What happened

Flipboard reports: Could your tattoo stop you from getting a job?.

Why it matters

Tattoos have been in the cultural mainstream for years.

Common ground

Even the prime minister has got one (a bee, on his bicep).

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Name Calling / Labeling: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
