It's amazing how humpy tattooed people get when you suggest that their tattoos might

negatively affect their employment prospects. They seem to think that everyone should just magically see their self-mutilation in the same positive light that they do. It never seems to have occurred to them that others might take a negative view and that businesses have a right to consider that when hiring. And when you point out to them that this isn't illegal discrimination, but something employers have a perfect right to do in the same way they can insist on a dress code, they lose their shít completely. :hehe:

I make no bones about it: I would never employ someone with visible tattoos in a customer-facing role. :shrug:

I know, iufg, but I'll hold out as long as I can in defence of decency and proper behaviour.

It's a function of how solipsistic people are today. They don't ever seem to consider that other people might not feel the same way they do because they never bother to think about it.

When I first started work in Finance, our employer wouldn't employ any bloke with earings, and no visible tat's were allowed either in customer facing or not...... times have changed b :-(

Oh, well facial piercings are right out. Not a chance.

Times have changed, p - and not for the better.

At least the tattooed generation's kids will probably abnegate the tat

You'd think that seeing how grotesque their parents (and even grandparents) look would put them off, wouldn't you?
