#12The whole point of a judicial process is to make judgments on the merit of a case not personal prejudice.
What if someone comes to court wearing tattoos are they more guilty?

#13The hosting company iFastNet uses a green and yellow dragon, which is what came to mind when I read the title, despite it being nearly 2 decades since I had anything to do with them, so I think this is definitely a marketing stunt of some sort.

#15Any image in this position would be distracting.
However, I have never understood notions like this: “it is juvenile and impertinent. The Court is not a cartoon”
Is like my great grandpa scolding us at the dinner table for laughing and talking.

I want to make two observations here.
First, the order being reported is made against the lawyer, not against the lawyer's client - And it is in order not to do this in future. So, while your observation is good I think the conclusion you draw from it doesn't follow.
Secondly, one aspect of your good point is that arguments are filed in a very plain format. The point being that the format does not detract from the message. In this case, the format heavily detracts from the message. Have you seen the PDF? It's absolutely nuts. I hope he doesn't turn up to court wearing a dragon mask.

And as the court pointed out, it's hard to judge the merit of the case when you're distracted by a huge purple dragon when reading the legal document.
It's the same reason why you can't send documents written in yellow font on a blue background - technically not against the rules, but no judge will suffer through reading it.

Obviously you can just choose not to watermark the document, tattoos cannot be removed that easily. And yes, there are various situations where you'd be asked to cover your tattoo if it was inappropriate for the situation too.

If he laughed and talked in court over the judge, he would also be scolded.

Lawyers are held to different standards of professional conduct than defendants. This also makes it much harder to read.
