An accountant who changed her professional LinkedIn headshot to show off her heavily tattooed arms - after hiding them at work for years - has seen a post about the image viewed more than 31,000 times.  Jessica Leonard, 36, from Cleveland, Ohio, decided to share a photo on the careers social media networking site that reflected her look more authentically, sharing a bio image with her 'sleeves' clearly on display.The public accountant, who works for Evolution Capital Partners, says she had a conversation with her boss about whether it was the right thing to do, fearing that people would 'judge' her for the etchings, and that it might harm her career. She says he reduced her to tears when he wrote back that she should be 'loud and proud' about her body art, a sentiment largely echoed in the 3,000 comments that have been posted about the photo on LinkedIn. However, some said that body art was still frowned upon in professional environments, with one LinkedIn user calling them 'distracting'.  Jessica Leonard, a public accountant from Cleveland, Ohio, had new professional bio photos taken by her employer, Evolution Capital Partners, late last year showing her with her tattooed arms exposed and hidden by a suit…
