if it was one small tattoo or two sure , but if all of her body was coverd then NO WAY ! if she want any one to recpect her she should recpect her own body .
Does that apply to all tattoos, or just extensive body art?
I think if people want to do it, then it's their own prerogative. Doesn't mean full body art is not freakish though. A small tattoo here and there I have no objection to.

Sure. Just as it is my prerogative not to want them. On a practical level I could overlook one or two smallish and not constantly visible tattoos on an otherwise very good prospect, but extensive pieces of art... no way, Jose. Come to think of it, the only exception I've made so far in life is very recent and the tattoo is sooo small and in such a place that it's not worth mentioning it...
It's not even about the tattoos themselves. I'm just not compatible with the kind of people who would be interested in that.

Why of course it is. However it is also the right of other people to consider it a foolish thing to do. People have this strange notion that if they choose to do something that everyone else should than approve of their choice. Does not work that way. It even gets worse when that activity falls outside Societal norms.
You might think a potential employer should overlook your decision to show up with a torn tee-shirt and flip-flops to the job interview. After all it is your prerogative to do so in a free society. Good luck on getting the job.
There is also the case, like mentioned earlier, of selecting your tattoo based on a mates suggestion. Once you fall out with Joe, that big heart with "I love Joe" on it tattoo may not be attractive to Edwin.

Are there societal norms? I think there are very few that people actively follow. I don't believe any viewpoint is beyond criticism, few would.

It depends on the job, no? Or the corporate culture of the organisation. It could be acceptable for that specific company, which is ultimately what work attire boils down to.

That's their problem. I don't have to live with that person's choice.
Why does somebody need a tattoo to be interesting? What defines interesting?
how did you miss where he put he doesnt really think that? i mean, you quoted it.

yeah, we already said this multiple times: The problem isn't people personally not liking tattoos. That is fine. It's people saying rude and untrue things to and about people who have tattoos. And mostly as blanket statements about how they are criminals, trashy, ruining thier body, etc etc ad nauseum

we aren't surprised at the opposition. it's just redundant (which is kind of the opposite of surprising, isnt it?) and judgemental, that's all.

Yeah, those are by far the dumbest! What were they thinking...?! Obviously, they weren't thinking at all!
She better keep looking for Joe's forever.
