Tattoos in the workplace

tattoos in the workplace
should they still be discriminated against Sup Forums??


personally I support companies rights to grooming and dress code policies & wouldn't hire anyone dumb enough not cover up during the interview process


are tattoos degenerate?

>pic related
people complaining about their terrible life decisions

Clear sign of poor impulse control. Businesses should be allowed to not hire because of them.

Tattoos, A folly for self unaware and damaged people with no forsight....

try criticising tattoos amongst your friends, you see how butthurt these 'rebels' really get, tattoo artists are the easiest cunts to troll....

i agree here's some rage material

I am an employer. I can hire whoever I damn well please.

Other than than the fact that tattoo fags are low-IQ, low impulse control damaged idiots who's identity and personality lies in some ink on their arms, I think that it is gross and unappealing to my customers. You wouldn't hire someone who didn't fix up their hair or clean their face, why would you hire on of these people?

I'm tempted to weigh in on cuckbook but I know it probably won't be worth the backlash

i dont care about people having tats in general, & I've dated plenty of women with them (and without)

but even at a fast food joint I am still repulsed by any tattoos that are visible while they are working

at a bank I would ask to see a different associate, at a hospital a different doctor, at a school I'd request a different teacher for my kids

am i an asshole?

Come on, it's 2016. All those old people who care about brushing your teeth are dead. Get with the times.

>be a baby
>draw over myselfor with markers
>mother makes this clear it's unacceptable
>somehow it's OK when you're an adult

I'm happy to see them. They're a flag that the person in question is a dipshit and not to be trusted

Looking around at the crowds playing Pokemon GO it's shocking how many overweight women chose the EXACT. SAME. hair coloring to appear unique.

>tfw im 23
>tfw using my PM's arguments

What tattoos do you have?

Care to show the class your SICK INK

>mfw it's 2019 & America has passed new ammendments protecting tattoos as a form of freedom of speech +companies are no longer allowed to enforce their company policies

>more people have tattoos than not

This isn't true right?

Why do you people care about what other people do to their skin? inb4 degeneracy, that really doesn't say anything

it's getting to that point & I'm glad I decided against visible tats in the past


the latest survey I read for America is somewhere around 47% have them

Because if you own a business you care about how your employees are presented.

I know a tattoo artist with face and neck tattoos
he acknowledges its not for everyone
I think he's back in prison last I heard

So an employee is instantly less productive if he has tatoos?

you should be able to hire or fire anyone you want for any reason if you own a business.

I have my blood type tattooed on my chest. Not sure if I'll ever get another one.

That said, employers should be able to discriminate based on anything. Tattoos, appearance, race, sex, whatever. If you don't like it, go elsewhere. He doesn't owe you a job, and you don't owe him your labor.

is that really what you got out of that sentence? really?

This man could be the hardest, most diligent worker there is, but that doesn't mean he should be working in an ice cream shop.

Haha , you are stupid.

No I understand what you're saying, but why do they care? Do tattoos offend people?

As long as they don't hate tattoos from the neck up or below the wrist I don't see a problem. They can be covered up if need be. Any company that has a policy on visible tattoos is probably white collar with a dress code. With most blue collar jobs tattoos don't matter. Unless you have a swastika on your face or some shit like that.

*have

Most STEM corporations dont give a shit. They just want smart people.

I intern at Brookhaven and have a sleeve. No one gives a shit.

Does your job require you to interact with the public regularly?

"tattoos" impact my customers so yes, potentially they are less productive as they dampen business +more importantly they effect my customers perception of my establishment

It is only degenerate when you are jewish and want to be buried in a jewish cemetery. Just because the Chad who stole and fucked your g/f had a tattoo does not mean there is anything wrong with having one.

I'd buy ice cream from him.
Who gives a shit.
Hell no.
Who gives a shit. Half the people in the military have tattoos by the end of their time, they seem pretty disciplined.
Obviously there is a limit, like having "fuck bitches get money" tattooed where your eyebrows used to be or some stupid shit like that.

Confirmed for working retail. If you worked in a business where suits where required most tattoos would be covered up. If you worked manual labor jobs like plumbing or auto body shops than customers already see you as dirty service pleb so they dont care. You must be a manager at McDonalds were T-shirts are the standard work uniform. Even then Tyrone and his niglets getting them chicken nuggets dont fucking care.

Its not about productivity, its about image, generally people view other people with many visible tatoos as less trsutworthy.

Do you have tattoos? Because your self-centered tendencies are clear. Just because you would doesn't mean every person everywhere would.

i got some tats when i was in my late teens and very early 20s. i wouldnt do it today.

it may be degeneracy and a stupid thing to do. simply because its so trendy now it is more acceptable to employers.

i can understand a young guy in the military getting something military related like his particular group logo or even a fucking anchor like popeye but other shit i find to be a stupid idea.

as i said, if i didnt have tattoos today at 35 i most definitely not get one. i also wish i never got the ones i currently have.

Disgusting inkfags should all be banned from Sup Forums.

Who cares
But this i despise

i dont mind the tats especially military related,
however the complaining about having to keep them covered (it's too hot, why am I getting discriminated against, my tattoos are different than everyone else's, ect)

>poor fag detected
not Jewish, and plan on getting cremated
none of my girls have ever cheated on me
the issue I have w/ tats is most people get terrible ink done

Usually I don't give a shit if someone has a tattoo, whatever it is; they don't get any attention from me.

Though I was taken aback when I was served at a bank by a teller who had tattooed knuckles a while ago. It just seemed inappropriate.

No one besides other professors and students.

But that's what I said, most STEM companies don't care at all what you do to yourself if you prove your worth.

I and my co-workers are expected to dress in a professional manner because clients visit the shop and are shown around to all the different departments to get a look and feel of how productive we are. The dress code is strict and screams ‘hive mind’; but that’s exactly what is wanted. Somebody with tattoos is breaking the mould and look desynced from the rest of us–so they’re likely to act desynced too.

>already see you as dirty service pleb so they dont care

hahaha you stupid buffoon. it's the exact opposite. Any preconceptions will just enhance negative opinions of shit like tattoos and piercings, especially if they are in your house.

IF I see a nigger, I'm worried. If I see a nigger with a gun I don't think "oh i'm already worried he's a nigger so the logical assumption is that he has an open carry license"

Sorry tribal tattoo Chad fucked your g/f.

You know Jews are the only ones who make it a sin to have a tattoo right? You know vikings and other ancient cultures would have tattoos?

Basically you are following Jewish morality like a good goy.

What I see when I see someone with tatts:

>degenerate
>idiot
>lacks forethought
>probably smokes pot
>probably has children out of wedlock

I'm a business owner faggot
i interact with people on a daily basis &
need a happy customer base to continue

literally this, it's beyond unprofessional

I worked as a plumber you dumb nigger and went to rich areas fixing sewer lines and shit. THEY DID NOT FUCKING CARE. Quit making assumptions goy this aint 1950s no one cares unless you have a tattoo of a dude banging a dog no one gives a shit.

If you are a business owner than make your uniform requirement long sleeve and or make them wear a sports jacket problem fucking solved. You are out of touch dude.

they were too fucking polite to let you in on the fact that they judged your ass up and down from the moment you arrived to days after you left

you're not fooling anyone but yourself and it's honestly a bit sad to me.

>Comparing a nigger with a gun to a middle class white dude with a tattoo

OH fucking man you just admitted you are scared of people with tattoos. So you are beta weakling then?

Call me what you want but at least I can properly understand a comparison without throwing a fit that they aren't identical.

Way to ignore the point and attack the delivery system, maybe you can be the world's first inked supreme court judge

>inkfag thinks people are going to present him with a written letter stating their discontent with his markings

They don't say anything because part of the preconception is that you get incredibly asshurt when it's brought up that your permanent cartoons you paid for might have been a poor career choice.

As you are doing now.

>I know what everyone is thinking

You a psychic now bitch? You have no clout to your argument you let your irrational hatred of a benign thing influence your argument this is why you're wrong.

>and too be successful
Good luck to her, she'll need it.

Yes
These stupid cunts should learn from their mistakes not be catered to like the children they are

>Poor career choice

You have any idea how much plumbers make you dipshit?

Here we go with the Sup Forums meme of everyone being an engineer making 100k a year.

I dont have a tattoo because of the simple fact that any dumb cunt with 100 bucks can get one. It's almost like the norm has flipped and not having one is the statement of non conformity

>Interview to become a cook
>During the interview, the recruiter got mad
>He said I couldn't put my balls in his glass of water
>Wow, way to discriminate against people who like to put their balls in other people's stuff
>I don't see how it would stop me from doing my work
>Went to complain on Cuckbook
>Everybody's balls clapped
Force employers to hire people who put their ballsacks in other people's belonging 2016!

I work in a machine shop so no one gives a fuck about tattoos. It's a nice environment to work in; some degeneracy like people putting porn on their machines but overall it's great not having to watch what you say. It's an acceptable trade-off.

Nice reading comprehension. The tats are a bad career choice, not the job. Man, no wonder you're such an angsty fuck, literacy must bring you constant stress.

I guess that explains the need to express yourself via the 'permanent cartoons' the other user phrased it as.

This was annoying but you've made it amusing again, thanks!

careful, the inkfag doesn't understand analogies because they contain differences from reality

maybe try printing an image that conveys your message on your thigh and show it to him, this may be the only way we can communicate

underrated post

You're an ass, but at least you're a funny one

If a person is willing to get tattoos at all in the first place, it shows they make terrible lifestyle choices and are more likely to act on spur of the moment impulses than think things through.

Also the special snowflake mentality that comes with most of these people is not one youd want in the workforce. You dont want people forsaking rules to be unique, or company policies.

Chances are, person in question isnt getting a tattoo because theyre military grieving for fallen brothers nor a cultural symbol. Theyre doing it for attention.

Its the same thing with women and dyed hair (aposematism). Not all women with dyed hair are crazy, but all crazy people have died hair. Same thing with stupid people and tattoos.

You said >poor career choice
and did not have a context for that statement so I assumed you meant my actual career.

And you are the dumbfuck asshurt because people have tattoos to the point were you shitpost and threads and discuss your irrational hatred for such. Tattoos been around since neanderthals this is not some recent trend you fucknuts. Otsi the iceman (who was found in the alps) had tattoos. You are calling something degenerate that has been a practice for thousands of years just because some people in the 1950s thought it was so. In fact the only religion who says tattoos are a sin is Judaism so you admit you ascribe to Jewish morality which makes you a leaf kike my advice is to kys.

Your analogy was a shitty one.

Life is too short to not get a tattoo.

But you need to be able to pull it off. It's a fashion item. And there's literally nothing wrong with trying to look cool.

>all these butthurt fags in this tread

confirmed shitposting basement dwellers

literally this, hipsters are killing themselves en masse

This is nonsensical. Fashions by definition change over time and you're getting something semi-permanent on your body. This is not even considering the fact the tattoo degrades in quality over time with your skin.

Degenerate. You can do whatever you want but it doesn't equate to everyone else having to accept it.

Fashion has always a common element though the people were clothes. As I posted tattoos existed long before your grandpa decided to fuck a pig which begat your mother, Tattoos can be a common element in fashion it is just designs that become trendy. Like tribal tattoos were in the late 90s and early 2000s.

>it degrades
Yeah when you're like 65 and your life is pretty much over.
>fashion changes
lol

It's an extension of your identity. Your problem if you're too square to comprehend this.

So what do you do if you have a particular design of hat surgically grafted to your skull and it goes out of fashion because it's not the 90's anymore? Especially if that trend is considered gauche today when it was one trendy?

>Confirmed not having a real argument

Fuck off kike you can go get buried in a Juden cemetery now and appease your Jewish god.

Everyone in this thread saying tattoos are degenerate are kikes trying to shill. I heard there is a lot of money in Jewish cemetery gotta make sure there are plenty of "clean" tattoo free bodies to fill up them graves,

>It's an extension of your identity.

I like strawberry ice cream. If I'm in a conversation with someone I can discuss this fact with them. What purpose does it serve me to put a strawberry ice cream cone on my arm so people standing in line at the bank with me can see it? I'm not that insecure that I need to constantly reinforce my own identity.

I submit your refusal to accept differing opinions on this as viable as a sign of your further insecurity.

Never said anything about face tattoos that is the only agreement I have with you fuckers. Tattoos on the head or hands are stupid. Forearm, shoulders, chest, back, thighs, calfs are acceptable because you can cover it up if you wish. If you wore a business suit all your tattoos would be covered up and none would be the wiser.

I worked plenty of jobs were no one knew I had a tattoo until I came in to work one day to visit with a t-shirt on.

Leave your baseball hat at home the next time you leave the house then you stupid faggot.

>You said

So we can't even differentiate colors apart now? I don't expect you to compare the ID's in the same way you compare two sides of an analogy or comparison, but i figured you'd be able to look and see that one is green and one is blue.

And he said:
>your permanent cartoons you paid for might have been a poor career choice

And as for your last little whinefest, I just responded to you originally because you were assuming that the polite people you SERVE are going to alert you if they have a problem with your shit.

Sorry it took so long to respond, but not marking my body allowed me to open my own business I can freely shitpost from like the 'leaf kike' i am, and I was busy with customers just now.

>any self respecting individual without tattoos must be jewish

wew lad

Only if they don't cover them. It presents a poor image of the company.

>I'm not that insecure that I need to constantly reinforce my own identity.

Stop wearing clothes then dont workout stop listening to music, stop having a political opinion, in fact dont have an opinion, etc. Be a good little expressionless robot because you are not insecure to reinforce your identity.

You can take off a baseball cap at any given second. It takes a lot of money and lasers to take off tattoos. Why weren't you killed during a genocide?

I figured it out guys

He's a manlet as well as inked. The only possible source of such impotent rage.

I literally just proved to you that your ancestors had tattoos and the only ones who wear sneering at them were Jews. It was the Jews who told people tattoos are degenerate and here you are now a hundred years later spewing Jewish propaganda.

No, I have tattoos and I study medicine, none that are visible without me being shirtless. I would never allow a doctor with visible tattoos

Work me and outside me is different, if these cunts can't be civil and hide their shit they don't deserve white collar jobs.

HAHAHAHA I am 6'2 nice try faggot

Only one of my tattoos is visible bitch and that is only during the summer. Tattoos are for my own benefit could care less what fags like you think.

He must be miserable when he has a cold or a runny nose.

A fat naked robot?

It is a sin in islam as well

freedom of association applies to employers

>extension of your identity
What kind of tattoos you have? Pics?

Are you emotionally incapable of knowing the difference between having an opinion and being in the process of expressing it?

Tattooless and I give zero fucks except if it's a sloppy/cringy design. But even then I wouldn't judge it more than a unflattering haircut.
There are bigger fish to fry.

The portraits are beautiful user but the military stuff has awful perspective, I'd get those retouched

>can't read
>can't tell the difference between blue and red
>can't understand people hide their distaste with someone until that person is no longer present
>can't handle analogies/comparisons
>can't click on the right post to reply to

This guy is a riot

If you do not like expressing yourself then stop doing in now and turn off your computer and go back to bed.

I wouldn't hire someone with facial or neck tattoos.

I own a restaurant.
It depend what the job is and the qualifications of the guy I hire.
If it's something where he doesn't see any customers I don't really care as long as he is competent.
I don't mind beard or long hair as long at they have good hygiene and keep it clean, no muslim beard shit tho.
