Tattoos can get you banned now

There is a woman in the UK who is banned from the local pub, her children's nativity play and says no one will employ her. She is covered in tattoos, a lot she has done herself or got her kids to do. Do you think some people have gone too far with tattoos?

As with all things that do not harm others, I think people should be able to do what they like with their own skin.

That said, such a public and prolific display can be depended on to be off-putting and to create obstacles to employment and social encounters.

As a caseworker, I had a client whose face and neck (and probably the rest of him) were covered with what looked to me like Maori tattoos.

During our meetings he was soft-spoken, courteous and kind.

He could not find work. He scared people.

@Mamapolo2016 That’s a pity.
