I used to turn upto a lot of customer jobs in full biking gear and strip down in warm offices to a top that showed off one of my tattoos, did they tell me to put a paper bag over my head.. Nope, instead they were happy with the quality of my work and always asked for me personally on future calls...
If comments like that are all the guy can make then he shouldn't be in a job that involves him talking to human beings..

True, he should not have made a comment like that (I work in a customer facing job and have been tempted to say far worse, but wouldn't because it would cause offence), but the fact is that whether he phrased it well or badly, companies will tend not to employ someone who looks like that
,because the perception is often that they are yobbish.
Now, I am not saying that all people who have tattoos or body piercings are yobs. They aren't. It's just people percieve them as such.
