From the article...Others agree. Of 468 employees who responded to Vault's 2007 tattoo and body-piercing survey, 85 percent said, yes, such body decorations impede a candidate's chance of getting the job, a big jump up from the 19 percent who said that in the 2001 survey.

Sounds like a whole lot of folks have been introduced to the real world since 2001!

I saw a kid yesterday...actually he was probably in his mid 20's...with huge flames tattooed on the back of his neck that wrap around to his face! It's going to be real hard for him to cover that body 'art' when he applies for a job. I won't even consider hiring anyone with visible tattoes or body piercings. It shows a contempt for decent society and an appalling lack of good judgement. Two qualities that I try not to invite into my office.

I would think the business owner has every right to protect their “image” ... whatever it might be. And if tats can’t be covered, then there are consequences. That’s life.
