For some reason when I see a person covered in tattoos I see a person that lacks restraint. That many not me true for all or any of them but that is my first thought. <BR/><BR/>Diva: That's true as well!<BR/><BR/>Lou: Tastes change, Why have something that will haunt you you whole life. <BR/><BR/>Seeing a business professional with tattoos is a put off.Inquirieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027081076689602255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009724537360235818.post-51555603086936188952008-11-03T08:37:00.000-06:002008-11-03T08:37:00.000-06:00I remember when girls had to wear dresses to schoo...I remember when girls had to wear dresses to school. In the early 70's we were allowed to wear "pant suits" while guys could wear jeans. Finally in high school (mid 70s') girls were allowed to wear jeans. When I started teaching, jeans were unacceptable, but you could wear cheap polyester pants. Why all the fuss? People had a preconceived idea of jeans as "work clothes" or "low class" or "farmer wear." Some people still feel that way. I think it is a similar to how people feel about tats. They seem "irresponsible" and "low class," or for bikers and military sorts. I think that opinion is changing, but I still see them as rebellious and stupid, but a bit intriguing. At least with jeans, you can simply take them off if they are offensive. Tattoos are forever.Bag Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885412195900280096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009724537360235818.post-42653089943840399792008-11-02T20:41:00.000-06:002008-11-02T20:41:00.000-06:00I agree with COP, on the age thing that rose on yo...I agree with COP, on the age thing that rose on your hip ain't going to be so cute when your 70. LOL People get tats for so many different reasons, but I can't think that the mark on your skin will hold that same meaning your WHOLE LIFE. If done as an act of rebellion, you will be reminded of it forever.<BR/><BR/>As far as covering them at work, I agree, I would not be comforted by a paramedic working on me with skulls and flames down his arm.Junk Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826208806643601837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009724537360235818.post-28249207217869362112008-11-02T18:23:00.000-06:002008-11-02T18:23:00.000-06:00Tats are probably a generational thing as far as a...Tats are probably a generational thing as far as acceptability goes. In my generation the only people who had tats were military people (mostly sailors and Marines, when ya get right down to it), sideshow freaks, and cons. A woman with a tattoo was as rare as the proverbial hens teeth. I don't believe I EVER saw a woman with a tat until sometime in the '80s. Srsly.<BR/><BR/>And, being true to my generation, I REALLY wish our values as a society would have remained in this space. A tat can say (or mean) many things, but what it says to me is "irresponsible." It's kinda funny, but my perceptions have not often been wrong in this space. Once or twice... but not often. YMMV.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009724537360235818.post-87594627117881584902008-11-01T13:58:00.000-05:002008-11-01T13:58:00.000-05:00Even beyond professionalism...Anyone considering a...Even beyond professionalism...Anyone considering a tattoo should visit old people they know with tats.
