has a tattoo or piercing ever worked against you?

I have several tattoos and each means a great deal to me, as each one is for someone close to me who has passed away. While in some situations I understand the need to cover up (weddings, funerals, interviews, etc) if someone told me I couldn’t have them out on a regular basis (at school or a job for example) it would result in my immediate departure. Those tattoos are a part of me and the people I love. I find it insulting for someone to take such offense to ink.

Most of mine aren’t visible anyway (the two that are Buddhist mantra on the underside of my forearm on my right arm and a macedonian poem in the same spot on my left arm [granted, it is in a Ouroboros but that symbol is severely misinterpreted]).
