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.

VeeInsider:
Ever seen a cop with tattoo?

LesbianBoy:
This same employers now, they would do something stoopid tomorrow and if people talk, they would say "don't judge"....See how they are judging this guy because of tattoo

guiddoti:
Do you even understand "Thou shall not judge" why do we have judiciary in the first place..? When you see what is not good, in as much as you are not doing it, you judge it.
However, every companies have their norms which every staffs are to abide. He probably does not fit to their norms through his representation. He can as well wear rags to interview and expect to be employed.

periphetes:
Mehn the job guy is stubborn and ignorant. Why should he wait on until the 30th time before knowing his problem. You can't keep doing or having same thing and then expecting a different result.
If he really needs a job let him abide to the company's rules or policy.

No Nigerian will wait the 30th time to be rejected. when there are makeup you can use to conceal it haba

terrezo2002:
Thou shalt not make any markings on your body the Bible says. Many people take these words for a joke.

Well, let him apply for jobs in club houses and brothels.

I actually clicked the link to read the whole story for myself and I honestly didn't come across where it says that this guy, Joe Parson with TATTOO ON HIS NECK ever hunted for jobs in Nigeria to start with, hence where did the "NIGERIANS HAVE REFUSED TO GROW MENTALLY" come from if it is his fellow country men in Europe or America that keep turning him down any where he goes to hunt for jobs. Perhaps they are the ones who FIRSTLY NEED TO GROW UP and then Nigerians will emulate them. I presume it happened in England judging by the currency. Shall we then say THEY HAVE REFUSED TO READ TOO and that they are a bunch of "IDIOTS".?

I bet you if this same guy job hunts in Nigeria, he is MOST LIKELY going to get a very LUCRATIVE JOB because he is WHITE and the tattoo on his neck won't even be a barrier as long as he knows what he is doing,even if he doesn't, he will still be given a chance because the BLACK MAN sees the WHITE MAN as a GOD to be adore, this one with a tattoo on his neck may even for that reason earn him greater WORSHIP. While you treat the WHITE MAN like a GOD. The WHITE man mostly treats the BLACK MAN like a DOG. Yet, it still boils down to ***REPUTATION of BLACKS who are mostly not proud and happy with the color of their skin and who they are. Hence, INFERIORITY COMPLEX and you are treated less than a human being. For you think less of your privilege as a human, UNGRATEFUL.

I asterix ***REPUTATION so as to bring a point home. Tattoos are mostly inscribed by TAOUTS, RASCALS, GANG STARS, CRIMINALS,people who dem to be DANGEROUS who take drugs. That is the REPUTATION of tattoo. Its not inscribed by serious minded people. You don't find Bill Gate or Bill Clinton.......................... with tattoo and even if at all they would it WON'T BE ON THEIR NECK. This guy's tattoo on his neck to start with is very ABNORMAL. No NORMAL PERSON will want to see beyond that tattoo to the content of his character. For tattoo already carries a REPUTATION not so good and this one is even so boldly on his neck.

As to content of character, Martin Luther King , Jr. Once said . "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character".

Martin's emphasis was color of the skin, which is not your own making, a natural phenomenon. Which is an IRRATIONALITY to be despised by mere colour of the skin. But tattoo is an artificial inscription and mind you this guy is being DISCRIMINATED against most obviously by people of same color skin as his.

I as well agree with the old wise saying: "DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER" but then, there are limits to every thing. TATTOO ON THE NECK IS VERY ABNORMAL. INFACT WHERE EVER HE GOES HUNTING FOR JOB, THAT TATTOO ON HIS NECK MAKES THEM SEE HIM AS AN ABNORMAL PERSON. Where it be tattoo on his hands, I honestly doubt if it will at all pose a challenge.

Even Donald Trump, who mingled very much with wrestlers and a showbiz guy will not in his RIGHT SENSES say since now being the President of America, he should carry a tattoo, THE AMERICAN FLAG and on his neck to show how much he loves America. THAT WILL BE AWKWARD. What I don't understand is why people start doing S!LLY things when someone dies. Tying their life to the dead and in jeopardy. I DONT REALLY THINK HE LOVES HIS GRAND PA ENOUGH. ELSE HE SHOULD HAVE TATTOOED HIS FORE-HEAD INSTEAD OF HIS NECK.

This timid generation of humans do not recognize tattoo as a creative body art that it is. They just harbour stupid biased convinction that tattoo must be bad without asking themselves if Body art is what commits crime.
