Does anyone know Asda's policy on tattoo's?

I have worked for Asda and would say that the majority have tattoos especially the young lads there are some quite large ones on arms.

I don't have them, but most of my colleagues did

Thanks saraheavie, very helpful

A lot of Asda employees at my store have tattos visible on hands/arms/wrists.

I have a tattoo on my wrist * how silly of me eh?!* and I recently passed both Asda interviews, nothing was said. As long as it's nothing offensive I shouldn't imagine there being a problem.

Good luck to the OP

Agreed it might not help the OP, but it does have the potential to help the as yet untatooed think of the possible consequences of their choices.

Thank you. It's nothing offensive, it's my childrens names

Fairly sure my half sister has tattoos on her wrists (kids names) and she works on the pizza/deli part at asda..so should not be a problem

The policy is any offensive tattoos will have to be covered by either uniform or plasters. Non offensive tattoos do not require covering. Many of our colleagues have visible tattoos. Good luck with your group screening.

Think I'll stick to Waitrose. Hate the things.

Could you cover it up with make-up? Just until you're sure either way

I agree with Jarndyce, people have enough skin on their body to get tattooed that can be hidden for work; but i'm not a big fan of tattoos on women anyway.


but! there's a bird at my local Asda who has a couple of small visible tattoos, (wrists and behind the ear).. so it probably depends on the manager at each store
