<p>Maybe another way to look at it is a tattoo is a personal statement. When you represent an organization, that statement may not reflect what the owners wish to convey. That doesn’t mean everyone has to dress or look the same, but if that personal statement is like a billboard, it’s hard to ignore. Just as a lawyer wouldn’t show up in court with a punk haircut and party clothes, a professional needs to dress in a professional manner, as well. Seeing ink splashed all over someone’s chest, for instance, just doesn’t convey a serious image, in the eyes of many, if not most, people.</p>
