 |

So to all the tattooed people out there....how are your experiences with being tattooed in the workplace? I work in the definition of corporate America and find tattoos to be far and wide (as much as I can see). I have ran into a few people with visible work but usually they "get away with it" due to insane skill at their job. I once met an administrator with a panther smack across his throat!
I understand from many conversations I've had with the people I work with that tattoos are considered "bad" or "poor decisions", and I usually defend the nameless tattooed people that are commented on while in such a conversation.. This being said, I will not stop my dream of being covered, (to hell what they say!). I can do my job regardless with what my body looks like... I just am waiting for the day when someone makes a comment such as mentioned before and I can just lift a pant leg or roll a sleeve up and say..."so, am I a 'bad person' as well?"

| Unless you are 100% sure you have an established career for the rest of your life i would recommend staying away from neck, head, finger, hand tattoos as to this day there is still a lot of judgemental people out there. Myself I am 23 and and as much as i wanted a full sleeve i went with 3/4 because even a long sleeve shirt can show a little ink if you hacve a full sleeve. As far as acceptance depends on where live and what you do for work. In Southern California tattoo's are accepted in a lot of places. I know this because a know quiet a few people who make well over 100k and have full sleeves and some even have neck tattoo's. I don't know about other states though. |

Don't get tattoos you cant cover with pants and a long sleeve button down shirt. Pretty simple really. Theres a 99.9% chance you're not getting 100k/yr the job with a neck tattoo.
