men and women with tattoos, hot or not?

[Neo-Scholastic]

Again we were pointing out that there was "disrespect" toward our own bodies...

Perhaps I did not say what I meant in the most artful way. I believe tattoos are not a respectful way to treat one's body. That doesn't mean that individuals, such as yourself, do not respect your body but rather have a different opinion about how one goes about doing so.

and no you didn't say visible tattoos you just said you like to look well groomed and professional which leads the reader to assume you mean that those with tattoos are not well groomed or professional. If you had said visible and unprofessional I would have actually agreed with you.

I apologize for using wording that could be interpreted that way. In reference to myself there are no tattoos to display so I didn't need wording to suggest I had something I'd want to hide. I was merely stating the standards to which I hold myself and the presumption that most people, like me, want to be seen as well-groomed, in the sense of not having attention seeking juvenile hair-cuts, and professional, in the sense of being well-dressed within generally accepted normative styles, etc.

All that said, I am a product of my generation. Attitudes do seem to be changing. When I first started working, it was suit and tie. Then in the 90's we had casual Friday's, which meant polo shirt and khakis. Eventually "corporate casual" was the norm. Now I see the kids coming into work with t-shirts, yoga pants, nose rings, and tats in full view. In my mind something's been lost in our culture - class. No one dresses up any more.
