To some customers a large amount of highly visible tattoos will lead them to make assumptions about you where before they might not have. I have found myself looking at really naff sleeves on some people and reflexively presuming they are a bit thick othewise they wouldn't have done it. Same for loads of weird piercings. If you have the ability to defuse such prejudiced thinkings by coming across charming, polite, knowledgable, helpful and the like, I doubt it'll matter often. If you happen to struggle with those things it would seem to me a bit like shooting yourself in the foot.
 
I love tattoos, some of the skill in the art work is fantastic.
I don't have any, so cannot comment on the success of winning jobs etc.
Lots of my friends have sleeves/ covered in them and they are probably some of the softest and nicest people around.
Where it becomes a problem I think is Old Mrs Jones, (octagenerian) who has grown up thinking tats are thuggish.

If I employed anyone, I certainly would not let the fact that they have tattoos be the deciding factor in employment.
 
Any old tom Dick n Harry has tattoos these days to the point its odd not to have them .

I don't have any but seem to be plastered in scars which oddly attract a lot of interest.
 
i dont have any, but if your offering i would have a sleeve done and some :)

however, its down to taste and what they are. for example, you would loose many jobs with a swasticker? on your forhead or diy hot needle work dipped in the school ink, wouldnt you?

i would also like to read this one evening, cover to cover. :yes:

Swings and roundabouts, if everyone liked the same things in life well wouldn't life be Boring??
