[nimbus]

i think tattoos could actually be beneficial, especially if it's something impressive like a jacked jesus

Do you think having tattoos affects job opportunities ? I have two tattoos but are not visible with a shirt on . I'm thinking of getting one on my shoulder and bicep but not to sure if I should

depends on the occupation. Yes it can hurt. Heaven forbid you get a neck one, it can get severly limited.

This is esp. true for women. While tats may look HOT on you as a skinny 25 y/o. When you're 45 and your arms are all tatted up and you've gained weight - good luck finding a job. It's already hard enough finding a job, let alone looking like a trailer trash mom. Guys can sometimes get away with it.

do you own a business or are you in a management level position where you are actually in charge of hiring and firing? if not, then sorry...you're opinion (although you're entitled to it) is meaningless.

Society has gotten better at not judging by tattoos, I've been a recruiter in 2 dif companies and tattoos had no play in the recruitment process unless they were offensive or they were in the face (no face/neck tats or face jewelry were allowed there), that being said, there are some careers in which it's just not a good idea to get tattoos that are highly visible, specially healthcare and constant customer interaction positions.

Like Woody said with the gang vs artistic tats, the type of tat makes a difference too, personally I have 2 tattoos, both in places I can cover up fine (pelvis and shoulder blade) I'd never get arm tats or even leg tats because whether I like it or not I will find myself in situations in which people will judge me for it.

Well I'm
Currently a junior in college majoring in nursing .during the spring ill be participating in clinicals & I know they are goin to make us cover any tattoos visible but I'm just curious how much an arm tattoo will effect me career wise. Reading all the opinions idk if I'm going to go through with the tattoo

I'm an ER nurse bro and I work with a few guys that have forearm tats and they have to cover them up with either makeup or a big sweatband. They fucking hate having to do this and the sweatband is hot as shit. I definitely say don't do it. It does look very unprofessional and quite ridiculous.

I think most tats are gay as fuck & I'm in the military.

Lol at some of the arguments people are putting forth to justify their view point in this thread though, quality.
