[QUOTE="jakeman, post: 3739738, member: 10690"] Pretty big. I was in sales for 37 years, and had sales volumes in excess of $10mm regularly on my territory, and was around countless people daily. Both customers and employees. I never really bothered to count though. I've also been around countless people with tat's. It has 100% been my experience that not everyone with a tat is as you say. Some are though. I've also known 1000's of people with no tats that I wouldn't employ. Some of my best employees had tat's. My experience with my employees, is if they [B]prejudged[/B] anyone, their judgement wasn't to be trusted. Likewise, anyone that would prejudge anyone based on a tat, wouldn't be able to be in a supervisory position in my employ. That was my promotion process. You've got your life experience. I've got mine. I don't know what your experience entails anymore than you do mine, but prejudging people based only on their appearance seems like a pretty damn shallow way to go thru life. I've known doctors, lawyers, judges, pilots (military & civilian), professionals & laborers, advanced degrees to HS educations that had tat's that were incredibly successful and talented. Some of the biggest lowlifes I've come across had no ink, but some did. The difference wasn't the ink. It was the character of the person, and you can't tell a person's character just by looking, even if you believe you can. I've known a lot of people that think like you. I never really cared for any of those people. [/QUOTE]
