Not my cup of tea but each to their own.

How do you fare employment wise? Does it still hamper certain job options etc?

I think it depends on what job and what type of tattoos an applicant has. Mine don't come below my elbow, so I don't really have them on show too much. I think they're a lot more accepted in society these days and unless you have unsightly tattoos that are controversial, or in bizarre places that are clearly on show (face etc) then I don't know if they pose much of a problem regarding employment.
I think a lot of it is down to the prejudice of the interviewer as well though, although that would probably be disputed.

For sure Sutty. I once sat on an interview panel with a head that would not employ men with pony tails.
