to think that people with neck tattoos should not be presenting children's TV?

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

My brother has an In The Night Garden tattoo.

maybe chidren's programmes should have warnings telling adults not to watch them.

cheesesarnie · 03/10/2012 12:48

op- i don't 'do' tattoos but that's my choice. others do and that's their choice.

what show a presenter look like? twin set and pearls? sweater?

yabu!

I love MN. Tattoos on the neck are JUST FINE! And must not be commented upon.

However popping into a supermarket with your little 5 year old in her PJ's after swimming and you're a bad parent, chavvy and there could be concerns about a chaotic homelife.

I wouldn't want my child to be asking for a neck tattoo

Your child can ask for a neck tattoo as often as they like. However, it is illegal for them to get one until they are an adult i.e. 18 or over. By which time it won't actually be any of your business.

Has anyone said yet?

Interesting first post OP Hmm

What are you saying?

What else am I going to do for entertainment???

NimChimpsky · 03/10/2012 12:53

Lueji, I'm sure my db would love to never have watched ITNG but his severely autistic dd has been obsessed with it for years. In fact I'm sure he wakes up sweating and screaming, begging for the whole thing to have been a nightmare. Grin

Aaron Craze is rather lovely. He has a small cluster of stars on his neck. He is a graduate of Jamie Oliver's "Fifteen" project, seems to be creating a very successful career for himself, and would appear to be an excellent role model.

AnOldieButNotSoGoody · 03/10/2012 13:02

Why not?

How will a tattoo make them less able to do that job?

monkeysbignuts · 03/10/2012 13:04

huh??
why neck in specific, what about hand or arm tattoos?
such an odd thing to say :/

LST · 03/10/2012 13:04

Ffs. Bet get my notice in now! Hmm

Sparklingbrook · 03/10/2012 13:04

Is it the fact it is on his neck? What is it of? Confused

piprabbit · 03/10/2012 13:11

Sparkling - its the outline of some little stars.

DreamsTurnToGoldDust · 03/10/2012 13:12

What about a Prince Albert? Would that be ok? I mean it could jingle as he walks and make a sing song sound.

SchrodingersMew · 03/10/2012 13:15

Talk about discrimination!

OP, you are an idiot if you think having a tattoo on his neck somehow impairs his ability to do his job properly.

If he does his job well then why should someone else, who may not be as good as him get the job instead?

PuzzleRocks · 03/10/2012 13:16

My brother has a fabulous neck tattoo. Children adore him and he in turn is great with them. But then children are born without prejudice.

SPsFanjoLovesItGangnamStyle · 03/10/2012 13:18

I love neck tattoos!

Professor Green looks attractive with his Grin

Nagoo · 03/10/2012 13:19

I think more people should be on telly being nice to children looking like whatever they want to look like.

DCs would then grow up to realise that people who look different to them might still be alright to speak to and associate with and less sections of society would be mrginalised.

Maybe.
