Why are you saying "yeah me too" . Nobody said tattoos were keeping them from getting friends and jobs. Maybe it is you that is stopping yourself from getting friends and jobs. I have tattoos and I have lots of friends and a good job. All of my friends with tattoos have jobs and have friends.

Most of my friends (including my husband) are not tattooed, but the fact that I am has never been an issue.
I never got turned down for a job because of my tattoos either. I currently have 3 tattoos, going in for my 4th in 2 weeks.

No.
Thankfully I was smart enough to get my tattoos done on parts of my body that aren't readily visible. I work in a fairly conservative office that while tattoos aren't exactly forbidden, it's not something that everyone wants to see. The only tattoo that I have that might be seen is on the inside of my left ankle and the only time someone might see it is in the summer if I wear a skirt.
Most of my friends are inked, so that's never been an issue, but I did end up breaking up with someone I was dating over them. After we started seeing each other I decided to let him know that have tattoos since our relationship seemed to be moving in a postive direction. His response? "I don't like tattoos, especially on women." Well, that was the end of that because they weren't going anywhere!

Errmmmm... no!
Why would I want friends who looked down on me because of my tattoos? They sound like pretty dull and narrow-minded people, in any case, so I doubt I'd want to know them anyway.
And, jobs - I suppose if I were after a job in McDonalds or somewhere, where they made me wear a nasty nylon uniform with short sleeves, then maybe it'd be an issue. But since I have a grown-up job, why would it be an issue? My employers don't care about my tattoos being visible, and if they did I could easily wear clothes that cover them.

If my friends can't accept me the way that I am, eight tattoos and all, they can hit the road, I don't want them as friends. As for work, most of my ink doesn't show, but when it does, there's no problem with my tattoos.

I actually have a pretty friggn sweet bunch of friends. Some are lurking around this forum. As far as jobs go, I am doing well. Carry yourself well, and work on your social skills. If you are having trouble finding work you should look into a new trade, or get some help with resume writing. Good luck.

No I have no problems. Half my friends have tattoos & mine is where I can hide it for work. A few of my coworkers know about my tattoo & actually think it's pretty neat.....probably cause it's a simple rose (for my name). One of the ladies I work w/ actually has her belly button pierced so yea she definitely doesn't have a problem. I was actually talking about my ideas for more tattoos w/ her the other day.
