Tattoos NSFW, according to new study.
A new study out of Texas State University reports that people with tattoos and body piercings are unpopular at the office. Folks surveyed said that they would rather not work alongside people with lip rings and tramp stamps--that would be the tattoo above the lower back that many Hollywood starlets favor.
Even worse, the people with tattoos and body piercings didn't trust their own. A survey of more than 150 people revealed that even those adorned would think twice before buying business insurance from someone with tattoos and piercings. FYI: I have a tattoo and I welcome any tattooed freak to try and sell me some business insurance.
This discrimination reminds me of the daft women who won't vote for Hillary Clinton solely because she is a woman. Shouldn't the inked and pierced support their own? Reuters reports more here, including the fact that 30 years ago, only one percent of the population had a tattoo. In 2006, 24% of America had gotten inked.
But the real question is: Would you vote for someone tattooed for President?

AS some one who is tattoo'ed head to toe, I can vouch that even I scare tattoo'ed people. I am 6'6" tall and 240lbs. That alone might worry most people, but on a hot summer day with shorts and a tank top, they RUN. I have no hate, nothing gross or morbid, nothing with anger, and yet I get judged all the time. People first think I am a skin head. Would a skin head have Spanish and Kanji on him? Bah! I actually have a desk job, designing website for an American Indian Tribe here in the northwest. Funny, the whites call me a skinhead, the Indians call me "Jason'.
Would I vote for a tattoo'ed president? Yes, but not because he has tattoo's :)

People fear what they dont understand, and most are too afraid to actually walk up, strike up a conversation, and try to come to a better understanding of what drives someone to adorn their body using various means, be it scarification, tattooing, piercing, branding, the list goes on and on. I my self, would vote (if i could) for a president who is tattooed, because this is a person who's not afraid to be who they are, no matter what people think, and who is willing to put peoples opinions of them on the back burner, to get what they want
