As a person who does have a tattoo, which I do regret, had it done on my 21st birthday and don't want to go through the pain of having it removed. I worked in the food industry, waitress, bartender in as I was going to school, it was required that they had to be covered, could not be seen to our customers. I worked in some very nice places and it was never an option to show the the tattoos, if you didn't cover it you were sent home to change or don't come back. I have talked to to servers here and in some of the hair salons, same thing, some places require they be covered some don't. Personally I don't want to look at someones tattooed arms or wherever there tattoos are with graphic pictures or words that could be construed as offensive, guess it depends on how much and where. I think does reflect on the business and I know see managements point when I was younger about covering up. If I am in a sports bar, maybe okay, but a place like Lopez, Hemmingways, Palmer, maybe not so attractive to show off.
