Please, your post shows you know nothing of this industry. Is it discriminatory to expect our people to behave and appear in a conservative fashion? I think not. Do I feel repressed by the man because I can't wear my "Fuck Everything" t-shirt at work? No. You know why? Because I understand the environment that I work in and I accept its parameters. And when I get home I can put on my tshirt, whip off my pants and run around the backyard pretending I'm an airplane. And I can do this (not that I make a steady practice of it) because it is my home. When I am at my job, I respect the environment, and this is easy to do because I joined here willingly.

And I'm not sure about your comment regarding you having only been inked 3 years. I got my first tattoo 17 years ago. You are arguing for an ideal, that seems to state that every job environment is the same, it is the people such as myself that are different and discriminatory. Uh uh, no can do. I am as accepting of others as the next person, and embrace all lifestyles. You have keyed in on Gar because of his statement, but in this specific instance, he is dead on, and until you haul yourself down to where I work and see it for yourself, you would not understand.

Oh, and this wasn't meant to be offensive either, I am merely stating that there is a good reason for the positions we have taken.
