Yea its very unfortunate that people view tattoos as unprofessional and everything els, Being law enforcement its hard to get in with showing tats, and I came across a man who completely changed my mind about tattoos a few years back. It was a simple traffic stop and I had him get out of the car since he was digging around his seat, i noticed his tattoos and asked what they ment to see if they where gang related. That man opend my eyes to a whole new world and form or art that i cant get ouuta my mind now. I thanked him and now we are good friends. It goes to show that the people who judge those with tats mostly know nothing of the culture.
