How can anyone on here be the decider of what is a bad tattoo for someone else. I've seen tattoos that I think are horrible, but the person who has it, loves it. It's their choice

The real thing I find odd, is why should it matter what he does for a living, as long as the tattoo is not offensive?
People have certain expectations for police officers. One of those expectations is that they have good judgment. Bad tattoos = Bad judgment.

The tattoo in question happens to be a reference to a couple of characters in a movie. The characters are (apparently) vigilante killers and they have similar tattoos to the tattoo in the above picture. Maybe not the best thing.

But whatever, I don't care about this tattoo, and it wouldn't bother me if I was dealing with the guy. Some people would be bothered though.

That being said... in the bigger picture -- I don't care if the tattoos are inoffensive or not, if I'm hiring a dog walker or housepainter and one guy has a tattoo on his neck and one guy doesn't, the guy without the tattoo gets the job, all things being equal.

If I'm hiring an accountant, a schoolteacher or a retail clerk, tattoo-neck-guy doesn't get considered even if he's overqualified.
