Wellbridge interview questions

The interview went very well at first. I was asked on the spot how soon I could start. I followed up with a thank you email, and got a positive response. Then nothing, despite leaving messages. Almost a month after my interview they called and made me an offer, just a few days ago. But then rescinded it because I admitted I had visible tattoos. My interviewer casually mentioned that this was against their policy, during our follow up phone call, a whole month later. Why on earth wasn't this brought up sooner? It's not like he didn't have opportunity to do so. He also knew from meeting me f\ face to face, that I have a small nose ring, and *never* mentioned this was a problem, until a month after my interview. While I understand some companies have policies regarding certain aspects of one's appearance, this is something that you generally bring up, either before, or during the interview. Not a month after the fact. I felt this was very sloppy on the part of their aquatics director. It wasted my time, as well as his.
