well thats england. lol. i went to my orientation with a long sleeve shirt on, and then when they said i was hired the short sleeve was on, and of course the psych asked me about them. but its the department of corrections. its not wallstreet. lol
my bad…yeah new england…she should have a chance if she interviews right. but as for as the job goes with tattoos, they cannot be gang related or derogatory…yes i covered them for the interview but then once i was hired, i let them show
The only visible ink that I have just now is those wrapped around my calves which are only on show when I wear jean shorts – which I rarely do now as it makes me the oldest guy after Bret Hart to still wear them.
When I was asked by my head of department to consider how parents and children could perceive my tattoos my response was that I found it to be an icebreaker and I went on to ask whether they put the same question to inked female staff who chose to wear clothing that displayed their ink. The response to my question was to backtrack especially as I threw in the suggestion that some people could consider only asking that question to a male in a mainly female environment to be discriminatory. As that word is feared in my line of work the questioning ended there and then.
Shuggy
in england it is hard to get a job if you have tattoos showing, if its a pick between me (tattood) and another guy (not tattood) he would get the job. even if im more qualified!! lucky enough for me im a builder n builders dont give a shit 😀
i am a strong beliver in “DONT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER” no matter how rugged lol
My manager has a 3/4 sleeve haha
Best Buy ROCKS – That’s awesome. They are one of the few then who don’t mind. Maybe others will follow soon.
Well, I own my own company, we work in retail merchandising and fixture set up and I could care less if people have visible ink. Last time I checked ink doesn’t effect your ability to perform a job and ultimately that’s what’s important to me.
I have to say that is one perk about working for yourself, everyone else can fuck off!
