has a tattoo or piercing ever worked against you?

If you have a visible tat, you will not be hired at the company I work for. Period. Ditto for piercings in the nose, lip, tongue, eyebrow, gauges, and dreds. You may think it’s stupid or narrow-minded but the fact is, you’re not calling the shots about hiring at my company. My boss is, and no matter how qualified you are, you won’t get the job.



I understand that. And if you DO get a visible tat, you should know the risks you’re taking. However, I do think this mindset is changing and it is becoming more and more common to be hired with visible tats because it is simply becoming more accepted by society.
