Default TATTOOS AND JOBS

Remember my 'tattoopost'the other day?

Someone mentioned that he would think twice before he'd have his children taught by a tattood teacher or something along those lines.

Today I went for an intervieuw at quite a posh daycarecentre, it was supposed to last 45 minutes but the manager said I was hired after just 5 minutes!

She knows about my tattoos and she doesn't mind, I did offer to wear longsleeves though. She also knows about me doing muay thai, riding noisy bikes and so on and it was no problem AT ALL.


Well chuffed with the openmindedness of that woman!

It's often my experience that people with 'body decorations' are the most sorted one's of all!

Well done m8

there be a bloke who gets on the train at Salford Central just ourside manchester and goes to Bolton every day - he'a one big basted, and tattood from head to toe - litrally, he is a walking artform, the best thing that makes me chuckle aswell, is he always wears a suit and tie, is VERY well spoken and always has time for everyone, even tho he looks rough as a bears arse, he's one of the nicest blokes you could meet

It was me who mentioned it. Congratulations

Do they do all the raft of checks you have to do over here to make sure you don't have a history of you know what

Oh I don't have a problem with tattoo's as I know I want one, I just don't know what yet . I was just questioning it as part of the overall image for a teacher/childminder etc.

Again congrats on the getting the job you wanted.

not sure i would want my kids around a self confesed HOOLIGAN! tho! ..lol...

how long you been doin muay thai?!

and martial arts dont make people bad or bad role models! alot of martial arts promote self control! so all the better!

as for the bikes! spose someone has to like them!

as for tatoo's who cares! unless you got ones like jesus being stabbed by 12 children and another one where a nakid women is haing her self eaten by a fox on ya forehead! all depends on what sort of tatoo's you have!

congrats on the job

It isn't as brutal as it sounds...no wait: IT IS! lol

The hooligan thing is a reference to driving style, not anyhting else and I actually can't think of a more boring sport than soccer...

Most people tend to make assumptions about a person if he/she's into bikes, is tattood, bald and does a sport like muay thai.

In a way it is understandable but it is still wrong...

I don't drink, I don't do drugs, I don't smoke, I don't drink coffee, I never get into fights, I have no criminal record (to speak off ) and if anyone's patient, responsible, caring and tender when it comes to kids it's me and that's what counts at the end of the day!

but ya a complusive lier


i cant see how that works out, dont fight but ya hobbie is thai boxing , ya not that good then

people judge on apperence as do all animals, thats why we look diferent

i dont have a issue with tatoos but i dont trust anyone who dont drink and i never even thought about the not drinking coffee thing

people who dont drink are always thinking !!!!, thats a bad thing imo as at times ya need to ignopre things and let ya minf do what it feels

Well I don't fight in the streets, in the pubs or what have you.
I fight in the gym and have enough selfrestraint and sense not to get involved in fights outside.

Why would you not trust anyone that doesn't drink???
To me that sounds strange: not trusting someone who's never intoxicated and is always in control of what he does?

QUOTE: people who dont drink are always thinking !!!!, thats a bad thing imo as at times ya need to ignopre things and let ya minf do what it feels END QUOTE

I'm not always consiously thinking, I'm able to relax and let go of things on my own without having to resort to alcohol...if you need alcohol or drugs to unwind that to me is more of a flaw that not having to resort to things like that...
