You would turn down a Harvard Law Review Attorney with a USCA clerkship because of a small piece of body art? If I were your firm's client, I would fire you for poor recruiting judgment and find a new law firm. There are plenty of ways men and women attorneys can dress inappropriately besides that. I know of one who is the poster child for why pantyhose were invented when she appears before our state supreme court with her pasty white bare legs exposed. robbit, really?

It's all about how you present yourself and your capacity for creative clothing solutions (since wearing long-sleeve, long-pants combos gets boring quickly). I think the "tramp stamp" remark is cruel, and as others said, frighteningly judgmental. I wonder how many excellent job candidates have been tossed out of the window unfairly because of their surface appearance.

You're an idiot! I know many people in executive positions with full sleeves. They just don't show them at work. Check out inkedinc.com. You'll see there are many professionals who have beautiful body art and who cover them at work. Wow, it amazes me how ignorant people are. “Plenty of tats in the secretarial pool, none on the executive floors…”

I appreciate the accusations though :) On a more serious note, I really do appreciate all of the comments from people who thought about the issue and put down their honest thoughts - thanks everyone!
