Tinker, you miss the point. We're talking about CPA firms here, one of the most conservative workplaces imaginable. Like Gar, I have tattoos (4) and a piercing. But I will also admit that if I were interviewing a candidate for a position and they had visible tattoos, I would not hire them either. First, if they understood the profession, they would have it covered. Second, we are not talking about my reaction to a person's tattoos. We are talking about the clients reactions. If I were to hire someone that visibly displays their tattoos, how am I assured that the 65 year CEO he/she will be taking to lunch to discuss a proposed project will not be offended. And if not offended, questioning the professionalism of our firm, as they expect utmost professionalism.
So, ShaniFaye and Tinker, lighten up on Gar, as I know exactly what he is talking about. Remember, we earn our revenues from other people, so discretion is always of the utmost.
