Uggghhhh....I cannot stand crap like this?? Wht dont we just move to freaking Iraq or wherever and cover our bodies from head to toe in clothing, and all look the same??? I thought the whole purpose of being an american was to be an individual!! I love my tats, and I would ever cover them up for a damn Job! If you dont like them then dont look!! I would rather be unemployed, than have to cover up my body art!!! how does having a tattoo interfere with being a firefighter or a police officer?? Do they prevent them from getting the job done?? I think not!! Most firefighter and cops, have a military background. It is pretty much like a rite of passge in the military, when you get a tat, and there is always meaning behind it. So we are to deny someone like a soldier, the honor of Displaying something that they got while serving our country?? I find it utterly rediculous!! What about these men that Get tats to memorialize fallens friends??? How disrepectful is it to ask someone to cover up a memorial to a dead friend and commrade?? Things like this make me wonder what it realy is to be an american! I think we all have lost a grasp on that concept!!
