She agreed and they've stricken the rule from the entire company's policy. I've always kept the bloody girl covered, as a consideration for what other people would probably find offensive, and that has never been an issue, but when a tattoo is something rather inocuous like the biomechanical dna and constellations I have on my forearm, I don't see the problem. Some people need to **** off.

As emerging generations begin to rise to boss positions in the workplace there will be a big reform when it comes to tattoos, as they are now far more common for people. Nearly everyone I know has some sort of tattoo, even a lot of my professors at school have them. The older generations will hang onto their management positions for another couple of years, but give it 20 years and I think most tattoo work policy rules will be amended or thrown outright.
