Your views on tattoos and wether they affect your workload.

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

Harsh.

Funny!

But harsh.......

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.

I was going to slate you for this but it looks like the lads treat you with the same amount of respect. ...

How many free pens did you get today???

 

[Dotty]

How many free pens did you get today???

9. And a torch. And a bottle opener. And a ruler. And a scale rule. And a Vaillant note book. And a Vaillant thermos mug. And a calor gas woollie hat. And a FloGas baseball cap. And a Riello tee shirt. And a tec7 hi viz. And some Vaillant keyrings. And a tec7 bag. And a Vaillant bag.

I'm on a Viessmann course on Friday. I might just use the vaillant note pad and pen.

Then see what other freebies I can blag......

 

[Howsie]

i dont have any, but if your offering i would have a sleeve done and some

however, its down to taste and what they are. for example, you would loose many jobs with a swasticker? on your forhead or diy hot needle work dipped in the school ink, wouldnt you?

i would also like to read this one evening, cover to cover. :yes:
