I hired a really nice young guy. Very polite,clean cut, great eye for detail, hard worker, little on the puny side, but a definite keeper. The only thing is one arm is inked pretty thick. Although he's 23 he looks years younger and some of my older customers comment on them. A Jewish property manager was somewhat appalled. Whadda you do? Buy him long sleeve shirts? I don't care personally, but it seems to affect my conservative customers.

That's OK, the other half of your customers hate old guys... 
I say, keep him because good help is hard to find. Hey, its Vancouver the land of diversity.
As he (if he) matures into the job he will win people over by his professionalism.
You probably never saw the tats before you hired him, or did you?

If you hired him and knew of the tats then you owe him cuz you basically gave him the "chance".
You could have hired someone that never shows their tats...

I'm personally not a big fan of scarring the body
but only YOU can decide what kind of dress code to enforce
in an effort to please every bigot

one of the first questions i ask on the phone , non-smoking, no tats and no visible piercings. WE deal with to many retired folks here that are set in their ways.

Jewish folk don't like tats because of the history of why THEY were tattooed.

Bill,
It is not so much if you care or not. It's about, do your clients care or not.
If more than a few do, it is a feedback and you need to think about your business.
Definitely long sleeve and hopefully they can be won over if he's great.

tats arent no big deal anymore unless their just tasteless. My best employee has a full sleeve on one arm. He is very professional and well spoken. My clients love him.

Do you have anyone working for you?
We used to have the same policy Gene, but now we've adjusted our policy to no tats on the neck or face and no piercings for guys, only earrings for women. If I had a choice, I would not like any of my emps to have tats, but it's not possible here. I have nothing against them. It doesn't define the person. I have a guy that looked like the lead singer for Judas Priest. I had him remove all his earrings and chubs and such and he is a really good guy.

Not all Jewish people were given forced tattoos or endured a holocaust, it might be because of what it says in Leviticus 19:28 or possibly his Jewishness has nothing to do with it at all, he just might not like tattoos. He can't expect a special provision just because of his Jewishness.
Ask him if he minds if you eat bacon.
I hired a guy once that came to the interview wearing long sleeves and ever day there after he wore a thermal undershirt under his uniform shirt ( this was in January). A few days after I hired him, I pulled on a job to do a spot check on him and he had his sleeves rolled up. I was shocked to see how many tattoos he had, but he got to keep his job until he got fired for being a slacker.
I don't think that it's too much to ask for him to wear long sleeves if he has offensive tattoos.
