I don't think I would lump that poster in with the OP. They aren't on the same page about this. They aren't even on the same planet. Neither cares for tattoos, but one is polite and the other is...not.
Then I amend my statement from "your perception and that of the OP is becoming the exception" to "your perception and that of the OP are becoming the exception."
I work for a LE agency, and as I can recall, only 1 of our approx. 400 officers has any significant tats, and I NEVER met a doctor who had one. It is a cancer, however, that is rotting its way up our society.
What exactly is your point?
This is a big country with a lot of people. Do you expect everyone to speak with the same accent, have the same fashions, the same culture, according to your views only.
Just because you don't see a lot of tattoo'd professionals, it doesn't mean that elsewhere it is not the case.
In my area, some of the most well respected LE officers are also military servicemen. Most if not all have tattoos of some sort. Are you saying that the rest of us are lying because it doesn't conform to what you see in your part of the country.
THere are also lots of people with tattoos at my work (I am in technology) as well as live in a relatively affluent area with many professionals. There are many tattoo parlors in the area... right next to high end expensive boutiques in the same shopping strip.
Something makes me think you need to get out more and realize people are different location to location. Welcome to the year 2018 and you seem the only one that thinks that something skin deep as a tattoo represents a rotting society.
I don't believe you at all. Now if you said criminal law, I might.
Jack Dorsey, the CEO of twitter, has a tattoo along with several very successful businessmen/CEOs. So how is it so difficult to accept that a corporate lawyer would also have one?

Corporate Lawyers are, generally, way too smart to turn themselves into a laughing stock by the application of tattoos that would be visible in an office environment. Perhaps one of those ambulance chaseing personal injury lawyers, but few higher on the food chain.
Oh yes, Twitter the company playing politics with their users. Yep trash company, trash CEO trashy tats. It fits. How about the CEO of IBM, GM, or even GMC or Boeing, CFO of United Airlines etc., I don't know, but almost certainly not.
I don’t know why people continue to engage in this thread. The OP & a couple others are simply trolling. It’s obvious. Not worth the time.
It's an important issue. Physical appearance is importan. So goes appearance, as go attitude and eventually the nation. Being presentable in public is a standard Americans (mainstream) used to meet. If you look at old photographs, you 'll seem people wearing ties and jackets even in soup lines, and production line jobs. Now it is t-shirts and gym shorts, and underwear sticking out of the top of the pants which are below the butt, and nose rings, and other piercings etc., All of this represents a back-sliding of the culture, a coarsening, and uglifying of the fabric of our culture. Same thing with unshaven faces, i.e. the grunge look.
How far into the sewer are we going to slide until "we" realize that presenting yourself in public as a tatted-up freak show (and make no mistake, that is what you are, a freak show), or other debasing, in-your-face ugliness is dragging us down into the bilges of humanity, and must be reversed.
Have a little pride in yourself, and respect for the rest of Americans who have no real way to avoid getting an eyeful of your self-inflicted freak show ugliness.
Show a little class (high, not low)
Show a little respect
