I just finished my degree in business management and I have a full sleeve. I wouldn't want to work for a company that wouldn't hire someone for their appearances anyway, whatever the salary would be, I wouldn't let myself work for these kind of people. Good thing my focus was entrepreneurship I guess
+Samuel Caron Great to hear!
no wonder you said that cuz you just graduated
@Jorg Blackstone also it shows the company that you waste a lot of money on tattoos
Jorg Blackstone But, having a full sleeve is not wearing flip flops to work. I have many tattoos, including a full sleeve, and i wear a suit and tie every day without anyone suspecting. This new generation is definetely changing the rule of the game, creating more equality, and not being judged for what is in your skin, but in your brain.
hdmat101 rather my employees “waste” money on tattoos then on houses and cars they can’t afford
Well in 2019 that is not an issue anymore when you have men wearing a dress on the job today
lmfao wtf bro where did you see that shit
Bravo! 2020
That's awesome!
FR?? in that case tattoos should not be the even the slightest problem
@@iiCounted-op5jx it really isnt as of this year. its people with colored hair in piercings in most office settings now compared to ten years ago. shit, I've seen hand tats in office settings.
Only 7 years and how things have changed. This advice may as well be from 50s
@Jorg Blackstone I make far more than minimum wage and have tattoos. Fortune 500 companies aren't the only companies that will pay above minimum wage lol
@Jorg Blackstone Also good for you. Like you said, an individual is not any sort of testament to the success of people who have tattoos. I have experience working in both government contracting and business finance and have met a plethora of individuals with visible tattoos who are very succesful. Just because your isolated company for engineering (a fairly small field of work might I add) prohibits persons with tattoos doesn't mean that every company (even engineering companies at that) prohibit them. I've actually personally worked consulting engineers who've had hand tattoos and neck tattoos, even, and they were making over 6 figures a year.
Couldn't agree more! Luckily, the world has changed!
@Kyros - based on my professional experience...it is very outdated. Depending on the country, of course, but in UK for example having tattoos is not a career killer by any means
@Kyros - he's claiming that tattoos or a nose ring can give a wrong impression...i've worked in the most white-collar of places with a stud in my nose and tattoos. Whatever impression it gave, it must have been a good one ;)
Personally I have a full sleeve of ink and yes I do keep them covered with clothing but literally no one rarely finds out I have tats unless I tell them and show or if I happen to run into. Co worker out side of work for social reasons
I work for Citi bank. Yes, I’m not client facing, but it’s still a business casual environment. I’m covered on both arms, and I wear khakis and a polo every day. My manager also has tattoos. I think this really depends on the environment and if the tattoo is actually, for lack of a better word, “graphic” or not. You probably don’t see too many lawyers with neck tattoos, but who’s to say we won’t some day?
all my ink is completely covered by collar/tie and longsleeves. none on hands/neck/face/head. i prefer a stealthy approach.
People who are considering tattoos should wait at least a year to think it over. What sounds like a good idea today might be different years down the road. Also make sure pick the right tattoo artist.
Trevor Tenney great point there!
Temporary tats are a good option
@@HamptonSpears it's a bad option. The fade out unevenly and often leaves some faded ink here and there.
I have an idea, use visible temporary tattoos and look for jobs, don't tell anyone that they're fake, if u end up actually getting hired somewhere after a while of searching that's great! if not just don't get visible tattoos tbh
This question makes no sense . If his or her tattoos are " not visible " i.e. Hidden under clothing then what is the worry ?
I work in a professional international hotel environment ( suit and tie every day ) and Never have any of my numerous tattoos put me in a difficult situation .Why ? Well because it's called knowing how to adapt and keeping what's private private . I am former military and the people who see my tattoos for example during an after work run , take no notice because they know me for the professional image I show . Many of my professional colleagues are Tattooed and likewise it never effects their professional status or clients attitudes towards us because again most of them are intelligent and well dressed and thus know how to remain clean cut without showing what is private . Yes I do agree there are instances where it may be an issue ( life guard etc ) but if you need to ask the question you most probably should never be getting Tattooed in the first place . Rule of thumb to tattoos if you are like myself in suit and tie - Nothing visible past sleeve cuff / Nothing around neckline / never act like you are any different from a non Tattooed person / don't panic if something shows by accident - its 2016 so let your intelligence draw attention away from your tattoos and towards your professional value . It's all very simple if you treat tattoos as a personal thing rather than an image boost ..
I'm planning to work in the banking industry, and I'm going for my first tattoo in a month. I'm just being careful that my tattoos are inoffensive, and can be hidden by a suit.
try the upper arm .
Tattooed or Not! People are always judging you! So it's upto you how you carry them and the Rapport or the environment you build around you, The tattooed people I've come across mostly are the creative one's and yeah there are others who have low self esteem and want to prove they are tough! So it's your take buddy! However my advice before getting a tattoo don't think how much it would cost do your research on the tattoo artist and his previous work and the ink he or she uses! And think of a design or art for a conversation starter! You would have more genuine friends than the Fakers!
I was taught in the Military only get a tattoo you can cover up with your uniform or clothing. I am glad I stuck to this. I have a tattoo on my upper arm of a platoon emblem when I went through basic. It can only be seen when I remove my shirt. So it won't send the wrong messages to anyone. I work in a factory so it really doesn't matter on the shop floor. But for those who want to climb the ladder in the company, it could be a problem. I think it is becoming more acceptable today though.
I have full sleeves with hand tattoos most companies out there see that as offensive or simply rude. I made my own we need to change the view of tatts in the professional business work place it shouldn’t matter how many or where as long as your good at your work
@LensiMS Thank you for saying so - hope you stay tuned.
The Content is outdated like 1995 and needs a new upgrade. it's 2020
It’s wild how this is what people thought 10 years ago now so many people are tatted and most employeers don’t care
lol right
I have knuckle tattoos and I wouldn't work with anyone who has an issue with that.
I have a cross tattoo on my shoulder with a verse from scripture and I have had it for almost a year and a half. Is that really a big deal even though I can cover it up?. I don't see how a cross can be offensive. I do come from a Christian home and I did my research on tattoos before getting it. I did pray about it and I knew this tattoo will represent my relationship with Christ. Is having that tattoo a bad thing later on?. And will it seriously keep me from getting a huge professional job?.
he didnt anwser the question whatsoever and he also said that when you get to know someone and i find they have tattoos you will look at them differently! why its the same person you talked to before everything is on apperance and its really sad
Discrimination against people with tattoos at professional work environments is just as bad as discriminating against people of race religion and color. Some jobs may legit reasons not be able to hire you BUT THATS FEW AND FAR BETWEEN but the ones that say something dumb like "we dont want that image in our job environment" are asking for a discrimination lawsuit. Best thing for businesses to do is not get personal discriminatory feelings involved in a professional atmosphere.
this is the dumbest comment here. there's something called dress code. the color of your skin and questionable life choices are 2 separate things.
@@garrybobbins4789 Nope! Wrong!
@@garrybobbins4789 you would think??? but theres still punks out there that get booty hurt very easily by anything especially tattoos
@@nonyabiz9487 This is a pretty brain-dead analogy. You have no control over your skin color. You do have control over making good or bad life decisions. And if a corporate environment doesn't favor tattoos, it is a stupid decision to get an easily visible tattoo.
@@jdubo1998 To that to the lawyer when they sue your azz sucka
My opinion is I have tattoos on my face neck hands and arms and chest I don't wanna be dying one day and look back at something and I didn't do something I wanted in life all cuz of a job
It comes down to what other people think of you? Wtf the only opinion you should care about is your own. If you don’t like my tattoos or the way I carry myself, then go sit on a stick. If I’m gonna express myself through tattoos then I’m gonna show it off. Not hide it. I’m proud of myself, and if being acceptable means to follow a way of life where you can’t express yourself because of what people might think of you. Then I don’t care to be accepted.
I feel pretty fortunate: Only my forearms are tattooed, very large and solid black ink; and that's the the only part of my body I'm required to show at work (hands and face and neck don't count :P ). On the other hand, I'm working in the caregiving sector, a traditionally female line of work, so I guess the tattoos mark me as a "non-normal male" ... in turn, that might make me seem more appropriate for this kind of tradtionally felmale (or "non-male) line of work, marking meself as "not-normal".
But at the same time, I realise that I shouldn't wear a short-sleeved shirt if I'd ever go to a job interview at a bank or an insurance company :P
"Things that people get in prison". Wow. Talk about prejudice. This belongs to 1940.
I have 16mm gauges in my ear lobes and I have Tattoos as well as my hair dyed rainbow...I’m a senior in high school
Those gauges might be a problem depending on the job. And you’ll grow out of that rainbow hair.
So I have bean thinking of getting a tattoo for at lest 2 years. I'm thinking about getting it on my inside bicep. I think it would be easy to hide and I like the idea of having a tattoo on my arm but i'm a little scared because I am a business major at university right now and I don't really know how the "Real World" of business works. Is this place a good idea or should I pick a new place? Thank you for any advice!
As long as they are not on your lower arms your fine. you don't go to office wearing sleeveless anyways. I work for a prestigious bank and I see clients everyday. I am planning on getting my sec tat on my upper arm next month.
employees seeing tattoos at a casual situation like store or beach can cause problems, especially if satanic or fascist in nature. Tattoos give the impression of rebellion and prisons. Women getting tattoos gives the impression they are less reputable.
@CityStreetShoes Anywhere? Or would you say keep them where they can be hidden by clothing as needed?
I have my neck covered up and have face tattoos and I’m an automotive technician/performance tuner specializing in high end European vehicles
The automotive world always accepted tattoos unless your a car salesman or in a high end dealership. It's part of the trade especially for mechanics drivers ect
So I am planning to get a tattoo of lorn hanuman on my left inside lower arm sleeve so it would be fully exposed if I wear a half sleeve and I have gotten an admit from uni of Adelaide for an MBA can anyone tell whether it would affect my employment prospects in Australia ?
Great videos Antonio - I like your advice and way of thinking.
this is not bad advice actually, a bit old school but none the less great advice
Is it okay to have a minimal tatoo near left thumb area very small tatoo which has a meaning my career is going to be HRM.
Thank you for addressing this subject. Great! Enjoy!
Error....
@miker2209 You are welcome!
Definitely needs to be updated
This is a very great video! I am thinking about getting my first tattoo, and I will definitely keep your advice in mind!
Image is a useful tool for managing perceptions of people who are silly enough to base judgement on outwards appearance. I'm a head office accountant, with tattooed arms and mostly tattooed colleagues. If my tattoos are never visible to you, I am managing my image for you. If I know you and I manage my image for you, I do not respect your intellect. Is this OK?
Let me rephrase what you just said - "I'm a man who is so insecure about his appearance that has to cover himself in order to be accepted by others"- Is this ok?
Little note - that is nothing against you, just a different perspective of what other people may think of your so called "image managing".
i already have tattos on both side of my neck . what can i do?
sir
i really need your opinion
help me.
I would say don`t tattoo face, neck and hands. With forearm tattoos you cant roll up them sleeves in the summer so I would stick to the upper arm above the elbow.
Personally I think if you are worrying about what people are going to think of you then tattoos aren't for you. I'm a woman and have 19 tattoos and I don't give a fuck what anyone thinks of me. I don't live in America and to be honest I haven't have any bad reactions to my tattoos. For you to say tattoos don't look good on women is pretty sexist to say that about a whole gender. Sure some girls have annoying and stereotypical tattoos. But tattoos are a form of art and when I look at them I judge the art not the person wearing it. If someone didn't give me a job because of my tattoos I would be glad, because I wouldn't want to work for them anyway. Just do whatever floats your boat guys, and don't listen to people who try to stop you living your life!
+Blithe Dream well said Blithe!
That's true... maybe this bellend doesn't understand the meaning of tattoos... ART!!!. I DONT KNOW IF TATTOOS WILL BE ACCEPTED IN FUTURE BUT I DONT GIVE A FUCK, I AM STILL GONNA GET THEM BECAUSE I LOVE AND KNOW THE MEANING OF WHAT TATTOOS ARE...
HE WAS BIASED AND SEXIST IN THIS VIDEO, why do you think women can't get tattoos? is there anything wrong with it?
+Iki Boy786 if you watch his channel, you would know he focuses on professional style. visible tattoos are not professional. I love tattoos also and plan on getting many, but I would never get them where they couldn't be covered up with a t-shirt and shorts. my 2cents.
Andrew Leuzzi true that... but tattoos are cool though... ok I understand that you think it's not very professional to have a tattoo, but not everyone's gonna be professional in future... who knows? Maybe tattoos might become one of the requirements when getting a job... it's 21st century mate you never know what's the future gonna be like lol
Andrew Leuzzi jagua ink tattoos are alright if you are only wanting temporary tattoos... whenever you get a break draw tattoos where ever you want and have fun
And remove them before you get to work again...clever,huh?
Completely OUTDATED. I do not think this is useful or accurate at all! It looks like garbage to me.
Swedens Pre finance minister has horsetail, piercing and stil pulls it off. One of our most Famous meteorologist have full sleeves in public service. This video feels like 1950 honestly...
Very well spoken and informative. I completely agree with everything you said.
Metal Jesus thanks!
hi sir..I want to make a tatto on my neck of avicii.. it's Just a decent shape of two triangles of black colour..I just wanted to know that will it create problems for me in business??
@sunnybrett Thank you sir - that's what practice will do for you. Now I just need to cut out my use of "crutch words" and get to the gym 5 times a week vs. 2 :)
Very neutral discussion, as a young guy who has an interest in tattoos, it's great to hear this although I thought about it too, way better than my dad or parents just lecturing this as a no-no, as forbidden fruit always tastes better and just makes me want them more, but I'm picky and want good design so I think I'll wait until later to get tattoos, or at least get non visible ones
its my first year in law school, I am really going to be a good lawyer and take care of career, im 18 and want a widow spider on my forearm, will it be a problem in future? Does it depend on firms itself or just neck and hand tattoos are not acceptable. Ill wear long sleeves and it will be covered but im so scared still. Im so hyped to get a tattoo. Im planning in this week but still not sure about how it will affect my future career so can you give me legal advice ? 😄
9 months later i'm reading this comment, can i get an update, did you get the tattoo? and how has if affected your life.
@@trace4483 I actually got it, now im finishing second year, im so excited i love my tat. Dont think its gonna affect my career in any aspects
Well if your ever arrested and booked theiy will ask and note your tatoos.
You're going to feel the prejudice then.
if i am in a coorporate field. can i get a tattoo then plz reply
Ok what about those of us that used to be completley different and have tattoos on our neck? Now that I do wear a dress shirt everyday it still doesnt cover it all and Im extremely self concious about it. Is there anything someone can recommend? I know theres laser removal, but that just makes them look even more hideous!
+Julian Biffany I have no idea
@ATHThomas Well, there's always the light linen suit for the picnic, if you've got a really embarrassing one to hide :D
I think people being morbidly obese are unprofessional and less appealing then my tattoos, just saying.
Excellent video. I think tattoos can be interesting and express oneself in a positive way while remaining professional all at the same time. I'm still on the fence about getting a tattoo as I'm going to school for architecture (means clients both local and international). I can't see this being an issue as I'd without a doubt be wearing a suit/dress shirt.
As a supervisor involved with hiring people here's how I see it: A (emphasis on "A") tattoo is one thing; if you have a tattoo (or two or three) here and there on your arm, chest, leg, hand or something like that, that's fine. However, if you walk in for a job interview and your arms all the way up to your neck and face look like a page out of a comic book immediately I'm going to think something like "probable ex-convict...run a thorough background check!" Apart from that there's a greater than 90% chance that you've already killed your job prospects looking like that in the first place. I mean think about it; first impressions mean a lot....if you're house hunting and you saw an abandoned decades-old derelict run-down house with weeds and trees covering it up unless you're in the market for a "fixer upper" or was going to flip it would you buy it? I doubt it.
Of course people are free to do what they want but you people need to think twice about getting this crap BEFORE you do it and NOT after! Like a guy I work with says about people who are covered in tattoos from head to toe: "Enjoy a lifetime of minimum wage jobs!"
It's ok, I wear suits every day, but I also have tattoos (and piercings) which nobody would ever see in the professional environment. Most people I work with would not even think I have them. But I don't bring my personal life into my professional life. It's all how you handle it. It's just how you present it.... cuz they're going to figure it out at the company picnic!
Politically correct
I Wanted a small cross on my face lol but I don’t think it’s coming from something negative but visually my physical appearance would make me look like a drug dealer is what most people what would assume and I can’t do it because I need to look professional lol my goal was to get my high school diploma, enter the military and after my contract get face tattoos because I can’t have tattoos in the military so well I was planning on getting it when I got out and well if I get the tattoo I won’t be able to work in this community because of the way people will look at me
lol
I am 17 and will be 18 soon. I am debating on getting a tattoo. I have been thinking and I want one on my thigh. My mom doesn't want me getting one, but she has one on her lower back... the only time my tattoo will show is when i'm in shorts or a bathing suit or something. the tattoo i want has meaning... i'm going to college to be a zoologist and i don't know. what should i do? would it be ok to get one?
Yea go get one save up there expensive. Explore your options on the artist. Trust your artist too.
Alex Austin
idk
Peyton Taylor will you wear shorts to work?
what hv in your mind with your question?u will never get homeless if u hv one,unless you choose to be.so tattoo is just an art.
I got one 2 months ago! :)
Thanks Antonio, I was wondering whether or not to get a tattoo and now I guess I'll spend my money on a sporting coat later on. Thanks for the great video

@gempidge I like it!
Smart.
Little quick story on the professional work place and tattoos. When I first went into the Marine Corps many moons ago on a planet far far away tattoos were great! Everyone was getting them! It was tradition! Than all of a sudden this dorky old fussy pants Commadant came in one day and said "I dont like tatoos." Well than tattoos get real dicey in the Corps all thanks to old General fussy breeches. Like beggin your pardon sir excuse my insolence I beg of you but did you know in all of your infinite wisdom that Marines have been getting tattoos since GOD DAMN 1775 right??!!
@appleglory Thank you sir - it is appreciated!
lol @ the comments where ppl say it's ok to have visible tattoos. if you're working in a fortune500 even a non visible obscene tattoo can tank your career if people find out about it.
Great topic! Personally I think tattoos are unprofessional. You make many valid points.
these are such outdated veiws
I literally feel like im in the 80s right now. Even the white backdrop lmaoooooooooo
not really. I've known white-collar people to lose their jobs over ostentatious tattoos.
@@TomokoAbe_ You cant lose your job when your skillset is the the thing paying you
You might as well just remove the word "collar" from that sentence and its accurate
perception is a major role. A lot of people especially the young get ink and pierced without thinking the whole idea through. A lot of time it's done on a wim. if you would not hang it on your living room wall why would you put it on your body? A full sleeve? sure why not but if it also covers your hand and neck that could pose a problem especially if you work in a white collar world. pierced ears? Sure but nose lip tounge no.
It doesn’t look professional when you hire someone with tattoos regardless how good they are!
Just imagine a President of United States like Biden, Trump, Obama, etc with visible tattoos 😂😂😂
I have a lot of friends with tattoos but i don’t agree with them ruining their skin!
There are jobs though that it is okay to have tattoos like install technicians!
However, the front liners are like models! I know a lot of people who regret putting visible tattoos in their body!
A lot of people don’t value their skin and they just ruined it! Tattoo is an art but it’s very unprofessional it’s visible!
nice video!
Thank you for addressing this important subject. I feel strongly opposed to tattoos in the business place. They are beyond low class, low prole, vulgar, hostile & contemptuous toward society.

I'm a 27 year old male and I find tattoos on women to be very trashy. But it is a blessing in disguise. Just like brightly colored animals are usually venomous, so are females with tattoos. Great way to tell.
