The new Bountiful policy might fly with those who are lds, but not everyone in Utah carries those same beliefs and they shouldn't be forced to either. It seems that with this new law they're trying to do that. I am lds myself, but i also believe people should be able to be themselves and be judged on personality for things like employment. Why would you deny such capable people that have tattoos when they can possibly be much more capable than those without tattoos! It defies the logic of best man for the job. It is also not too far from racial discrimination or prejudice.
It also seems that they will get many more arguments out of this law than they will benefits. They created this law to create a higher caliber of employees as far as image-wise, but are we really trying to teach the youth of today to really on superficial ideals? Schools try to teach us now to get rid of stereotypes and not judge people by their appearance because in the long run that's not what matters or should matter. So having the law go against that is not only a contradiction but in many cases a step backwards. How can we ever progress as people if we hold onto such old-fashioned bias'?
I realize that they're not fully banning tattoos in the workplace,but it's not far from it. If they can have tattoos, the employers should not have control over what part of their body is tattooed.

I really like how you state that you are lds. Also you aren't scared of asking those questions that really need to be answered. Like the one about what we are trying to teach or youth. That was one of the better ones i have read and it brought up a point that i hadnt thought of before.
