Every action has consequences... and this includes body art. Tattoos mean different things to different people - fashion statements, reflection of their ideas/ideals, following a fad, and so on. Anyone who gets a tattoo knows that it is a permanent thing. That's why most tattoo artists recommend that you think long and hard before making a decision on the design and its placement.

If a guy gets a swastika and some other crude insults tattooed on his neck, it is a decision he needs to live with. If that is going to bias a few people, well, tough break!! He must have believed in something about it. If he was dumb enough to get tattoos that he regrets, deal with it! Why should a judge allow cover up of the tattoos by a makeup artist?
