It's no surprise to find a tattoo on a Gypsy Joker motorcycle gang member, a grungy rock star, or a wayward sailor stumbling back on board his ship after some much needed R and R in Bangkok.

 

But a tattoo on an accountant? An attorney? A college co-ed?

You bet.

Folks in the Butte area with so-called "square" jobs are hiding a naughty little secret under that freshly pressed business suit.
