You have a right to make a statement by your actions but I have a right to not agree with it.

While I don't agree with your preconceptions, I absolutely agree with your right as an employer to not hire someone with visable tattoos. It is your right as an employer to hire whomever you want. It is also a "risk" that all who get tattoos have to weigh very carefully if they are in the job market.
