Tattoos and bodybuilding

How exactly does that relate to what I said?

Did your guy start off as a janitor and work his way up to head porter? If that's the case then good for him for climbing the ladder and not being content with a janitorial role.

Also have you worked as a porter/head porter of your building? Kinda disrespectful of you to just assume it's menial job especially if you've never actually done it.

He was the head janitor, porter was just what the union title for the job, it was the same job. I called it menial in response to you saying there was something wrong being a career janitor, i don't think any job is menial, certainly not after the pandemic where grocery store workers mattered to me more than idk my ceo

What’s wrong with it?

I don't think anyone should make a career out of a service job in general as it shows a lack of ambition. There are of course exceptions. People with some kinda learning difficulty, disability or if there is a language barrier issue.

And back to my original point. Someone who has made a service job a career really needs to check themselves before acting like a snob as there will always be a bigger snob.

I also said "I don't think there is anything wrong with being a janitor". What's your response to that?

A career janitor and a janitor would basically be doing the same job. Did you think I was saying one is menial and one isn't?

When I was a kid growing up, anyone with a tattoo was suspect. A tattoo was something sailors got and later regretted. So naturally, it never occurred to me to get one. My how times have changed.

When she was 20 years old my daughter got a tiny ring of daisies tattooed on her upper arm. Not sure how long she had it and hid it from her mom and me. Surprise, surprise, we were both fine with it. A few years later after she was married, she got a small Kanji tattoo on the back of her neck which was one line that was maybe 2" long, if that. I secretly hoped it wasn't going to become the second of many, but I never told her that. And it didn't. Those are the only tattoos she has.

My son is 9 years older than his sister. He is retired career military. He has no tattoos, nor does my daughter-in-law. At least three of my four grandchildren have tattoos none of which are on their faces. All of which are modest by today's standards. My son-in-law has a few very interesting tattoos which being an artist, he designed and had done. While in the military, he used his talents to design tattoos for military personal who asked for them. He even learned the art of tattooing and bought the equipment. Not sure how many if any tattoos he did.

I've seen a lot of guys at the gym who decided when they were probably in their 40's and 50's to get full sleeves and more. Maybe it the thing when guys and gals are going through mid-life crisis. Or maybe they figured by that age they've earned the right to do it.

Although I think many tattoos look really cool on people, I never got one. Maybe it was my mom's voice in my head telling me how déclassé they were. LOL.

The one thing I am against doing to myself is getting a bunch of random ones in different places.
I think if you're going to get a lot of tattoos, then go all out on a body part and go with a good artist even if it costs a lot.

My sleeve was just about $7k when finished but I've also heard of people paying much more.
Tattoos definitely doesn't equal poor anymore.

I work in a corporate environment and tons of people have them now.

[Flexacon]

you seem to have embarked on a hole digging career here

I'm enjoying shutting down all the white knights who are leaping to their own conclusions. Probably because what I say touches close to home or they just like to get on their soapbox.  Which are you?

As for careers. I never had one, only jobs including service ones, but I'm retired now. I'm still under 40 though so still not too late to make a go of hole digging.

[Ronnie Rep]

I have a tatoo on my pecker that say TIM......when I get a hard on it says Massachusettes Institute Of Technology !

One's career isnt the only avenue through which to channel one's ambition.  Providing a clean facility for the occupants is more useful and honorable than half of the jobs in tech, finance, or politics. 

And regarding your original point, i dont think anyone should act like a snob.  Pride goeth before the fall, as they say

[ThisisOverload]

Thanks. I’m sitting around 258 before bed and 254-255 upon waking.
I need to work on a few areas that are severely lacking but was curious about how tattoos might affect placing.

We all have a few lacking areas. I never had the arm genetics to go far in BBing, so i gave it up rather quickly and focused on powerlifting.

I think tats definately ruin the flow and definition, but if Bbing is just a hobby then who really cares?

A lot of guys are tatted up these days.

I work in a corporate environment and tats are pretty common today, mainly for the 40 and under crowd. This lady that works for me is covered in tats and had bright red hair the day i interviewed her. It was a last-minute interview and she kept apologizing for the hair color; i just laughed and said i thought it look good.

She's one of the best engineers i've had on my staff in 10 years.

I'm not a fan of face tats and piercings to be honest, but in todays world having some tats on your body is not a big deal. It's usually the older more conservative crowd that see them as a negative, because many years ago tats were associated with criminals and low class people, which is absolutely not true anymore.

This Architect i used to do a lot of projects with has full sleeves and his entire chest, shoulders and back area covered in old medieval dragons and shit. Looks insane. You would never really know, but i went to a pool party at his house years ago and saw the art work. Some of the best stuff i've seen.

Testify sounds like quite the badass.

Yes I agree. A career doesn't even need to be something that pays the bills (a job). But staying in the same service job and making it your career is what shows a lack of ambition.

For all the shit some of us like to give Goodrum he is a great example of someone who did service jobs to pay the bills, but didn't make a career of it and doesn't lack ambition.

That’s incredible. I tend to heavily agree with the no face, hands, or even neck tattoos for me personally. I like to be able to cover things up when I need to.

This guy I work with is covered in them and is also one of the best architects i’ve ever worked with (work in IT security). It’s going to be interesting when the management positions start getting filled up by millennials.

I’m in the same boat as far as genetics go and have entertained possibly competing, but don’t have the genetics to go very far. Tattoos definitely ruin the flow as well however I would personally rather do what I want than try to please judges anyway.

I appreciate everyone’s responses in this thread (especially from the guy who judges). It’s helped a lot.

Be sure to send cock pics to OMR, Prime and Matt C.  That is if you want to be fairly critiqued.  A jerk off video including the money shot is a great way to get extra credit.

Making $120k + union benefits + tips from Residue for opening doors and sweeping up is not bad at all.

Must have worked himself up from Assistant to the Assistant Porter.

[Flexacon]

Liz Windsor have the same service job for decades

She performed a role she was born into and stayed there. That's pretty much the definition of lack of ambition.

Under her watch several countries also left the commonwealth, so you could easily argue that not only did she lack ambition but she also did a shit job.

That's not even the right quote, and whilst the guy you're quoting does often have some great things to say, he is also a charlatan

Who is it?

[Flexacon]

Who is it?

Sadhguru. At least I've only heard it from him.

Don't be fooled by his look and attire. He is a highly intelligent and educated yogi. Still a charlatan IMO



This is the actual qoute.

"Intelligent people do what they love to do. They enjoy their life to some extent. But a genius learns to do what is needed joyfully. That’s when your genius flowers because it’s no more about you."

Fantastic physique but just look where your eye is drawn as soon as you see it.

The qoute was posted on his twitter in 2018 and it linked to the same video as your insta link. https://twitter.com/sadhgurujv/status/1039801448010153989?lang=en

Even in your insta link he's not saying what you quoted
