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

on neck and face no - end of

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

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

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

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

This tbh.

I'm covered, thankfully I work for myself but I'd like to think this day in age that my tattoos wouldn't matter, it's 2018 like. As long as they're tasteful and non-offensive to anybody then I honestly don't see the problem. Jobs that wouldn't allow it aren't the type of jobs I'd apply for anyway probably.

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

No I didn't think so.

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.

You always pick the most exaggerated examples.

Interesting research

https://careers.workopolis.com/advic...tting-the-job/

“Would a candidate having tattoos affect your decision to hire that person?”

Yes. I would be less likely to hire them. 13.85%

Yes. I would be more likely to hire them 0.31%

No. It would not affect my decision. 22.77%

It would depend on the role I was trying to fill. 35.08%

It would depend on how many tattoos and where they were. 28.00%

[smudgie]

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

All fingers and thumbs, wrists and arms.

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

[parmnion]

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