Great point.
Rush, as much as we would like to think it does, does not hold nearly as much importance as a job interview. Therefore, the protocol and dress cannot be compared.
Call me crazy, but...
Rush threads as of late--not this one--have gotten pretty shallow. It's one thing to tell a rushee to put her best face forward. But, once we start getting into different sorts of manicures, dresses, hose, and suggesting that bids wouldn't be extended to a woman who didn't wear black hose...it's going too far. Reading some of the stuff on this and other threads, it makes me so happy to know that I was part of a Greek system that cared only about attracting the women who put their best faces forward and were potentially great sisters--and not the ones who looked "acceptable" in an antiquated values system. I was raised not to wear white after Labor Day, for example, but I will not criticize someone who chooses to do so. To each her own.
My advice would be to go with what is most comfortable for you, as well as your individual school. If you are okay with being cut from some close-minded houses, and are simply looking for the best sisterhood for you, I'd say show off the tattoos. They sound lovely.
