As submissiongrappler noted, we make assessments every time we look at someone. At least I do, I believe it's part of our natural instinct towards survival. Some it can be conditioned or reinforced by stereotypes. Tattoos and cuts are displays of membership in certain cultures and sometimes membership in that particular group requires a style of living or acting. Coptic Christians I know in Egypt all have tattoos of crosses on one of their hands as children so that if they are kidnapped by the majority it can be proven that they are Coptic.
Sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised at the good character of people who I've gotten to know who I'd normally not offer a job to because of their visible displays of membership in a sub-group. I don't have Tattoos but I believe society in the United States will eventually be so saturated with body art that it won't make a difference to those who are hiring and firing. Starbucks insists that my colleagues tattoos are covered while on duty as did KFC when I worked for them so certain corporate entities may take a while longer to adjust to new norms.
