Visible tattoos

[griddi]

I got a large one on my face right above my right eye and gonna get it redone and get the second side done too and on my chin.

I don't make money from photography but where I'm in my life who care what others think and hasn't hurt my normal business or life in any way.

To each his own.....but I cannot understand the present graze about these tattoos :-(......

Sooner or later, like nose piercings etc this will have passed too, and but people are stuck with their tattoos, or need to them removed, probably costly and painful.......

Also how will the tattoos look on their body, when these persons are old and have wrinkled skin ?

I also read several times, that the ink used for these tattoos is seeping into the body......

Griddi......

Graze? I think you mean craze? It’s not a craze, the art of tattooing has been around, well, quite a long time. Tattoos will not “pass”. Yes, some get them removed. That is why we say “think before you ink”.

As far as what they will look on our bodies, I can assure you that we don’t care what you think about our bodies.

I can understand that people with tattoos don't care what other non tattoos people think of their bodies, after all they can do with their body's what they like, and it is a free country, but perhaps they should also accept that not everybody else like these tattoos on a person, I personally, and even more on a female, dislike, and find them cheap looking.......

Griddi.......

Hey discriminate all you want...

I understand that people with tattoos don't care what other people think of them, so it would only be fair, if they also understand, that not everybody like tattoos .......

LOL. I know plenty of people who don’t like tattoos but they have a decent way of saying so. You don’t.

* I can assure you that we don't care what you think about our bodies *....your words , your feelings.........

* I personally dislike and find them cheap looking *... my words, my feelings......

I wrote that I can understand that tattoo people don't care what other people think.......

So please understand also that I dislike them, and find them cheap looking ..........

Depends on where you live. Here in the NE US Tattoos are so common that nobody gives them a second look (unless it's griddi) ;-).

Look at the picture, not the pixels

Ha-ha...... am sure I would not want to live where you live :-D.......

Luckily I live in South Australia , some people claim it is a bit laid back, contrary to other states of Australia, it suits me fine, and even more as tattoos are not to find here at every second person.........

Griddi.......

You forgot to type “visible” after “even more as...”

you have no idea what is hiding underneath clothing.

Marie

.......which suits me absolute fine, as I have no wish to see what is underneath :-D......

[Chaplain Mark]

I met a Law Enforcement Chaplain once who told me about the time he was called to respond to a Fire Dept incident.

The Fire Captain would not allow the Chaplain on site because that Chaplain was sleeved from shoulder to wrist, but if the Chaplain would put on a shirt to cover up the tats, he could proceed to the incident site.

I never understood that point of discrimination, in that many firefighters and sheriff's/police officers are tatted up.

I just don't get it.....

Why would someone be surprised by the status quo? That's not an argument.

I'm kinda curious what other sort of things you would discriminate against?

 

[FingerPainter]

I have to be honest and say looking through these photos, that if I was looking for a photographer to shoot my wedding, that if they had facial tattoos and the other modifications shown on some below they wouldn't be hired by me -

That's funny because 100% of all rip off/scams/bad jobs are from photographers who have no facial tattoos. What is that tell you...

How do you know ?

You're the one who insist no photographer with facial tattoos would get hired or you would ever hire one. Going by your logic

>I wonder how many are on the dole because they can't get the job they like because of their tattoos.

I'm going to guesstimate that 100% of all photographers that scammed someone or did a nasty job had no facial tattoos. So even if .0001 % of professional photographers have a facial tattoo the majority of scams/rips off/butchered commercial/wedding shots are done but photographer with no facial tattoos or tattoos at all.

Brilliant logic ...

If this wasn't a public forum I'd say see that door, go for it...

You stated that it does not make any difference if one has tattoos or not but then add "even if .0001 of professional photographers have a facial tattoo the majority...

so you are in fact saying that almost no pro-photographer has them....

how come when 20- 40% of the general public , according to some, have them ?

I think RED i is making an important distinction between the distribution of tattoos in general and the distribution of facial tattoos. 20-40% of some populations may indeed have a tattoo somewhere on their body, but the portion of the population with a facial tattoo is much smaller.

If "facial tattoo" means nothing more than "tattoo on the face" then it is an unfortunate fact that a large portion of the people in North America who have facial tattoos are people who have served time in a penitentiary. Such people are very rarely found running a photography business, so the portion of scamming by photographers being done by those with facial tattoos probably is quite low.

Somehow I think the sort of visible tattoo RED i and the OP have in mind isn't quite the same as the typical prison tat.

On the whole, while tattoos in general are currently more commonplace in western society than any time in the past half-millennium or so, some sorts of tattoos, e.g. facial or neck tatoos, are still quite rare in businesses that cater to the general public. Such tatoos, and also tatoos with apparently anti-social pictoral or verbal expressions are more likely to result in a loss of potential business. Innocuous tattoos on the arm or ankle will deter a smaller set of potential customers. Lacking any visible tattoos will very rarely result in a loss of potential business.

 

[FingerPainter]

I totally agree. I was talking more about stuff like this though.

https://www.google.com.au/search?cl...8...0i67k1.0.O-0eO4XXOa8#imgrc=x1O4pNqbJTiBVM:

I'd suggest that this is less detrimental to general business prospects than at least 63 of the 64 other illustrations on the same page. I'd also guess that it is still a net negative to business prospects, though perhaps not significantly so.
