Seems like every time I see a US police officer on video they have full arm sleeves.
Is getting tattooed a bragging right in US police circles?
A lot of gangs use tattoos for identification and loyalty reasons.
Everyone in the us these days is heavily tattooed. The stigma around it has faded and you even regularly see face tattoos now. Even pop stars are tatted up- something you never saw 20 years ago. There’s like a generation of guys walking around looking like post Malone now.
As someone not tatted in the US: I’m happy the stigma is reduced or gone. I want people to get tats if they want them. But there’s plenty of people without!
Im Canadian and same, i had a Karen where I work get upset because I got a visible tattoo. She previously complained about my hair being too long for a man. That’s why we have laws that say that unless it’s an offensive tattoo, it’s not an issue, and unless it’s a health or safety concern, your hair is nobody’s business. So many of the “offensive or inappropriate” hairstyles turn out to be ethnic, so laws had to be put in place to protect people from these antiquated work policies
Even then, “tough guy” culture includes “tough guy” tattoos, and cop is one of the top “tough guy” jobs, so there’s a strong correlation there.
Gang tattoos.
Isn’t everyone? I feel like nowdays I’m the rebel for not having any tattoos.
A lot of it comes from the fact that there’s a lot of retired military personnel that trying to police force. And a lot of military personnel have tattoos.
And many of those who haven’t been in the military but want to be cops fetishize the military, and then go get tattoos like the veterans they wish they were.
Tats aren’t a problem these days.
I never said it was.
Point is they used to be, which is more likely why you saw less.
Against dress codes, especially for public workers
Most people in the US are stupid, so they have convinced themselves to waste money on bullshit just because everyone else around them is doing it. It’s easier for them to be interesting by spending money instead of, you know, actually being interesting.
Cops are obviously too stupid to rise above this influence.
Your account is days old and you have 100 comments, mostly comprising of you being smug and shitting on people. Kind of super depressing, tbh.
