I have never been a fan of tattoos. To me, tattoos are a tribal
thing. I think tribal tattoos that actually have a meaning are quite
unique and beautiful. The most beautiful are the Maori warrior
tattoos.

The servers in my restaurant were not allowed to wear piercings or
tattoos that showed outside of their clothing.

I've always thought the looked somehow unclean. But that is just my
opinion........please, if you have tattoos don't take offense, it's
not personal.
