Kelsey: Tats Don’t Equal Trash

Tattooed people have a stigma of being riddled with angst and rebellion. It actually takes a lot of courage to get one. Admittedly, there are some who make an ink mistake due to inebriation, puppy love or lack of planning. The good news is that tattoos aren’t permanent anymore — they can be removed by a number of methods. They can also be covered pretty well by other tattoos or special makeup. The idea that tattoos (or unnatural hair color, for that matter) are unprofessional is nearly baseless. If someone decides not to take a person seriously in a business setting because they have a tribal band around their arm or a flower on the ankle that can be seen through pantyhose/Kelsey Samuels, UI Argonaut.

Question (for those w/o tattoos): Do you look down on individuals who have tattoos? (for tat crowd): Are there any tats you have that you wish you didn't?
