it is true that if you are self-employed you can look anyway you want---but the majority of people in this world have to work for someone else.
i have never had a doctor, college professor, or banker who sported a tattoo.
but i have seen them on people who tow my car, dip my ice cream cone, or help me at kinkos.
my point is refers to the economic cost to most people who sport visable tattoos.
tattoos are usually VERY EXPENSIVE if you have to work for anyone other than yourself because they end up limiting your opportunities.

I agree with that to an extent, but those that appreciate the ART of being tattoo'ed also think about that before delving into the inked world
as for the doctor, college professor, etc....that isn't quite true anymore...I have had doctors in the past with tattoos, you just couldn't see them in plain sight...in fact I had one doctor that had a complete backpiece, the only reason he showed me is because he saw my backpiece, and we compared
same goes for BDSM sex play and wierd kinky sex shit. I had a buddy a few years back that ran a BDSM supply shop that was only open from 12am-6am....he said one of his biggest customers was a HUGE political figure in that state, along with that dudes wife....they bought harnesses, restraints, gags, etc....
just cause you don't see it, doesn't mean it ain't there
