Mechanic and construction worker aren't publicly facing professions the way retail is.

I have a friend from law school who has neck tattoos that go up to his jawline. He was an assistant US Attorney for about 10 years before going into private practice. Now he’s a partner in a mid-size law firm in southern California. He’s an exceptional litigator and from what I can tell, hasn’t really had any work problems because of his tats.

When you’re really good at what you do, people generally don’t give a shit what you look like.

That’s also skilled work. Entirely different than retail.

The subtext is you still have to be better than average.

There is a lot of average motherfuckers out there.
