Do Tattoos Interfere With Finding A Job?

By karitoog September 24, 2020 42 answers Last updated September 24, 2020

Hello, I have a problem, I want to get a tattoo on my arm and next year I will apply for medicine. I'm afraid that because of the tattoo I may not be hired when I graduate. Do you think that can stop me?

   Why do you want a tattoo? To be another sheep from a whole flock disfigured? If you want a normal, prestigious job, be yourself, real, natural!

   You don't have to show it at the interview. Now almost everyone has tattoos and I don't think that would be a problem. However, get a tattoo so that it is not visible with long sleeves. I am a woman, I have a sleeve on one arm, I work in a state-owned enterprise and no one has told me anything, although in the summer I sometimes have to wear uniforms that include a short-sleeved shirt.

   Have you seen a doctor with a tattoo? This is a serious and conservative profession. Among the popular tattoos are artists, athletes, playmates, people from the underworld. Medicine is a cosmic distance from them.

   What kind of question should this be? !! Of course they will interfere. People who get tattoos are irresponsible, they don't think they won't hire them because of the tattoo. And even if it is removed, it will remain a scar.

   There are a number of professions that limit visible tattoos. There are also countries where tattoos are not looked upon favorably because they are a trademark of a certain stratum of people. There are also places where tattoos are not allowed at all ... (Public hammam in Japan, for example)

   If they are very ugly (there are many with such), carelessly made (there are many many people with such) and in prominent places of representative work they will not take you. Yes, maybe in the office of IT work or architectural things, but in banks, financial institutions, government institutions - no way. Don't look at the cops with tattoos - they're there with ties. Especially if we are talking about the system of the Ministry of Interior there, if you do not have connections, you may not reach some of the acceptance phases at all for distinctive marks, beams and other things. For medicine - a lot depends. Everything is very relative. Some may generalize your case with themselves by saying that they have tattoos, but work in a hospital, but they may not take you because, for example, you put it on your neck and it looks pandizchiiski. I work in an IT company and in the office we have not one or two people, but also young girls with tattoos, but theirs are small, or occasionally invisible, or well made. If you go with a tattoo at the age of 20, faded, like the masters of construction from the barracks for a long time where they smear stains ... they will not take you anywhere ... except for construction :). Keep in mind that many of the people who will be your bosses, especially in medicine, are from the older generations, not from the past, but from the older generation. Which is not known with what understandings they are. And how they will accept you. There are many factors. Sometimes a person may have a tattoo in a visible place, but technical competencies and personal qualities prevail and make that tattoo laugh. except under construction :).

   They interfere and how! You won't be 18 forever, and the tattoo stays forever. I personally would not trust a 40-year-old doctor with a dragon in his hand. Having shown such irresponsibility towards myself, how can I entrust my life to him? Don't do nonsense!

   Tattoos come from prison circles and uncivilized tribes. He decides for himself what level you have to be to follow this stupid trend and think it's cool. And this will answer your question how they would look at you in serious circles such as doctors and your intelligent patients. In principle, a tattoo is not a sign of intelligence. See which people get tattooed and which don't and find the ten differences.

Next to you, author, I have a tattoo on my neck and I work as a manager in a huge prestigious company where I will not name it for security reasons. Everyone decides for themselves and come on, please, without lower definitions for the tauned!

emmitaa_ answered · September 26, 2020

   Basically, they won't bother you that much, unless they're huge and annoying. For example, if you are applying for a job but have two sleeves on your hands, you have to be much better than all other job applicants in order to be considered as an option at all, let alone for something more. I myself do not like tattoos at all and I do not have them, but in my work I have colleagues with tattoos, some of which are full sleeves, so obviously this is not such a problem, but in any case for more conservative professions it is good not to have visible tattoos, or they are very small. Well, here we exclude tattoos that are compromising against you, wherever they are, and whatever size they have the type of a broken cross, or another Nazi symbol, some skulls and the like, or inscriptions like Only God can judge me .

   If you care so much about a dumb tattoo, make it in a place where you won't be seen in uniform and don't think about it. Well, you will not constantly earn the reverence of the sheep in our country, but you will not wonder whether they will take you or not! Unless you want a tattoo to make you happy and to be the big deal among the bad stuff. If so, save yourself the trouble! There will always be someone with a better tattoo or just a more popular one. You can't always be number one - no one can! If it's just for you, it doesn't bother you that you won't show it to the whole world, does it?

   Number 11 How do you differ from the herd when you have a tattoo? !! At the moment where I study I am 10th grade and there is one class where half of them have at least one tattoo, and this is not in the neighborhood, but in a "prestigious high school"!

oceanteam answered · September 27, 2020

   Yes, for certain professions they interfere. Even more so for a doctor. So, think very well before that. Do as you wish, but keep it in a place where you can't be seen when you're dressed. For example on the back. If you want to tattoo your whole back, at least there is always a garment there.

guaje7villa answered · September 28, 2020

   I personally don't like tattoos! When I see someone with tattoos on his arms, he pushes me away, and it's good that I have no dealings with such people, when I'm looking for a boyfriend, I'll want her body to be clean - without tattoos, scribbles and more. And you have to be completely crazy, throwing a lot of money at something that the community can't like when you're looking for a job and the guarantee that they will accept you is zero! By the way, tattoos attract bad energies and you will not succeed in anything! Not to mention, when you turn 50-60 and hug your grandchildren one day, how will you look in their eyes - just do not pretend to be a monkey! How do you see yourself after 30 years? Think very well! Not to mention that the cleanup will cost a lot more than you might give for the new tattoo, which when you get bored, you wish you had never done it!

   11, you are exactly from the herd. They saw that several actors and football players were dressed like Christmas trees, so come on. Non-tattooed people have been tattooed all over and they have remained irrelevant to fashion, you are the ones who have changed something to follow some stupid trend, thinking that this way you become very cool, but in fact without wanting to, you demonstrate your herd instinct.

   God, God, what a tragedy reigns in the comments is not real. We still cycle to the opinion that everyone who has a tattoo is the blackest, the dumbest, the most brainless, the most irresponsible, and I don't know what else. We still live with some primitive understandings and are in a hurry to judge anyone who has a tattoo. You people have just totally lost your mind! But totally! You can get a tattoo, of course. And yes, there is an option to give you a problem, HOWEVER, it all depends on where the tattoo is. If it is not visible in any way, you should not have a problem.

s7ormyofficial answered · September 29, 2020

   20, what are your primitive understandings. I have the right not to like tattoos. Is this a sin? And let it shine on you that in civilized countries there is a dress code in certain places such as government institutions, banks, hospitals. Not every peasant can go there in shorts or colored like a Christmas tree, for example, because it is disrespectful to people and institutions. At least these tattoos should cover them up a bit. In the pandiza, for example, there are no requirements for tattoos, but in normal buildings, with normal people and in normal countries there are. And exactly in primitive societies there is no problem for everyone to go as he wants and where he wants. I have not seen a self-respecting doctor as colorful as a Chirpan carpet, but on the other hand, drug addicts, prisoners and complexes have such pain. He draws his own conclusions about the associations that tattoos evoke. And God forbid he treats such a doctor. If you are a mason, there is no problem, but if you want to be a doctor, it's funny. And he won't be 18 for life.

   11, so, go in the same spirit, let's see where you will take her, ha ha ha !!! "Exactly the tattoos distinguished them from the herd" ... HA HA HA !!! But what about you, if you have tattoos, do you think about God's chosen ones, do you think about some unique children endowed with superpowers, do you think about Indigo children, do you think about such unique ones that I couldn't understand? !! You are confident that you are a super-rare endangered species and you are so small that you understand, among the grayness and stupidity and uniformity of the "herd" you stand out from the "herd" with its uniqueness and diversity, right? Who is in the herd, the people who don't follow the stupid examples and fashions of Hollywood and don't copy various drugged, alcoholic drug addicts and follow their own principles of life, or the stupid morons with tattoos, which are already found every kilometer and are absolutely the same, with skulls, spiders and dragons? !! Ah, now think where? Aha, but you are too dumb to understand it and your gourd is full of mercury and lead, it is a pity that the times of socialism will never return.

I work in a prestigious casino and a boy was not hired just because of the tattoo. But his is on the door. I have too but I am a chef. I plan to get a tattoo all over because I like it, but my profession also allows it.

   The Bulgarian continues to act with the rigid thinking from time immemorial, and then we wonder why we are in this situation. Why did you all decide that having a tattoo was an extremely bad thing? Why do you think that people who have tattoos have failed, prisoners and what not. Well ... I've had tattoos for years and I've changed 10 jobs. I have never been reprimanded for them. The question has never been raised that they will interfere with anyone. And what does a tattoo have to do with medicine, since it is not even a strictly official institution there. The doctors are wearing aprons. Don't think that there are no doctors with tattoos. Don't listen to absolutely anyone here. This is your decision, and I'm telling you that we haven't lived in the 20th century for a long time to be stigmatized. You will certainly have no problems.

   25, do you think the tattoo doesn't speak for you? If you see someone with 20 piercings on the face, with a split tongue and those implants that they put under their skin, won't they still tell you anything about the person? It's the same with the tattoo. Yes, it may be a slightly softer option, but still talk enough. Personally, all the tattooed people I know are light-skinned women, country matchmakers, metrosexual men with plucked eyebrows and slicked-back hair. And of course none of them realize that he is like that and for him his tattoo is fine and just like you wonder why ajeba people look at him wrong.

   26, I think it's more rigid to follow some stupid trends. It's also with the selfie trend, with the tendency to demonstrate something (her rest, her fitness workout, her car) and a bunch of other trends. If someone wants to "separate" from the herd so much, I think it is better to do it with some real achievement than with simplicity. Writing a book, a prize from a competition, career success, business. At least it takes some effort and it makes some sense. Anyone can pay someone to make you look like an Easter egg. And because everyone can do it, this is exactly the herd. But not everyone can become a European chess champion, for example. And that's why you need to move your ass and especially your BRAIN. It is easier to do some nonsense and then point it out as an argument for "getting out of the herd".

   Tattooing has been used by many tribes for various purposes, but most often it has been to prove yourself in something. If you are a good hunter you will get some "hunting tattoo", etc. In civilized Europe and the "higher" Asians there were no such things or they were rare. What do you want to put on your hand? Wolf because you killed a wild dog or a skull because you're a human hunter? If we follow Native American traditions, let's at least deserve these tattoos. In general, tattoos are useless if they are not accepted by the public, and you see the comments yourself. I will repeat - tattoos are so that everyone can know that you have proven yourself in something, not so that you look strong and alternate the muffins one after another ....

mariaarcia answered · October 02, 2020

   And I can't believe how we can be 2018 and still have people with that mindset. You look like this type of people who can't see beyond your nose. A tattoo doesn't do anything different to a person, and you see it as different, even as a failure and something below you. No one in the world sticks such labels on people just because they have tattoos. Every second person in the world has a taui, not the fifth, not the tenth, every second. No one, no one judges or points a finger, like you, picky Bulgarians. Nobody cares how he or she dresses or looks. Complexers are you who use offensive epithets. Every tattoo has a meaning and significance, and is related to the past or future of the person, no one is obliged to explain to you why he made it or what the reasons are. And it doesn't interfere with work or the upper class,

Well, let's accept both shamanism and human sacrifice. I don't know where this stupid obsession with painting every second lately started.

   I can't understand why you decided that everyone who gets a tattoo wants to be different from the herd. Doesn't it occur to you that he can just love art itself. Because tattooing is an art no matter what we talk about. I don't understand why we continue to judge people the way they look today. Why do you think that everyone who makes tattoos follows some trends. There is something that one wants to keep for oneself as a memory of a different moment, of a different person or event. I am also very interested in women and men who, when they see an actor or a famous person and admire his body, his vision, which can often have tattoos, but if the neighbor from the other block looks the same, that even better , you say to yourself, if you see this one, it's interesting and follows the trends, I know what kind of person he is. And so you judge everyone without knowing him. This is the thinking of the Bulgarian. And yes, the tone has changed in the last 20-30 years. It has even gotten worse.

   My friend is a tattoo artist. She has tattoos on her back, legs, upper arms, but not under her elbows or neck - so that she can wear a long-sleeved garment if necessary and not be seen tattooed. Her opinion about tattoos is that it is an expression of something intimate and personal, a kind of psychotherapy. I had never thought of tattooing that way. Personally, I am not tattooed, but I am of the opinion that everyone is free to do whatever they want with their body. When I go to the doctor, what matters to me is her / her attitude and competence as a doctor, not whether she has piercings or tattoos - on the contrary, I would feel calmer if she has, because I will feel closer to her as a person. who has shown the courage to give outward expression to his inward state. Unfortunately, as you can see from the comments above, the majority of commenters are extremely intolerant of this type of body style, and therefore your future employer is more likely to think like them. There is one more thing to consider - how your future patients will react: older / conservative thinkers will be worried or distrustful, for younger / liberal-minded people they may feel closer or they tend to trust you. Whatever you decide, I wish you success in the noble profession you have chosen! for the younger / liberal ones, they may feel closer to you or they may tend to trust you.

   I work in a recruitment company and only once have I seen a requirement from the employer that the candidates do not have tattoos, it was about flight attendants in one of the high-budget airlines. In Europe, no one cares anymore if you have tattoos, earrings or blue hair. As long as you are qualified and do your job well. Otherwise, I have 2 tattoos that I made when I was 16, then I thought that they represented me, and that this is how I express myself. Amy no longer personifies me, on the contrary, they annoy me terribly, I wonder how to hide them. And the worst part is that, contrary to popular belief, not every tattoo can be removed with a laser. For one of mine there is no chance, at best there will be a scar that I have to hide with another tattoo. Which, after 10 years, will also not personify me and will irritate me. Just learning we upgrade and change, and "Only God can judge me" from a philosophy of life becomes dull, vulgar, and cheap. Fortunately, I didn't tattoo it, but probably 1/3 of the guys I interview between 18 and 30 have this caption. As soon as I see him ... So don't ... Believe me, you will become smarter and cooler in 5, 10 years and you will be angry with yourself, fuck the employers.

   Do you know what distinguishes tattooed from non-tattooed? Liberalism. Yes, people with tattoos are usually more open to the world and tend to accept the different ones without judging, insulting and qualifying them as weird, drug addicts and so on. It is the anti-tattoo commenters who prove my theory. And to remind you that we are in the 21st century and tattoos are no longer just wolves, spiders and dragons and everyone can choose a variety of inscriptions and symbols that mean a lot to him. From number 11.

puzycat69 answered · October 03, 2020

   I, unlike number 41, at the age of 16 was very well aware that the probability of me advancing over the years is quite high. That's why I didn't get a tattoo. And not only because of that, but also because I always received attention and felt special and unique enough. And I have very nice white skin, which I don't like to expose very much even in the sun, let alone to paint :) What provokes me to write is the reaction to people who get tattoos. Let them do what. Everyone is free to do whatever he wants with his body. Here's why, for example, I don't mind who has a tattoo even though I don't have one and I don't want to get one? And what are you looking at your colleagues so much? Don't you go to work to work? In my opinion, Only god can judge me is even a very correct philosophy of life, it is not stupid, much less gone. I am sure that people who tattoo this do not mean at all that they are above the Law, but simply send a message to all who are inclined to criticize and are perceived as very wise, almost sinless and as omniscient. 41, when you interview these guys, why don't you just look them in the eye?

courierlord answered · October 03, 2020

   Well, number 43, because I am a professional in my job, which is to find out in a minimum time, a maximum for the person and to offer him a job that will suit him, from which he will not be fired after 1 month and which he will not leave. After all, you yourself say that this tattoo is there to send a message, here is what message I get from the inscription "Only God can judge me." 1. I do not tolerate authority and criticism. 2. I haven't read many books outside of my education. (here if you want arguments, personal observations) 3. I have no original thinking, I have no problem with being like the others. I am guided by trends. I will offer this person a job in a team of equal colleagues, where he will work as a percentage or earnings, and not on a daily basis. Because he will feel good working for himself and improving to earn more. He will not be good in a higher-ranking environment, nor with a boss who criticizes him and tells him how fast and how to work. It will not be good for him at work, where decisions have to be made, because this person is not up to ideas and prefers ready-made information without thinking much. And believe me, this person can be a great employee, but only if he is in the right place. I'm not saying anything bad about him, he's usually principled, with religious values. I also pay special attention to people's shoes. Whether torn, new, dirty, whether they meet the standard of human life and things like that. So no, I don't just look them in the eyes, I look at their clothes, shoes, tattoos, documents, the condition of their teeth and eyes, their posture, the smell. I watch which chair he decides to sit on, how he greets me, how close to me he will decide to stand, the people of the villages are accustomed to a great distance and bend down by shaking hands, for example. And thousands, thousands of things. Only now did I realize how stupid a provocation I was bound to respond to, but it might be useful for someone.

   That's right, you tie tight. At the age of 16 you became attached, and now, years later, you have obviously not become any different. Everyone is a person who has the right to freely choose what vision to be. One is not a live stock, so to be judged by some 'external features' whether he will be fit for this or that, and the appearance often lies.
