The popularity of tattoos have yo-yo'd throughout history, with the art being started thousands of years ago and decorating many men and women, to being considered something that only the lower-class and criminals would place onto their body. In the 1800’s and 1900’s tattooing became favored by royalty and the elite. Over the past 50 years tattoos have continued to grow in popularity, yet there are not many politicians with tattoos. Some of these five famous politicians with tattoos have transcended their time in history, while others hide them in regret.
Winston Churchill. The famous former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Nobel Prize Winner had an anchor tattoo on his right arm. Lady Randolph Churchill, his mother, also had a snake tattoo on her right wrist. Winston Churchill was one of the first famous politician to have, or at least admit to having, a tattoo.
President Theodore Roosevelt. The 32nd president of the United States proudly bore a tattoo image of his family crest across his chest. Not many people are aware of this famous politician’s tattoo because it was simply in a location which was not readily visible. It was not that he was ashamed or regretted the tattoo, but the location that made it inconspicuous.
Caroline Kennedy. This famous politician with a tattoo may have regrets about her artwork. During a trip to Hong Kong in the ‘80s Caroline and cousin Kara Kennedy were challenged by John F. Kennedy Jr. and Teddy Kennedy Jr. to get inked. She ended up with a small butterfly tattoo on her arm, near the inside crook of her elbow. At the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver, the audience receives a glimpse of the tattoo, which looks like it is in the process of being removed.
Barry Goldwater. Known as the father of modern U.S. conservatism, he had a very small tattoo on the underside of his left hand. This tattoo was a crescent moon with 4 dots, which is the trademark of the Smoki People. The Smoki People is a group of people, based in Arizona, which functions as a sort of Boy Scouts for grownups. Mr. Goldwater campaigned for the Presidency of the United States in 1964. This was a time in which tattoos were not socially acceptable, yet that did not stop Mr. Goldwater from being one of the few famous politicians with a tattoo.
John Fetterman. Mayor of the town of Braddock Pennsylvania. Described him as "America's coolest mayor" in many publications. He has also appeared on "The Colbert Report" in 2009.One of his forearms displays the number 15104 in bold black type, which is the zip code of the town of which he is mayor. The other forearm bears a list of six dates. These are the dates on which people have died in awful circumstances under his watch. Now that is a dedicated mayor!

Aaron Hernandez will not go to prison. Why? He has broken OJ Simpsons record. Aaron is now a suspect in two other murders which would make three. OJ was only suspect in two. What good would it do to send Aaron to prison? He has very little room for more tatoo's so it would be a waste of time.

Bad Tattoos

This is an interesting thread.I don't agree with folks that lump all people with tattoos as gutter trash, scum, criminals, etc. It's asinine to assume that all people with tattoos are bad in some way. Everyone is free to do whatever the hell they want to their bodies. I personally don't care for over the top tattooing, but who am I to place judgement. This isn't the same as folks who say they won't hire someone with visible tattoos. I am in residential Heating and Air Conditioning. This is a sales and service industry. Our Service Techs are in front of several customers each day, during the busy months. Our Salesmen are far less busy, but can run several leads a day when its busy. We have a separate group of guys that install the equipment that the salesmen sell. Most of our customers are referral's. Like it or not, as we can see on this thread, lots of folks do judge the book by its cover. I might not agree with the views of these people, but I'm not willing to lose potential customers by putting employees that have exposed tattoos, mohawks, green hair, funny piercings, etc., in front of them. Everyone has a right to do whatever they want to decorate themselves, but these people should understand that they may be handicapping their future.

It's ironic isn't it. I asked a very well qualified young man if he had any objection to covering his tatoos while at work. He replied why would I do that. My response was "so you can get and keep this job". He thought about about it for a full 2 seconds and replied "yeah sure I can cover them up".

the problem is on the day when you meet that someone special, and they don't like them.

the second one is when you apply for a job and the owner exercises his/her right to not give you that job.

the third is the day, if it comes, when you decide you don't want it anymore.

It ain't like coloring your hair green or purple; or wearing funny clothes.

One of my nephews found that out the hard way. He ran the lumber dept at a warehouse store. Six years on the job, with positive annual reviews. He applied for the Asst Mgr job and got turned down. Reason: visible tattoos. At 18 he thought they were cool. At 27, not so much...

So it really comes down to personal meaning and commitment?

I have a place I worked for 19 years, and was the last of 6 generations to work there. It symbolizes a way of life and a commitment to our community...Although I work for the government now, the logo of the 140 year old company will be tattooed on me as a symbol of my commitment to the community, the family and the way of life.

Oh and it is illegal to actually make employment judgements over tattoos. No kidding, and I found that out the hard way.

Always joked with my daughter years ago that a butterfly on her back would become a buzzard in her crack when she got older…
I have never really cared for many permanent things in my life.

good point, and funny

Was at the bottle depot the other day. Chick ahead of me had a tattoo on her neck, partially covered with hair. Always curious about these things, zoomed in for a closer look. Top line, child's name, second line, birthday, third line, birth weight. Didn't ask if there were any more children listed further down.

Grizz

It might be, but I have never heard of anyone suing over it. It is called a dress code here.
Personal Appearance discrimination is not covered by the Constitution.

Tattoos are under the heading "freedom of choice, and consequences for your choices...".

I wish that was true, but it is considered discrimination and I have been a part of one as a supervisor of field staff. Not me nor my tattoo, but in the rank and file.

That tattoo was worth every penny she put in it, because it paid off in huge dividends.

Constitution and employment laws of the fed gov are two different animals.

OH WELL THIS THREAD LOST ITS COLORFUL LUSTER SO OFF TO TROLL ELSEWHERE. IM DONE WITH IT. WE NEED TO LET IT DIE.

A tattoo hardly falls under any discrimination law. Oh, wait a minute. Your in California.

My state senator tells me that things done by deliberate choice do not fall into the protected category here.

We were lucky enough that the fag/hag alliance in the state could not get a law passed to protect their same-sex preference legitimized here this year.

I note with interest that being an illegal alien is a protected category where you live.

Here we still believe in the US Constitution as written.

enjoy,

Do a simple search on the subject and you will find people with tattoos can be discriminated against. There is no Fed statue that declares people with tats a protected class.

Are you kidding me?

What a fucking idiot!

Ted Thorn--What are you really thinking? Don't hold back.

If you want to make alot of money invest in a tattoo removal business ,which im sure will be a good money spinner in 5 or 10 years time ..........when all these people that got them as a popular fad thing dont want them anymore

tankhunter,

you ain't lying there...

Check out 42 U.S.C. 1983; 1981. If you can find where Title VII or Title IX cover discriminatory practices of tats please let me know.

Did everything I could to keep my kids from getting tattoos. My son, who plans to go to graduate school and get a Ph.D. in linguistics ignored most of my advice. He at least listened to one small part -- no tattoos that are not covered by business clothing.

He has two now, not readily visible at least if he wears a long sleeve shirt. And, they are in German, so unless you speak German, they could not be offensive.

Still a bad plan, but it's done.
