Why do people limit their careers by getting noticeable Tattoos?

Neck, face and hand obviously...everything else comes down what it is. I've got 2 on my forearm, and I've held several positions in 3 different fortune 500 companies...2 of them management roles.

I am a Purchasing Manager at a large oil company and I have a bunch of tattoos. I'm not a Coli millionaire but Im not broke either and I have noticeable tatts. My forearms and my neck tatts are all visible and it aint slowed nothing for me. Honestly my neck tatts not really visible because I wear collar shirts to work but I wear short sleeve Polos regularly and my forearm tatts are definitely visible and I have not had one issue with anyone about them. My actual skills, education, and work experience say more about me than my tatts do.
I would never ever, ever, ever, ever, tatt my face though, then I may have some problems

Unfortunetly the dream of most black people is to work for some big corporation.



Anyways if you plan on going that route if you have the skills and experience the tats wont matter unless its like an obnoxious face tat. Anyways I doubt anyone with a face tat would want a job sitting behind a desk everyday.

Tattoos are still taboo? :pachaha:

My current boss comes into work in flip flops and has a full fukking sleeve... Sometimes he wears short sleeved collard shirts.. If you're on the west coast in a start-up environment tattoos don't really fukking matter...

Basically... come to the west coast if you're a a skilled business talent, a free spirit, and not a lemming...

:childplease: nikka u work at mcdonalds who give a fukk about tats when the only thing u have to ask is "would u like fries with that"

These broads are now starting to get them above their eyebrows :childplease:

Women are naturally followers so if one does it plenty more will start and then it picks up to be the new "it" thing to do :manny:

As for the original topic, yeah my cousin has neck and hand tats.....he just went for a job interview working for the state and is waiting for a "call back" :heh:

Actually a place like McDonalds probably wouldnt be prone to employing people with tattoos seeing as though it is a major corporation that probably stricter rules...

But when you work in business development and consulting for a San Fran start up company that creates online cloud software databases for Private Medical practices, they tend not to care to much... We have a damn pool table and mini-bar in the office. THey dont give a fukk about some damn tattoos. If you're talented and efficient at your job:jawalrus:

You seem mad though... You okay breh? :leon:
