Every single time I was required to make a hiring decision on a person I found that those with visible tattoos to be unsuitable (for reasons other than the tattoo) and,as a result,they weren’t hired.
So, the tatoo is not the problem. The problem is that they are the type of person that would get a tatoo?
From a Catholic perspective I was taught that there is no reason to change God's own "painting" on His palette, our skin. We have freckles, moles, warts, hair, lines and "beauty marks" on our skin already. Some folks temporarily get rashes, poison oak/ivy and other maladies. Enough already.
With sun tans and sun burns, we further add decoration to our skin. Why add a tat?
My son looks at their teeth if they have to work with the public, most Meth users have bad teeth.
If the Tats are tasteful and not to in your face small ones he will over look it.
I have only 1 a nice Cross that can be covered with a short sleeved shirt.
My mother, as well as her 3 siblings, were all tattooed with their initials on their forearm when very young (5-6 years old).
She always wore a long sleeve blouse.
“A tatoo is a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling.” A grandma somewhere......
“A scar is a tatoo with a much better story......”
And I have plenty of them from head to toe - each with a long story.....
Must have been a decade or so ago.
Tattoos and body piercings are forbidden by the Bible. Really pretty simple that they are pagan practices. The herd effect of tattooing shows how easy people can be pulled into the gutter and call it “art.”
