Peep this next reactionary shit going down. People are being discriminated against for having tattoos.
Cover up tattoos, some employees told
This shit is why I don’t believe that terrorists hate the freedoms of the U.S. How many different ways do we find to discriminate against each other? If you are Black you are fucked the fuck up, if you are poor, muslim, old, disabled, retarded and now, if you have tattoos. WTF?!?
I never got into the tattoo shit because it required a level of commitment that I couldn’t muster, but who the fuck cares about tattoos? America, you need to stop this bullshit.
Yo DP check this I got my neighborhood Retard on Camera supporting Obama

on one hand, the new rules suck because they’re only reinforcing the totalitarianism system of politrikkks and bullshit dedicated to continually keep the remaining 5% below the surface, which is just wrong. on the flip though, some cats are just stupid with theirs to begin with. as a person with tattoos myself [including a shoulder-to-elbow length sleeve dedicated to the four elements of hip-hop that is my favorite one] i’ve always had a self-rule to never get any body art in a place i can’t cover up with at least a long-sleeve shirt.
i was at a tattoo spot a few years ago, and some barely-18 kid got a trojan magnum wrapper on his hand because as he said, “he gets money and he likes to fuck.” i was on the train last week and saw a latino crip [which itself is an oxymoron given all the black on brown crime we got over here] with, among other atrocities, teardrops under his left eye and his set’s name on his neck. now if i were an employer i wouldn’t hire any of those two meatheads even to man the mops. that shit’s resoundingly unprofessional and just flat-out stupid, as well as perpetuates the disheartening notion that our future is becoming more stupid by the ejaculate.
i also wanted to add, this shit’s becoming more and more like “idiocracy” by the minute.

DP some of these folks are a bit ridiculous with the tatts. I have a tattoo on my back but this is a safe place because I can hide and expose it as I like. These fools with ish all over their face, neck and hands need to understand that employment won’t be easy for them. I work as a HR Manager for a health care organization and we actually have a policy regarding tattoos and piercings. Folks basically need to cover up/remove ish before they are hired/report to work.
This is why i never got a tattoo. In mostly everything I do, i think about how it can impact my opportunities years in advance and I predicted this.
All the examples above are just fucking stupid. A condom rapper on your hand because you like to fuck and get money? Seriously? What a porch monkey.
You can get a dumb ass tattoo for less that $30, but to remove that bitch costs you $8K. And these fucktards want to tat their face? I blame rap music, specifically man kissing monroe pierced Weezy.
I got multiple inkage… and from my first piece at 18 to my most recent one 3 months ago I’ve always stuck to the “Corporate Tattoo Rule”. When I was a young and determined youth I still stuck to my one plan – No ink below the elbows unless I made the NFL. Well since that didn’t happen I didn’t do it. I don’t regret my tattoos they’re snapshots of where I was in my life when I got it. Plus I got about 3 more lined up in the chamber this winter. All of that said I can still go on a corporate golf outing and they’re none the wiser…. Now if they have a pool at the next corporate retreat? Well then thats different… But I’m sure there will be more pressing body image issues in the area than my ink…

You’re smart. You gave some thought to the location of your tattoos. I do despise the women who have mickey mouse tattoos on their ankles or RIP tattoos on their chest and some corny ass flower on their shoulder blade damn near touching their collar bone on their way to work.
What about locks? it’s the same way for those….in most major corps. I couldn’t find corporate work at all. Non profits don’t seem to care
This does look promising. I’ll keep coming back for more.
