Would you employ someone who has a tattoo?
 

I waver on this a lot. I obviously know having a tattoo would not impact on how you work and your attitude to work.

If someone had an obvious tattoo I'd ask them to cover it up like they do in airlines e.g. wearing a watch (if on wrist), wearing plasters, long shirts etc...

If they had it on their face I would not hire them.

Well I married someone with a tattoo so I'd surely work with someone who had one :p

on neck and face no - end of

if we are talking about a customer facing role then no to hands either

Yes obviously

Why obviously :suspect:

Tattoos can look scruffy especially when you're trying to make your company look posh

I wouldn't work for such a pretentious company anyway.

Could you imagine Selfridges employing someone with their face and neck full of tattoos?

So you would employ a lad with ACAB on his knuckles or a girl who has "kill gays" on her cheek?

dont be silly

Yes, it's 2018

literally means nothing

Interesting research

Oh, did the OP ask if we would employ someone who has hate speech written on their face?

No I didn't think so.

Of course I would.
It never stopped me getting jobs when I had them.

I don't shop at Selfridges so can't answer that.

pray tell me what tattoo's the op specified?

did you have them or your face, neck or hands?

They didn't. As the question was would a tattoo itself prevent you employing someone.

Not "a tattoo containing offensive words or images".

But you knew that.

that would depend on who deems what offensive


most decent employers would view a tattoo on the neck etc as offensive to their customers and would not employ

Which is an entirely different response to "a woman with a homophobic slur on her face".

:rolleyes:

she would not be employed either

not sure what route you are going here apart from dialling back from saying you would employ someone with a face tattoo?

Dialling back from saying what? I haven't said that.

But you always deflect once you've reached a point of being PROVEN wrong.

I'll leave you to it. :thumbs:

Don't see why not when it has no impact on their job performance. Think most employers would find recruiting good people hard enough without ruling someone out purely on the basis of a tattoo, I really doubt any customers are going to be that put out by it if the person provides great service

What if that person has a big neon sign stuck to their back saying "I Hate Jews" alongside a tattoo of a penis on their cheek?

Yes, they don’t hinder someone’s ability to work so why not? Employers seem to be a lot more snotty about things like that than they assume the general public will be, ive never heard of anyone be offended by a persons tattoos in a workplace, it’s a ridiculous notion imo

Yes of course...saggy earlobes caused by ridiculous piercings, no.
