I know some police departments have codes on them too. While they may be
visible, they cannot be types that would incite, like a swastika .

The only tattoos that bother me are facial. I saw a truck driver that had a
spider web that started on the top of his head and spread across his face as
it went down. He was about 60 and the tat was faded. I just cannot imagine
him all dressed up for his daughter's wedding or the like.
