You realize we have a page on Tattoos that shows just how prevalent they are throughout the world, yes?

Also, I think you missed my sarcasm about Rory and the invisibility cloak. They're non-issues, just as Brandon's photo is a non-issue.

Dan, A placeholder for people without pictures shouldn't be a problem. Thats common use. And they are all the same so thats a OK thing. The picture of Rory is a picture of Rory. It even says its a mascot and I agree with Erik we need Tux for Engineering. And no, we are not in the 1950's but as a international organisation we should still keep in mind that tattoos aren't accepted world wide. Placing your tattoo on a staff page and your face faded away is provocating the fact that he has tattoo's and not proffesional. Secondly all staff pictures are made by a professional photographer? Or kind of in the same setting. That will keep the page uniform also. Ed

I don't see any problem with it. I'm not sure how it is somehow more unprofessional than "absentee" (for lack of a better term) pictures being labeled "Cloak of invisibility?" Or the picture of Rory as "mascot"?
Further, what does "all but neutral" mean?
Really, aren't there better things to do than play morality police
because
someone "might" be upset about some ink? This isn't the 1950's. Who is upset, and why?

Hi, While its maybe not something for the whole community. Since only Staff can edit Wikimedia Foundation website I believe this will be the
correct
place to post this. I feel that the staff images on the Foundation site should show the
staff
in a good way where nobody can have a problem with it. The images being made by professionals for that. I believe the image Brandon Harris is using since this night is not suitable for a staff picture. The ink he is showing can discourage
people
and the picture is all but neutral. Secondly he isn't even really on
the
picture his is faded out. I would strongly advice to keep the images there proffesional.
