You Can't Live Here If You Have Tattoos.

[BoyAlley]

No, let me start off by saying I have ZERO tattoos, and neither does my partner.

However, I do STRONGLY believe that they are a form of art, and personal expression, and a type of free speech.

Now. Watch THIS shit!

There are statistically a bigger percentage of black people in prison than white people, so using your logic, they should be able to refuse housing to black people as well?

I don't think that I'm the dumbass here. You're the one using failed logic.

Tattoos have existed in human culture for thousands of years, and have been a way for mankind to create individuality, memorialize important times or people in their lives, express their religious beliefs, associate culturally with others, and provide visual cues reflecting internal personality.

Tattoos are art.

They are also a form of speech, and I believe legally are protected, if not under the "fair housing act", under the first amendment.

So the first Amendment doesn't apply to owners of apartment buildings dumbass. It applies to the government.

What on earth point are you trying to make?

Everyone here agrees there are limits on speech (aka the famous "yelling fire" in a crowded theater). The vast majority of speech, however, is protected in this country.

You could write a threatening note on a piece of paper and hang it up on the fence in front of the White House and get a bad reaction as well.

Does that say anything about paper and its role in communication and speech?

Your talking about the substance of speech, I'm talking about the medium.

[DirtyDanza]

Tattoo studios are still illegal in several states in the US: Vermont, Massachusetts and Oklahoma being a couple at the time of this writing.

Look what judges say:

BOSTON ? A Massachusetts law banning tattooing except by physicians has been deemed unconstitutional by a judge who suggested the state would be better served by licensing and regulating the industry.

The tattoo ban dates to the 1960s and was challenged this year by Martha's Vineyard residents John R. Parkinson and Stephan A. Lanphear. Their lawsuit, filed in conjunction with the American Civil Liberties Union, claimed that marking the human body is a protected form of expression.

Superior Court Judge Barbara Rouse agreed yesterday.

"Tattooing is an ancient art form which has been practiced in virtually ever culture," Rouse wrote. "Tattoos demonstrate commitment to political and personal beliefs."

They will be able to enforcement. Hell there are some areas where HOMEOWNERS can lose their home for violating certain neighborhood rules. To say that a landlord doesn't have any say over what happens on his own property violates the constitution.

a landlord does have say over what HAPPENS on his property. He does not have a say in the color of peoples skin. And that's what this is. Descrimination based on the color of skin. It just happens that the skin in question is red, purple, blue, yellow, green, black, etc.... all at the same time.

[ztik]

I see no problem with them being rejected. They want to have a certin type of a person with certin standards livng there. Its their choice what kind of social atmosphere they want to maintain.

They can just choose a different place to live.

[frostyimpressions]

My tats are easily covered, but if there was a pool at that complex, I'd probably be fucked.

[sonofsam]

DirtyDanza: You are a complete idiot.

1.) Okay so since you're into hardcore brutal porn like you are... does that mean you got throat fucked by your dad when you were growing up? Nice logic there, you moron.

2.) What ever happened to you fighting kimbo?

[Amputate Your Head]

Someone without any tats should rent a place in there and then invite the Hells Angels for a big moving in party. Nothing they can do.... the guys that have the tats aren't doing the renting.

[sonofsam]

Yes because i'm sure the hells angels would love to get even more attention brought to them...

[Jace]

anyone else find this humorous?

Tattoos are art.

You can't compare tatoos people are getting today with the tribal reasons natives got them years ago. I have nothing against tatoos, but I'm pretty sure there are several reasons people get them today and it's certainly not for artistic value, ink shows up way better on canvas than on living skin.

One reason, like all body modification, is that they're not happy with the way they look or their life and they see it as a way of changing themselves. Self destructive people may get them because they like the feeling of pain or knowing that they've changed themselves and there's no turning back. Some in this group are also into cutting, scarring, branding, etc. You can't try to tell me a cattle brand on your back is "art".

The second is a social complex that drives people to do what others in their group do in order to feel accepted. Ie. My buddies are getting tatoos, therefore I should get tatoos so I can feel accepted within said group. I think this is the reason it's becoming a high school fad.

Third, maybe someone close died and it's their way of remembering and not letting go. Or some type of similar big event in their life. Changing their body reflects the change that has occurred.

These are the only reasons I can think of.

Let me share a popular dictionary definition of the word "art" with you:

"Human effort to imitate, supplement, alter, or counteract the work of nature."

It absolutely amazes me how uncultured so many people on here are.

Why on earth would you think that "art" exists only on canvas?

By COLOR they mean RACE. Don't be a dipshit.

Who gives a fuck if it's art or not. That has ZERO to do with the issue, you idiot. If a landlord doesn't want to rent to tattooed people that's his right. In most places lanloards can refuse to rent to homos like you. Landlord have rights to. Or do you believe in communism?

I have a place I'm renting out, but I'm not going to rent to Europeans, people with brown hair, anyone that wears jeans, anyone with disfiguring burns, anyone who hasn't gone through college, anyone that has living relatives, (because I don't want them having guests), anyone I consider to be ugly or fat, deaf or blind, or anyone that has ever been to California.

By your definition a butcher is also an artist.

I didn't say it only existed on canvas, I simply said ink looks better on canvas. If it was about the design (ie ARTwork) would it not look better/brighter/clearer on paper or canvas? Of course it would.

Some of us are against destroying our walls with nails and hooks in order to hang your version of so-called art. I much prefer it to be on your skin.

if this goes to court, the landlord will lose.
