No, JLM, I never said that just because you have a tattoo you are automatically a criminal. For that matter, my own daughter-in-law has a tattoo and she is about as honest a person as you will meet.
What I did say is that if you have visible tattoos, a lot of people will assume that you have a criminal background.
