has a tattoo or piercing ever worked against you?

I wear nice blazers AND have tattoos. I guess I’ll never know how I got to where I am in corporate America!



Perhaps by being already very successful before getting what you say don’t usually show? My kid probably wouldn’t have the same leverage that you have…
Did you have visable tatts before you got your first job?

In today’s hard job market, any little thing that can winnow a first time job candidate into the “no” pile will work against them.
Noticable tatts, gauged earlobes, etc will work against most kids competing for jobs with others with their same abilities but without the visable stuff.
