Not last overall, just last of everything up to that point.

Also, no tattoos for Fig. Not yet, anyway. I wouldn't be adverse to getting one in the future, I just don't really have anything I'd want.

Yeah, for something like that it's fine. While they're not offensive, I do still think they're viewed as unprofessional, however, so I imagine it'd be hard to be like a customer service rep for one of those companies that actually goes and visits clients.

It's funny, I worked in a contracted in house graphics design company for Yellowbook, and all the graphic artists had tattoos and facial piercings and one chick even threw purple dreadlocks in to the mix, but we all had to wear the official company polo tucked in with a strict dress code, never really made any sense to me.

That's a little different. You're graphic designers, which is a type of artist. When you meet with clients, who are presumably suits, they'll like artists with tattoos and piercings because it means they're authentic and are in touch with the young people.

Well not really, the reps we had to kowtow to were these super corporate British dudes in suits, but I was really just pointing out how weird it was to have a strict dress code when everyone was tatted up had crazy piercings and wild hair, it was literally like mixing this:

How was what I said demeaning to you? It's demeaning to the suits who would stereotype you in such a fashion.

I actually have about twelve small tattoos, or five big ones, depending on how you look at it.

I align myself with Satan. HAIL SATAN!

Dunno about him, I was referring to your best fan mail ever.

I would like to point out that I'm a graphic designer and have no tatoo's whatsoever. Yeah, you're coy fish and Japanese tidal wave/samurai tat's really express your creativity jerks. That being said, I want to get the alphabet in Helvettica bold tattooed on me.

in AZ, the main line of work are call centers. mostly cuz of the heat. and thats been my career so far. customer service for AT&T. then sales for QWEST. followed by collections with CHASE & FIRESIDE.

On top of Lawncare, becuase of limited hours, I picked up a telemarketing gig... man is it a headache. I understand the frustration on both sides so much better now. I always had an idea of what they must go through. As a caller you hate having those pissed off people all time, the crazy people (say random stuff) are sometimes welcome, and of course the yesses are the best. I wasn't doing sales but political poll calling, so perhaps i got the worst reactions, but all that matter was i completed the call not whether i got a yes, no, or undecided so that was nice.

I can't imagine working collections damn... Takes certain type of people to do that kind of calling.
Not for me, long term. I don't take things personal, but gives you a headache that stuff... Great job sticking it out man, that stuff can be tough.

I have no tattoos, nor do i care for them really. I've seen some cool one's, I have no need or craving to get one. I represent myself mostly through words and actions, I try to wear clothes i like, but mostly i don't care to much for fashion. I don't even have consistency in what i wear.. just wear whatever is easy to.
