Cover themselves in the daubings of a 10 year old and wonder why they don't get the job! Please!

My eldest daughter has lots of tattoos, the largest is a scene from the mad hatter's tea party that goes right across her lower back from just above her bum to her waist. She also has very large fairy wings tattooed on her upper back.

// purely judgemental on visual pointers. //

This thing of trying to lump judgements based on peoples choices in with things like racial or other physical attributes is a complete red herring Mamya.

You cannot choose your skin tone, height, physical abilities, country of origin, sex etc, which is why it's completely wrong to discriminate or judge people on that basis.

However, the choices one makes about their appearance - clothing, hairstyle, jewellry, inkings - these all DO say something about them - that's the whole point of them isn't it?

I'm big and I'm horrible and I feel wary when around blokes with prison tats on their swede. I'd be very surprised if some of you nice middle-class people would be as comfortable as you profess to be with them. ;)

Svejk - "I'd be very surprised if some of you nice middle-class people would be as comfortable as you profess to be with them. ;)"

I am comfortable around anyone, unless or until made to feel otherwise - but then I make a point of not judging people on appearences, which is the entire thrust of this thread isn't it?

// I'd be very surprised if some of you nice middle-class people would be as comfortable as you profess to be with them. ;) //

Of course we would svejk. If 'Prison Tat' Dave says he's good with kids and he seems like a nice bloke, then who are we to presume he wouldn't make a great nanny.

[Svejk]

I don't think you'd live too long if you didn't learn to judge people by their appearance.

[Sipowicz]

I think we all judge by appearance, consciously or sub consciously!

How many tattoos did Harold Shipman have?

// I think we all judge by appearance, consciously or sub consciously! //

I don't believe anyone who claims they don't.

Ludwig,thank you for putting words in my mouth, as we were discussing tattos, I thought it clear what I meant - but for those struggling, I'll rewrite that sentence for you...



//I would rather meet someone tattooed head to toe any day if they were also open and pleasant than someone who is purely judgemental [[ on visual pointers- DELETED, because of confusion]] based on the visual impact of Tattoos.//


Hope that is now perfectly clear??

[ludwig]

// How many tattoos did Harold Shipman have? //

Five I think, including a big rose on his *** like Cheryl cole. Hitler had a couple as well.

[Mamyalynne]

It may then pay dividends if sometimes we imagined what it is like when the sense of vision is not available to us, surprisingly blind and visually impaired people can live a long life.

ANDY HUGHES, i don't think my point is disappearing, i think you are just not understanding my point.
The question is what do people expect (when they don't get a job because of big/on show tattoos)
The girl in the article is even implying that tattoos on show look unprofessional (so how can she not expect her employer to not want to employ her if she's showing them?)
People can wear whatever they like and look however they like outside of the workplace however in the workplace (unless you work in a tattoo parlour) it is more appropriate to cover them up

[ludwig]

// Hope that is now perfectly clear?? //

It was clear what you said before, but I can see you've now moved the goalposts. The criteria has narrowed considerably from 'visual pointers' to 'the visual impact of tattoos'.

Why do posters keep saying that? It does not say that in the OP.

[Mamyalynne]

Sorry you see it that way Ludwig but we were discussing Tattoos not skin colour, acne, a broken nose or a wart on the chin - if making me look as if I was referencing to race etc makes you feel superior then carry on,you've scored a point albeit you are wrong.
