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.
The 400 officers are just the local ones. We are nationwide, and nationwide, I have seen only a handful of officers with significant tattage, and none in management.
We have approx 50,000 employes, and about 20% are Officers.
So you are telling me and all the CD world that you proactively DISRESPECT EVERYONE you come into contact with UNTIL they definitively PROVE to you that they have EARNED your respect!!!
You need to rethink your whole outlook on life in a civil society because the one you are using now SUCKS.
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.
Thinking you don't know that many corporate attorneys. I do.
Most of the ones I know have at least one tattoo.

And how many would that be? More than 1, or less than 1. I've worked with lawyers in many capacities, never, ever saw one with a tat. Yep, almost 30 years in a national organization and not one lawyer, including our own internal staff, with one that is visible. Numbers in the 100s. But then, none of the ones I know represent the mob!!!!!
Maybe you are thinking of Bail Bondsmen or, perhaps, Bounty Hunters, That I can believe!!!!

Not remotely what I am saying Open-D.
In a general sense, I treat all people the way I would want to be treated, until they give me a reason to not do so. At which point I simply move on from engaging them. Maybe that is disrespectful, but from my seat no person is entitled to my time or engagement with them.
Further, I treat people respectfully (as perfect strangers do, and "all the CD world" are exactly that) without respecting anyone on here as an individual. I will engage with you (and everyone else) respectfully, but don't mistake that for me respecting you. A poster could be a thief or a kiddie diddler or a spousal abuser or any number of other things which I have no respect for. If you can't see the key distinction in those two things, I'm not sure what to say.
Having said all of that, in the context of this thread, you have laid the bar of "respect" at some idea that the act of exposing a tattoo in a public setting is disrespectful. If that is your bar, then that would make me guilty by your definition.
Your apparent expectation that perfect strangers walking by you on the street must some how bend to and accommodate your delicate sensibilities in their conduct when said conduct isn't in violation of any statute within the framework our civil society is built upon isn't a me problem, its a you problem.
There are no victims in this tattoo context. We are all free people who are freely able to choose whether getting a tattoo is right for them. And there are a multitude of reasons why a person may choose to get one (and an equal amount of valid reasons why they may not).
Disrespecting strangers on the street I can assure you is not a reason any person even considers when they are deciding whether to get one or not.

So you have retracted your earlier statement!
Society, by its coarsening, is the victim. It's not JUST tats, but they play a large role. View any group of people and you'd thik half are either in MS-13, Cripps/Bloods, or biker trash.
