Are you "tatted up"? Tattoos, which have ancient beginnings, are looked upon as a form of self-expression. Some people have tattoos that are understated - the name of a boyfriend, girlfriend or child. Others sport more elaborate or unusual designs (mythology or bar codes, anyone?). Chandra Fox writes about how workplaces view tattooed employees.

She writes: "Many old-timers feel that tattoos are inappropriate and should be covered in the workplace, but some Fortune 500 companies (Coca-Cola and Starbucks) have become more open to the idea of body art (through tattoos and piercings), realizing that truly inventive professionals are not only creative from 9 to 5."
