discussion How has having a tattoo affected your corporate job career?

[Before Today]

So, how has it affected you? At the workplace, has anyone said anything or noticed it? Have you lost a job opportunity after they found out you are tatted (like after medical checkup)? Or you lose eligibility on applying for a scholarship because of it?

 

More importantly, on which area of your body do you have tattoos?

I find it weird that this is a thing in corporate world.

i work in healthcare and a lot of doctors or nurses have tattoos in visible places and they are doing fine. Or maybe it’s just my workplace 

[Vespertine]

I work in fine art, so it doesn’t matter  Our clients often compliment my ink. 

 

I have tattoos on my shoulder, bicep, and forearm, so they’re visible if I’m wearing a polo or have my sleeves rolled up.

I don't have a tattoo or a corporate job so this thread isn't relevant to me.

[SoldierofLove]

No one can see mine. I have one on my back. 
 

I regret it every time I’m reminded of it. Thankfully, I don’t have to see it unless I’m looking at it in the mirror. 
 

The only person who sees it is my man when he’s hittin it from the back. I do feel self conscious about it.

Not at all. I got hired with a slightly noticeable tattoo that I have on peeking out my neck and I just got a finger tattoo last week. I have others that are hidden

[Selegend]

well here in brazil doesn't matter what area u work with i don't see it affecting u unless it's like a full arm tattoo

even if it's noticeable, i just don't see it getting in ur way of finding a job

 

if your whole arm is tattoed for example or u want idk a tattoo in ur face it can affect u negatively tho if u want a more "serious" job like being an attorney.

but i don't see 1 or 2 tattoos having a negative impact in any job.

none what so ever. I work in a bank and we do not discriminate against visible tattoos, hair color, and most ways of expressing yourself.  

[Dear Reader]

I have tattoos on my arms and my company doesn’t care, some of my managers and bosses even compliment them 

[industry baby]

I think its only problem if its highly political or offensive ones?  

I may start working soon and manager asked me if i have any tattoos and i showed them and she said its ok. 

[Big Bad Wolf]

I don’t have any tattoos. But I can’t see this being an issue if you don’t have it in a visible area?

 

I would really like to get a tattoo of a platform heel, to commemorate a dead loved one of mine. I’m thinking of getting it on my upper thigh. 

[Jimmey]

It hasn't at all. I work in a bank and have tattoos on my forearms and it's not like I'm covering it, I do not. I've only heard some compliments.

[.Odyssey.]

Lol my corporate job doesn’t care. I wanna get a sleeve at some point and I highly doubt they’ll do anything about it.

[duybeeGAshantiGA]

The fact that until this day when you travel to Japan with tattoos on your body you arent allowed to enter and join onsen hot springs. Stupid ****

[Badgalbriel]

No impact at all. I don't strip naked during work. 

[#Beautiful]

get a work from home job. your bosses will be in another country / continent, you'll never meet a colleague, do your work wherever, dont let them rule you

 

[MadonnasBoyfriend]

The employers are right to think they are icky.

 

When everyone and their mother has a tattoo it's not edgy anymore. Not having any is edgy and looks better.

 

Hot topic is hiring

is losing your job because of a tattoo some american thing ? 

 

but no not at all,  i have tattoos on my arms and multiple earrings and yet i work in a super bougie, conservative milieu but they couldn’t care less 

 

maybe that’s just france for you but i could show up in a crop top and a nipple piercing and they wouldn’t even notice

is it a tramp stamp? 

[The7thStranger]

I work for a private business school in Europe doing translation and editing work... no problems, no (negative) comments, no requests for me to cover up.

[Into The Void]

I don't have any never had the desire but no one in corporate jobs really cares 

[getBusy]

My only visible tattoo is a knuckle tattoo on my right hand. Nobody cared when I got it 5 years ago.

[loveisdead9582]

Mine are all somewhere I can hide wearing a shirt and pants so no issues here

[Pacify Him]

The only place I hear about corporate jobs is here literally everyone I know is in the healthcare, IT, or a blue-collar worker

[Cain]

Literally no one cares
