Folks may not like to hear that, but Mrs. Bush is right. If I were an employer, and I had my choice of two prospects, I can guarantee you that, all other things being equal, the one without his or her face 'painted' would likely get the job, if that job had anything to do with relating to the public. If the job were one where the employer would only be working out of sight of my customers, it may not matter.

Not the exact same tatoo, but it was close, the skull was facing outward, and there was some other stuff on and around it.

The pool is open now for Jesse Jackson's speech about Mrs Bush's racism.

I say tonight at 7:00.

Alot of my friends in the armed services (including the one I mentioned earlier) got tatoos.

Its fine, but some folks may not understand or get it, and think its a gang tatoo.

I've seen some of the jail tatoos, they are easily recognisable, and most of them are also repetitive.

One funny story involved a guy I know who is a tatoo artist and was doing tatoo work on a guy, the customer had erred in the spelling of someones name, so it came.....well, not to good.

lol.

The job you have open has come down to 2 candiates one has several tatoos visible and other has none. All other things being equal who gets the job?

Depends on the tattoos. If one says "Semper Fi" and the other "Kill a Commie for Mommie", I'll hire that guy, or gal.

Former members of one of the two big Green Gangs along with the three blue ones, will get the nod every time.
