Tattoos, first impressions and the effect on REI

[Nicolaas W.]

I am very new to REI and even newer to bigger pockets, but I am curious of people's views.

I have a neck tattoo that I not so intelligently got at a younger age, and while I do plan to get it removed I am curious of people's opinions on tattoos, obviously the ones visible in the workplace. Stories about deals gone wrong, or even better gone smoothly dealing with or being the proud owner of some permanent art would be awesome. I do not think tattoos are a definition of a persons character, however even as an owner of body art it is still quite hard to not take a second look and say "hmmm". and I could only imagine how a middle aged couple would feel discussing the sale of their house with someone of that image if it is not something normal for them to see.
