I’m general I agree, but I draw the line at face tattoos. If you have face tattoos I assume you are dumb as sticks.
For all you inked people

I’ve seen people describe face and neck tattoos as the “everlasting job stopper”
jol@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
Depends on the job tbh. I couldn’t care less about a software developer with face tattoos even if I think less of their life choices.

tl,dr the man got a tattoo on his face because he knew that would disqualify him for any job except playing pro football.

I feel like face tattoos are judged too harshly at one point in time all tattoos were judged as harshly as face tattoos. All of it is arbitrary who cares if someone chose to get a tattoo on their face?
I wish people could do what they want to their bodies without judgment but I don’t see that ever happening.
freddydunningkruger@lemmy.world 2 months ago
People change throughout their entire lives, and ideas that seemed effin’ cool when we were young and pretty, well, maybe they felt less cool as we sobered up and aged. I think most of us can relate to the feeling that once or twice, the younger version of ourselves sure was a goddamned idiot who made some dumbass decisions that made our future life twice as hard as it needed to be.
But yeah, nothing screams cool like a 50+ year old with face tattoos.
Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
I would actually not care or measure that into my judgment. At one particular time in their life, this felt like a great idea to them. We didn’t live their life, we can’t know. It might even make up for a great story to tell.
And on top of that: I see no difference to make-up, except it’s permanent. Women paint their faces like they’re applying to Clowns college and noone bats an eye. A nice face-tattoo is just more plainly identifieable as paint than good good makeup.
Not talking about a swastika or other stupid messages of course. If you portrait stupid messages I’m forced to deduct you’re stupid.
boonhet@lemm.ee 2 months ago
The permanence IS the most important difference though. One requires you to knowingly make the decision you’ll have it on your face forever.
jol@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
Make up not being permanent is a big reason why it’s perfectly OK to use it even if you look like a clown. I’m a dude and occasionally use make up at certain parties.
You seem to agree with me that face tattoos are a terrible idea, but you empathise with their idiot younger selves. I get it, and probably IRL I would not be so merciless. But I prefer that my kids know that face tattoos are a terrible idea even if some people will show them some sympathy.

I possibly would allow ones around the edges, and of course Maori face tattoos are fine; but otherwise, yeah.

OK, fine. I will take face tattoos on a case by case basis but they’re walking on thin ice.

Years ago I was asked by a recruiter if I had any tattoos and piercings - I don’t, but told them I wasn’t interested in working for a client who’d let that get in the way of hiring the right people.

I still laugh at recruiters who ask if I’m okay that the company has a dress code.
I laugh even harder if it’s a remote position.

“Showing up on time” is the lowest possible bar, isn’t it?
I’m reminded of the Chris Rock bit about people bragging about “paying their bills” and “taking care of their family” as if it’s a huge accomplishment. These are just things you’re supposed to do!

“Showing up on time” is the lowest possible bar, isn’t it?
Recently I found an old school yearbook. My entry was written by someone who barely knew me. Said something about me showing up on time all the time. Now, I was like “holy shit that’s cringe, I don’t want that on my tombstone”.

chiliedogg@lemmy.world 2 months ago
That’s a real struggle for a lot of people. I’ll admit to habitually coming into the office at 8:15 or 8:30. But I found a career where that works, so it’s okay. In an old job where punctuality was more important (shift work), I had to buckle down a bit more.
Meanwhile, my parent’s housekeeper that comes in once a month or so for a deep clean absolutely cannot hold a regular job, because I’ve never known her to arrive within 3 hours of when she planned. The first time she was hired was for a make-ready on their house that was being built while we were all living in campers on their property during Covid. I went over to the new house to grab some ice from the freezer at like midnight, and found her dusting the master bedroom because she hadn’t arrived until like 5pm and make-readies take all day.
That being said, she does and I’d recommend her to anybody, so long as they’re okay with the housekeeper occasionally being there at like 7 or 8 at night when they were supposed to be there from like 10am till noon.

Tattoos also apparently taste bad, so they are also good at risk management, as they’re avoiding cannibals
ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago

Eh, I’d argue it’s actually the exact opposite of good risk management. They’ve spent a lot of time and money mitigating something that’s extremely unlikely to ever pose a problem. They should take a step back and reevaluate that risk matrix, maybe get a second opinion on it too.

I think a lot of it was for identification of bodies if they are otherwise disfigured in death :3… as well as other things like superstition, or marking important achievements ^^

The thing is, people can commit to different things. A classic saying in recovery is “If you put as much effort into your recovery as you did you addiction you would be on top of the world” or whatever. Would you walk 4 hours to make it to a job interview like you would to pick up heroin? etc
Someone might be really into adorning their body with art, but maybe wont show up to crunch data and smile at customers.

According to the Trump administration, the entire population within a specific range of millennials are gang members to the last.
OG Boomers and Silents are gang members, but they’re called lodges and esoteric societies, sometimes churches for tax reasons.
Remember that the primary efforts of Black Panthers and Hezbollah are community support (often cooperating with NGOs like Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders), we can expect that other terrorist organizations are similarly extremist.

It depends a lot on the tattoos though. Some tattoos show forethought and patience. Other tattoos show poor decision making. It really just depends.
phx@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Yeah, I was thinking the same. It’s basically a visible representation of somebody’s thought process. It may indicate something important to them, something they’re passionate about, or just a point decision without due consideration for consequences.
People get tattoos that are extremely artistic and represent a significant investment in both time and money. Many get tattoos about something they have a passion for. Some to honor deceased loved ones. Some to represent their culture.
Others get a facial tat with prison symbols or to make themselves look like a lizard/devil, which I can only describe as a “look-at-me” tattoo. That may not be the type of personality you want working for you or even to hang out with…

We once spend nearly an hour going through the tattoos on tattoo shop (in a nearby town popular with bikers) Facebook page.
Every single one looked like it had been done in prison by somebody who had never done one before, and indeed had never drawn anything before.

ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
All I think is “oh, that person is either a tattoo artist (and friends with a bunch of them too), or good friends with one”. But thats just based off of my own experience, the people I know that are heavily inked are all tattoo artists or married to one.

yeah tattoo culture is really going through a massive shift. in 2010 no one in korea had tattoos, or if they did they kept them secret. the only ones with tattoos were involved in organized crime. if you took your shirt off at the bathhouse, people would get scared, that degree of discomfort.
now you go to korea in 2025 and you see young people with tats everywhere!
randint@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 2 months ago
That description of 2010 Korea sounds like Japan, except it hasn’t changed in Japan as it did in Korea. Some public baths outright ban people with tattoos. Tattoos are still pretty much a taboo (pun intended) in Japan.

The person usually tells you more with body language than their tattoos do. Face tattoos are exclusively on people with serious emotional problems, however, and I avoid them like leprosy.
