I put visible tattoos in the same class as branded clothing and bumper stickers— you either want passers by to see it as a part of “you” or you think so little of the medium that you’ll toss anything on. In either case it says _something_ about you. I think most would agree that, on its own, it doesn’t say enough to make a judgment on you as a person. But given that most people judge others within the first few minutes of meeting them it’s def a component. I don’t know if companies that make it a policy to ignore, but I wouldn’t trust such a list. The world is full of firms that state “core values” that can only hope to approximate what the rank and file believe
