Freedom of expression is a wonderful way to be different, not main stream, show individuality, a form of creativity. Acceptance in society can be limited to a select group, few in numbers, especially those with tatoos noticeable always. Tattoos are popular and most are too small or hidden when dressed.
There is a place in management, executive positions if it "fits" your clientele's expectations. First impressions can be a deciding factor to gain business and or lose it. For example, if I were to go to a Harley Davidson dealer for a motorcycle I would probably find the sales person with the tattoos. Just the opposite reaction if IBM was visiting to earn my business no matter how knowledgeable.
In the corporate world, for the most part, no manager in the public eye will have tattoos noticeable. How the public perceives your business is the "key". People react differently to circumstances when others are in direct contact. If for instance, and don't know why, I see a person just covered in tattoos making something I will drink or eat I will probably pass, just not the "clean" look I am comfortable.
Freedom of expression can limit your possibilities to succeed in life and many acquiring noticeable tattoos do not think of the future. Interviews by management for potential jobs may leave you thinking why you were not offered a position. Tattoos will do it.
Recently I have noticed a returning trend dating to my high school/college days, 1970's through 1980, long hair on guys. "Baby Boomers", as I am and had long hair, remember those days, how our parents could not stand as well as others from their generation. Guess what, my generation is now the corporate President, CEO's, executives, and, again, if the corporate image is "clean cut", you will not be hired with long hair and you will be asking why.
Good Luck, stay positive. |

Hell ya I'd hire them, I'm always looking for executives ON SALE!
Seriously. I think there are enough talented people with tatoos that it will be normal in like 20 years for executives, but untill then hire them and pay them less, where are they going to work...starbucks?

I would hire someone based on their resume, their abilities and how well they are suited for the job.
Ink does not make a person less skilled, less professional, or imply anything other than an appreciation for skin art.
To judge and define a person by their skin color, be it by race or decoration is counter productive to creating a world that sees people as who they are, and values human life and experience. |
