I have 2 tattoos between my fingers, I am very successful and work in politics where I wear a suit every day. Many of my colleagues do as well. I also sign the front of multiple employees paychecks.
Your opinion is exactly that, your opinion. It's not a rule to which there is an exception. You also are kind of an a-hole. Again, an opinion.
I'd hire the best candidate to get the job done (regardless of tattoos) and I'd pay them accordingly to ensure I retain them; rather than incur the costs of turnover.
Good for you. Sorry to hear you have to wear a suit every day, but if that's your idea of success, ok. What I have stated here is the truth. If you have tattoos on your face, neck, or hands, you limit yourself economically. The MORE your face, neck, and hands are tattooed, the more limiting it becomes.
My opinion on this is the majority opinion. Go Google "hand tattoos job stoppers" and see for yourself. The thing too is that the OPINION that this is the case manifests into action. I don't make the rules, but I clearly see the rules.
Agreed that having tattoos on your face/neck/hands is economically limiting your opportunities.
Also important to note that excluding those candidates is economically limiting for a CEO.

Your second sentence could very well be true, but we're dealing with REALITY here, and the REALITY is that what you said in your first sentence is true.
I run a moderate size ($10M+/yr) business in NZ. A good percentage of the workforce are Maori and other Pacific Islanders, who have a strong culture of various tattoos, including facial tattoos. We don't give a second thought to that in the hiring process.
I would think it's something that will hold a person bad when the economy tanks. Nobody will hire you because of hand tattoo but they won't because of it.

Exactly. And the recent rationalization that tattoos are more mainstream among younger generations is destined to crash. It's not much different than a short term clothing fad. The anecdotes in this thread mean nothing. Everything tends to drift back to the beginning. Society does not hold tattoos in high regard, especially for trust and employment purposes. It's unbelievable that so many people who have recently succumbed to peer pressure and gotten tattoos were so oblivious to the big picture.
The idea is to place the vital few tipping point percentages in your favor, not working against you. In 10-20 years the people who avoided and ignored this tattoo phase will be glad they did, not staring at their marked friends wondering why the heck didn't I join.
I would absolutely hire them, if they were talented and showed me they could work hard. I have my hands tattooed, I have my own company and we do about $3M in revenue a year. Times have changed, and tattoos are way more prevalent than in the past.

Were you ever on Sharktank? If not what's the company?
I don't get why so many people apparently consider themselves attractive enough to warrant smearing inkstains across their bodies.
They're thinking like, "I'm really, really, ridiculously good looking. What can I do to get rid of some of the attention? Random blot of ink should do it".
That must be it right? It's the only explanation after considering the two laws of tattoos:
1. No one, absolutely no one, looks better with tattoos than without tattoos.
2. Everyone who gets tattoos looks worse than before and loses out on more preferential treatment.
