I'm with TTT here. I don't expect what I am going to say to be popular but I am going to go ahead anyway ! These tattoos just look childish. When I was a boy in the 50's and early 60's, we used to buy packs of bubble gum with transfers in them, in the way home from school. You licked these paper transfers and then stuck them on your arm. But as soon as you got home, Mum would...

// 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?

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??

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
