Your views on tattoos and wether they affect your workload.

Well.....it's that time again where the hankering for another tattoo hath cometh.
I've always tried to keep away from ink that's going to be on display I.e forearm's neck etc but nowadays I'm seeing loads of customers with sleeves, women also with sleeves and hand tattoo's so maybe it's become more socially acceptable to have tattoo's on show now?
Do any of you guys have tattoo's on hands arms necks etc and do you think it has ever caused you to lose a job because of the appearance and the custard getting the impression your a yakuza thug. I've always wanted a full sleeve but held back for fear of being perceived as some brute cowboy lol.

It`s a marmite thing, love them or hate them, personally I hate them.

I have a sleeve that goes slightly up onto my neck. As far as I can tell I've never lost a job as a result. I get far more compliments over my punctuality, politeness and professionalism. I would never never get something on my face or my knuckles but I love tats and will get more

I have a couple but covered by sleeves, am not keen on the Beckham look myself. I remember years back a women got the sack from mcd's for having lower arm tatts

I know a very good Electritian. Polite, neat professional and tidy. Has tattoos on his arms and neck . He packed in with the company he was working for and applied for a job for my mates electrical company.
My mate wouldn't give him a job, for fear he might offend customers.
I know it's not right, but that's his view.

I know it comes down to the individual customer but I've worked for young and old, rich and poor and posh and rough and no one has ever batted an eyelid. I know several old boys that are ex services and have regiment tats and ones from their travels and these guys never struggle for work. If someone is gonna judge my work on my tats then I'm not convinced I wanna work for them. As I say though, the situation has never arisen to date. My tats are fairly non imposing and certainly aren't rude or some buxom bird on show

I think times have changed, tattoos used to give a thuggish impression. Nowadays they are the norm, not everyone will like them but the perceived image is now completely different to what it was. If you want more then go for it.
