Uncovered Tattoos and work.
Discussion
With regard to the lady in the picture (office manager), her inking's don't offend me, I just find them utterly terrible and childish. To the degree I'd be laughing at them all the time, thinking WTF ?!
therein lies the problem with them, pretty much most of them look like someone saved up £50, booked a session and said what can you do. Its rare you see a beautiful drawing on a great body: it's normally the scribbles of a child on acres of wobbly flesh.
Then again I'm the same employer who wouldn't employ you if you smoke: you'll be unfit, lazy and have sick days because yr health is done for.
Then again I'm the same employer who wouldn't employ you if you are significantly fat: you'll be unfit, lazy and have sick days because yr health is done for.

Why do you type all of this so eloquently, but then can't be bothered to spell YOUR correctly?therein lies the problem with them, pretty much most of them look like someone saved up £50, booked a session and said what can you do.

Perhaps if someone could explain WHY they felt the need to have large tattoos over their face/neck it might be easier to understand the logic behind it.
In many, underlying self-image issues I guess. Generally, they feel that they are invisible, so do something that gets them noticed.
As per another PH thread, Personal and chav number plates fall into the same category.

are these so bad as to prevent all future employment ?
In my opinion they are not particularly significant tattoos. I'm assuming that the concerns are more related to significant coverings of the face/neck.SystemParanoia said:

tattoos put out the worst possible message and image to the customer.
In your opinion and the other small minded people out there maybe, the rest of us take people as they are and couldn't care less what people what do to their bodies as we are open minded enough to accept everyone as they are and not purely on how they appear.Edited by WD39 on Sunday 25th September 18:20
'You never have a second chance to make a first impression', goes the cliche, but it's true. Most of us form an opinion within about 10 seconds of meeting somebody. This is usually based on appearance which is why those of us who dislike tattoos have a negative view of a person with inkings without knowing anything about them.
Small minded in that respect? I can live with that.

I do, in certain circumstances. I personally think that visible tats (neck, hands, face) are a sign of very poor judgement. Even if you want them, you must know they aren't everyone's cup of tea and they will limit some opportunities, so to go ahead and get them regardless shows poor judgement and a "f
k you world" attitude.
It wouldn't bother me if the person was fitting my tyres but I wouldn't be impressed if my financial adviser had them. I'd be looking for someone else to handle my money.
Of course, this is just my personal opinion, but that's the only opinion that matters when I make my choices.

That would be very difficult to judge. Members of the public are not going to discuss your tattoos if you are dealing with them in an official capacity.
More generally, tattoos are a poor life choice. When I was in the navy I did not know anyone who did not regret their inkings. Especially when in later life the tattoos fade and run so giving the appearance of a completely blue/red arm, or elsewhere.
Tattoo removal is now a growth industry as employers are not hiring applicants with ink.
They are particularly troublesome when worn by customer facing staff. It does not fill one with confidence when approached bt a tattood assistant, waiter, or even manager.
Let's hope that sense prevails and the current trend does not last too long.
I've only just seen this. I've Been working. I find that members of the public do discuss my tattoo. It's nothing offensive. It's a crown and my boys names on it.

A colleague of mine had several tattoos. Including a picture of a couple of the members of slipknot (each to their own) and on a couple of occasions his tattoos have actually had a positive effect on dealing with members of the public.
I'm not dealing with the upper class or higher members of businesses on a regular basis in my professional capacity I don't find that anyone has reacted badly and since they usually find something they don't like about you that's quite a shock (last week someone too offence at my nose, it's not even that big).
I'm planning on some more work when I have the time/money. I'm "customer facing" but tattoos have not been an issue.
