I don't know shit about Essex other than it's a place in jolly old England and I don't know how much a shilling is compared to a dollar, but I still find this funny for some reason.
Tattoos also show that you have poor judgement and low self esteem, and that you're not only willing but eager to mindlessly follow whatever the popular trend is. Again, perfect for a corporate environment.
I don't know if that's accurate. I've said on multiple occasions to UA that I have considered dying my hair pink/purple and he always encourages me to do so. UA's issue is with a stereotype which may or may not be accurate. I've not seen any other post by Lanz that would suggest his statement is against a specific stereotype.
You see, Lanz is a squid. and not the cool kind of squid, either. Just a boring squid who didn't have any other squid friends and since every other squid had/has a tattoo (they don't), then tattoos are bad. It's much like the cookie monster and the zero divided by zero thing. Lanz' issue with tattoos is because he has no friends.
