There are many things that might be good cause to disqualify a person form welfare. Which ignores the debate over amount and role of welfare in the first place. Un-hidable tattoos are not one of them in my opinion. It is possible to economically support yourself with such tattoos. Maybe not likely to as high of a level as without, but enough to avoid welfare.

Not the face tats. |

< neck ink, knuckle/hand ink.
Have an associates and I am currently working on my bachelor's degree. Work full time, good salaried job not in food service, paying for school out of pocket. No student loan debt. Having said that, if you get your face tattooed, you're a f*cking idiot. No job for you, no welfare for you.. go join the prison circus. |

I am not against tattoos, I think a lot of them look great and if someone wants tattoos, good on em. I also would hire an inky over a non-inky if their qualifications stood up but this thread: Tattooed Trailer Trash is Murder Suspect got me thinking. I also personally know about 6 people on welfare who have all manner of un-hide-able facial and neck tattoos. they are more, or less not good candidates for a normal position due to all the ink on their faces. If you elect to make yourself un-employable, are you opting for a life of public assistance and should you be eligible? Edited to add: assuming welfare exists at all. I agree no welfare is a better option. But assume under our current system. This poll is FAIL. |

OP, your really putting the cart before the horse here. Face tats are a symptom of poor decision making. They aren't unemployed because their face is inked, they are unemployed because they make bad choices.
Trust me, of the unemployed people I know with their face inked, their tattoos are the least of their worries. Irresponsibility, inability to deal with authority in a mature manner, not being able to following directions...ink or no ink, if you can't do that your not getting a job. |

I think some people add ink for emotional reasons like passing of a family memeber or birth of a new one, some as badge of honor, some are just for cosmetic and artistically done... And some are just stupid and never take on consideration the consequences, I have meet a couple o persons with tattoos on their neck and face and if I was the owner of a business I will never hire them because their appearance it's not up to what I want to show to my customers (unless you are running a freak show or a goth underground music store, then that will make my customers feel comfortable)...
People like that should don't qualify for any government funded assistance program, because deliberately they have modified their body on a manner that make them unfit for employment. (inappropriate tattoos, tattoos on large areas of the body that can't be cover, any excessive piercing or intentional scarring on face or hands that don't correspond to cultural, ethnic or religious reason). |

The REAL problem with inkies is that their ink makes it harder to estimate how many "leather" briefcases you can get out of an average-sized person. After all, if you buying a nice expensive leather briefcase, you don't want a flaming skull or an ICP logo on it.  A big back piece means that you pretty much have to only make wallets from that guy.

The OP is well intended, but it's never a good thing to allow government to increase its Big Brother oversight even regarding people on unemployment.
Let's not forget that many people use unemployment for brief period of time during their lives for good purposes. It's not all dead beats, and if you've paid into the system for a LONG time and then find yourself laid off due to downsizing or something else I have zero issue with that person collecting unemployment while they look for another job. I'd rather you be allowed to put your money toward other things than have Big Brother force you to pay into unemployment and social security, but it is what it is. |

The public acceptance of ink has really changed in the past 20 years. Once up a time a neck or face tattoo meant the dude was a banger or something. Now suburban moms have their kids names on their necks. It just isn't a big deal anymore. Face tattoos are still somewhat taboo but you see them behind the counter sometimes. |
