When I bought my 997 GT2, on the other hand, I would have walked if I'd been presented by a salesperson with tattoos on their face
whats the point of having a tatoo then?

Your paying for a car not a jumped up 37 year old sales man

People are prejudiced, people judge a book by its cover and people stereotype.
Rightly or wrongly many people will think negative things about the 'sort of person' they perceive will have lots of tattoos. As a result, these people might be disinclined to want somebody they think is 'like that' touching an expensive car.
It goes against the very clinical, completely clean, minimalistic image projected by Porsche throughout its showrooms. You shouldnt underestimate how important this 'image' thing is with higher end brands - did you know for example that one prestige manufacturer has strict requirements about exactly how far apart each vehicle should be if its parked inside the showrooms?

it's very unfortunate but also completely true and how it currently is. can't blame the company for trying to keep their professional image they've spent a lot of money and time trying to make. the person with the tattoos should really have expected to be judged and accepted for now it may effect how people may seem him.
If your customers judge a book by it's cover though there's not much you can do.
For your own personal pleasure? Maybe it means something to you and you're not just "making a statement"? My wife has a tattoo on her back where she can't even see it!
I'm astonished there are mechanics without tattoos
Yea, I actually thought that too.
Ok, I have a new one, I will REFUSE any public service from a car mechanic to a supermarket checkout if the employee does not have any visible tattoos.
So now can everywhere make it a policy that all employees must have a visible tattoo?
Isn't that so the blokes have something interesting to look at?
..........now you mention it

Pretty expensive, but It does the job, and does a good job at cooling you down in the heat also.
I don't need to use mine anymore, since I joined the NHS, but once I become a Nurse I'll probably need to use them again. Not a problem, I chose to get the tattoo's, and I knew I'd have to use stuff like this to cover them up in my chosen career.

The only tats I look at in my showroom are the ones on the receptionist. She is rather sexy.
It changes with each trust. But I got written confirmation that I would be fine with my arms covered with those. Actually, I think our trust has recently relaxed the requirements of things like that.
EDIT: I just remembered, when I spoke to recruitment about me getting tattoo's, they seemed to only really care about facial/head tattoo's and tasteless/swearing/violent tattoo's on show.

But when you're interviewing someone all you know about is the cover. You don't know the person beneath.
If the point of a tattoo is just to show it off you really shouldn't have one.

It beats having to look at a pair of cheeks.
