Tattooed male primary teacher

[maddiemostmerry]

Would you have an issue with a tattooed primary teacher?

Thanks

No. Why on earth would anyone care? Unless the tattoo was offensive.

Omg, I am dying at the tarts. are we still doing quote of the week? Are we? Are we? I don't get any newsletters or round up or whatever, but that has to be a contender if we are....

@the secondcomming lucky priest for having tarts lol

@the secondcoming what a lucky priest to have tarts lmao

Male primary teachers are gold dust!
But where is his tattoo such that you think it would show in a classroom? If it is on his upper arm, shoulder etc, then there is no reason why the matter should ever arise. If all over his forearms and he isn't happy to wear a formal shirt, I'd say not ideal, but probably not a category killer.

At dh's school they are expected to dress professionally and that means covering visible tattoos under shirt sleeves and taping piercings.

I don't want to see tattoos in a professional context.

Irrespective of the sex of the teacher, I wouldn't like to see tattoos on the face, neck or hands; any that looked home-made; any misspelled or containing profanities; or any featuring nudity.

Just laughed out loud in an extremely boring important silent moment at work because of Rc priest and his tarts. Guess I shouldn't be on mn at work...

No probs so long as it's not inappropriate (naked woman etc!).

Just interviewed a man wearing earrings for a school position. Didn't bother me but the HT was unimpressed by his appearance.

no, unless the tattoo is offensive, in language or pictures (like swear words, or sexual stuff)

Just read first page and pmsl at TSC typo he has tarts. Classic

Off to read the rest now.

No I wouldn't have a problem at all, if non offensive tattoo.

No just be really you have a male primary teacher.
They are as rare as hens teeth and really help produce a rounded school environment.

Am happy to volunteer for fit young male arse inspection duties as required ...

Serious question posed, descended swiftly into vicars and tarts party. Lovely lovely MN.

I've yet to meet a teacher whose bottom I would want to inspect.

And thinking of some at our school, I'm shuddering at the mere idea.

I used to shag a male primary school teacher-in-training. He had a nice arse. But no tattoos.

No, as long as they can be covered by day to day clothing. Nothing to do with not suiting a teacher particularly, more that anything else looks naff IMO (sorry).

He is now wondering if he could make a career out of pictures of his arse instead.

Thanks everyone. It will be covered up and he is pretty smart looking.

As long as it wasnt offensive/facial/racist then no issues. Why should being tattooed affect your ability to teach?

No, I'd just be pleased for a male teacher! Not one in my DS's primary!!

If the tattoo were visible and of a reasonable size, yes, I would judge. And it wouldn't be favourably.

You are supposed to dress professionally in schools.

I wouldn't care at all. I think it's far more important that a teacher can connect with the pupils than that they are dressed professionally.

I noticed yesterday that dd's female headteacher has starts tattooed on her wrists. I was a bit suprised btu still think she's very good.

How does the decision to apply permanent ink to one's skin make one less competent at one's job, I wonder?

These people who admit they would judge make me laugh. Imagine you're having some pioneering operation where you have to remain awake. Suddenly, mid operation, you notice your surgeon is......TATTOOED!!!! Obviously this changes everything......

First reaction to the question: don't give a shit, just glad to see a male primary teacher.

Then read TSC's contribution...

Honestly, when vicars have tarts, teachers can have what the fuck they like!
