Why are people like this? Why does it matter so much that someone has some art on their skin? I think tattoos are interesting and also they are really useful -- like children and pets, they are a guaranteed small talk/cheering talk subject. And unlike children and pets one knows right away if someone has them! (Or not, of course.)
Also wow, that was an insubordinate response to the principal's comment about the poster. One should really not tell one's boss "I don't care about this thing you care about" to their face, or at least, do so about a much more important issue. (I don't even like calling people's actions 'insubordinate' because it's such an abused term, but this definitely fits.)
ETA AND ANOTHER THINg ... potential employers judge on all sorts of stuff. I have had people tell me I should straighten my hair, change my name, and of course, lose weight, citing potential employers. At a certain point one must be oneself rather than trying to please unknown people according to one's theories of what they may want.
