Should Tattoos be accepted in the workplace?

In 2010, when I was preparing to graduate college with my first degree, I had to do a senior capstone project. My groups decided to research tattoos and piercings in the corporate world. What we found interesting was that more people in corporate America have tattoos then those that have more liberal jobs. They just know how to cover their tattoos well. I personally do not have any tattoos, and I have been wrestling with the thought of getting a tattoo because of work reasons. I really want to put the tattoo on my inner wrist. But so many people tell me not to do that, because "its not professional and it would be tacky." I think tattoos should be accepted in the workplace. Employers need to be more open about that. Just because a person has tattoos, doesn't make them a bad person or be the judge of someones work character. However, I may sound like a complete and total contradiction, but I feel like people should have tattoos in moderation's, not just a walking art canvas.
