Surely there are thousands of others just as capable at doing the job?

And why should they be chosen over someone with a tattoo?

But having a neck tatoo isn't neccesarily a bad thing is it?. Unless it is obscene or racist.

It doesn't make them uncapable to doing a good job.

Plenty of the children watching will have parents with all sorts of tattoos. Should only a certain type of person be allowed to be seen on tv?

Please would someone collect DS asap? I have a tattoo on the back of my neck and he must be saved!

I wouldn't want my child to be asking for a neck tattoo - I think it would narrow his chances of getting a good job (rightly or wrongly and understand my circular argument).

As any fule kno, a neck tattoo is the branding of a danger bastard.

I bet that presenter has bodies under his floorboards.

OP YANBU and don't let this miserable lot tell you otherwise.

It depends on the definition of a good job.

If he wanted to do science, for example, I don't think it would matter at all.

A good job like presenting kids tv for instance?
