These are real pictures of people who have tattoos and piercings that probably keep them from gainful employment.

[Slings and Arrows]

OTOH, it could be amusing if their piercings get stuck together.

I don’t know about the crows, but they scare the h*ll out of me.

Actually, my wedding picture from 2 weeks ago.

Cheers !

Now that's an image I'd like to get out of my head.

You have four options. If the first one doesn't work, try the second. Work your way down the list, one step at a time.

1. A psychiatrist.
2. An exorcist.
3. A fifth of Jack Daniels and a couple of Benzedrine.
4. A .357 Magnum.

[Slings and Arrows]

No wonder you're in good mood. Mazel tov!

I’m an old white fart and I earned my seniority the right way. To me my employees represent my company and I have no tats or piercings, if they have tats they are where I cannot see them. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only person with certain job requirements and if someone else feels the same then it gives me a good feeling.

My friend, I have one tattoo. Most of the guys in my platoon got this tattoo on the same weekend, and all of us got it on the left arm, just below the shoulder. It's a coiled rattlesnake, with the following words underneath it:

DON'T TREAD ON ME

We got these tattoos years before the Tea Party movement adopted the Gadsden Flag. I know the Marines also like their "globe and anchor" tats. I hope that if you see just one military style tattoo peeking out from under somebody's sleeve, you'll make an exception in your hiring policy.

Serious case of painting a moustache on the Mona Lisa there. A shame when women have tatoos...

[Ditter]

Got any pictures of the bride?

[Celerity]

Yup !

[TheOldLady]

Congratulations, and a long and happy marriage to you.

[Mr. Silverback]

She and the one in the black and white photo with all the crap stuck in their back could have been smoking hot babes, and insteaf they look like circus freaks.

[Mr. Silverback]

I hope the one on the left didn’t pay for that tat. If it didn’t say “Change” I wouldn’t have known who it was. Looks like Al Roker with his glasses off.

[TheOldLady]

Some Internet friends of mine have said that tats and piercings can be addictive, and of course that can lead to their being overdone by some people.

One gal said that she was trying to quit, and she couldn’t walk by a tattoo parlor because the sound of the needle was too tempting.

[Mr. Silverback]

Congratulations!

[OldPossum]

These are not people. They’re freaks of nature.

They really ought to find employment in some circus sideshow.

[Slings and Arrows]

That is a very interesting datum. I wonder what the appeal is - masochism? Endorphins released by the pain? Exhibitionism alone seems an insufficient explanation.

[Ditter]

May you have a long and happy life together. Mr. Ditter and I are looking at 53 years in Dec. all good!

[Slings and Arrows]

I disagree. Freaks of nature are born that way. These people became what they are by choice. Very puzzling.

[Busta Rhymes]

I think you’re a fine looking young man.

Congratulations on the wedding. We just had our 33rd.
