[QUOTE="TinkerTanker, post: 3739709, member: 50228"] For some reason i don't get emails from this site so I have to actively check back with a thread to reply. So... In my current line of work I'm around all types. From 18 year olds to people in their 50s. Generally the 50s are regretful of the opportunities they've missed from their youthful exuberance culminating in visible ink. Found the guy with the inflated self worth...... That was too easy. Of course you do, Jake. And both are based on what you see in your day to day life. I deal with literally hundreds of people daily. How big is your pool? Just food for thought. I frankly don't care if you get a tattoo or not. But if you do, you dang well better realize that people will prejudge you. If you're male, they'll think you're depressed or unstable and putting up a front, if you're female they will know that you're a practice girl, i.e. "Wanna quick splat? Find that tat." New recruits figure this out quickly. I don't really have anything else to add to the subject, but my experiences with hundreds of people have shown this to be true. If something changes, I'll adjust my thinking and promotion process. Until then, you made your bed. Now sleep in it. [/QUOTE]
