Your views on tattoos and wether they affect your workload.

The are two types of people I dont get in life:

6ft tall birds wearing high heels
6ft tall blokes with tattoos

As you can tell I dislike being intimidated.

Could be one in the same....depending on the day of the week.

A lad I know has a large clock tatooed on his back .

I asked him why the clock he said to symbolise the time he was born.

8 said but it has no hands .

His answer .... couldn't afford them !

I had to read that twice. Totally misread clock!

I actually thought why would a random bloke have a picture of Riley on his back?!

I just don't get tattoos, never been inclined to get myself permanently drawn on and don't think they look good on people.
I don't judge someone who has them most of the time.
There are exceptions though, I don't know if it's the same everywhere else, but about 10 years ago everyone round here on benefits started to get cheap badly drawn tattoos. They'd post them up on facebook.
I remember one really badly drawn foot on someones ankle, looked like a blind T-rex had drawn it, the poster put something like ''for my baby'' and it got a gazillion likes, she's gone on to have one on her neck of some really badly drawn pentagrams that get smaller from her shoulder to her jawline, that one has the caption ''For all the little stars, taken too soon'' What the actual eff??!
Back to the topic, I think tattoos might lose you work. If someone dislikes them and judges the person with them and they get 2 similar quotes where the other guy doesn't have drawings on him, then maybe you'll lose out. I don't think there's that many people like that though tbh.

Im starting to think that I can simply wear long sleeved tops when visiting customers for the first time and then once they see I'm a nice chap I can roll up the sleeves and crack on doing what I do. I fully agree that face and neck tats are probably a lot less acceptable however I've never fancied one of those areas done anyways. If all else fails I could always get it lasered off lmao

Without wanting to ruin my image as the forum tough nut I don't think I could handle the pain of a tattoo. I was nearly in tears when I stubbed my toe this morning.

All mine are covered but I'm booked in to start my sleeve in two weeks
