I have never seen this tattoo.

When did everyone go around looking at this tattoo?

Why wasn't I invited ?

Is is my business when these little runts rock up to interviews with full sleeves on view and react shocked when you tell them they don't have the job. It is absolutely my business and the business of the vast amount of employers out there.

There is a whole generation of young people out there in this current climate who I guess feel that it dosnt matter either way cause we are all ****ed and "I might as well look the like the coolest cat in town".

Fashion statements change and a tattoo of a swallow on your neck is there for life and so are the zero chances of that person ever getting taken seriously in the real world.

I don't have a grudge its just social commentary.

I didn't think it at the start, it seemed like a decent enough post, but now I'm starting to think you have a grudge. Your argument has gone from 'I'm all for tattoos and everything but this is a stupid message' to 'I'm an employer and I would never employ somebody with a sleeve'.

Something's up.

So, OP, what's the grudge??

Getting a Chinese writing tattoo is hilarious.
Unless you either are Chinese or at least speak Chinese.

A tattoo that states 'Only God can Judge me' is no better or worse than any other trite phrase, or any particular pictorial depiction, that other people choose to have inked on their skin.

If it means so much to that person that they just must make it an 'indelible' part of their physical make-up then good luck to them.

As a concept, i don't think that the whole area of tattoos, given that they're mostly an unnecessary by-product of vanity, is fertile ground for judgment.

Whether it be by God or anyone else.

Pretty stupid to get a taboo that's about something that doesn't exist.

OP needs to chill out. You could nearly agree with someone who's completely against tattoos, but you come across as a complete hypocrite going on that you have 4 tattoos, but oh, they're concealed, aren't you great. Then calling people with sleeves names?

Well let's see, a spot of role play - i'm also an employer and if i know that anyone walking through the door for the job interview has ink of any kind, regardless of their CV, i automatically disregard them. OP, thank you for your time, but since you have ink you're not getting that promotion. See what i did there?

Tattooing is becoming more prevalent in society as we're not as culturally oppressed as we once were, so the OP should just evolve or die, lest one of these 'little runts' over take him.

Tattoos can make an interesting person more interesting, but usually they don't look great at all. Most of them are completely out of context with the shape of the body and look like they were picked out of a catalogue, which they were.

Different tats send different messages of course, a guy with crude prison tats is clearly recognisable, in the far east you'd know a yakuza (yes they exist outside movies) by their markings.

These look good, but you can clearly see how much time and effort went into laying them out and planning in advance, serious works of art that cost a pile of foldin' money. Mostly tats look like some sort of skin disease.

Ok ok in this cold harsh sober light of day I guess I could just end this by clarifying a point.

In an ideal world people should not judge others on their appearance but everyone does, its what people do. I feel sorry for young people (I'm only 31 btw) who get very visible tattoos in very prominent places. Sure everyone thinks its super cool now but in 10 years time when looking cool is no longer a priority having "Only God can judge me" or similar type tripe tattooed down their forearm is going to be a constant reminder of the folly of their youth.

That is my whole point.... People say you should not judge others etc.... and nobody does in polite company..... but when the day is over and the curtain is called and we sit back and think to ourselves about how we feel about others after what we have seen....... so so so many of us.. you include.. will say to our selves..... Look at that cunt.... What a wanker....


Its the truth dude, don't fight it....

God doesn't judge anyone. They should be getting "only St Peter can judge me" tattoo's.

I know a guy with "You've read the book now watch the film" tattooed on his chest. I think he thought people would want to talk to him because of it. But a tattooed bare chested guy with double d man boobs and a beer belly you could rest a pizza on remains pretty unapproachable in my book.

I think this is classy!
