I never understood this thought process. If you have it, be proud of it and don't hide it. To me, hiding it is being a hypocrite. If you feel you have to hide it, then why get it in the first place?

There are many jobs where tattoos are not acceptable. A company lawyer once told me there is no law whatsoever that protects tattoo wearers if a company decides not to hire them due to their tattoos. Same with piercings.
A stripper once told me that most strip clubs in Manhattan do now allow any tattoos on their dancers.
A company has the right to make you wear what they want you to wear (nothing demeaning of course, but then there is Hooters...), to state you cannot wear any jewelry or piercings, and require no tattoos showing. You of course have the right not to work for that company, but not everyone has the luxury to pass over jobs.
