Tattoos at work – pinterest.com

So I’ve got a couple of tattoos. And no, I’m not in my 20’s, nor do I work a blue collar, artistic or non-corporate job. I just happen to like them.

According to a 2013 Forbes article, while tattoo policies may vary from office to office, being inked is no longer a threat to employment. Even more traditional corporate, medical and educational fields are surprisingly growing more tolerant of inked employees. And since over 14% of the American population sports tattoos, it’d be hard to segregate anyways…

Besides, unless you’re a hardcore tattoo fan and have inked your entire body, you can always conceal your inked art under clothing. Or tattoo concealment policies at many companies can make you invest in appropriate clothing.

In any case, and although my body art is definitely more on the discrete side, I’d still wait for after hours to show it off…Just sayin’…

Are tattoos OK at work?
