Hodar should have mentioned that the study he cited was limited to Australians. if we take his, and the person he is challenging's percentages at face value, then tattooing is far more common in the U.S. than there. If that is true, then prejudice against tattoos may indeed be waning here. Maybe Hodar would care to dig up a U.S. study to support his case?
I know countless of people that to you ignorants, look perfectly "normal and presentable" from the outside, but they too have body art that rarely is displayed to the public. Many I know are crazy-successful, professional members of society that felt it was their time to make a statement about themselves. I don't detest them, I admire them. It shows they are independent, free-minded people that don't adhere to some established standard of society. We need more of them, and less haters like you. Their success in life I'm sure would make yours look quite sad.
I can't say I'd admire anyone because of a tattoo, any more than I would think poorly of them, or call them vandals (they can, after all do as they wish with their own body.) Some people have good taste, others don't. Some tattoos are carefully designed statements, imbued with meaning, some aren't. Seems like a pretty personal and private thing, unless one makes a big deal of it.
I find tattoos so ugly. Pretty girl + tattoo = tramp.
Wow, just fucking wow.
I wish now every woman on the planet would run out and get a tattoo, but even better would be if every one of them chose as their tattoo the word "tramp" and tattoo'd it right across their foreheads in one big act of solidarity, and that no man who wasn't willing to kiss lovingly and affectionately the tattoo on her forehead was ever allowed to be sexual with her or any other woman ever again.

LOL! Get real. Everyone doesn't have to like or admire the same things as you. What's the big deal?

No big deal, it's nothing other than misogynists posting their offensive drivel, and then having others rush to their defence.
You've missed the point entirely, btw, I didn't say whether I like or admire tattoos or not (completely irrelevant). My issue is that it's abhorrent someone would call a woman a tramp simply because she got a tattoo, but it speaks volumes about how one thinks of women in general, regardless whether they have a tattoo or not.
At this point you can claim to be either neanderthal or cro-magnon, but not both. "LOL."

You want generalized statements? People like you live in the mid-west, would consider yourself god-fearing and religious. You are probably republican, and can't stand the Obama presidency. You have zero tolerance for LGBT people. There's a generalized statement that's probably true.
Yikes! There's nothing wrong with the mid-west. I hope you're joking and don't feel that way about the American heartland.
It may tend to be conservative, but it's pretty "live and let live" here. There are plenty of friendly, educated, open-minded folks in the midwest (Obama's from Chicago, you know.) And there are LBGT people everywhere. Although I'm sure it's difficult when people are young, medium sized mid-western towns are more loving than big cities toward people who fall into the "outlier" categories.
I am also amazed of how people willingly inject under their skin cancer causing heavy metals such as mercury, lead, antimony, beryllium, chromium, cobalt nickel and arsenic. Futhermore, some of these heavy metals in tattoos burn during MRI procedures. It does not look like tattoo parlors do a good job of informing people of the risk and issues with these heavy metals on the colored inks.
we all know first adopters are the real product beta testers for Apple products. Those of us who've been first adopters know this like we know our own names.
This nothing new. The product is a Watch. A WATCH, an iPhone accessory. Maybe stop expecting too much from A WATCH.
Wow... I guess it would make many people upset to find out that I'm a bank manager and have tattoos.
I mean, we can't be good at our jobs with tattoos right? It's 2015, grow up.
Which bank and do you have visible or full body tattoos? If you work at a small bank or have a butterfly on a hidden shoulder, this is a different matter compared to, for example, highly visible full arm tats.

<p> </p>
<p>You are judging something you have no idea about </p>
</div></div><p> </p>
Yes, I AM judging.
You see, when I hire someone, I am putting MY NECK on the line. That person I hire will represent me, represent my judgment, my company, my ability to make decisions, my integrity and my future.
You made the decision to identify yourself as a common thug, as a drug user, a criminal, a gang member. This was your decision, not mine. Whether you are one, or aren't - that's not the issue. You opted to identify yourself as a parasite - and that is exactly what these people are. Criminals, drug abusers, thugs, gang members are all parasites upon society. Without society to support them, they would die.
Now, you expect me to blindly place you - an unknown - on equal footing with someone who has opted to NOT identify himself as a parasite. And, then you somehow get the audacity to claim that I am being unfair?
Excuse me, I have a responsibility to others, besides you. I have responsibilities to my management, my co-workers, my customers and to a family that likes to have a home and occasionally eat a meal. Would you dye your hair neon pink and apply for a job, and then demand to be hired? Same thing - I will base my decision upon your background, your experience, your training and also on how I feel you will fit into my team.
If I ran a lawn service, painting company or a construction firm; there may be one set of standards. But, in the professional arena there are different standards. Welcome to Life 101
I have about 50 people working for me. All of them are professionals making over $120k. I know at least 6 of them have tattoos and two of them have tattoos that are always visible. Even out most conservative clients have never complained.
There are cases where a particular tattoo might give me pause in hiring someone. I would think more about the content than the medium. It is remarkable how narrow minded and self-important so many AI posters are.
Do you live in the hood?

What is your general business and who are your clients? Your claim is far too vague.

I've worked for multiple banks ranging from one of the largest to one of the smallest, and even when wearing a shirt and tie the one on my wrist is visible. Never had anyone complain or even question my abilities at my job. Most customers even compliment it and say they like it. (It's a skull and crossbones in case you needed to know)
Currently I work for a small bank, but previously I worked for the largest headquartered bank in Philadelphia and before that I worked for a large subsidiary of a bank headquartered in Toronto with over 1300 locations. Unfortunately, to get ahead in banking you have to skip around banks quite a bit.
I fully understand that people can have their preferences about them, I just don't understand why people have to lump anyone with any kind of tattoo being a gang member or a druggie, etc.

Just seems pertinent, if being a respected member of the community and church is important.
Bible thumpers love the old testament—It's got verses on all sides of everything!
For a more contemporary and Christic view, I'd suggest Mathew 7. It gets right to the point.

Luckily that people in my county are so not into tattoos.
And it looks like that too smart machines sometimes get into trouble.

I take it you are probably in your 20s or 30s?

30s would be correct.
