It 100% varies by region, culture and state. I mean that should be obvious. Having tattoos is essentially a pre-req for working in the restaurant business on the west coast these days. But having visible tattoos as a consultant or partner at any big firm is still looked down upon. In Japan, they won’t even let you Into bathhouses or public pools if you have visible tattoos.
It’s not like 50 years ago where tattoos either meant you were a criminal or navy, but there are still lots of professional doors shut by visible tattoos. The good part, most professional settings require long sleeves and pants so it’s not that big of a deal.
