@packers718 Just turned 20 last week. And right now I’m just doing school. I start my core business classes next year and will be applying for internships then. So far so good.

@lilrog0909 this comment is lol i was promoted at my job from an hourly to supervisor with visible tattoos and i make 20k a year im 21 and in college… im doing fine for myself

@ger7073 people our age are the next generation sir, our generation those graduating college and going to college is computers and alot of technical operations that is my understanding that a visible tattoo isnt a problem and shouldnt be a problem

@HotEntrepreneur damn ur 19 now hows ur job life and hopes doing for ya?

@heyho007 by why could it be a problem? ive worked at a city job and at that time i had visable tattoo’s

please visit my page and watch the video my roommate and i made discussing tis topic. thanks

please visit my page and check out the video my roommate and i made discusiing this topic. thanks

Thankfully, looks aren’t a valid criteria for employment. It shouldn’t matter what someone looks like as long as they do a good job – this applies to tattoos/piercings just as much as it does to race and gender.

It also depends where your work place is at. If you are going to work in the Guitar Business, no harm at all. If it is becoming a lawyer or work with the government, it “could” be a problem.

@ger7073 I understand your older and such and have a little bit of a different morale standard for yourself but if thats the case look at me in the face and not at my tattoos, because is they are so distracting, shouldn’t you not be staring? I mean its only common courtsey to not to stare at one? And yes my job chances have fallen since geting my hand tattoos (just skulls) but ive been through the Army with them and nothing ever came of it until i became a civilian, its just old people..

Fuck tattoos 100% real devil

Fuck tattoos there is nothing cool about them but yeah this is my life and that is yours so but yeah I’ll never let some one work on my company if they have ratios yeah little to far…

@HotEntrepreneur tololololololol

Of course it affects your chances, the question is SHOULD it.
The answer is no.
Tattoos, piercings, hair, etc does not affect your job performance. Piercings will in certain situations- factories with machines that can catch them, etc. Otherwise, they should be legally protected under the EOE guidelines.

@ger7073 quick update for you, just got a new job at the worlds biggest computer company with my sleeves and tunnels, and that there was a number of couple working at IKEA supporting families, inculding my two managers who have both immigrated from England.

funny thing was, my team leader said she was glad I came along because I was a good addition to her tattoo army.

Yeah, you’re just old.

My welfare? A full time salary job at 19 and living independantly?

@antiwarkid This is a very juvenile comment. Picture yourself as an adult with children and setting a high standard for future generations. This “art” is distracting and inappropriate in professional situations. If your goal is to work at McDonalds, fine, but the day that professional employers stop looking at -professional appearances will be a sad day for this country. Please reconsider. I’m only 39, and I have changed a lot since I was 19. Just think about when you’re 59 or 79. Trust me.

@mescalero78 A job at IKEA is one thing, but try raising a family on your IKEA salary. Our country should be striving for higher standards, which starts with how one presents oneself. I honestly don’t understand the attraction, maybe I’m old (at 39), but I think that you might want to take a step back and think about the long term effects of what sounded like a cool idea in your youth. I am honestly thinking about your welfare here, and the welfare of the next generation.

@jacepatrick67 you have to be crazy to think that you are going to be taken seriously as an attorney if you are loaded with visible tattoos. Hopefully you have realized this since your last posting. I find it truly scary that I could potentially be defended by someone with a body full of tattoos. What’s the purpose? Really? Individuality? Who cares about if you are expressing yourself? A professional appearance will serve you much better and set a better example for the next generation.

In the workplace, you will be judged if you have extensive tattoos. I find visible extensive piercings and tattoos disturbing and distracting to look at. I would not hire someone who looks like this. I truly hope that serious young folks with high aspirations and respect for themselves will think twice. Our culture needs to reevaluate this increasingly popular form of ‘expression’, not a good sign for our future. Please think twice.

@L0VE2TROLL If you think thats bragging you obviously have low standards in your life and ‘more importantly’ when you have no degree yourself (I’m assuming) I only told you that info since you wanted to be a smartass. I was setting your facts straight because you were obviously to stupid to realize my original comment was from “2 years” ago and those circumstances no longer applied. And oh by the way asshole it is a BS degree

@HotEntrepreneur majoring in international businessis really unimmpressive… I would think a B.E. or a B.S. would be something you would want to brag about when business majors are pretty much generic crap…

@L0VE2TROLL Awww I remember when I commented on this video. Well now I’m a sophomore in college majoring in international business and when I do have meetings with professors, advisors etc I just wear a bracelet or watch. I do that just in case they are close minded to avoid their preconceived notions.

@AnelyMG thats kind of stupid… what do piercings do for you? I mean the only use I can think of for piercings is that people will be to focused on the piercings to really look at your face.
