Slashdot | Body Modifications Still Hinder IT Professionals?:

Dress code at a company I worked at was "business casual", with no reference to ink at all.

Then one day one of our desk-side techs (who really was a nice guy, by the way), got a complaint reported by a user. It was a little old lady who litterally was scared of the tech because of the ink on his arms. (a guitar, if memory serves) Instantly a new dress code went into place stating no visible tatoos. He was banished to long sleeves for the rest of his time at the company.

The moral: In a consulting company it ain't the boss who sets dress code. The client does.
