Hey, stoopid 18 YO kid: years & years fr now, the uncontemplatable (yeah, I know it’s a big word)will happen: your skin will get leathery, saggy, & as if that’s not an attractive enough prospect (despite what science would have u believe, there is no defying the law of skin gravity!), the so-called artwork is gonna fade or turn ugly color–ya ever seen greenish tatoos?

Then, those many years later, you’ll be, in the words of the joker, “just a freak, LIKE ME!”

How awful must life be that you have to do all this wierdo junk to your skin? I saw a very attractive girl yesterday that had he lip pierced. It takes the eye away from her beauty and focuses it on that horrible hole where it shouldn’t be.

Carny: Uncontemplatable isn’t a word, nice try though. If you really want to impress folks with your intelligence, try actually spelling out common words.

Tattooing is an art form, plain and simple. I have roughly 90% of my back tattooed; it’s been 13 years, and I don’t regret it at all. A tattoo will only sag if you’re fat or lose muscle mass, and neither will happen to me. All tattoos will fade, but compulsively using sunblock helps a huge amount, and having your tattoo retouched every 5 – 7 years keeps it looking new.

I avoided having any ink that a plain t-shirt could not cover because of biases such as shown in this clip. Having a tattoo on your hand does not impair your ability to complete your work. Twenty years from now this kind of prejudice simply won’t be found, tattoos are quickly becoming the norm, and not the exception.

Boo-hoo-hoo!!! The city won’t hire me because I DECIDED to cover myself with tramp-stamps! Boo-hoo-hoo!!!!!!

Hey, white folks was wild once, too!

I think the city should outlaw hiring fat people too or guys who don’t have a full head of hair.

Praise God! Let the FAGS and FREAKS work in the dark where they have sold their soul.

Tragic! Chipping away at our cuvul rights….telling us we all must look a like, act alike, be alike….scary as all heck. No better than Iran!!!!

We will rule the world, Yes. We will come out of our collective caves & any of YOU who don’t have 30 lbs of metal stapled & pierced fr your head to your nutsack & aren’t covered in a sea of ink will suffer the label of “…boring!”

COOL! It’s ABOUT TIME someone showed some brains and guts in this regard. People who sport pierces lips, chins, brows, noses, or tattoos of barbed wire etc. are SICKENING to look at.

It is a well-researched FACT that people who pierce themselves and sport tattoos are MORE LIKELY to wind up in PRISON. BULL to all the arguments to the contrary!

This is the first SMART thing we’ve ever heard that UTAH has ever done (LOL). Bountiful, UT, here we come!

Tattoo an ART FORM?? Maybe for Polynesians and Celtic Warriors of Bygone Eras. For modern-day PUNKS and IDIOTS, tattooing just shows that you have bad judgment, attitude problems, and self-hatred. And even more so for those who PIERCE themselves–especially when they do it in their FACE. They are literally saying “I HATE MYSELF and I HATE THE WORLD; I WANT YOU TO SUFFER WHEN YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT ME!” Makes a person want to THROW UP to have to be waited on by such a metal-studded face in a restaurant or store. BAN THIS CR*P!

SO GLAD someone in Utah has taken a stand on this baloney!

Don: “Tattooing is an art form, plain and simple.”

So is crapping on a crucifix. Normal people don’t view it, and normal people don’t do it.

“I have roughly 90% of my back tattooed; it’s been 13 years, and I don’t regret it at all.”

Of course you don’t regret your stupidity. You’re stupid.

“A tattoo will only sag if you’re fat or lose muscle mass, and neither will happen to me.”

You poor naive kid.

“All tattoos will fade, but compulsively using sunblock helps a huge amount, and having your tattoo retouched every 5 – 7 years keeps it looking new.”

Normal people have better things to do.

‘I avoided having any ink that a plain t-shirt could not cover because of biases such as shown in this clip.”

Yeah. Normal people are biased against FREAKS.

“Having a tattoo on your hand does not impair your ability to complete your work.”

It simply signals your inability to make good decisions.

“Twenty years from now this kind of prejudice simply won’t be found, tattoos are quickly becoming the norm, and not the exception.”

Only among the freaks.

Tattoos are good.

They brand people as having way too much self-involvement and too little judgment and thus individuals who make poor dates, partners, employees, employers or service professionals. In short, they save the rest of us a lot of time that would otherwise be spent finding out a normal looking person is actually incompetent.

So I say: If you want a visible tattoo, please get one.

Bobo,

Where to start? It’s taking me quite a while to write this up, due to spontaneous laughter from your post.

According to you, I’m a stupid kid. I’m 34, and am a business owner. Stupidity doesn’t really mesh with business owner, and if I’m still a child at 34 I’d like to know when I’ll be “all growed up”.

You must really think the world is full of freaks. According to the Pew Research Center, 40% of those aged 26 – 40 have at least one tattoo. 40%! Don’t believe it? How about the Harris Poll showing 36% of those aged 25 – 29 have at least one tattoo?

Tattoos *are* becoming the norm. You can whine, pout, and name call all you want, but it won’t change that fact. Employers limiting themselves to those who don’t have a tattoo are losing out on a huge percentage of the workforce for a ridiculous reason.

Bobo,

“Where to start? It’s taking me quite a while to write this up, due to spontaneous laughter from your post.”

You’re too easily amused. Definitely a sign of immaturity.

“According to you, I’m a stupid kid. I’m 34, and am a business owner.”

A 13-year-old who mows lawns for a living is a “business owner”. Try again.

“Stupidity doesn’t really mesh with business owner, and if I’m still a child at 34 I’d like to know when I’ll be “all growed up”.”

When you realize that there are a LOT of stupid business owners? You’re still a child. I’ve been a business owner longer than you’ve been alive, kid.

“You must really think the world is full of freaks.”

Nope. See? You’re a child, and as such, you make things up.

“According to the Pew Research Center, 40% of those aged 26 – 40 have at least one tattoo.”

Small. Innocent. Innocuous. Hidden.

“Tattoos *are* becoming the norm.”

Only in your freakish little world.

“You can whine, pout, and name call all you want, but it won’t change that fact.”

The fact that you think I’m whining or pouting only shows that you’re a clueless child. Yes, I’m calling names. That’s another word for “labeling something for what it is”. When you grow up, you’ll understand.

“Employers limiting themselves to those who don’t have a tattoo are losing out on a huge percentage of the workforce for a ridiculous reason.”

I’m an employer. I’m not losing out on anything when I select who works for me. I select those with good judgement and class. I wouldn’t hire you to scrub our toilets.

That suggestion is stupid, but of course you’re not smart enough to understand why.

Mr D: “I think the city should outlaw hiring fat people too or guys who don’t have a full head of hair.”

Self-mutilation is a choice. If you want to look like a convict or carnival worker or gang member or prostitute, go right ahead. If it makes you feel tough or like a cool hip-hop person, be my guest. It’s your call. But don’t whine about it if others think your looks are sickening. Why stop with a piece of metal through your skin? How about a bone in your nose?

The point is, do what you like. But if others find you repulsive at your very sight and won’t hire you, too bad for you. You may have a right to do what you want to your own body, but you can’t force me to hire you, promote you or even respect you. By the way, ever heard of Hepatitis C? Look at the prisons-virtually all inmates are tattooed. Same for gangbangers and prostitutes. Sure, there are veterans and cops who want to act tough and look hard, but that doesn’t make them smart. And most have enough sense to make sure their mutations are not visible on the job.

i knew a neurosurgeon who refused to operate on any person with 3 or more tattoos…..why? i hear you cry…..lawsuit factor based on lack of self respect was his answer. cant say i agree completely but its his choice.

[...] bother applying for that sweet City Sanitation gig you always wanted. The city of Bountiful, Utah just passed a law prohibiting the hiring of new city workers that have visible tattoo’s and piercings (with the [...]

Excellent post! Thanks.

“A tattoo will only sag if you’re fat or lose muscle mass, and neither will happen to me.”

sigh…….I used to believe such bollocks!

“A tattoo will only sag if you’re fat or lose muscle mass, and neither will happen to me.”

Oh, you poor naive child!
