Its more like making a statement on your official homepage.

Sure; there are countries with taboos around, for example, tattoos. However, given that we run many encyclopaedias containing articles on pretty much everything, taboo or no taboo (including ink!), anyone easily offended is /going/ to be. There's a saying about horses and doors that applies here.
Brandon does place his tattoo first. The tattoo, you will note, reads "courage". It's what is known as a statement. Brandon is endorsing being bold, not endorsing being inked.

Hi, I didn't say that people with thats are not proffesionals. I have
multiple
myself also. I am saying that the page has a lay-out with pictures that all fit together and are specially made for that page. I believe you shouldn't destroy the lay-out or style by adding "personal" pictures. Otherwhise
you
should lose the style completly. Secondly we are a world wide organisation, and there are still enough countries where tats are not accepted yet. So it can be wise to try to minimise the things on pictures that can be offensive for some people. And as last. Brandon places his tattoo first and makes his face blurry. Thats why I started posting. If both the tattoo would be vissible and his face I wouldn't have any problems at all. Ed
