“I quit my corporate job one year ago today to work for myself as a full time photographer, and it’s been the most fulfilling and exciting year ever!”  I will be hosting a free headshot event at our tattoo studio, Golden Tarot Ink Club, and each person will receive 2 headshots.  In one you may choose to cover your tattoos, but in the other headshot you must show off your tattoos! Roll up your sleeves....take off your layers....and show every corporate leader out there that if they are still worried about hair color and ink in the hiring process, they are so far out of touch and I 100% promise they are losing out on top talent employees....and clients! - Amy Edwards, The Tattooed Bride Photography

Visible tattoos are also often seen as an issue in a business environment. So if someone wants to get a tattoo and work in an office, they might need to cover the images on their body with clothes or get them in places that aren’t that visible.  It can really start to feel like you are not being allowed to be yourself, and that your employer only takes notice of how you dress and what hairstyle you have instead of looking at the work you do and the results you bring in.

However, in the past decade, businesses have been loosening their requirements: suits are becoming less of a popular attire, bright hair colors are more acceptable and tattoos are becoming less of a problem.  Disney has even just allowed employees to have tattoos.  The bottom line is that the way someone expresses themself does not define them as a person, nor does it define their work ethic.  What tattoos do demonstrate is a person’s personality, creativity, and non-judgmental thinking.  Covid has brought on a new realism coming from working from zoom in our pajamas is that appearance does not affect performance, and we suspect that having visible tattoos does not affect your capability to perform your roles!
