on the other hand, you have people with tattoos all over their body claiming their tattoos shouldn’t matter in landing them a job … and yes, I admit it … I do feel differently about visible tattoos! Note that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission could possibly take some interest in the case of a person tattooed for religious reasons who is rejected for a job on the basis of his/her tattoos … hmmmm … interesting, isn’t it?

more on a related subject: http://www.wweek.com/editorial/3335/9224/ Multnomah Bible College is now allowing their students to both get tattoos and show them off. Note that Matt Farlow, an Multnomah Biblical Seminary grad student featured in this article, is covered almost exclusively in tattoos with Christian connotations.

What about Matt Farlow saying “I think that Jesus is gonna have a tattoo when he comes back. [The Bible] says he’s gonna have written on his thigh, ‘Lord of Lords and King of Kings.’” ?

My sister-in-law is really going to appreciate this article. She is actually studying for her PHD right now and is an Educator in a University. Thanks for the great link.
