Back to the "conservative" topic, people (Custom) will judge and question you if they felt that you are a threat to society, and this threat, is usually judged based on how you present yourself, so while they don't accept body art, presenting yourself with one is potentially "asking for it"

Lol I have 2 tattoos currently that's on my feet and ankle. I've never gotten a second look at customs nor anywhere else I've ever gone to. Maybe cause they're so small but I just never had a problem with them.
