Thats a little old fashioned! I’ll bet your in your eighties. I’ll also bet you think all tatted girls are whores too. I have no tatts but all 5 of my kids do, no criminals or whores just people born into a different era than me!

What does the first line say?

The fathers I respect the most are the ones who see the world as it is and assist their children in making choices that won't obstruct their path through adulthood. The reality is that people with tattoos are judged and do everything they can do hide those tattoos for job interviews. Perhaps not the way the world should be, but definitely the way the world is. One doesn't need to be 80 or understand the difference between"'your and you're" to figure it out.

Your children sound like fine people, just as most of the younger people I know who have tattoos are. Nearly 100 percent of criminals also have tattoos. How can one tell them apart?

Most tatts can be hidden for most jobs, and if you have some visible, you are taking a risk trying for certain positions. There are plenty or businessmen and women who have them, but unseen while working, so it's still a matter of visibility. Can't judge them if you can' see them.

agreed! I have at least 12 tattoos , but you can't tell I have any when I wear a T-shirt. I purposely did it for a reason. the tats are meaningful to me and it's not important for anyone else to see it.

It's those damn drugs again.

I wonder how many children this scum bag has killed with that shchit...

A daughter and son have multiple ones also, but you can only see one if she wears short sleeve shirts. She has her own business so it doesn't matter anyway.

Not that this is the topic of the article, but as far as the US today, I think that you are out of touch. I see plenty of visible tattoos on doctors, nurses, business people, bank managers, professors and just ordinary people. When I got a tattoo, I put it on a place where I could easily hide it, but I don't think that is necessary today.

I'm very out of touch.

The statement still holds true though. The vast majority of criminals are heavily tattooed. Outside of a hospital or doctor's office (places I haven't been in many years) the only way to tell the bad from the good is their behaviour at the moment I see them.

A Turkish tattooed individual flies from Brazil to Thailand with 12kgs of cocaine in his luggage? Stupid
