What Are Job Stopper Tattoos?

[@tyswaffield]

I want my knuckle tattoos fixed but it is almost like I don’t have enough ink on my arms that a studio will book me in. I have not had much trouble with getting work from the tattoo but it would be nice to have it look clean

[@codypratttattoo]

That’s weird that someone won’t tattoo you

[@isaacagius1683]

would you say getting a half sleeve tattoo at 18 will affect me getting a part time job

[@nocturnal_avenue]

I got a few face tattoos and I work at a warehouse. Formerly in body art industry but I'll get to it again soon.

[@roriarguez136]

Hope you plan on staying in the warehouse for a really long time

[@CoreofGreymane]

My first was a hand tattoo, if a job doesn't like it on to the next. If I want a tattoo I'm getting it.

[@roriarguez136]

Stay jobless 🤣👌🏻

@roriarguez136 working full time salary as a manager actually, but okay. Lol

[@ZachKateAda]

@@CoreofGreymaneright on man, most jobs actually don’t care about tattoos. We’ve hired so many people with tattoos and they’re very respectful, hard working, honest and nice to be around. Don’t let others put you down because you have tattoos. They can get fucked 🤟🏻

[@scottrussell2281]

@CoreofGreymane you sir, have the right attitude.

[@NAT-turners-Revenge]

😂.... im a blue collar guy.... 41.... port engineer, railroad industry, logistics etc are the areas. My tattooes are your basic forearms, bicep and legs. Ive got this 22 yo co worker.... no formal education. Recieved on the job training etc. He's been with the company about 2yrs and we're in southern California which overall is a bit more progressive about tattoes. This guy had a few little tats here and there but he goes and gets the entire front of his neck blasted 😅. Like dude..... he doesn't know what direction life will take him. People get fired, resigned, and he's sub contracted for 3yrs. So, its a possibility he may or may not be around next contract

[@bigerichunt9413]

Many employers will fail interviewees with visible tattoos but won't give that as a reason. So if you have visible tattoos and have dipped an interview for reasons that don't appear to make sense then you'll know what the real reason is.

[@aft5264]

I don’t get why employers wouldn’t just turn you away first thing if they had a problem with your tattoos. Why make me sit there and talk and waste my time if you weren’t gonna hire me anyway?

[@bigerichunt9413]

@@aft5264 When interviewing someone for a job the employers have to go through the motions - even if they've made their mind up about a candidate before they've even spoken. A full interview provides the employer with less contentious reasons for rejecting a candidate, such as not having enough relevant experience. Whereas appearance based rejections, such as visible tattoos, are more likely to be appealed.

[@jirizarry95]

I got one visible neck tattoo and it made it super difficult to get a job

[@codypratttattoo]

Aw man, sorry to hear that.

[@NAT-turners-Revenge]

What is it of? Use make up to cover while at work

[@ironmonger554]

Can’t tell if that’s a tattoo needle buzzing in the background or just the audio is fucked 😂

[@codypratttattoo]

Lol yeah, just bad audio on a few of these older videos of mine.

[@Darwin-zn4mh]

I love my tattoos but im only 18 and the only reason i regret them is because of the job part of it, will i get them lasered even if it was offered and free? Thats a hard one because my tattoos are a part of me they tell a story from drug use/abuse to depression to satanism.

[@Signedbydeath]

Lol I got my hands done already. Going for the throat next. I do already have a whole ass arm full of ink. After my throat, gonna do the side of my neck. Do my entire left arm. Then prolly go for the face idk. I hate any job that still look’s down on these tatts. Thank god I’m a creative… people that won’t hire somebody based on ink make me puke…

[@codypratttattoo]

I feel ya. I joined the military when I was young so I still have rules to follow.

@@roriarguez136 even if you’re not the only one saying this, tattoos and piercings don’t affect someone’s work ethic. That’s such a baby boomer mindset…..

[@josephsussex4885]

hands arent really job stoppers tbh . ive got my hands done and ive had no trouble securing work in office environments

[@codypratttattoo]

They definitely are. I’m not trying to say that if you get a “job stopper” tattoo that you absolutely won’t get a job. Times are changing and it’s definitely starting to get easier to get jobs with tattoos. Generally, most tattoos that can’t be easily covered up would be considered “job stoppers.” I’m glad you didn’t have any trouble but I know a lot of people that do have trouble.

[@raymondrembert6870]

@@codypratttattoowhat constitutes a job stopper tattoo at this point is starting to change. Law enforcement and the military have already started relaxing those requirements on hands at least. The fact that their is a critical nationwide teaching shortage specially in urban areas means those standards have relaxed as well

[@roriarguez136]

Yes they are, We are told not to hire people who have hand tattoos. They might not tell you but they tell everyone who does the hiring, In fact if you get something afterwards you will slowly get pushed out of a job. Good luck

[@joelsmith1134]

@@roriarguez136 im very curious to were you work cuz hand tattoos haven't really been job stoppers in many years I've never ran into a issue and i work in banking were you have to be around clients daily neck and face on the other hand is a completely different ball game

[@TheHumanBunkerBuster]

​@roriarguez136 Did they tell you guys why you are not allowed to hire someone with hand tattoos? Related to the work yall do, or just because they personally don't like it and make assumptions? Not being a dick, genuinely curious if places are doing this because they don't like it or if it effects the job in some way. I personally don't have hands or neck. Would like a neck but never do it in fear I even decided to switch careers. Sucks.

[@wherezmemallet4879]

I don’t like to judge but I’ll never get tattoos on my neck and hands definitely not the face. This is why I only have tattoos I can cover and people ask me what’s the point of getting tattoos if no one can see them I just tell them I have my reasons. The only area I’m think about getting tatted is my arm cause thats one area where most job companies don’t care about as long as it isn’t offensive.

[@ZachKateAda]

Will most jobs actually tell you they won’t hire you because of them? No.

[@scottrussell2281]

@ZachKateAda why do you suppose that is?

[@DerKommissar86]

If tattoo artists give someone a job stripper tattoo that hasn’t had pre-existing work, that’s unethical

[@sages101]

Umm excuse me, we're talking about job stoppers, not strippers :^)

[@phish_1]

I don’t know why some people want to ruin their skin! It looks really bad when people sees you have a tattoo! It’s very unprofessional and easy to find by enemies!
