Another Reason Tattoos Are A Bad Idea

FBI is creating an imaging database to track tattoos so they can inference your affiliations, religious beliefs and associations. Do you have an interesting tattoo that you picked from a tattoo artist's book? Maybe a felon you've never met has a similar one and now some algorithm has linked you with that person.
And your facebook friends list? Hope they are good quality, because facebook patented an algorithm to determine credit score based on the creditworthiness of your associates.

Not quite as good as the "Don't buy the oranges from xxx country because they contain HIV!" paranoia.2

And "they" are tracking my Ben and Jerry's purchases so my health insurance can claim obesity due to poor habits and my Powerball ticket is gambling addiction and my voting record lowers my credit score depending on who is in power...sigh...
If there is a felon out there with a Lewis and Clark peace medal tattoo and my son's birthday in a heart, just to name a few of the rather unique ones on my person, I'd pay money to meet them.
And I don't do FB either. I always wondered where the "billions" of users come from until I met a co-worker who said her mom has about 6 accounts because she never remembers her password. Talk about skewing the numbers.8 -
Don't do Facebook, I don't pick flash off the wall,
All my art is custom and if they wanna track my every move then they need to re-examine their priorities0 -

My freckles are felonious8

Getting one of my mom's handwriting. So incriminating.4

Mental health awarness, RZ for rememberess of my uncle who died, a custom owl, two fairies both of which have been altered. My tattoos are not off the wall. My artist doesn't like that. Similar tattoos will never fully link you to someone with out more info/proof. Tattoos are gotten by everyone now. Even my great grandmother's brothers wife gets tattooed. Plus I am linked to enough felons by blood and family friends to care about the others.
I have very few people on facebook. Most are of better quality because the rest were crazy and I had to delete them.1 -
I wasn't aware there was a FIRST reason why tattoos are a bad idea... My back is covered in them5

This too0 -
All of my husband's tattoos are one of a kind. I love them on him and could care less if he's in some database. If you don't do anything illegal why be worried?0

Conspiracy theory much?1

this thinking always astounds me "why worry if you arent doing anything illegal its all good let em do whatever they please including eating my young"2 -
I'm pretty traditional and I believe that tattoos have a place but living in Albuquerque I have seen it all on a new level. People here have them on the face and neck and all over their chest and arms where it is completely visible and not easily covered up. Women in their mid thirties have Bright pink/blue/green hair and piercings in their noses like a bull and in their nostrils. How do they ever expect to get a job in a professional environment ? Its crazy to me. I see it as immature and unusual. If you want to have tats and personal modifications to your body... great by all means, but put them in a place that they can be covered when its not appropriate to show them.

Modified. I like it!
Actually, the situation you describe is good for the unmodified. Less competition for jobs and other opportunities.
Also, I prefer that the modified be easy to spot, rather than these modifications be hidden under clothes. It's better to know what you're dealing with from the get go.
What if one was screening applicants for a potential romance? And then when a seemingly right individual was decided upon, that individual took off some clothes in the comfort of a mutually private moment and revealed...modifications.
How would the unmodified bow gracefully out of that scenario and then be stuck trying to explain why it's not going to work after all?
I agree. It's much easier to identify "them" this way: don't have to mess around with gold stars, ethnic identification cards, tattooed serial numbers and stuff like that to keep track of who's who.4 -

My freckles are where I hide the souls of my enemies. That, and my tattoos are all custom.2 -

I would much rather live my life the way I want to than worry about what big brother is screening. That's all I'm saying. I have nothing to worry about.0 -

Not on Facebook and my tattoos are all custom. They'll never get me (insert evil laugh)

I used to get paranoid too. Then I laid off the drugs and it cleared right up.5

Not gonna argue with you but does mean cause I have sleeves I can't get a job in a professional environment? Or my best friend? She has two huge tattoos on her legs and a huge back piece and she is a department director at major university. I think the stereotype of people not being able to do something over tattoos, hair style or piercings or whatever is getting old. I seriously doubt that if my mom was having a heart attack that I would care about his ink over him saving her life4 -

Tattoos are something I'd want to know about ahead of time. Not, say, after I let someone stick their tongue in my mouth. I'd want to know before so I could ask for a Hep C blood test.
is that a joke? I would laugh so hard if someone told me that, because of my tats, they needed me to get a hep c blood test before they would consider dating me. All my tats are by the same artist who works at a very clean shop. Worth noting also, hep c isn't spread by saliva soooo

He's talking about the possibility of blood on the needle but if there was blood on the needle I'd be worried about more than Hep C to be honest with you
