When setting a dress code for employees it is important to assess what you want to gain from the appearance of your employees, as mentioned above it could be as simple as health and safety legislation requires employees to wear a certain attire, or not wear certain items because of the impact on their role, for example, a factory worker operating machinery may not be able to wear jewelry or loose clothing just in case it could be caught in the machinery. Tattoos and body piercings may be considered within your dress code policy as an employer may request an employee covers their tattoos while at work or removes any piercings if they feel this goes against their company image, or if piercings could cause a potential health and safety issue.

It is becoming harder to obtain jobs because the business industry tends to judge tattoos as unprofessional. Honestly, it is not any different than someone expressing themselves with a hairstyle, or clothing choice. Some of the best employees could be looked over due to the ink on their skin. A person’s skin does not define their working abilities, nor does it define their education.

    EN3220 Project Part 1 Meleetch

    So what are the origins of tattoos and body piercing? In some cultures, they are a badge of honor or a representation of their beliefs. For others in the past it was a mark of possession. During WWII, the Germans tattooed each concentration camp prisoner. However, as the world changes, tattoos and body piercing are being more and more accepted in the workplace. Something like a quarter of all Americans currently have tattoos. That number goes up among younger generations. Among my peers at work under the age of 30, 75% have tattoos. This does not even take into account how many have piercings. However, only a small percentage of the hiring workforce has tattoos and/or piercings as well. This directly implies that hiring managers find tattoos to be offensive and will associate tattoos with nefarious groups like gangs and bikers, or others that are perceived to be outside the social norm. In my experience, it is best to NOT judge a book by its cover.…

    Tattoos and Body Piercing in the Workforce

    What canvas holds some of the most creative artwork today? If you guessed the human skin, you would be right. However, about three decades ago, one would only find these types of markings and insignias on what would be considered the “rough” crowd: bikers, sailors, gang members, and prison inmates. Today; however, tattoos and piercings can be seen on nearly anyone from the age of 15 and up. Not to mention, these body modifications can be found on all types of workers, male or female, white and blue-collar. Even though times have changed and opinions along with it, the workforce is still making a firm stand to some older thoughts. Although, body art has become a more accepted form of individualistic expression; it will continue to suppress individuals’ chances of succeeding in a professional environment, because employers, clients, and customers still have a negative connotation associated with the presence of tattoos and piercings.…

    Tattoos and Piercings in the Workplace

    A business is allowed to limit or prohibit tattoos, piercings, and other forms of body modification as much as they want as long as it is addressed in the employee handbook, usually in the dress code section. If the business does not mention a tattoo or piercing policy, it is illegal for them to punish or discriminate against an employee with body modifications. The policy also must be enforced uniformly among the employees, or the employee can sue the company (Cole) .…

    People say perception is everything. Potential employers judge people based on physical appearance, as do peers, potential mates, and clients. Tattoos are a big issue concerning how people judge appearance.

    Essay On Tattoos In The Workplace

    People who have the education and the drive to work in a certain industry shouldn’t be kept from pursuing their career because of ink. Tattoos aren’t all rebellious, those that are, are on rebellious people who you wouldn’t want working for you anyway. Body art doesn’t affect someone's ability to work: physically or mentally. Even though some customers may become offended at the bird on your wrist, there are plenty more that won’t care. Businesses will have more problems finding good workers if they continue to discriminate, tattoos are not all bad, and even though they may be for self-expression, tattoos do not define who someone is as an…
