I'm afraid it's a human fault we do go by first impressions, the guy who owns the tattoo parlour in the town has his face & body covered in highly colourful tats, when I first saw him I thought " whoa" but as I've now got to know him he is charming ,a nicer guy you couldn't wish to meet, underneath all that carp he is a handsome fella, it's an individual's choice to wear tats, but in fairness I honestly think in certain jobs they are very off putting, it is a shallow reaction but it's an honest one, I certainly wouldn't take my accountant seriously if she was wearing tats all over her arms & neck. You may think that's patronising but certain jobs do actually have dress codes & that includes the none visible signs of tats & OTT piercings!.
