Well I guess if "they look stupid, or like criminals" is an uwarranted prejudice, call me unwarrantedly prejudiced.

I don't care about tattoos anywhere else, but in those three specific places (face, hands, head) it means something else.

A guy with an elaborate tattoo of a skull on his neck is, in one obvious way, dumber than a guy without. Why do I make this judgment? Because getting a tattoo with a large, elaborate skull on your neck is a dumb thing to do.

Sure, it's possible that he could be the best damn worker in the world, but the possibility that he could one day make a truly insane, life-altering decision is laid plain right there in front of me. He's advertising it. "I might do something crazy, see? I've done it before".

The other guy isn't saying that.
