In some industry sure. I don't think IT and Stem care, I don't think artistic places care much. On the other hand, if you're looking into a high class service job or a conservative business environment, it's not as acceptable. And while millennials probably don't care as much as boomers, the opinions of boomers matter if the boomers are hiring or if they're the main clients of your service. If you're boomer or older, you don't want your high-service restaurant waitress to have a sleeve. If you're a boomer hiring a CPA, you're probably not picking the one with the tattoos on his arm.
It's not so much a rarified setting, it's about the expectations a person has of the place as well as their ideas about the type of people who have visible tattoos and what they are. I know a guy with sleeves, and while they're cool, if he goes into a corporate office to do bookkeeping or management, he's probably going to have to cover them up. At least in the Midwest, that's not acceptable in offices.
