Get over your self people, and stop being selfish.

Everybody seems to want to have their cake and eat it too. People with tattoo's want to be able to freely display their personality on their skins, but they also don't want to be discriminated. However, having prejudices is a unavoidable part of the human psychology. Not only is it natural to judge somebody's personality on how they look, but when a person displays their personality on their arms, they're are allowing people to form a prejudges opinion on a deeper level.

One the other hand, the new law in Bountiful that prevents people with tattoos or piercings from having a job with the city government is increasing the unemployment rate. One third of the people who apply for a government job in the city of Bountiful are turned down because of tattoos or piercings. Since there are so many people out of work these days, there is no shortage of people without tattoo's, who really need a job, to fill the position. So I can't say that is doing harm to the overall economy, but it is making people of a certain group far more susceptible to poverty. Let's not be coy, prejudices have driven entire races into poverty. Look at the African and Hispanic American communities, a majority of them struggle to make rent, living in broken down violent neighborhoods this is, and very small percent of these people will rise above poverty. The way someone displays them selves will always be big factor when it comes to getting a job, but that should remain a unspoken rule, not a written law. So someone might walk in the office and see a employee with tattoo's, that person can think what ever they want to about the employee, they may think that the employee is the scum of the earth if they please, but just because someone might think that doesn't justify making that person ineligible for the job. Get over it people, stop thinking that your personal opinion matters enough to force your will on other people just to make sure you don't have to see anything you don't agree with.
