If I'm hiring an accountant, a schoolteacher or a retail clerk, tattoo-neck-guy doesn't get considered even if he's overqualified.

Obviously all things wouldn't be equal because you will see the tattoo and have an instant, unwarranted prejudice.
Sadly though, it'll be your loss in the end hiring the person whose underqualified but clean skinned. Not everyone who is quite heavily tattooed are people who've spent time in jail or even deliquents. Most are people who have an artistic side and chose to use their body as a canvas to portray it.
But to each their own. Leave me the qualified tattooed candidates. I'll happily hire them on their qualifications and best fit to my company over whatever stereotypes go along with having ink on your skin carries.
