You're right you shouldn't have to regret it......but of course instead of a rational open minded society that allows for people to express themselves and pursue their real potential with some encouragement. We have a shallow judgmental society in which you either conform or suffer the consequences like ostracism and bullying.

Can you cover the tatoos? maybe some jobs would be ok with you having them covered......otherwise there has to be somewhere that will hire people with tatoos but I realize finding work in general is really difficult and frustrating.
