Who was going for the idea that ppl with tattoos had to follow stereotypes to start with? Those are the main negative stereotypes I know of, you know others that are more relevant to the conversation?

The sociological definition of stereotype is "A commonly held public belief about specific social groups or types of individuals."
This would open a whole different can of worms though.
Let it be said that stereotypes, as well as clich+¬s, exist for a reason.
The fact remains that you, as the person sporting a tattoo, are breaking societies rules, not the other way around. Any company is well within its right to deny you the job position for being tattooed.

yes.... if youre stupid enough to show them and break company policy regarding them. If you dont do that they actually arent.
Unless youre in a right to work state.
Theres a term here that ppl use its called wrongful termination and it can allow the employee to sue the company over it.
Firing someone for merely having a tattoo (if they dont cover it and abide by the company's rules for having them - if the company doesnt allow then at all why would you be attempting to work there again?) can be regarded as cause for this in certain places.
and again, what society are you using as your yardstick to measure what is unacceptable? The society I see generally isnt shunning me for having tattoos, people largely ignore them.

If you do that, it will be obligatory for both of us to show up to fanfest with tanktops, and get hammered for three days straight.

I think you are a bit disconnected from reality my friend. Or possibly Europe is a shithole, but I suspect the former based on all the other people I know from Europe who don't think its the 17th century.

That website hasn't been updated since 2007, and looks like it was created in about 1996 (wayback machine cant tell you when it was first published, only when it first noticed the page).
edit: linked urls are breaking my posts, heres the wayback url: http://wayback.archive.org/web/*/http://people.umass.edu/aes1/statistics.html
It openly admits the figures are from 2003 and in America only.
If you add up all the age group percentages, you get 108%
% of respondants age 18-24: 13%
% of respondants age 25-29: 36%
% of respondants age 30-39:28%
% of respondants age 40-49: 14%
% of respondants age 50-64: 10%
% of respondants age 70+: 7%
and there is a gap between the ages of 65 and 70 that is not represented.
The wording it uses implies that only white people can be adult.
It then proceeds to attempt to link tattoo regret with political affiliation, but only with one of the two major parties.
I genuinely don't know if you are for or against in this discussion mate, but for the love of god, pick your sources more carefully, I'd fail a 6 year old for giving me a set of stats like that. |

In January 2008, a survey conducted online by Harris Interactive estimated that 14% of all adults in the United States have a tattoo, just slightly down from 2003, when 16% had a tattoo. The population that is getting tattoos appears to be trending down, at least there is something positive to report.
Researchers have also found that those with tattoos are more likely to suffer from anti-social personality disorder (ASPD). Those that suffer from this diagnosis are characterized by a lack of empathy towards others or their own actions, and are more prone to pathological lying, stealing, drug abuse, cheating, and physical aggression GÇô all markers of the criminal psychopathology. The research also found that those that had tattoos, also were more likely to be victims of sexual abuse, to have abused drugs, or to have attempted suicide at least once in their history.
Dr. William Cardasis of of the Michigan Centre For Forensic Psychiatry, says
Quote:our findings suggest that forensic psychiatric inpatients with tattoos are significantly more likely to suffer from ASPD than those without tattoos, and patients with ASPD were also significantly more likely to have higher numbers of tattoos, a larger percentage of their body covered with tattoos, and tended to have tattoos in more visible locations.i hope this provides clues for clinicians to look for ASPD in forensic psychiatric patients with tattoos, and also to look for signs of suicide attempt, substance abuse, and sexual abuse.
While the general population in the USA may be a low 14% having a tattoo, a large portion of those with tattoos have a criminal background. Studies of prison populations in the US have found between 70% - 85% of inmates have tattoos. Recent studies in the UK found more than 95% of imprisoned white British criminals are tattooed.
So yes, people have good reason for harshly judging those that have tattoos, and I'll be among those that continue to do so. |

What? Sometimes I just don't get how people come up with these kind of ideas. It's 2011, people from all 'classes' have tattoos. Though I have to admit I don't really know if this is case in some european _country_, but definitely not the whole europe. |
