Different people tattoo for different reasons, but you should foresee it can be sometime challenging when you get into the workforce. Therefore, you should think twice before you make your decision.

When referring the companies, tattoos are usually asked to be covered during the work time. A survey done by Society for Human Resource Management indicates that more than a third of employees are required to cover the tattoos, especially some with bright tattoo inks and strange images. Though many try to argue that this behaviour has damaged the employees’ rights of expression, but this ban did not discriminate on the race or religion. What’s more, most people hold the idea that it’s more important to regulate the company’s public images that permit the employees to display body art.

Then, does it’s impossible for individuals to have a tattoo? Most managers and executives stated their views, ” It’s a visible issue, as long as it can not seen by customers we don’t care if you have a tattoo or not.” Therefore, to choose a suitable location for your tattoo is wise action.

Only when you work in services industry or healthcare professionals, where you contact with the customers face-to-face frequently, the tattoos will make you looks a lack of professionalism and education. Your tattoos will also influence your relationship with other employees, the tattoos are always deemed offensive for other people. While you may regard your tattoo as a body art but others that you contact with in daily basis will perceive it as abrasive and uncomfortable.
