I happened to be at a location today when a young lady came in to turn her application in she was well dressed seemed intelligent and was a recent graduate of the red mccombs business school at UT (which I didn't even know existed at UT until she told me) I introduced myself and took her into a conference room so I could have some insight to tell the other board members. As we talked I noticed a tattoo on her hand and commented about her "nice body art" she then told me about the "artist" and the reason for the tattoo. Of course we won't hire her because she has a tattoo. I wonder how many of you feel the same way about ladies with tattoos? I guess it's expected on carnival workers, prostitutes and oil field trash but when your paying for the illusion does the tramp stamp ever ruin it for you? I notice many of you mention tattoos and that you didn't think they were distracting I assume that you do find some distracting...
I bet red mccombs daughters and grand daughters don't have tramp stamps!

Do you not hire people with pierced ears, or breast implants?
Good to know UT keeps churning out "winners" with worthless degrees! They sure are dumbing down and minimizing the degrees of THOSE of US who got them when a University Degree ACTUALLY meant you HAD an education...

Unfortunately too many don the Hepatitus "A"rt magnet stamp of approval so finding one without is like finding a libtard with a brain - rather impossible.

It's rather sad that "the machines" have caused people to lose the ability to communicate in person to person dialogue so much they must "talk through their tattoos"...true testament to the dumbing down of our once great Nation. Think of it, BEFORE man could communicate via dialogue, prose or written word Neanderthals drew on cave walls & themselves BCUZ they couldn't communicate by any other means...so evolution is NOW going BACKWARDS...

Erik Sprague was a doctoral candidate until he chose the change career paths. I assure you he is far more eloquent and articulate than either of us (when he isn't on stage entertaining a crowd)
There are SOME non-tattooed Honey's but rare indeed. I can only think of very very few (Linnea, SexxySamantha, Claire of SGBJ, Willow of SGBJ...and these are now mainly gone from our midst...) and of course there are many others. But WHO?
