You are stating your opinion, which mirrors the same reason this guy isnt getting a job. It is that opinionated mindset that I address, so what is the point emphasizing my point as opposing to the 'norm' ? The rational thing to do, is Listen to us who have contrary opinions, may be it is our own understanding of issues that holds the key to evening the odds in the world today.

I have a close friend who lost a mum at tender age, he has his mother's name tattooed on him and he is passionate about the memory, he does not even go to club needless to say become a vice, so if he was the job seeking type, the ignorant public perception of tattoo will become an opinion for a company to form a mission statement and refuse to hire him just because of an artwork on his hand that he holds dear to his heart.

I constantly ponder a mind pattern that judges people based on their outward appearance instead of their contents of character.

Nigerians refuse to read, hence they have refused to grow mentally, which is why we end up with idiots in politics and other areas of life.
Who ever begins to respect dissent view will witness a new lease of life.



The evil-minded, uncultured, and an unprotected thought we harbour when we try to be a freethinker, thinking that we have our own world not being guided by any divine laws. Mo just be careful bro.

Makes no sense if a business will alter his corporate culture which is supposed to be people-centered to vested interest centered, such businesses are the corporate macrocosm of the myopic individuals who think tattoo culture is a vice.

It does not matter which entity is stupid, I know some individuals are stupid, but corporations are entities too, so corporations are as smart as the minds running them, so if a bunch of ignorant punks with a lot of money in their pockets set up a for-profit organization and change their corporate responsibilities because of vested interest of others who out of THEIR IGNORANCE chastise innocent citizens with body arts and tattoos, it still does not make your argument worth this analogy. I am just stating the obvious and if you are interested in seeing my point of view, then there is no reason you shouldnt see the point. But the ego is our common denominator, and I can see we are doing just fine.

I am hopeful that some day, you all will not only evaluate an opinion but stand up for something, and I hope it be something worth your IQs.
But for me, Billyonaire, I will continue to judge people based on their content of character and not just dismiss them because of an inbuilt ignorant belief that those with tattoos are criminals. That is what this argument is about. We must address that ignorance on the part of individuals or corporate entities to make a head way.

I rest this case (for now)

Like i always say if you sleep with a snake don't act suprised when you get bitten.
Every company has a right to decide the kind of look they want to potray and if tatoo bearing persons don't fit that look there's nothing wrong with that.
Prejudice is when you are employed and then denied certain benefits because you wear a tattoo.
You could have had that tatoo in less obvious places..your upper arm..back..chest..calf..places where only you and perhaps your significant other can see it.
But to have a tattoo on your neck and expect a corporate entity to be forced to accept you the way you are is trash.

Its like having a shitty attitude and expecting people to put up with you because thats who you are...well you can be "who you are" just do it far away from everyone else.

Where your right to being tatooted ends is where my right to employing someone without tatoo begins..

As for billyonaire save your breath when you start for own company prove your point by employing guys with tatts and piercings and split tongues and spiky hair..after all who cares if they look like junkies when they can get the job done eh!

Why do they have throw in in football when the ball crosses the line? It is the rule of the game but Americans think football aka soccer is stupid. You learn x and y in Maths class even though they are never used in real life. Why? It is all about weeding out process. Like they say, life is not fair. Tattoo is a body art. Well... many employers beg to differ. The question is: Why would a prospective employee limit himself by not adhering to the rules of the game? It is not about right or wrong. Just like in football, if you don't understand the rules of the game, you lose. A beggar has limited choices.

It cannot get any more real than this lad. Reality just kicked him in the nuts.

I Kinda Like Your Argument Cos Its Not Based On Emotion, Religion Or The Mainstream Local School Of Thought

But why bring Nigeria into the matter na? The said discrimination happened elsewhere... As for the discrimination... It's natural for ppl to build idea based on the first impressions from outward look... As for the real inward personality it will take a few days to months of socializing to be felt by the other party... I quite agree with you though.

InvertedHammer, congratulations, you are the most tolerant person on this forum on this subject that has raised valid points, by introducing the 'Rules of the Game' analogy and I must say, I am impressed and I feel challenged to re-appraise my point of view again. I, in all honesty, on my journey through Life, seeks to grow daily in knowledge, hence I go through the threads and respond only to wise challenges and view points as I am not interested in popular opinions, but the ones like yours are the ones I listen to, in order to become a greater version of myself.

Granted, that you have introduce the Rules of The Game analogy into the Equation, but remember, the existing problems in this world are because a strata of people, Humans ofcourse are stereotyped, classified and stigmatized. We must understand that this is a fact. For example, Tattoos are not considered 'proper' in a 'corporate' culture. But then we are the same people saying that the Corporate Culture is an imperfect manufacturer of unemployment, denial of service and out-right fraud. If there is a rule which prevents the corporate world from absorbing staff who have body art, by not making attempt to 'understand', 'innerstand' and 'overstand' not just 'know' that tattoo wearers 'must' be bad.

Stay with me on the point. The Rule of This Game, is what makes many jobless and homeless, and the rule of the game equally encourages flirting, office romance, exortic marketing skills, contract jobs and generates impossible Targets for workers to meet up. And makes our homes full of stress. You can see, that your argument seeks to maintain a status quo, but I am saying that the Rules are not Just.

Justice can only be achieved when the Rules of the Game are products of WISE decision making process that tailors the need to judge people by their actions and contents of characters and not by their tattoos.

So, you can see, in my point of view, there is no Rule of the Game that is worth our support, such Rules should be trashed if our planet is to make headway. We must begin to reason based on the First Principle. The Young Man needs a job so he can have access to Food, Shelter and Clothing. And if fellow Humans deny him access to using his sweat, tears and blood to achieve those basic needs, then what society are we building ?

Are we so proud of the corporate culture the way it is now ? I think to change this world to a better place, we must begin to disband the Rules of the Games that are no longer serving us, all of us. We must make Rules of Game that seeks to incorporate everyone irrespective of their body type, etc.

And I want you all to know that if you have ever judged someone based on their tattoo, you are just an augmented racist, cos it is just a higher way of judging a skin color, while the tribalist are the on lower end of the mentally challenged bestiality scale. The more we are educated, the less human we become and we begin to Challenge what is considered norm by the rest of the 'masses'. I guess this is why the best minds seek to live in isolation and never care to air their opinions, because they just see the rest of the humans as dumb and easy to be used.

My point is; There is no Rules of Games here, it is just an ignorant mindset that has found its way into corporate cultures.

The Designers, who partook in the Design of the Human Body, are impressed that we can even modify our bodies to become what ever we want. It is the reason we are being modified always to look better than the past generation of human species.


And ur point is ??

Full story - https://www.veeinsider.com/news/job-hunter-says-he-cant-get-a-job/


A job hunter who has attended over 30 interviews says he has been unfairly discriminated against because of his neck tattoo dedicated to his late grandfather.

Joe Parsons, 21, got the £250 six-inch tattoo last November in memory of his late grandfather Thomas, who died in a care home aged 63 last year.

He got the £250 tattoo while he was working in a factory.

Joe claims that he had no problem getting around 30 interviews, but he has never managed to get a job.

He says he’s tried to....

I took my time to read all the comments on this tattoo topic this morning...So many interesting views. But the one that really amazed me was that of billyonaire...it's funny when you "FEEL" and not "BELIEVE" that you are wise when you know NOTHING at all.....It's ridiculous arguing something even you yourself can't attempt. You don't insult people who are wiser than you are all in the name of proving a point(baseless). I'm a free thinker too but I'm very careful, analytical and logical in my reasoning.Tattoos ain't bad.but be responsible about the places you draw it...Simple!!!!
