    I have several tattoos and they are visible when I wear a short sleeved shirt. I have never had any issues.

    In regards to the Doctor Who tee shirt, there has now been three Scottish Doctors, I think a kilt is perfectly matched with a Whovian top.

    Sometimes, silence can be deafening. It always amazes me that some fail to notice the significance.

    I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean that tattoos are not acceptable in Scottish society, or that they are not acceptable to you, or something else entirely?

    What people choose to do or wear is entirely their choice in a free world, however, that choice is not necessarily going to be everyone's. Therefore, why should they enthuse over someone else's choices if they don't like it? What does one say? "That hat",for example, " is absolutely dreadful". Or, does one keep quiet? Silence is the usual choice.

    This is simple: Would you wear that shirt with pants?

    Then you can wear it with a kilt.

    NO!

    Remember that this is an international website and "pants" have a very different meaning in some parts of the world.

    Haha, checking my pants and shirt work together has never entered my mind before now. That may change when I pick up my kilt today, but I think that black will go with everything 😄

    I think what Jock means is that many of the older generation (and by now I mean people my own age and older) don't like tatoos but would never say anything, because they would think it rude to do so.

    As for the shirt, I have watched Doctor Who since 1963, and when I think about it, I find it rather odd that I don't own a Doctor Who shirt. Perhaps I should get one?

    I wear T-shirts habitually, always untucked, and with both kilts and jeans (though not both at the same time). I very rarely have anything formal to attend, and the office where I work specifies trousers as part of the male dress code.

    Or it could simply be silence because they're indifferent because most tattoos are no longer an issue for societal concern in 2017. Personal taste and opinions will always be there, but I think most people have adapted to tattoos being more mainstream without necessarily approving of them.
