Yet another person that I'll immediately dismiss if encountered in real life. People with tattoos scream poor decision making in life. I've thrown peoples resumes into the trash immediately after an interview based entirely on their showing up to the interview with uncovered tattoos.

Nice shallow decision making process. I shiver to think of the talent you're dismissing out of hand, simply for someone having decided to get a bit of ink. I know many a fine, talented mind that has gotten a tattoo, covered or not.

Just FMI, where does your narrow-minded ass work, so I can not bother to waste my time? Not that I have any tattoos, I just don't want to be subjected to your little view of correct/incorrect.

Not sure where you work where people show up to interviews with their shirts off... can't be that prestigious at least. Maybe a NMCF facility?

I've always talked buddies out of getting tattoos visible while wearing t-shirt and shorts, and I think the OP's tat is on his back as well.

I think people who have children show poor decision making, but that hardly applies in a lot of cases. If someone wants body art, I don't see how that is a bad life choice. It is definitely one of the things that is becoming more and more acceptable in this current generation. I suppose you are the type that waves his cane at the rascally kids on their skateboards listening to their rock music?

It's on the left side of my stomach. All my tatts are easily hidden, with maybe the exception of one, on the back of my neck. But then, if i had a collared shirt, you wouldn't notice.

I hope that in 60 years, when I'm in an old folks home, people will ask me what those tattoos mean. Remember, in 60 years time, I won't be explaining it to your grandad, I'll be explaining it to your best mate. It'll be our generation in the home, and it'll instigate one hell of a reminiscence about our teenage to mid-life years, because this sort of thing is what we did.

Since (http://www.vanishingtattoo.com/tattoo_facts.htm) 40% of people between 26 and 40 have a tattoo, you are without doubt missing out on real talent there. You are also missing out on the employees who will stay the distance and support your endevour, since you are deliberately weeding out the people that have proven they have the fortitude to make a decision and stick with out. How much time do you spend hiring new employees?

Enough to have a well formed opinion on tattoos I guess.

Sociology and Psychology have both shown that a first impression is very often right, meaning you can judge a book by its cover.

Also getting a Tat just to cover it up is demeaning to both the wearer as well as the art of tattooing, but that's just my personal opinion.

Except that thats bullshit, because everyone has a different first impression of a person, and not everyone can be right, not even close.

What about those darn coloreds and those pesky women trying to take away our jobs. Don't forget to toss the fresh from school and the over thirties as well. Check the hair too for gods sake. Too long or too short and they're out. A turban, nose ring or yarmulke is a definite no hire.

Keep America white, 20 something, conservative and male. Right?

I'm not doing the search for you but the relevant articles are out there.

If you make a bad first impression while applying for a job it's your own damn fault. Tattoos don't make for a good first impression at most companies. Do the math yourself.

hence why you dont get them in stupid places
and why you dont uncover them when you go to an interview cause thats stupid too.
you shouldnt pre-judge all people that have tattoos on the example of a few people that have no idea of how to interview.
I have 4 but when wearing the right types of shirts (or in fact my work shirt, as it has a collar that reaches my hair line) you cant see any of them. I also have plans for when/if I have to leave the job Im at. That eventuality would bring me into a cold weather climate, so turtlenecks are a possibility, as is using pancake makeup or something to cover it. There ARE people out there that understand the idea that you get the tattoos you want but they can affect your work life too, so you have to take measures for this, as not everyone is what you call understanding.

I'm not denying that tattoos make a bad first impression. What YOU said was first impressions are usually correct. I've already linked a source that says 40% of the population has tattoos.

You are telling me 40% of the population conform to every bad stereotype of the tattoo wearer?

You're talking out your arse, you know it, I know it, and everyone reading your posts knows it, so stop talking ****.

Lol, Ive got 4, I also have no criminal record. While I cannot say Ive never broken the law, I can say Im not the stereotypical sleazy criminal/biker type associated with ppl that have tattoos.
I work for Disney in Florida actually lol.

Stop jumping to conclusions then.

A tattoo puts you near a certain social environment and it's only natural for "normal people" to assume that yes, you might not be good at long-term decision making.

Anyone who isn't a sailor or an ex-con? You yourselves immediately associated tattoos with criminals, after all.

Generally speaking, although I admit this might only be true for Europe, casual, fashionable tattoos are sign of the lower classes.

It wouldn't surprise me to find them on 40% of all Americans, what with your 3rd world economy right now.
