Is it workplace discrimination?

Today I saw that my boss had me photoshopped for marketing purposes. I'm an interior designer; I work in a creative field. There is nowhere in our employee handbook that says anything against exposed tattoos. I showed up to my interview with my leg sleeve exposed, so as to ensure tattoo visibility would not be an issue.

She could have just selected a photo of the space without me, or any person in it, but she chose to use the slow exposure and to have my tattoos removed. I found out by checking updates on our company portfolio on our website. I'm sort of at my wit's end with my boss, (why I joined this sub red) so I'm wondering…

I'm sort of at my wit's end with my boss, (why I joined this sub red) so I'm wondering if that is compounding to make me upset over this, or is it rational to be upset?

Thanks, y'all.
