I'm general I agree, but I draw the line at face tattoos. If you have face tattoos I assume you are dumb as sticks.

They're also patient and willing to push through a bit of pain for a reward

Years ago I was asked by a recruiter if I had any tattoos and piercings - I don’t, but told them I wasn’t interested in working for a client who’d let that get in the way of hiring the right people.

I've got no problem with tattoos generally, but certain specific tattoos are red flags.

Tattoos also apparently taste bad, so they are also good at risk management, as they're avoiding cannibals

"Showing up on time" is the lowest possible bar, isn't it?

I'm reminded of the Chris Rock bit about people bragging about "paying their bills" and "taking care of their family" as if it's a huge accomplishment. These are just things you're supposed to do!

The thing is, people can commit to different things. A classic saying in recovery is "If you put as much effort into your recovery as you did your addiction you would be on top of the world" or whatever. Would you walk 4 hours to make it to a job interview like you would to pick up heroin? etc

Someone might be really into adorning their body with art, but maybe wont show up to crunch data and smile at customers.

With a decent tolerance for pain

It depends a lot on the tattoos though. Some tattoos show forethought and patience. Other tattoos show poor decision making. It really just depends.

Or you're a degenerate who lives with someone who owns a tattoo gun and you're the guinea pig for them to practice on.

According to the Trump administration, the entire population within a specific range of millennials are gang members to the last.

OG Boomers and Silents are gang members, but they're called lodges and esoteric societies, sometimes churches for tax reasons.

Remember that the primary efforts of Black Panthers and Hezbollah are community support (often cooperating with NGOs like Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders), we can expect that other terrorist organizations are similarly extremist.

All I think is "oh, that person is either a tattoo artist (and friends with a bunch of them too), or good friends with one". But thats just based off of my own experience, the people I know that are heavily inked are all tattoo artists or married to one.
