The Independent - Tattoos: Marked For Life?

http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/features/tattoos-marked-for-life-2235121.html

SUBMITTER’S COMMENT: thought this was worthy of sharing, it’s not an awful modification per se. but awful public attitudes to them.

This came up on my Facebook news feed, it’s a nice thing that there’s a charity helping people remove hideous tattoos that they regret if they can’t afford it themselves, but some of the opinions stated are depressingly anti-mod :/

it’s just awful to be writing on a well read news site that -

  1. tattoos are essentially a form of self harm
  2. 3/4 of people who have them regret them
  3. it’s acceptable for workplaces to discriminate based on having tattoos
  4. if you want a job you should know better than to get tattooed in the first place

and the comments. dear god.
