Young women's Tatoos

Someone I know was recently interviewing for a teacher at the primary school he was a governor for. He said one candidate had tattooed arms beneath his shirt, and rightly or wrongly that put him, the interviewer, off that person.
Don’t know who got the job.

P.S.
Realise this thread is about women’s tattoos, although my comment concerned a man.

It is breathtakingly unthinking to state that if you no longer like your tattoos you can get them removed by the NHS free. I can only hope the remark was ironic or in levity. You can do what you think is attractive to your own body but to suggest the NHS will remove them free is not true nor desirable in my opinion. Take responsibility for your decision.

At one time my job took me into a prison where I had a conversation with an inmate who had been in and out of prisons all his adult life. He complained that many of the other inmates did not accept that he was a proper criminal because he didn't have any tattoos!. He said "I just don't happen to like tattoos so why should I have to have them just to prove I'm a real villain?"

Admittedly that was many years ago, at a time when, in general, only sailors or criminals had tattoos. I know times have changed and many perfectly law-abiding people are tattooed these days, but I think many others, especially older people, can't help being prejudiced against them.

going off subject by quite a lot but...I hate it when people go abroad for surgical enhancements or work cos its cheap and then when it goes wrong they go to the NHS to sort it!!!

I agree!

Wrongly. HTH.

I have 8, regret them all so I'm getting them all removed. Some good deals for removals on coupon sites like Groupon, seems a bit.. Well, wrong to use NHS resources for it.
I got them when I was slim, had crazy coloured hair and it really suited me. Now I'm a mother, a bit chubby and in a professional setting, they don't suit me in the slightest. Don't mind them on others though.
My sister has a very beautiful smallish one on her ribcage and it's so 'her' I can't imagine her without it.
