A Long Way To Go…
Although attitudes are changing, they have not fully switched, which is something worth considering when going for your next tattoo. I order suggest getting your ink in a place that can be concealed by your total up to attire, as many companies do still have reservations close by hiring someone with visible tattoos or piercings.
If you are taking into consideration a tattoo that may be visible when you’re wearing your off attire it may be worth asking your employer their atmospheres on this. I have worked in environments where visible tattoos were pleasant and environments where people have lost their callings over their new ink, so it is definitely worth checking.
Another matter to consider is how appropriate your tattoos are, you will have heard for the uttering ‘dress for the job you want’ well I propose a new saying ‘ink for the job you want’, if you have knowledge of that you want a job in a corporate environment, it is likely that they leave not appreciate expletives tattooed across your knuckles.
