Traditional corporate environments are extremely "norming" places. Particularly for consulting, sales etc where you will come into outside people. In many places you don't want to wear a tie that is too loud let alone mark yourself as even more of an outsider.
This culture is changing however in many verticals. Where I am in banking and finance however it is still conservative.
I don't know why everyone keeps bringing up facial tattoos, this thread is about sleeves. Facial tattoos are still extremely rare and generally taboo, but that's not what was being asked about in this thread. For any interest, hobby, etc, the extreme cases are usually not well received. That goes from stamp collecting, to anything you can imagine.
