Well, that depends. Is said tattoo on your face, neck, hands, or genitalia? If it is one of those four, then you got problems. If it is on your arm, leg or torso, then I say you are just exceptionally patriotic.
Why is genitalia a problem if other people can’t see it?
Some dick tattoos are hilarious. And probably worth it.
Would you bring any of these girls home to meet ma?

Understand that most women who would put that on their twat likely had a lot of visitors before the tattoo artist. How do you think Homer Simpson is going to look after that thing has spat out a few urchins?
At 54 years of age, I am still teachable.
Because I did NOT click on that link. 
Id give em a ride and turn em loose…
Then this is perhaps not the best 3rd or 4th time to ask just what you even mean by “the hypocrisy of adulthood”, but what the hell.
So just what do you even mean exactly by “the hypocrisy of adulthood”?
#3…maybe
The Mario one is badass. But I’m not sure I’d wanna see it EVERY day. Lol.
It means that we, as adults and parents, teach our kids all these “lessons” but then we become adults we throw those lessons RIGHT OUT THE F’ING WINDOW. (shouting more for effect than at you btw).
to the person that posted the “would you bring any of these women home to meet ma?” question… did your mother not ever teach you to judge a woman for who they are, not what they look like? Which that goes into another “lesson for the kiddos” that most often, boys don’t keep up with as adults. You should respect women, not treat them like toys or holes.
Ok, well, first of all, a mindless platitude is not a “lesson” and secondly, and perhaps more importantly, that is not even what the term “hypocrisy” means.
Hypocrisy is the state of pretending to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that one does not actually have
It also means that you preach one thing, and do something else. So if we are teaching our children not to judge, and then we judge, we are being a hypocrite.

Swell, you did a google and copied here almost verbatim the Wiki definition. Kudos.

No it doesn’t. A drug user can still go around preaching that it is wrong to do drugs and not be a hypocrite.

Wrong.
Adulthood is full of hypocrisies. I don’t think children fully understand how it can work both ways. There’s also the phrase “Do as I say, not as I do.” We also teach children that people aren’t perfect and hypocrisy is a perfect example of that. We tell our kids not to develop some of the same bad habits we’re guilty of. We make bad judgement calls everyday! The key is learning why we made that bad call and adjusting to correct it.
No one is perfect. Making a judgement about someone isn’t an absolute. I would think or hope that most well adjusted young adults know the difference.
Living a life full of lies and hypocrisy is something totally different.
What if a person has pretty much full body tats but can cover them with a suit or their usual clothing? You hire the person and they keep them covered. You never know they have tats and they continue to do productive work. Or they happen to wear short sleeves and you see tats. Do you fire them? I could see firing them because at that point it could affect customer relations and your business, whether customers’ perceptions are flawed or not. I think it’s an industry specific judgement call (as has been pointed out from anecdotal experience). Small foot or ankle tats usually aren’t considered a deal breaker for females IMO. Face, neck, and offensive tats are something different.
What about drug abusers that have quit? If they used needles they could have needle scars and have a higher likelihood of having a contagious disease but an employer is barred from asking those questions or discriminating against them. The reason I bring it up is early on I think it was Crow Hunter brought up the issue of tat needles possibly transmitting disease (not picking on him personally). Same as a hospital…clean needle/dirty needle.
Belloc,
Do you consider people in the military that have tats “emotionally or psychologically immature and/or damaged?” Women wear earrings so do you consider that bodily mutilation? I know my example is minute compared to studs all over a person’s face but I think you get my point.
Taste is key. The irony I think is most everyone participating in this thread (except Belloc of course) can agree on that.
The wolverines tat isn’t just because of the movie. for me it holds symbology.
the mjolnir (what i’m assuming your referring to a “myth”) is a religious symbol stemming from pre-christian northern Europe. Much like people get crosses to show their “faith” to the christian god, Mine is a symbol of my devotion to the old ways. and i’m not going to start a religious debate in this thread, as you have attempted to do by insulting a religion that stems farther back than the mishmosh that is christianity.
this is not a visible tat
I never said >my< tats were to make my body “more beautiful.” I said that some people look at it that way. Each of mine has a story behind it, and a lesson attached to it. Some people choose to write their stories in books, i chose to do it on my body.
your opinion is that it is stupid, and that you would never do it. well. your entitled to that. However is it FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG to judge another person for doing so.

What? You would hire someone who had a problem with the societal norm of good hygiene because that person would “induce nausea, vomiting, and induce syncopal episodes” from your customers and other employees?
one of the most rational and best posts from this thread.
that should have read no. i don’t know why i typed yes. please forgive me.

he is if he’s still using drugs and telling people that they are bad and they should not use drugs.

How is that wrong? it’s a DIRECT copy from http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bigot
I think Belloc could use a lesson in context to figure out what someone means.
A lesson many a forum member have learned is to put him on your ignore list. It will spare you much argument and grief before your blood pressure is boiling.
Continually teach your children age appropriate critical thinking and they shouldn’t have problems making it to adulthood no matter what negative or positive outside or parental influences they encounter.
