How important is appearance with real estate investing?

[Anthony Jasmine]

If you were a long distance out-of-state investor, had a head-shot, and occasionally traveled to see properties and network with other professionals- how much would a lot of tattoo's hold you back? I live in southern CA where tattoos are widely accepted. It's almost normal for working professionals to have at least a single full sleeve. I understand that other places in the country are not so progressive though. I'm curious to know if this would hinder your networking potential if you were heavily tattooed. I'm talking about professionally done tattoos that have no obscenities or offensive content. I want to get some work done in the future, and my concern is that I won't look like a "typical" professional investor. I'm getting back into natural bodybuilding, so I already stick out in a crowd as it is. I'm concerned that other professions might interpret me to be more of a dim-witted meathead rather than a professional like themselves. What are your thoughts?
