Besides the restaurant-incident here the other months, have your tattoos and such ever caused you trouble with, say, when you ever tried to apply for a "normal" job where you had to deal with customers?
No, it has never affected my career. I am lucky because I know it has hurt other people's work opportunities. I firmly believe though that if you are a talented and skilled employee, that your modifications will not harm your career. If anything, you will stand out more than other employees. If you don't have the skills though, it's a big negative since you do stand out more, it's easier to be noticed when you're doing a bad job.
