Head shops that sell rolling papers, hookas and that type of stuff hire people with tattoos, or record shops.
I am sorry but the stigma is actually not justified. Why should people live in fear of expressing themselves due to stigma? Better yet why is it ok for their to be stigma against people with tatoos....or people who make other sorts of personal choices that don't hurt anyone else? The stigma should not be there in the first place but since it is, it should be challenged.

It seems our society and capitalistic system is very superficial and shallow.......and people are supposed to strive to succeed in it? well where is the motivation to do that if its all about conforming to some superficial standard of what's proper and normal.
