If you want to be a Marine one day, then don't get a tattoo until after you have earned that title.

Advice: Want a job? Nix the tattoos

22.05.12

MANSFIELD -- John A. Brown gave 22 students at Mansfield Middle School advice about being competitive for future job opportunities.

They agreed when the Richland Bank president urged them to have a solid education, develop good communication skills and make a positive first impression.

But some seventh- and eighth-graders in Diane Bowers' elective BizWorld entrepreneurship class challenged Brown about tattoos.

"How many of you want to get a tattoo?" Brown asked.

Eight hands went up.

"If you get a tattoo that's visible you're making a decision about what type of job you're going to get 10 years from now," Brown said.

"My mom says if you're going to get a tattoo, don't get one on your face or neck or arms. Get one where you can cover it up," said eighth-grader Olivia Osborne.

"I'd go one step further and say don't get one at all," Brown answered.

Some students contended it is their individual right to get a tattoo when they are old enough.
