The clients didn't care how the sausage gets made so I have no idea why my employer was so wretched about tattoos. It’s not like the stigma is completely stamped out so you’re still going to find some employers who have zero tolerance for it. Much like everything that’s lovely in the world, it’s usually some old guy pushing back because in his day tattoos were only for sailors and scumbags and this isn’t a boat goddamnit

My dad still refuses to hire people with visible tattoos for his clinic. According to him it's because all his patients are old and would pitch a fit, but it's actually because he hates them. He's not thrilled that I have a few.

Well probably because of the face tattoo you have that says "I hate my dad"  His stated reason at least makes sense, even if it is dumb.

I don't think I've hired anyone who doesn't have a tattoo. Mostly because they're so common now that I don't think anyone without a visible tattoo has applied.

My manager was recently touring literal US Senators around the factory in a company polo with his full-color sleeve tattoo clearly visible, no one sensible gives a gently caress any more, unless you have like Nazi tattoos on your face.

A while back I decided to go back and listen to a bunch of the albums that I thought were the absolute poo poo in my teens/early 20s, and I learned that while I definitely rated some absolute dogshit, I was either ahead of my time or have just not advanced musically because a lot more than I was expecting held up!

Every so often I think about the wacky, peripheral poo poo in Transmetropolitan, like when the main character hits on a lady and she responds that she's "gay, married, clinically dead, and pregnant with lizards." And the high tech gizmo that delivers the news super fast, but also give you brain damage. 🐦

Honestly they aren't for everyone, it'll serve you better to realise you're happier without them than to force it. Hopefully that doesn't read as facetious, I unfortunately have to speak to people on the phone who really shouldn't be tattooed but who really really want them.

Honestly I figured you just reach the regret tipping point and just say “what the hell(?)” and go for it. And what qualifies those who shouldn’t get them? I’m curious now.

Only thing I can think of is Orthodox Jews, they're prohibited from getting tattoos for religious reasons.

I don't think I ought to get one just because it's not something I could commit to. I think of ideas now and then and go "ehhh, that's money and some time away from my hobbies". They look better on my wife anyway.

I'll probably get some sort of memorial tattoo of my cat when she goes, that's about the only thing I can think of that I wouldn't regret years later. It would be backwards so she would look correct in the mirror.

Trying to find any other justification for it is stupid Most of my tattoos are "lol remember this one-off Simpsons joke?" and one is a band-inspired tattoo. Another is some cool art that the artist turned into linework. I was gonna use the other limb for blackwork but the artist moved interstate  . Ya don't need some deep meaning if you enjoy it.

Some 10-odd years ago I was in a bar in Estonia that had a tattoo shop inside. I almost made a bad decision that day, browsing their catalogue while half a dozen pints deep.

No idea if it’s true or not but years ago a friend of a friend who did tattoos told a story of a guy coming in to the shop to get a cover up of a tattoo he got while drunk that said I ♥ ERIC CLAMPTON
