What about tattoos is "unprofessional"

[Vuitton Vampire]

Everytime I ask this question to some IRL they just say "oh well I PERSONALLY dont like tattoos", or they avoid the actual question. Im sorry but just because YOU dont like what other people do with their bodies doesnt make it "unprofessional". I could say "velcro shoes arent professional" and literally no one would care about my opinion... but tattoos OH GOD SUSAN HIDE THE KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!

I would like to keep this thread clean, I dont want a huge argument but what about tattoos is "unprofessional" other than inappropriate tats like getting a tat of a middle finger etc etc.

This is why I initially said it's a stupid statement. There was no context given.
There are many different professions out there. One of them is tattoo artist.

They get associated with thugs, and are intimidating if they don't look stupid. Say what you will about what is actualy the case, those are the effects they have, and those are things business' don't like having associated with their employees.

I don't see the appeal myself but I don't care what other people do if it doesn't hurt anyone else.

Theres alot about a person that can be intimidating. Simply huge buff men can be initimidating. Simply just looking at someone wrong can be taken as intimidation.

I see what you are saying though, but just seems silly.

I mean... if you're hiring a nurse who's going to have to deal with ill, vulnerable people. would you hire someone who's fully tattooed on their arms and neck? A person's appearance does matter for any job where you'd be face-to-face with your "clients".

Uhm yeah? Being a doctor or nurse takes alot of schooling, if someone has dedicated the better part of their life to save other people and they are covered in tattoos I wouldnt think any less of them. If they meet all the requirments, then yes I would hire them. Usually nurses are covered anyway.

IMO i dont like any tattoos, they look trashy and just cloud an area of your body.

What about a tattoo for a mother who had to undergo a C Section? or a tattoo over a scar in general? Couldnt that possibly be a great thing for someone?

I haven't actually cared about tattoos.. so good question.

I used to know these pillocks when I was in school who had tattooed names on their body, words tattooed across their knuckles and dolphins tattooed on their lowerback/ankles.

I don't think I've actually seen a beautiful tattoo before (excluding TV) it's probably more of an American thing.

I have never seen a business man with a tattoo.
I do have seen plenty of crimenels with tattoo's.

i personally find tattoos a great way to express one self, even if i didn't. even if somebody else didnt. who cares, it's your body. you do what you want, youre in charge of your own being. if anybody says otherwise tell them to shove it and go have boring sex with their boring wife they hate. Also you seem like a cool dude, add me ;)

that's because youre thinking of a conservative buissness man with his boring desk job for the government. many jobs have people with tattoos, theyre just not viewed as REAL jobs from people like you. from garbage collector to hair dresser to clothes sales person to people who work with food. a job doesnt depict a person's moral's ethics or fashion taste or tattoos. the problem with how you view tattoos is based on how you view people not on tattoos.

man everyone here seems very narrow minded on this topic
isn't it really obvious what makes even normal tattoos unprofessional looking

But the difrence in the jobs pretty big.
Like, i have never seen a manager have a tattoo, or a docter, or pilot. etc.
This is just me thinking but i think that in general most people with tattoos are not well educated.
No doupt they are probebly nice persons who are happy and such, but i do think that people with tattoo's dont want or cant get a good education. (But thats just ME thinking)

I have a friend who's a manager at her bank, she went to college, top of her class in like 5 different things. smartest person i know, not that it matters but an IQ of like 150, and she has a full tattoo sleeve on both arms. my mother is a really smart person and she has tattoos, she went to college and did really well. my father same thing, many of my friends. so idk if this is the part where you say you were wrong orrr..

My boss has tattoos and makes well over 6 figures a year, hes retiring in 2 years and has millions saved up.. not to mention stocks.
