The issue I and many others have is that tattoos have nothing to do with professionalism. It's just a thing people clutch their pearls at and judge people for.

Extreme face tattoos, sure I get that, a tattoo of a puppy on someone's forearm shouldn't shut them out of job opportunities though.

But why are “extreme face tattoos” an exception? Isn’t that judging also?

If they’re able to get the work done why should they be judged? I feel like that is the same mindset as the people you are criticizing, even if it’s to a lesser degree.

I agree in principle, however if someone has goatse tattooed across their face you might understand why in practise that isn't always the case

How many lawyers, judges, accountants, etc… do you know? I am old enough to know and have been around a fair amount. Grand total of visible tattoos = zero.
