Sure about that? I work for a major tech company. [/quote]

And you exclude people from hiring because they have tattoos? That seems problematic.[/quote]

I am the pp who thinks many posters are out of touch with times, and reality in many companies. We have bunch of people with visible tattoos and nobody having problems with that, [b]most people actually think it's cool.[/b][/quote]

I think most people who have tattoos got them because they wanted to be perceived as cool and edgy at the time.  It's an image-conscious decision, usually done with the intent to be judged in a certain (positive) way.  People who get tattoos WANT others to make assumptions about them based on their ink.  A meta-tattoo might read, "Perceive me as cool and edgy!"  The problem is that not everyone thinks tats are cool and edgy and positive, and you just cannot control the way tats are perceived by others.  But others WILL make judgements about your tats.  It was part of the reason you got yours.  Just don't be surprised or offended when they draw a conclusion you didn't consider before.  You were asking to be judged.[/quote]
