Every young lawyer is told the same thing sooner or later – not in writing, but with a look, a comment over coffee, or a worried remark from relatives who saw a photo online: “Look at what you’re putting on public display.” This is usually disguised as concern for their career.

And a tattoo on the forearm, colored streaks, or piercings in this story turn out to be not about competence, but about the visual code of trust.
