"What if her tats have adult content ? Sex, Drugs, Devil Worship ? Profanities ? Anti Establishment Slogans ? What then ?" In that instance she should keep them covered at work.

"What if her tats have adult content ? Sex, Drugs, Devil Worship ? Profanities ? Anti Establishment Slogans ? What then ?" A quick Google search shows her tattoos fail to mention . Scenes of intercourse . Anyone shooting up heroin . An image of satan And no where on her body does it say fuck the system. judge her teaching ability not the tattoos My guess is that personally you don't like tattoos | |||

"I read an article that a school in Denmark has the parents complaining about a female teacher, she is heavily tattooed arms, legs, neck and chest. The parents are saying they don't want this person to teach their children, due to her looks. I was curious what some people on here thought about this? As it only takes one person to complain against how someone looks for others to follow." . Whilst the tattoos make no difference to anyone's ability to teach , many people make judgements based on appearance . Tattoos should only be on parts of the body where they can be hidden if necessary. If I went for a job interview with visible tattoos , I would expect to be turned down. As it is , I have none . | |||

My mum would be horrified and probably slightly afraid of a doctor with heavily tattooed skin but regardless of whether you agree or not it is likely that a generation that views tattoos as almost the norm wont be. | |||

I'm a teacher and my tattoos are hidden, as with many other colleagues its a matter of projecting a professional appearance. However on a residential trip where more relaxed clothing was acceptable they were visible to the children and no one cared at all. | |||

"Im tattooed and honestly wouldnt have them where they can be seen when at work! Small children are impressionable and all it takes is one to go have an underage tattoo because of the 'cool' teacher and it been done somewhere less than reputable! I think children should be guarded from the adult word and stay kids for as long as possible and have some innocence like we used to! But thats my opinion and im sure many will disagree and you know what im ok with that! Wouldnt it be boring if we all agreed with each other " | |||

"I work with a guy. He is fantastic at his job, he is the ideal candidate for a very senior managerial position. He's been told that there's no way the company can promote him to that position. The reason given is he has tattoo's on his neck that he cannot cover and the company does not want that 'image' representing them to other companies and customers. I have tattoo's. The reality is that people do get judged by them and it does effect what jobs may or may not be open to you in the future. I would hate for my son or daughter to go out and get tattoo's on their neck or somewhere they couldn't cover because 'their old teacher had them like that'. Tattoo's are a lifetime commitment and not something that should be decided or influenced as a child. I don't agree with teachers having visible tattoo's because I don't want my children influenced. I want them to make their own, individual choice when they are old enough to make it in an educated considered way so as not to effect the rest of their life." | |||

You don't want your children influenced but by wanting to exclude teachers having visible tattoos you are already imposing an influence on their attitudes to tattoos. In societies where tattoos are the norm it is the people who do not carry tattoos that are ostracised. One may as well say “I don’t want my children taught by a gay teacher in case they are influenced by them.” Such bigoted attitudes have no place in modern society. Parents should welcome the chance for there children to be taught by those who do not follow conventional rules of society as long as the teacher is qualified. It gives the child a broader outlook on life. | |||

"The problem is that as with any of these things, racism, sexism, homophobia, intolerance to religion or foreigners, tattoos etc, it's normally the small minority of bigots that shout the loudest. The truth is we're lucky to live in an incredibly accepting and open society where most people are judged on who they are as a person and nothing more. I just wish the newspapers would mirror that stance of the majority a bit more, but i guess that that lack of sensationalism doesn't sell papers. Better instead to strike up fear of "the other" be they an immigrant, gay marriage or a person trying to do their job that happens to have tattoos. " | |||

We don't live in a society where visible tattoo's are the norm unfortunately and I'd rather it not be my children's potential careers that are effected and risk having them be the ones that are ostracised. And relating that choice to the same as saying 'I don't want a gay person to teach my children' is rediculous! Someone's sexuality is not a choice at all! Having a tattoo on somewhere like your neck and watching a potential career go down the toilet because of it is very much the individuals choice! I really don't see how we can have a bigoted attitude regarding this subject when we both have tattoo's ourselves. Tattoo's are a choice, you may choose to encourage your children (if you have them) to be the crusaders and endevour to change western societies attitudes towards visible tattoo's. We don't choose that path for our children. That does not makes us biggots. Just for clarity one of my children is taught by a gay teacher lol. | |||

Are people actaully missing that I have tattoo's I don't dissagree with tattoo's at all. I just don't want an adult who chooses to openly display their tattoo's, responsible for my children's learning. What are you going to do then? Write a list of what is and what isn't an exceptable tattoo? the simple fact is I have watch a grown man who had a swallow below each ear and his name on the back of his neck refused an 80k a year job because of it. I would rather do everything I can to minimise the risk of that happening to my children. It's as simple as that. | |||

Write a list of what is and what isn't an exceptable tattoo? the simple fact is I have watch a grown man who had a swallow below each ear and his name on the back of his neck refused an 80k a year job because of it. I would rather do everything I can to minimise the risk of that happening to my children. It's as simple as that." I was questioning why you thought a teacher would have an influence in the matter of tattoos really. Everything you say is perfectly understandable but to me, your reasons for not wanting a tattooed teacher for your children don't stand up. However we are all different and that's a good thing | |||

" I would hate for my son or daughter to go out and get tattoo's on their neck or somewhere they couldn't cover because 'their old teacher had them like that'. Tattoo's are a lifetime commitment and not something that should be decided or influenced as a child. I don't agree with teachers having visible tattoo's because I don't want my children influenced. I want them to make their own, individual choice when they are old enough to make it in an educated considered way so as not to effect the rest of their life. You say you don't want your children influenced, is that just in the matter of tattoos, or do you wish their teachers to have no influence over them at all? What about if they see a teacher smoking or drinking, a gay or lesbian teacher? Do you feel that a teachers influence is so strong that your children will get tattoos even if you've spoken to them and explained the pitfalls? In my experience the last people who influenced our kids were their teachers, it was their peers and their upbringing that informed their opinions. Smoking won't effect their career prospects. Drinking won't effect their career prospects. Though I can't say I'd be to pleased with a teacher turning up to be responsible for my children's welfare pissed. My tolerance for being different doesn't run that far. One of my children is already taught by a gay teacher. No issue at all with that as already stated, sexualty is not a choice. No I don't think that a teachers influence will be so strong that even if I talk to them and explains the pitfalls they will get them anyway. I would just rather not risk the potential career of my children. Once someone choose to have a tattoo they have it there that's it.

If they are stupid enough to do it just because a teacher or a friend has one, that's their own stupid fault! | |||

"I have no issue with my children having a tattoo'd teacher atall. My issue is only with those tattoo's that cannot be covered. Face, neck, hands those type of tattoo's unfortunately do get judged and I would rather minimise any risk of my children making that choice. Of course if they do, there's not much I can do about it and they will have to tolerate the bigots of society giving some of the highly paid jobs available to others purely because of an individual choice. I don't think they effect the ability of the teacher atall. However I do think they effect job prospects for the future be that right or wrong it is fact. I have seen it. It's such a shame that the rest of the western society in the majority don't appreciate that we are all different. " There are very few societies that do appreciate that, in fact I would say that it's at the heart of most societies to exclude those who are different. | |||

"It could be a useful way for the school to teach the children about tolerance and acceptance of others who may look different or choose to dress differently. Hopefully the school will approach the situation in a positive way. I work in a secondary school and I agree we are not in the dark ages people. Sorry but I deal with children with behaviour issues that are unacceptable in modern society shall we lock them away because their not the "norm". I did expect a more tolerant especially on a liberated site like this ! Why should we be more tolerant just because we like sex? I've never understood this statement " I just mean that there are all sorts of persuasions on here and I'm shocked by some of the responses I usually find swingers more accepting of peoples choices. And regardless of tattoos as long as there not offensive ones who cares. We don't judge people because of their hair colour !! The world would be pretty boring if everyone was the same. | |||

That's interesting because I have been shocked by the lack of tolerance shown by swingers and often towards very minor things. There are some who are very open and inclusive, happy for people to have different tastes, preferences, body types and looks but a lot are very suspicious of those who don't conform to their preconceived ideas of what swinging should be, how you should play and what is acceptable in looks. That's before we get on to sticky subjects like race, religion and politics | |||

That's the thing about discussion though, if you genuinely do accept that everyone will have different opinions you can disagree about lots of things but agree on others. | |||

"Mmmmm? I've quickly skimmed over many of the comments, so forgive me if I get certain elements wrong, but it seems to me that they tend, as always, to fall into the usual responses. It's too easy to say we should be able to do what we want, wear what we want, and behave how we wish as long as it doesn't harm anyone. Or even if it doesn't offend then it's OK. The problem is what are the parameters? Everything we do or say has a context and doesn't exist in a vacuum. Everything we do has a consequence and therefore there are responsibilities. So it's naive to believe that anything goes. Taking tattoos as an example. There's nothing wrong with tattoos, or different coloured hair, but would you really feel confident being represented by a lawyer wearing a onesie, covered in tattoos, and having bright green hair? Or needing a life saving operation and being approached by a surgeon looking the same? We make the same judgements in respect to age and gender, which can legitimately be context sensitive. Also there are dress codes associated with different jobs that need to be adhered to. They are in place not only to project a certain image to respective clients, but are also there because the clients need some quick frame of reference that inspire confidence and respect in the individual set before them. And can also undermine your authority and ability to do your job effectively. For better or worse this is deep rooted and to ignore it can cause very bad relationships or confusion in regards to expectations." | |||

"What if her tats have adult content ? Sex, Drugs, Devil Worship ? Profanities ? Anti Establishment Slogans ? What then ? A quick Google search shows her tattoos fail to mention . Scenes of intercourse . Anyone shooting up heroin . An image of satan And no where on her body does it say fuck the system. judge her teaching ability not the tattoos My guess is that personally you don't like tattoos " You guess wrong. | |||
