      @tatmantall:

      never been hit from rakuten either. Got hit hard once for a pair of jeans that came from the EU, that has been my only experience thus far… (*knocks on wood)

      DC4?

      No I'm trying to remember their name off the top of my head but I'm coming up blank at the moment as soon as I think if it ill tell ya

      No worries.  Just curious what the hit was like ordering from them.

        having a big summer party with the company and about more than 100 colleagues and all…sport should be on the agenda!
        atm. i've always covered my tattoos so far and went with a ls shirt...not so sure i'd be able to do that on friday (30 degrees celsius ain't helping!).
        canceled the party for now (not just cuz of that, but have some other stuff i need to take care of. for work and privat as well)

        ...what would jesus you guys do? i'm mostly concerned to show some ink on the first big gig, where all the big bosses come together and shit…still "on probation" as you might need to know! 🙂

          Keep on wearing a longsleeve if you are worried Rafa otherwise show off j/k 🙂 talk to your HR Manager in confidence in advance imho and ask about any Tattoo policies. I am working in a extremely conservative business and keep strictly covered, legs and arms. But most of our people and even clients know i am inked. However, I am always keeping covered. But tbh most of the people are relaxed nowadays, check the program with your HR and wear a shirt when the big guys show up.

          I am sure there are quite a lot tatted up in your division 🙂

          Cheers,
          David

            @Chris:

            Given the choice, I'd rather buy from Blue in Green.  I bought my Oni jeans from Rakuten because BiG was out of my size, and the difference in price was almost completely negated after currency conversion fees, shipping and the cost of hemming.  I didn't have any customs charges, and the seller (I forget who it was) was great, so it all went smoothly, but I would have preferred the convenience of letting Gordon do everything for me.

            Rakuten- $215 + 30ish shipping + $25(local hemming) = $270
            BiG- $325 + $30 tax + free hemming= $355

            I'll most likely buy from BiG even though there's an $85 difference since I can try them on first.
            Now I just need to call and have them hold a pair for me.

              Rafa,

              I really don't know how it's down your way, but here in situations like that tats don't matter. As far as I know.
              in office enviroment and in business meetings I'm covered. Just out of courtesy towards others.

              If you're unsure about policies, keep covered until you know it's cool….

                Yeah, my circumstances swing it a bit more in favor of BiG; no sales tax for out of state purchase, plus additional shipping cost to send the jeans to someone capable of chainstitching the hem.  The ability to try a pair on before buying is worth a lot.  I've been pretty lucky thus far with my internet purchases, but the sizing failures hurt.

                    In my perpetual trawl around the Internet for all things denim related I have always noticed people from countries other than the UK discussing G-Star Raw denim on forums and in venues where, what I would consider, higher level brands are the norm.

                    My question is this, in the UK G Star is worn by chavs and nasty little urchins who enjoy having RAW plastered down their leg or across their arse. Is the perception of the brand different in other countries?

                    Same question for Superdry?

                      Yep.  Same here.  G-Star is for douchebags.

                        "Loud" G-star is for the Belgian chavs, so is Superdry. The tackier the garment of said brands and the louder the placement of its logos, the prouder they sport it.

                              Finn, Lori and I both cover our tattoos when we're at events with corporate brass. It's a pain in the ass, especially for her. I've been shocked hearing some people openly discuss how they feel about tattoos. I was at a lunch one time with a person that was trying to recruit me and our waitress had a couple of visible tattoos. The gentlemen proceeded to express how distasteful it was and that he couldn't believe this "fine" restaurant would allow a waitress like that. He further explained how he just doesn't get this whole "tattoo" thing, and really thinks people that get them are complete idiots. Needless to say, I declined his offer. Now, that I'm the executive of a small business, my people are very comfortable with tattoos. In fact, when we have events for our company, Lori and I don't cover our tattoos at all. I think it really depends, and this first event, I'd play it safe.

                              Fat dudes need good clothes too.

                                  It makes me sick that people judge others based on personal decisions like whether they make body modifications.  I remember the dude with the mohawk on the SpaceX team got all this attention.  Why?  Who the fuck cares?  As long as you do your job and have decent hygiene and don't wear a banana hammock to work, I couldn't care less about your outward appearance.

                                  Think it, be it.

                                    Tattoos don't bother me, though I don't see many in my profession.  I work in a fairly conservative field; lots of older, rural white dudes.  If they have tats at all, they tend to be faded old military ones, or occasionally the prison variety.

                                    I have to admit that I don't really like lots of piercings and gauges- they're distracting.  Nothing against the people that have them, it just makes it harder for me to concentrate.

                                    All that aside, I have to admit, I've teased my brother and one nephew for years over some of their less "cool" tattoos.
