Umm. You bring up good points, but the idea of not being admitted into an institution of higher learning is a crock. My wife and I both are coated in tattoos and we are both pursuing Masters degrees at the moment, it is never anything that I have seen be an issue.

As far as a professional career.... If you can cover them, they for all intents and purposes do not exist. Now a neck tattoo or hands or face, that is a different story. I know many men and women in professional fields of all types from education, law, engineering, to business that wear full body pieces.

I guess I don't understand how you will back up a generalization with another generalization. My wife and I are not promiscuous nor ever have been. Myself I have been with 3 women sexually my entire life.

You are assuming that because someone tattoos themselves they lean that way, that their values and morals are skewed, well, that is flat out wrong. We consider ourselves respectful, productive members of society. I do not live in the bottom socioeconomic class, and I have plenty of tattooed friends that live quite comfortably and raise their kids exceptionally well.

My point is don't judge the book by its cover, your perspective tells me you do not approach art the way some do, and that you might not be entirely comfortable with who you are. I'm not saying you're not, but your statements make me think that. But again, to each their own, it would be nice though to have a bit more of an open mind than lumping all people into one specific group, because it is simply not true, not by a long shot.
