    I told someone that it's not a problem to go to a job interview (for design position) and to have a tattoo and that it's ok to not wear a suit (lawyer style)..
    he said this:

    They are only a problem if you want to get a real job as a designer. Employers only half care about skill, presenting yourself as a punk will surely never get you hired.

    so, if you have tattoos, you are a punk?

    • You should dress nicely when going to any interview. If you have a tattoo, nothing you can do about it....but don't flaunt it.Jaline
    • I'm fine with either casual or formal dress during each day (I prefer casual), but interviews should be about impressions.Jaline
