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.
point taken
more info is always better, at first it was arrogant
