If the tattooed don't like to be judged or stereotyped maybe they should consider the social consequences before they get the tattoo(s).
Personally, I don't respect people with tattoos and piercings. To me, tattoos and piercings are evidence of a lack of self-control. People who inflict pain on themselves for purposes of self-expression have a screw loose.edit on 9/24/2013 by Restricted because: clarification

Well, I totally agree.
Professional soldiers need to look like professionals and not yobs, even if they are called upon to act like yobs when the trigger needs to be squeezed.

You are entitled to you opinions on the subject, but it is apparent that they are based on ignorance. Tattoos are a matter of self-expression and mine are here for me...not you. And the pain factor is incidental. I'd suggest you have a chat with someone who sports some ink. Sure, you'll find some dolts who do it because 'it's cool"...but you can finds dolts anywhere, and in any social strata. Just the same, some of the folks with tats might surprise you. Enough of derailing the thread, though...

Well, everything in moderation, I always say.
