Tattoos and jobs

redsamurai said:
This I understand, if you got clients coming through the shop....but what do you then tell the other guys with sleeves? Just tell em all to cover it up on days you bring people through. If he's doing everything right why bother? He probably really needed the job which is why he was covering it up.

My other guys have more trendy looking tats. Tribal designs, art peices and themes. This guy looks like he went to the standard so cal prison tattoo clinic and got the deluxe package.

i'm not mad...i'm just imparting the general consensus from the professional world...tats are generally seen as CLM's (career limiting moves)...that said, probably more than half of my friends, family and acquiantances have ink or body art of some sort...and pretty much all of them are successful people so, meh...whatever.

I used to interview and hire people when I was a manager in retail. I hired a really cool black dude with dreadlocks and gang tats all over him. I didn't give a shit, he seemed really eager to work in the interview and I just liked his personality. He turned out to be THE hardest working motherfucker I've ever had the pleasure of working with. He did three times the amount of work than anybody else, and never complained.

It wasn't until several months later that I learned he didn't have a vehicle. He lived roughly 11 miles from our store, deep in the heart of a housing project. His neighbors were quite surprised when a clean looking white kid (me) was driving him home after work. He worked the 4 am truck shifts some days, meaning he was having to walk to work in the cold, rain, whatever.

When I found this out, I had to do something about it. I wasn't going to let a kid this good have to endure that any longer. I worked out a deal with him where I bought him a vehicle. He agreed to pay me back in monthly payments. I didn't charge him interest, I just wanted to do a good thing for a guy I highly respected. I cared more about what this guy thought than what my shithead bosses/managers thought.

I got him a cheap sedan, about 100k miles on it. I paid around $5,000 for it. Never once regretted my decision. For all I know, I broke several rules at my company, I don't really know. I also never gave a shit, he deserved it. He's never been late on a single payment, and even though we live in different states now, we still talk all the time.

Just goes to show you looks really don't matter. It's what's in a man's heart that count.

Wow fucking guy does what it takes to get hired, probably lucky to be alive. And you are going to fire him for choosing to leave the streets and be a productive participating member of society. I hope your joking or if your serious and you do fire him i hope he goes back to a life of crime breaks into your house in the middle of the night and blows your brains all over your floor and fucks your wife and kids (sons and daughters).

i agree
but there are lots of variations of tattoos and lots of places t have a tattoo. I think all that impacts the impression you give off in the professional world

ie small tattoo on a woman's wrist or ankle? meh its cute
but a tattoo on a chicks chest, boob, arm? not as inconspicuous in an office setting IMO *(this is all my opinion of course, but also based on my many years of experience in a professional office environment and in management)

outside of a professional office setting, I guess it would depend on the job site, but tattoos are more acceptable other places
 
I'm getting a tattoo of "can I dink" on my ass

you know what's even cuter on a woman?? tits! skip the tattoos and spend the money on a funbag upgrade...no one will hold that against you (hell, it might make you more hireable...real word??) and you'll probably have more fun.
 
I have full sleeves and my back done and i just wear long sleeve button shirt at work. Obviously it all depends on your work and where you live. I live in Los Angeles and I would say 75% of people under 40 have at least one tattoo and I see tons of people with visable tatts on the job here and nobody looks twice. If I lived someplace like Alabama or something Im sure it would be different. I read a recent article that said about 55% of professionals have no problem with it. More people actually have a problem with women with bare legs at work then tattoos
