there are going to be certain jobs that visibly tattooed women (and men too) cannot get. that's part of the social contract you make when you ink up.

I was just trying to point out that legislation like this wouldn't prohibit business owners from firing people for reasons tangentially related to age/gender/race/sexual preference/etc. when there's some issue that legitimately impacts the person's performance or the business as a whole. It just keeps people from going, "well, I don't like you because you're black/a woman/gay, so you're fired".

And about the bottom part..."normal" I love that word. "normal" Whos definition of normal? Yours? So should we all act how Will wants us to, because for him its normal? I figured you would get your overly defensive panties in a bunch about this. I'm not talking about normal vs. abnormal. I'm talking about what is "the norm" in society. In a society where 90% of the population is heterosexual (just using the 10% rule that's been commonly thrown around for years), I would consider being straight "the norm." That DOES NOT mean I consider homosexuals or their lifestyle abnormal. I hang out in places where heterosexuals are the norm, the most commonplace. You probably hang out in places where homosexuals are the most commonplace. But since I hang out in places that are a helluva lot more common than you, maybe it's you who needs to get your head out of your ass and realize that you're surrounded by people who are the minority in American culture.

so because you have visible tattoos you shouldnt be able to have a job? news to me I don't see too many guys working at Charles Schwab with neck tattoos. It's seen as unprofessional by the clientele they deal with. Then again, I don't see many skinny bespectacled guys wearing Brooks Brothers working as a bouncer at a Slayer concert. See what Cannonball said. -------------------- ![]() ![]() |

tattoos are so popular is unexpected that partners in swab DONT have tattoos. im willing to bet theres a few backpieces/sleeves in the mix there
we all know people, or most people probably know people, who have great jobs and have some tattoos. i certainly do swastikas on their foreheads? probably not but you know what i mean -------------------- Little monkeys making money

right. but I'm referring to visible ones while fully clothed.
my buddy Rob who just got back from Iraq works for JP Morgan and has several tats, but you can't see them in work clothes. I have a great job and my share of ink, but nothing on my forearms, neck, hands, etc. |

i have a rather large tattoo on my forearm and half sleeve and have never had a problem. ive worked in places with strict "professional attire, grooming" rules. sucks to always be in long sleeves but for 80k/yr ill wear a burka.
a chain of baby skulls on spikes around someones upper neck i can understand them not working in the educational system but i wouldnt consider that the norm. and a person with that tattoo probably has never had interest in having that kind of job -------------------- Little monkeys making money
