Tattoos. Once synonymous with gangsters and prison inmates, tattoos are now not only considered an art form, but a part of mainstream society, at least in the general American public. As far as the workplace goes, most professions are still asking their staff to cover up. Little by little, however, employers are beginning to not only accept but truly recognize that the ink on one’s body has nothing to do with the employee’s ability to excel at his or her work. Tattoos are becoming more and more accepted within all sorts of fields, especially in the kitchen. Tatted chefs are being recognized for their skills rather than judged for the ink on their skin, proving that there is more than meets the eye to these inked culinary masters, and Grandmaster Chef Jojo is one of them. Jojo is the embodiment of a self taught countercultural professional, getting the chance to live the dream.
