working for your father.
3) You may, or may not regret the tattoo later in life, but I can tell you right now that any one of the 100 tattoos I almost got would be regretted by me right this minute. The one I have (that I drew myself and represents Sea, Air and Land (SEAL acronym) ) I like a lot and want to get finished.
4) Removal will affect your skin tone in the area and will never be really totally gone from every removal I have seen. Especially one-needle work like you see in lettering. That stuff is deep.
From this, my only real question is... why? I have seen a lot of derisive tattoos over my years. Spend some time in the Navy and you will see your share. One thing that all of the truly anti-social ones had in common was that the owner had a deep-seated connection to them. Right down to some racist ****s I saw in Georgia with swastikas. They believed that this was the signal they were trying to send to anyone who met them. Kind of a calling card. "Please... judge me using this as a starting point". Sure, they probably ran into a bunch more of their Aryan brothers by having it out there... but they also created a dour air anywhere they went. I wouldn't hang out with them... or even talk to them for that matter. They could have been total sweethearts for all I know. But sewer rat could taste like pumpkin pie and I will never know, because I ain't gonna eat the filthy mother ****er.
Bottom line is... what is your connection to the tat? 100% of the tats that I have seen that people are proud to have share a connection with the owner. They drew it... it is their kids name, etc... I don't know one person with the Tazmanian devil drinking a beer that still likes it. Seriously, not one. And ever since the chicks tattoos on the lower back have been termed the "tramp stamp" I know plenty that wish that the tribal flowers across their lower back were not their any more.
So. What does "Delinquent Tendencies" mean to you that is so important that you needed it on your lower legs for life? What is your connection to that phrase, and what impression are you trying to send to people who read it?
Lastly, how long did it take you to come up with that phrase? In other words, how long have you been thinking about how much you would like that on your legs?
To me Delinquent Tendencies is something i will have my entire life. I do know that some will judge me for the tats and those are the type of people that i will stray from showing. Those that do see it and are making opinions are right to do so. Know that i have these Tendencies and if you do as well lets have some fun. If they turn you away i would consider you up tight and no sleep lost. I understand how in the work place they may not be accepted, so when im at work they will not be seen. If i do not have these Tendencies when i am older i will be very surprised! Anyone that knows my father and i knows that we are just a like and if you know my father......you know he has DELINQUENT TENDENCIES!!!!!!!!!!:D

Anybody can sue for anything. If you fire somebody for having a concealed tat and DID NOT have a company policy in place indicating tats, concealed or otherwise are grounds for immediate dismissal AND they are not an at will employee you are looking at a possible nightmare.
At will employeement covers all of this and no explanation is necessary. Once you start indicating why that is when you possibly open a can of worms.

Bottom line...if it doesn't affect job preformance and the tat is not visible he is using prejudice to make a decision.
Contingecy.........
I did not get hired because I have tat's. That would be a real weak case in a court room. A lawyer that takes that type of case on contingecy would most likely be a weak lawyer.
