I guess you summarized my rhetorical questions.
I just can't stand the pre-judgers. The worst ones are RARELY the clients or even the bosses, in my experience. All too often, they are from a jealous coworker or colleague who dislikes you for some reason, and uses it to gain some perceived advantage.
If people think it is 'unprofessional" than by logic, the opposite is true. Hey, anyone know any unprofessional non tattooed people? Thought so. There are so many important things in this world to worry about. What someone injects into their skin and calls art is not one of them. YMMV.
Would you like to comment?
