re: Impact of tattoos in a professional environment

Meh, depends what part of the country you are. I work with a high paying finance auditor who had no problem with people seeing his ink on his arm. He came here from the west coast and is smart as fck, so nobody cares.
I have a friend in a high paying position in the northwest with a big firm and lots of his co-workers are tatted up. Of course they are allowed to wear shorts to work too.

Is this because tattoos are unprofessional/trashy, or just coincidence?
Only uptight wannabes in the south worry about this kind of shite.

People with little or no power in the job place try to look for power in other areas. The one place they always have power is over their own bodies. Hence the tattoos.

Several people had tattoos at my last job, and they were all professionals. Granted it was a design firm, but their tattoos were visible and they went to meetings with clients with them visible.

When I see someone with a tattoo, I just assume they are a gangster biker, a guy working in the Merchant Marine, or a Yuppie retarded moron.

I used to have a son, then he got a tattoo. I told him he would have to change his last name and the little shite refused. So I forced the wife and the rest of the children to change ours.

Seems that anyone with a tattoo holds a lower paying/non essential position, and all the important positions are filled by those without one.
Could have a chicken/egg debate here
Are the lower paid employees in their position because they have tattoos, or are the tattoos an indicator or poor judgement and inferior intellect which in turn has them in a lower job because it's all they can handle mentally?

we have some guys with visible tats that work here but they are all back there in the shop

I really don't think it is a big deal. Most people that are smart enough to hold such positions are probably smart enough to not get tattoos they can't cover up.

Not a single person that I work with has visible tattoos. At my previous position there was one person and she was the low man on the totem.
In future jobs it'll probably be the same, as long sleeve shirts are generally required for my line of work.

I work in a very professional office. One of the girls has lots of tattoos and crazy hair. I guess no one cares.
She does her job and we don't deal with the public face to face.

I think it matters maybe in some fields but not others. My father-in-law works in the oil field and has his initials tattooed on his forearm, chains smokes Dorals all day, and wears the same few worn-out pairs of overalls to work and pulls in over 300k a year. They pay him that because he knows his shite and that's what matters.

I have three tattoos... none are visible in work clothing.
I think there is definitely a direct correlation between visible tattoos and level of professionalism and pay.
I mean, I've never been walking through my financial adviser's office and see any face tattoos.

I have 14 and make over 200K, when I was in a corporate office in engineering I just wore long sleeves. Yes I work in the oilfield but as a consultant and in an office.
