Well said. And great photo. I hate pain, and needles, so I could never get one. I definitely appreciate the art aspect of it. Some tattoo artists are
amazing artists. Inkmaster is one of my favorite shows. As is Best Ink. And Tattoo Nightmares (because, let's face it, bad tattoos are sometimes VERY funny and watching someone cover them is awesome). I also have slight OCD so I know that if I were every to actually decide on something I wanted forever, if the lines weren't perfect it would drive me batty - forever. Individual expression is what makes us unique - having tattoos, piercings, everything
@MOXOMUMD said - doesn't speak to fault in character. In fact - it speaks to the opposite. In my opinion.
I agree it is a great photo. Choices, how he presents himself professionally and how he presents himself socially.
I really wasn't going to say anything but it's bothering me. I don't want anyone to take this the wrong way at all but I'm a little surprised at the prejudgement here of people who have tattoos. It's a personal choice. Not all who have tattoos are losers. Some get them in memory of love ones passed, military service, personal battles or their children.
My sister and her daughter just got pink ribbon tats because they beat breast cancer. Not everyone who has tats wants to be a professional sit at a desk suit and tie guy/gal. A very cool (and very tattooed) friend owns a successful concert bar in my area. He makes more a year than a doctor friend. Maybe it's because I don't judge people because they have tattoos, piercings, dreadlocks, dyed hair, redneck beard or are just a plain jane/joe. Anywho, I'll be quiet now.

I am not sure that this post is fair to the discussion at hand. We have seen opinions about tattoos from both sides and it is just that our personal views of tattoos. Some like them on themselves and on others some don't like them for themselves but would not go down that road themselves and others don't like them at all. I went back and looked at the posts and I can't find anything that anyone indicated that tattoo'd people are losers. Bringing Losers into the discussion ramps a discussion up from different opinions to putting the opposing opinion holder on the defensive when their views are embellished.
Yes, my eyes were drawn to a half tattoo covered up by a wedding dress. It was distracting cause tattoos are meant to be looked at and when you can only see half of something and can't figure out what it is it become a distracting puzzle. I view the photo as a great example of
@StarWarsGirl95 point, covered up for a professional look. I went back and looked at the comments to Peter about his desire to do something funky to his hair. After just rereading those opinions it seems statistically that some are OK with tattoos but not colored hair. In reality in the business world all of us run the risk of being prejudged on something deliberate, hair, clothing, tattoos. As an applicant we make choices and knowingly decide if we wish to run the risk of being passed over because of a first impression of how we choose to express ourselves. Me, I am a conservative person, as you would prejudge and label my type of personal expression as a Plain Jane, we too are prejudged with terms like that. I know I'm not likely to be hired in a progressive art gallery or a funky clothing store, the first prejudgment impression would likely be a good indicator that I am not a good fit.
Then look at our common bond, Disney. They are a very judgmental company. Hair, nails, tattoos, type of eye glasses, make-up, shoes the list is long and we all support their prejudgment hiring practices when we patronize their parks, buy their wares. We also abide by their prejudgment of acceptable clothing. Nor does Disney want their CMs to be a distraction to guests. My girlfriend got a small pink ribbon tattoo when she went into remission and was doing well not an uncommon thing with many survivors. She regrets it and is considering removal. It went from being an inspiration to her to a constant reminder and she no longer in the mode of wanting a constant reminder of when her life revolved around cancer. She also doesn't like the immediate notification to new people that she had cancer. Basically she held one opinion and now holds another opinion that it is TMI out there always. My BFF DD an Olympian has the circles Tattoo'd on her wrist, underside. She loves it but doesn't always welcome the conversations it strikes with strangers, she admits she didn't think that through when she picked the location of the Tattoo.
The cook gets to eat everything that spills over, right? Bring on the frosting and milk!
lol-and true. The runneth over was the first thing I tried. It really is good. It is just very Ugly!
