In agreement with MandoMan, I think the female's tatoo is equally offensive. When heavily tatooed women reach the age of 70, do they ever regret having done so?
There is a stark contrast in how dress and conduct codes have changed. As relates to dress codes, when I was in my twenties, the times dictated dressing up in tasteful dresses or business suits to 1) work in an office, 2) travel by air, and even 3) attend a college football game (at least at Rice Institute or U of Houston).
In those times men in my office wore suits or sports coats and dress pants. One man I worked with ordered his expertly tailored suits from Hong Kong. Tatoos were limited to former navy enlisted men and not seen on women. In fact, I was more eager to someday afford a cultured pearl strand or semi-precious stone bauble to adorn my neck.
