So I had this crazy thought as I was sitting in court this morning watching what the cat drug in. I'm immediately drawn to the fact that everyone walking in the door is tatt'd and, not very well. (not to mention I'm the only one in a suit) It seems to me that you can almost tell the persons intelligence level by the type, placement and, quality of the tattoo. Booby and neck tattoo's, very low IQ. Most likely unemployed or employable. Hands, blacked out or, over the collar tats, 7-11 late shift employee at best. A lot of these tattoos I'm seeing look like somebody practiced with a marker? Not a lot of thought? Just happy to join the club perhaps? I dunno but I'm remembering a scene from the great Judge Roy Bean where he says,"Your guilty as hell or you wouldn't be here!" And then I remember I'm on the opposite side of the bench to. Then the ol' lady says to me,"Look at that scumbag-biker-fuck with the shitty tattoos!" Seeing the look on my face she adds,"But yours are nice." Whew, I'm still in the job market!:teeth
 
wonder where the hell i'd fall into your categories...

i'm about 25% covered



edit: dammit now i miss Droopy's posts....
 
We have a driver who works for us who is 19 and just got a neck tat. His future is not very bright.
 
the ones i have and future ones will always be in a spot that can be covered up.

Name Face and neck tattoos are a huge no no for me.

and ill just leave this here....

You're stereotyping. I know some pretty smart assholes with a lot of visible tatts. Neck and hands included. :|

I trust them before I'd trust a suit :twofinger
 
all of this is true but those tatted and in court displaying poor inkmanship are probly not the sharpest tool in the shed.......
not to be judgemental yet poor decision making can emerge from a poor mind.
 
i have several tattoos and i can work for years at a place and nobody every knew about it...
 
I find that I judge people more harshly on incorrect punctuation and spelling than by their tattoo subjects, location, and/or quality.
 
In my line of work, tattoos are generally frowned upon. I have a few large ones, but they are well covered by my uniform. Some one with neck, facial, or hand tattoos would have a hard time getting a job here.

I like tattoos. I respect the art and the personal investment people make with them. However...a person could really make it difficult for themselves by marking up visible areas on their body with poor workmanship. Nothing says "loser" like sloppy ink on highly visible body parts. i.e. anything on the face.
 
Last time I was in court while wearing a suit, a lady confused me for a lawyer. Not her lawyer, just ANY lawyer, then she proceeded to confess that her boyfriend was a "good man" and would never harm her son.

Moments later said boyfriend stands before the man to be delivered charges of molestation, rape, and oral copulation of a minor.

Don't recall any tattoos on this couple.

You might have missed the operative word in westie's post... "Quality" :laughing

Neck tats generally aren't a sign of a scum bag. Bad neck tats are.
 
You know what I use as an intelligence test? Correct spelling and punctuation in thread titles. :twofinger



The apostrophe is used to indicate omissions (the contraction "can't" from "cannot") or possession: "The tattoo's size is not important." If you want to indicate a plural, DO NOT USE AN APOSTROPHE. "Lots of people have multiple tattoos, and some people have one, but almost no one has exactly two." http://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/apostro.asp
 
I'd have a tattoo but I'm not bright enough to think of something I'd like that hasn't been done before.
 
lol. good friend. brilliant brit. mr. conservative executive. probably one of our next vp's. destructor madman outside the office. totally covered with tats except for what shows when he's wearing a suit.
