The funny thing is in the automotive industry I deal with lots of older people who you would think would dislike them, but in actuality they really like them and ask me about them all the time, sometimes too much.











Plus some others I can't get pic of right now.

awesome

i believe you live in a stuffy boring world. what's the point in making money if you don't have fun?

for the record, i worked in one of the largest corporations in the world for over a decade and had tatttos. in addition, i do professional business with some of the largest companies in the world now and yes, i still have tattoos. not only that, i'm adding some more next week.
Is this true? Or did you just make it up for emphasis? I'm just curious as to your source. If there's an "Executive Tat" magazine, where Bill Gates shows off the flaming death's skull on his chest, I haven't seen it.

This I would not like to see. There might be a reason they don't show them.

Oh shit I will never go trough his portfolio without a grin again. Could you ruin Elop for me also now, and tonight would be so much more interesting for me?

Still, it might be different here than in the EU, but we don't really judge based on these anymore. The thing of course is, what the tattoo says, and getting something truly idiotic in skin is never vise. I'll be happy to help you with this one, since I'm a total no life, and I have no filter, and I'm more than happy to judge, belittle, humiliate, destroy and sometimes even like what you are suggesting to getting done.

Just say the word, and do note that anything remotely like tribal ones will get you the permanent tittle of an idiot.

I am sorry your sensibilities are offended, "friend". But this is the real world. It's never nice and rarely pretty.

Good luck with your crusade in trying to change hearts and minds. Maybe you can waive your magic wand and eradicate racism, sexism and unfair labor practices while you're at it.

Yes, let us all just stand still with no progress, since nothing will chance anyway.

If you excuse me now, I'm going to go and iron the husbands shirts, so he will be presentable in the workplace.

Never gona happen.

Elop? Isn't he the dude with the teardrop tat under his left eye? Major executive cred, right there.

Interesting. That article is also from 11 years ago. I wonder what the situation looks like now.

Just give up, some attitudes never change. I was told that I can't buy a car with a manual by a dealer, since a female need two hands to drive. I understand completely how a tattoo (not a redneck one) will completely ruin your life, since only the perfect and the white are to be seen.

It's one of the best sights in the world when you can see the world crashing around a person when their belief system in these is rocked.

Haha, you know I will do what I always do, just practice being nice to people. Also I will try to use logic or a sensible head to reason with people who either chose to perpetuate the problem or sit idly by.

I live in the same world you live in. We both choose to interact with it differently.

edit: not trying to fight with you. I completely understand what you are saying, but I think you believe it's OK being like that.
