Oh well, if Wikipedia says it to be so.......
I was going to qualify my post with a cautionary comment regarding Wikipedia, but I have read it elsewhere too.

Which is not to say that people with tattoos are necessarily criminals.

I posted that merely to illustrate that Wiki is not needed to find numerous references to a previous post. I also qualified it by stating "which is not to say people with tattoos are necessarily criminals".
A pity you had to play the "race card".
I didn't play any card, I mearly made a statement about statistics
I didn't see statistics mentioned anywhere in your post.
it was plain as daylight TBH
The Yakuza is an organised criminal fraternity in Japan and are identifiable by their tattoos. Other groups are too. What's so hard to understand?
I don't believe that's hard to understand.what is hard to understand is the sweeping generalisation that anyone so tatooed must be part of some criminal fraternity, or completely lacking in either intelligence or self control.
Thinly veiled bigotry at it's British finest

They do, but the wearing of shoes doesn't cause people to categorise them. A tattoo does. In Japan tattoo = yakuza. People with tattoos travelling in Japan may find golf courses won't accept them, bathhouses, many establishments will refuse.I bet they wear shoes too...
Steve.
And who has stated that?
I wasn't pointing anyone out.
Read back over the thread. It becomes obvious.
Well, if you'd rather not say...
But again a paramedic is different to a health practicioner.
It's just one page...even you can handle that
I'll take that as a "no" then.

When someone uses the term 'thinly veiled' it generally means something is not stated but inferred.

Tattoos are heavily associated with crimes and illicit activity,
Really!!!
Well as I said before I have 2 and I've never been involved in criminal activity or illicit activity!

I wear glasses so I must be a geek, oh wait
Haha was supposed to say criminals, but hey, horses for courses.
I did not say that all people with tattoos are criminals, simply that tattoos are associated with them.
Like it or not, a LOT of people do associate tattoos that way, including employers.
You choose to have a tattoo, you choose by default to restrict your employment opportunities if they cannot be covered.
If someone doesn't employ you because of your tattoos it is not discrimination, you have chosen to have them, it's not like you were born with a skin condition, have a disability, etc etc.
that must make me a criminal geek then as i wear glasses AND have tattoos

Me too lol
Makes two of us. Just makes us criminal masterminds...
When someone uses the term 'thinly veiled' it generally means something is not stated but implied..
But nor does extensive tattooing mean a person lacks self control.
