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.

Way to hit the nail on the head haha. You're so right about ostracizing those who don't conform to societal norms. I've tried to cover my tattoos but the ones that I'm unable to cover are the ones people have the most prejudice against. I have a martini glass, a rose, and a spider web on one hand (to show my love for bartending... I don't even drink) and on the other, I have a tattoo of the Pokemon my cat is named after (Luxray, if you'd like to see what she looks like), and my knuckles say "MUST HAVE" with the V as a diamond on my ring finger (my fiancé and I have matching diamonds). None of my tattoos are offensive. No swears, no naked ladies, no death or dismemberment. I mean, I have an eagle tattoo dedicated to my father that takes up most of my forearm.
The tattoos themselves aren't offensive. But my geographical location (I can't relocate because my fiancé has a REALLY good job here and he shouldn't leave it) is definitely against this kind of thing. I live in a state primarily populated by older generations and they just don't understand. I used to get every single job I interviewed for and now I have to ask their tattoo policy before even going to the interview because if I don't, it's a waste of everyone's time
