Mcfluff we are all entitled to our own opinions....as you have voiced yours too, whether we agree with them is another matter. Some people like things for a reason and some dislike them for their reason...part of life. If people with tattoos do it just for themselves, why do they insist on displaying them to all and sundry?

There are visible tattoos - and visible tattoos - and his are certainly visible! I wouldn't have him 'front of house' in any business I ran.
It's a quality tattoo Mikey, looks good on him. I personally don't think it should affect his work, is that too simplistic?
There seems to be a weird view gaining support that such things are nice rather than marring the impression folk have of you. I'm unsure why this is so. But such an error would account for any surprise he might have.
I wish him well in his new business.

Elina....that may be your opinion, and you are entitled to it of course.

But how can this "suit" him ? He also appears to have something wrong with one of his hands. In my opinion, he has completely disfigured himself, on purpose.
I`m not surprised - thats enough to scare the horses
It won't affect his or anyone's work but not everyone likes to see graffiti on a person and if faced with it makes them judge a business or service just by the person they are dealing with.

That doesn't just happen to people with tattoos as usually businesses with people 'front of house' like the person to represent their ethos or present an acceptable person to all. IMO probably better to go with those who will receive the least criticism for who they represent, even if Tats are en trend.
It just does Mikey (suits him) Not sure what you collarbone implants under the skin, he also has part of his ear missing, had to run that again..
Society adapts over time, and things that were not acceptable can become acceptable, but the 'time' bit is the important part.

When I was in my teens and twenties, the only men (and it was only ever men) who had tattoos were current or ex forces members who had them done abroad, usually on a drunken night out. Tattoos were seen as an indication of a trouble, a lot of pubs and clubs would not admit men with visible tattoos.

Now, in 2016, tattoos are far more common, and far more accepted, and there is a general perception that a tattoo is not a marker for violence.

But that does not mean that society will readily accept extreme tattoos just yet.

I am perfectly sure that the gentleman is a wonderful human being, but the issue is that a lot of people with whom he interacts may well see him as odd or peculiar.

That doesn't make this situation right, but it does make it the way things are, and people who choose to adorn themselves to extremes must accept that not everyone will be comfortable with it, or willing to interact in a professional environment.
What you call those implants ..

Completely unnecessary operations would be a phrase that comes to mind Elina !
I'd go with that andy.
..silicone implants
Exactly Andy, totally agree.
Don't you wiggle your finger at me Mikey! ;0)
how does it affect his ability to do his work?

other people's reactions to his body art make cause an issue but is it fair to punish him because other people don't like what he has done to his own body?

he's not causing any harm, people really need to change their attitudes toward body art.
A landlady of a small seaside B&B refused to put up a friend of ours just because he had long hair. At work he was made to wear it in a ponytail.
It doesn't affect his ability to work presumably but if anyone wishes to do this kind of thing to themselves, they too have to accept that some people won't like it. Fine if you don't want a job dealing with the general public, but he should have been aware of his job limitations today and not EXPECT everyone he comes into contact with, will admire and like his tattoos. It works both ways, if you want to do this then looking abnormal to some people when it's done through choice is not always going to be accepted.

This isn't "body art"....its disfigurement, on a grand scale.

Am I the only one to see that the king isn't wearing any news clothes ?
Question Author
cupid04....when I worked for BT, we had a similar rules about long hair, as it would have been a safety hazard otherwise. But what can this man do ....he can't tie back his face, or remove those daft bits of silicon.
