As we all know society is rapidly changing. Things that were frowned up a long time ago are now being seen as normal and acceptable. People are encouraged to express themselves through hobbies, accessories, style, hair, make-up, etc. One of the biggest ways people express themselves is through body art, also known as tattoos.
This is where it becomes slightly complicated. Tattoos are a permanent mark that individuals choose to put on their bodies. Whether its a quote that means something to you or a symbol or date. Some tattoos people are proud of and some tattoos people regret.
However, should body art be accepted in the work place?
Many parents and grandparents will warn your when you are in high school and even elementary school not to get tattoos because you will regret when you are older and what will you do when you try to apply for a job.
Here is my opinion about tattoos. I think they are a great way to show your appreciation to a loved one that may have passed away or has had a huge impact on your life. Tattoos are also a great way to remember hard times in your life that have made you stronger. They could also be a bonding experience between friends or siblings. Doesn't matter the reason that you choose to get your tattoo, just be careful that you get something that you will not regret when you are older.
My rule of thumb is to get a tattoo in a place that can be easily covered, this way when you are older if you decided that you want to become and Accountant, a Human Resource Manager, a Professor, etc. you will be able to cover any tattoos that you may have in case it is in appropriate for the job that you are applying or studying for.
