There are painters here painting the façade of our building. The one guy is moderate-heavily tattooed. My boss looked at him and said to me, “I look at him and all I can think is ‘that is someone’s son.’” I turned and just stared at her. I couldn’t believe that she even said that to me. Is she passively trying to say to me that I’m a disgrace to my parents? Psht.
I mean, I understand that people, especially the older generation, hold a negative opinion about tattoos, but was that necessary?
