I don't like tattoos and wouldn't have one at any price, but can still admire the quality of some of the artwork. I agree that some people with tattoos can look intimidating, and some will intend to look that way.
A mate of mine had an eagle tattooed on his shoulder and wasn't happy when I referred to it as 'the budgie'. His missus loved the description as she didn't want him to have it in the first place.
When my son lived at home he got a tattoo. The first I knew was when he asked if I could apply some cream to his back as he couldn't reach. Fair enough. Then he took his shirt off!
Below the neckline, all the way down. Abstract design.
He hadn't needed parental consent and paid for it out of his wages.
I told him I would have preferred that he hadn't had it done but also not to tell his dad. My OH found out a couple of years later when it casually came up in conversation. Me - well I was just as surprised!
Under your shirt, it's entirely a private matter. Up the side of your neck or across your forehead or love hate tattooed on your knuckles, that's something else entirely.
On a completely different subject: I am probably woefully out of date, but I can't think of any situation where golden wallpaper could be considered tasteful. Fair enough, he wasn't elected for aesthetic reasons, but come on! If he found the decor unacceptable, a tin of two of magnolia would have brightened the place up a bit. In any case, as he seems to spend most of his time in the garden, the money would have been better spent on a few plants.
That most probably wasn't his choice, it was his wife's. And you don't say no to a much younger wife, no matter how much it costs or how god awful the end result.
In actual fact though, golden hued paper can reflect light quite well.

At one time police officers weren't allowed visible tattoos but that is no longer the case. Probably infringes their 'oomun rytes'
