Tattoos

[Deleted member 15344]

Not because he has a tattoo, but because he has that particular tattoo.
I didn't say he was a bad person .............. but he certainly isn't a normal human being.
He's most probably an utter bellend and that's why I wouldn't employ him or want him anywhere near my workplace or staff.
He may even have had that tattoo just to avoid getting work.

Certainly a lot of judgements there - put it this was I would prefer him over someone who smokes , someone who stinks the place out and makes a conscious choice to put chemicals in them that have been proven to either kill someone or give that person a killer disease.

So what's a worse case of being a bellend as you call it - someone having a tattoo which ultimately causes zero harm to anyone or someone smoking which could cause harm to them and others around.

Sorry but what as smoking got to do with this?

Would you give this bloke a job as a policeman ...................... or any job at all?
I wouldn't, he wouldn't even get a proper interview.
Thinking about it, he would probably never want a job in the first place.

Screenshot from Jeremy Kyle by any chance?

As much as I try to avoid the programme. That looks like a jermemy Kyle drop back. For that reason I'd say the tattoo is just one reason on a long list of reasons why he wouldn't get/go for a job.......

I have one. And think when done well they can look great. Being realistic though. Most industries where customer interaction is required will avoid people with over bearing tattoos. As this post shows. Not everyone is a fan and a company won't want to alienate any potential customers.

Some me might not like that idea, but it's simple business practice, much like the majority of sales people's in phone shops etc being aesthetically[FONT=Roboto-Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, HelveticaNeue, sans-serif-light, Arial, sans-serif] [/FONT]pleasing.

Looks more like he's paid a pound at the school fete face-painting stall rather than had a tattoo.

I knew a guy who had a spiders web that covered the whole of his face, amongst other tattoos. You would not employ him he was the resident village idiot and thief.

Obviously I'd sooner employ a smoker, as I'm sure would the VAST majority of people.

So serious question Phil.
It's mens invitation day at your club. Biggest day of the year, hobnobbing with the secretary, club captain, fellow members etc. You want, of course, to create the "right" impression.
Who you gonna take, Mr Tattoo face or a mate who dresses and looks a little more "normal" but who nips outside occasionally to have a smoke?

It's down to perception......
He could be the nicest bloke in the world.
But he looks intimidating.
Why would you have a tattoo like that unless you wanted to intimidate?
It looks nasty, it makes him look nasty....therefore, in the eyes of most, he is nasty.
In a customer facing workplace he'd scare everyone to death
Because of his looks
In this instance, what he is actually like is massively over-ridden by his image.
If he came for an interview with me, he'd be on the No list almost as soon as he walked through the door.
As would anyone whose image portrays anger, hate, intimidation or similar.

If you want to be different
Stand out from the crowd
Be an individual
Know your own mind
Don't follow the crowd.........

Don't have a tattoo

Id say have one of those Henna tattoos which you can change every 2-3 weeks

Is that his actual name, that'd be useful cos at an interview he's already put it on the application, so no need to be surprised when he walks in!

Also worth pointing out that smoking is illegal in the workplace.
So if anyone is "stinking the place out" or "poisoning others" they're breaking the law. 👍🏻

Can't really see the comparison because one is looking at friends you take and none of my friends have tattoos like that or smoke

But I would take whichever is the best golfer or whoever is the better friend or the most enjoyable company etc etc with tattoos being at the bottom of any judgement list

Sorry Phil. My prerogative but I don't believe you mate.
Sorry.

So, in 25 years time your new daughter brings his simarly tattoo'd son home and says she's going to marry him, I guess you'd be delighted?

Sorry.

I think if you've known a person with those tattoos for years and they're a great friend then it's plausible. I wouldn't sack a best mate off if they got one done.

that being said it we were picking teams and it came down to two strangers. On covered in tattoos and one I'd spotted having a quick smoke outside. I'd be with the majority who my choice.

Is it twenty questions time ?!

It's quite simple - I would never judge someone based on any tattoos they have unlike a good number of people on here.

Known plenty outstanding guys who have tattoos and even one of our field engineers has a tribal tattoo on his face and is superb at his job sees customers and they have comment on how good he is with them and the job he does.

But you'd judge somebody on the basis that they smoke????

Again if someone wants to put chemicals that kill them into themselves then that's their choice - just prefer to be not near me to ensure I don't get any of he smoke

Quite a lot less than you used to ask when you were allowed unlimited posts
