Today, my calculus professor for this semester showed her sleeve and it made me so happy to see that she's the head of my university's math department and she can show them. I have a tattoo on my forearm and thigh and it's nice to see someone thrive in a professional career at a place I can do professional research at. I also work in a restaurant. 5 years ago, they wanted people to cover up their tattoos but as of the past 2 years they allow them to be shown as long as they aren't inappropriate or offensive.

My absolute favorite experiences are when senior citizens, 75+ come up to me and start a conversation with me about my tattoos in a positive light. Normally it's a woman and I think she's about to give me shit for my horror/macabre ink.
She instead comments on how good the line work is. How the artist was able to use the gray & white tones to create a different "feeling" to the overall presence, the color saturation and details he was able to punch in.
While I stand their dumbstruck that she, a blank canvas, even knows what these things are and isn't telling me that I'm going to Hell for marring the body Jesus sacrificed his life for.
The conversation normally ends with her telling me that she gained acceptance for tattoos when her granddaughter or grandson got one. That she/he now comes over every Tuesday night and they watch Ink Master together. A few times they've even told me that they've gone to conventions together.

I'm a nurse and I am so happy to say that recently the policy of not having visible tattoos has changed, at least where I work. I am very heavily tattooed and it's so great now that I don't have to wear long sleeves all the time and cover them up. I always hated trying to hide all my artwork and 90% of my patients, regardless of their age, comment on and love my ink. I've even had a couple doctors say they love it! I'm very happy that the stigma is finally going away...

the reason i don't have tattoos on my forearms is because of my work but not why you might think, i work in dog grooming and the last thing i want is a dog biting or scratching a fresh tattoo and getting it infected or having a healed tattoo ruined with scaring from a deep scratch. (cutting pug nails gives me a new scar every time).

I got my first tattoo while I was a Benedictine monk at age 18. I’ve since left the abbey (for reasons unrelated to my tattoos) and worked in education and healthcare. Now I work in HR and I moonlight as a hospice nurse. I even live in a real conservative area and my tattoos have never slowed me down work-wise. Employers want to make money. They respond to your ability to add value to their company way more than they respond to your appearance. Learn a handful of marketable skills and do them well and you’ll have an easier time in the workplace than people who look the part but don’t have anything going on between their ears.

why do people think tattoed people are unemployed or lazy, they had to earn so much money to be able to get all of those tattoos
