Do you look down on people with tattoos?

freshpopcorn

Not really but most of the local criminals and trouble makers would have tattoos.
Tattoos kind of confuse me a little to be honest. I see people with religious tattoos for example and they don't seem to have religion in their lives for example.

Like maybe that their parents split, so they didn't have a mother to tell them not to get the fcuking thing.

Yep, that like most stereotypes is nonsense. Tattoos are very common in all walks in many modern cities all over the world. I'd say Ireland, being small, is behind elsewhere in tattoos not being any kind of deal.

I can kind of see what you mean to a degree about it being a class thing as years ago I guess tattoos were reserved for those who may be working class or of a celebrity status.

I could not see myself viewing someone negatively if they have tattoos. I could also not imagine tattoos negatively influencing a persons career path. Although this may be the case in some occupations.

I have met many types of strange people with and without tattoos and I can ascertain that people are people regardless of a tattoo.

If the OP wishes to judge those with tattoos then go ahead. It is your choice. I would like to make the point clear that I personally know nurses, doctors and teachers and with tattoos. So I would not be quick to judge based upon looks. As someone with a tattoo may help or save your life one day.

It is their body and not yours, I am sure there are far more important things to express concern over than a few tattoos.

I don't really get tattoos it is like a screen saver/desktop image you can't change.

I wouldn't look down on people who have tattoos but I do find I would judge the person on the type of tattoo they have.

Because that person must have put that tattoo on thier skin for some reason, and put a bit of thought into it.

If it is of something ridiculous or looks crap/cliched I think 'yeah there you go.'
But if it is something original and nice I think 'fair play to ya.'

I watched that tattoo fixers a few times on channel four and I got to be honest, I am amazed at the ones that get covered up with even worse ones at times.

I think the tattoo has to have some personal meaning to the person otherwise what's the point?

Tattoos will go out of fashion fairly soon and when they do lots of people will regret having them.

It's just an attention seeking thing I suppose.

The same with people converting to Islam/Muslim and what not.

Most people who accuse others of being insecure and in need of some type of validation are, in actual fact, insecure and in need of some type of validation themselves.

To each their own. Don't see why it's anybody else's business if someone has a tattoo and the idea that it siggests something about a person is ridiculous.

I'm yet to get one myself but it's something I want to get done at some point.

I bet this fella is reconsidering his decision to get a tattoo! After all, isn't that why he revealed to me that he is going to get one... because he's still slightly unsure, and therefore wanted to see what I'd say!

Pity more than anything else for falling for the fad...

Just like how in the water charges thread you said all the protestors are dole drawers and therefore must be uneducated. And in another thread you said that because someone was working class that you assumed they flush nappies down the toilet.

You're too dumb to even see that all your stereotyping is in fact making you yourself a stereotype. Of an out of touch middle class snob with notions.

Don't have any myself and not a fan.

Each to their own, but I don't see the appeal of drawing on yourself in permanent ink like so many others to show how individual you are.

I wouldn't look down on someone but it would put me off them a bit.

Hey OP,

I work in purchasing, my brother is a member of the Gardai, one of my sister's is a nurse and the other is in the forensic science field ( we're not allowed actually know what she does).

Two of us have a good few tattoos between us, the others don't.

What social circle do we come from?

PS. The 1950s called, they want there view on people with tattoos back ;D

FFred

Tattoos used to be for a certain minority of people but now I think they are naff

they are skanky, for women and men.

not associated with intelligence.

When I see senior managers with tattoos I often think to myself "fair play to you for getting so far, it's a pity you had to let yourself down with that disgusting ink marking on your wrist.

When I see tattoos, all I think is that such a person is likely from a certain social class, that they're a trend follower, that they probably smoke, or that they're seeking validation of some sort. Effectively, tattoos all look the same, and all look horrible. I don't think much people pay attention to what the tattoos are, and more so "oh he's got a tattoo"

You are the classic snob, you think you are better than others and always judge a book by its cover. You are shallow and most likely selfish. Your parents probably worked hard to provide for you and you were most likely spoilt growing up and it appears you still are.

...look tattoos have always tended to suit people living certain walks of life. To a degree but it’s regular people now who are overdoing it - keep it under wraps is all I’m saying when it’s winding down your limbs and encroaching on ur face then it’s spiiralling out of control

I used work with an Israeli Jew , he had his grandmothers ID number tattooed on her inside forearm.
The old lady survived the Holocaust.

I don't have any tattoos and it doesn't bother me if someone else has them... Some look good, some horrendous...
Tattoos can always be removed though, unlike your snobbish attitude. You sound like a spoilt child tbh, you need to step back and look at your own issues

dartboardio

So the result of this thread is

As much as the OP would like it to, tattoos will never and can never tell you what type of person someone is. Or occupation they have.

Sorry OP!

Actually tells a lot about the OP themselves considering they’ve never seemed to come across someone with a ‘higher occupation’ or social class with tattoos. They’re everywhere! :V

Ill be honest and say yes i dislike them. I dont see the point in them but i wouldnt care wbo has them either.

I’m not religious, but I find a lot of religious imagery incredibly beautiful, so I would personally consider getting a religious themed tattoo.

If someone chooses to look down on me because of my tattoos, that’s their issue and it says more about them tbh.

Other people’s opinions of me are none of my business

I don't look down on people with tattoos, but don't really like them and wouldn't get one myself.

Most of them are **** as well, let's be honest about it.

No. I'm covered in them. But, these days I just take my clothes off and go to bed. I don't look down at myself.

Don't look down on them, but great big horrible ones in full view are IMHO some sort of attention seeking...... I think they're awful looking things no matter how artistic they are. God awful, but hey it's their body and their bill to pay for expensive laser removal when they're old and wrinkly

They're so ubiquitous now that people don't really care either way. My only concern is hiring someone sporting a tattoo that's actually some unsavoury affiliation that I'm not aware of but which might be a problem with clients. I prefer to not have to consider them.

It's tough to tattoo them without looking down on them.

No, but in my old age I now find I've started looking down on people who look down on others because of the way they look.
