I also wonder, if the tattoos are being looked at as a sign of mental illness and thus a reason not to hire someone.
Personally, if I was choosing between two equal candidates, and let's face it, the type of jobs OP is applying for require no special skills or talent, anyone who can fill out an application can mix a drink or put up a display, I wouldn't be choosing a person with signs of mental illness.
Now I know tattoos, perhaps even in excessive amounts, are not necessarily markers of mental illness but, out OP is marked up and mentally ill, so assumptions woud be correct. Is she the most desirable applicant? Doubt it.
To answer a question, being smart about social change is working within the system, gain trust to spread thoughts, rather than being an extremist.

Alright, this is a site for people with mental illnesses to come for support, not to have people go on and on about how wrong someone here is after they've been told enough is enough.
It is not 'wrong' to get tattoos and it is not 'wrong' to be offended by people looking down on you for having a tattoo. Also I personally do not appreciate the indication that someone having a mental illness is a reason not to hire them...that kind of discrimination actually is not allowed in the work place, and if anything it is wrong that it goes on. Trying to tell the OP they are wrong and then arguing that its because tattoos are supposedly a sign of mental illness and therefore appropriate to not hire someone based on the idea that their tattoo is the sign of a mental illness really only indicates you're wrong.
I'm sorry but that sort of bigotry should not be tolerated here so I suggest you maybe think about what you're saying here and if it is appropriate for a place like this. No one here cares that you wouldn't hire a mentally ill person.....alright.
