Neck or face tattoo's

Specialun

Im not for or against tattoo's but i do wonder if these tattoo's affect the persons career opportunities. If i was hiring for a job which is customer facing i dont know if i would hire somebody with v visable tattoo's. I know its illegal to discriminatate but it would be impossible to prove

Have you have these tattoos. Do you think they affect career prospects or is the world more accepting now.

Little known fact; Steve Jobs had neck tattoos, tons of them.

He was a bit of a wanker in fairness.

A bit?

It affects.

I worked for a company that would turn you away on first sight for visible tattoo's.

Not mention, they looks pretty foolish on most people.
If you're not a bad ass already, tattoo's don't make you one.
They merely enhance the effect if you are already a proprietor of bad ass'ery.

That being said, I wanted to get UV tattoo on my forehead.

The artist wouldn't do it.

There's a construction worker working across the road from my place of work, and he has a hideous looking tattoo going from above his eyebrow down to his neck. F@&king hideous looking

its illegal to discriminate on certain grounds, tattoos arnt one of them

i think the world is more accepting now but still a face tattoo is making a pretty bold statement.

i have four tattoos none are visable at work. i dont have to try to keep them covered their just hidden..

Speaking of Mike Tysons tattoo...I know a lad who has been on dole since he left school nearly 20 years ago ...so the social welfare started making him go for job interviews...what does this chap do only go get a tattoo just like Tysons and a group of stars running down other side of face all the way down to his neck 😯
Now he was rough looking before the tattoos but holy **** he looks some muppet now... Absolute gob****e.. Needless to say he got no job offers..
He is very proud he got one over on the social..

Saw a lad in the airport recently with a solid black Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle face mask tattooed across his eyes, all the way around his shaved head with the ribbons tied on the back and all.

What was going on when he decided that was a good life-choice.

Personally, I think Neck tattoos are poxy looking, but each to their own

As someone who has plenty of tattoos I just don't think getting them on the face is a good idea. Only profession it would be acceptable is being a tattooist but then again having a tattoo on your face shouldn't define who you are as a person. Being judged on tattoos is wrong. It's like judging everyone who is Muslim by the bad ones.

Don't like tattoos anyway and have seen some people absolutely destroy themselves with them, but getting your face/neck done is a new height of stupidity IMO

No matter how cool or expressing-your-right-to-do-whatever-you-want-to-your-body you think you're being, most people in the working world (especially client facing roles) will have an issue with it.
Alas there are many who think their own sense of righteousness trumps societal norms and expectations but these people usually get a rude awakening and then cry about discrimination etc.

It's life.. get over it and don't put yourself at an unnecessary disadvantage - especially if you have other depending on you like kids/family.

The Professor Green-style script neck tattoo is so overdone now that I do cringe when I see it due to the unoriginality.

I've never seen someone with a face tatt in person.

Would reputable tattoo artists actually do a face tattoo on a client?

I wouldn't. No faces, no hands, no side/front of the neck*. I have passed up a great deal of money by being unwilling to tattoo the fingers of middle class women 18-30.

*I have been known to do it on friends, especially tattoo artist friends. Or on clients over 30 with heavy coverage. But still no faces.

Its really not, if a tattoo artist knows that face tattoos end up looking **** on everyone who gets them, no matter how much the client wants them then Im sure they wouldnt operate on them. Could risk getting bad reviews or bad press about their business because of the client and losing out in the long run.

I suppose, as utterly stupid as it is, there is a certain faulty logic in a facial tattoo. Tattoos would have been for a long, long time a relatively rare thing to see on a person; to have one at all was a bit of statement. Nowadays though, they're so commonplace that their presence on someone's arm almost signifys nothing - at least at first glance.

So obviously some, deranged, individuals feel that the only way they can make that same impact of a statement, for these louder and vulgar times, that even a teeny-weeny swallow on the hand tat would have achieved back in the day, is to fully commit to plastering some permanent ink on their faces.

I wish the tattooist who done my finger told me not to. I've had it done 4 times as it still won't hold the ink after 2 weeks starts to fade

Unless its a swastika or something like that Employers don't own your body.

Unless you are a rugby player from new zealand i think any face tattoo looks
awful, the serial killer ,gangster look , its not exactly friendly .

I used to do the interviewing for a hotel, didn't mind neck tattoos as most get covered by the high neck shirts.
But I wouldn't hire anyone with hand tattoos, something about a persons tattooed hand serving your food or drink doesn't appeal to me.
Face tattoo would have been a very short interview and a F.O.

Thanks.

It's their choice who they hire.

See the problem with people that do have face,neck etc tattos is that they have very little coverage yet get a huge tattoo on their face/neck.The tattooists responsible for that.They really shouldnt do faces or necks on someone with little or no ink.

Personally I would have my face or neck tattooed if I was in a position that I didnt have to work again say I won the lottery.

Its like people who get 2 or 3 metal nose piercing,s ,people who get face tattoos, basically will never get a job dealing with the public, unless its
being a bouncer,security staff, wrestler,being in a rock band,
its worse than any hairstyle or body tatoo, as those can be changed or hidden.
face tatoos is really 2016.s version of a punk ,skinhead haircut .
Its not attractive to most people or maybe can frightening to some people .
i don,t understand it ,is there any man who looks more attractive with large neck tatoos .
I presume its a form of rebellion ,like punks used to wear clothes, with swaztika,s on them.

Guys, you are aware that you probably deal every day with people who do have face tattoos?
Permanent make-uo is just that, tattoo. Eyebrows, eye liner, permanent lipstick.
Same goes for people who get freckles tattooed on their nose and cheeks.

Just wanted to mention that, for a bit of balance.

Not if its discrimination.

There is no law against discrimination for
tattoos. There are laws for discrimination against black people.
Silly example to be fair.
