My son's barber's tattoo

That's a you problem

Yeah i think its peculiar

Loads of men have tattoos of film characters.
Others of family members

Wtf

Any man who has a tattoo of another man on his body is dubious, let alone andrew bloody tate

You're gonna have to go back at least once more to get the pic to upload to mn so it can be fully determined whether you're allowed to go back a third time.....

Since I had almost half an hour to look at this tattoo and compare it to images on my phone, I found plenty of Andrew Tate photos of him smoking a cigar

😂

Maybe it was of his boyfriend who looks like Andrew Tate?

Not really.

I have personal meaningful tattoos of the names of people I love... I have been told this is 'tacky' to have names by non other that tattoo artist themselves. I have had to justify what I want on my body and reassure them I won't 'divorce' my child.

I also however know people who have had used tampons tattooed on them for a laugh and thats deemed absoloutly fine. Most tattoo artist have tonnes of pre-made flash of random things and 'funny' thing and often off discounts on 'art piece' portraits they want to do that good tattooist will have people lining up round the block for not because they desperately obsessed with Marilyn Monroe or Freddie Kruger etc... but because they want a really well done tattoo by an artist.

You just have to watch tattoo reality shows to see people will even get joke Hitler tattoo's on them for 'shock value' rather than because they have anything to do with Nazi beliefs.

I was going to say YABU, it's his body etc. But actually that would really put me off. I wouldn't be back.

If it's not Tate then he'd explain that surely. If it is Tate I don't think he should be working with the public with something like that on show.

Not going to him again is perfectly fine, but trying to get him fired is not. For one thing, what if the tattoo is not Tate?

Do you know what? I actually don't think I know what the misogynistic arsehole actually looks like, I'd have to Google him (which is not happening) so pretty sure I'd have no idea if he was a tattoo on someone.

I wouldn't go back. I might even mention it in a review.

Exactly, not really shorts weather atm assuming it's in the UK

To have something tattooed on your body generally means you feel quite strongly about it. Actively showing off a tattoo like this sends a clear message about what the man believes. And he probably believes it quite passionately to have it tattooed on him. He clearly supports the vile, abusive misogyny that Tate the twat peddles. And I wouldn't want to support someone who thinks like that.

For those saying it's only a tattoo, don't complain and get the poor chap fired....would you feel the same if someone had a swastika tattooed on their forehead? Would you want them cutting your kids hair or doing your nails or coming round to your house to change a radiator or any other paid job? I bloody wouldn't. And I'd tell them why.

I agree.

I wouldn't want to give a single penny to a man who supports that vile disgusting creep.

And I would also be writing to let them know why I wouldn't be back.

I'm male. Last year I had a look at what Andrew Tate says...some is very good advice to young men. "If a girl isn't interested move on, don't pursue her". Then you hear what he says about protecting women...ok a bit old fashioned but yes traditionally males took a protective role.

Then he described women as property...WTF.

And this within 10 minutes of me looking into his views!

If only it was that easy to spot all Andre Tate followers...

Go somewhere else.

It sounds really weird for a barber to have a Tate tatoo. Can you please tell him that you heard a clip where Tate dictated that all male hairdressers were fagots. Not true to my knowledge but it seems like something he could say.

A better comparison would be:
They have a religious symbol tattooed, I don't agree with that religion/all religion so I don't want them near my child
We are an Arsenal household but they have a Liverpool tattoo. (Football is.. stupidly competitive like this)
They have Harry Potter tattoos so they support JKR and are therefore a massive transphobe
They have horror tattoos so must be a warped person because they enjoy that sort of thing

Andrew Tate would probably fall under the category of "offensive tattoos which should be covered" like naked people, swearing etc. But the most that will happen is he will be told to make sure its covered (if it even is Andrew Tate)

You’re also free not to hand over your money to overt misogynists.

Nobody has suggested everyone’s views need to align. But you know that.

I certainly believe in a person's right to have whatever they want tattooed on their own body - freedom of speech means hearing/seeing things we personally find offensive because of the wider principle. And actually, I'd rather views were openly expressed in people's private lives, even when they are offensive, because I prefer to know who I'm dealing with. But workplaces are different. No one needs to be discussing or advertising their support of rape, at work!

To me the test is whether you'd want your child's school teacher to be sporting such a thing at work. If not, then no one should.

As if, too much vino?

Maybe it's one of those new-fangled indoor barber shops!
