hiding tattoos

LMCD

I would say, be yourself. I have two tattoos on my wrists cos apparently am stupid... and also have one of the back of my neck which are 3/6 visable tattoos - body art and piercings are more modern and acceptable these days. be yourself. If they think you will do a good job it doesn't matter what you look like! and am fab at what I do! :rotfl:

best of luck

Beyond ignorant-I'll say what I want. Plenty of people get type 2 diabetes through bad diet/lack of exercize etc, so one could argue self inflicted. Tattoos are also self inflicted.
Clinical need is debatable and you have to put your argument forward.
So jog on mate.

A condition that can kill, or at the very least have a significant impact of your life v. a tattoo ... Laughable!

But you won't have any employment rights for the first year - actually, first two years, given the proposed legislative changes.

If your employer hates tattoos so much you have to hide them to get a job, you'll need to keep hiding them to keep the job.

Of course, the person interviewing you may be hiding some 'sleeves' under a long shirt, you never really know what people's attitudes are without asking...

I agree - no point in getting your foot in the door, only to be kicked out again.

OP, I'd be honest about it. I have a tattoo which I prefer to hide, but if someone notices it I just explain it was from years ago, made a mistake etc.

Personally i would be honest about your tattoos. When I went in for my job interview he didnt notice (2 on my wrist) I asked what the company policy was on tattoo - He wanted to know what they were and where they was, All my tattoos CAN be hidden if needed but they dont need to be.

I would just point them out and be honest

I wouldnt bother about the tattoos - After reading that I think it might be your over confidence that might dent your prospects

Your being silly by trying to hide them if it isnt something your wanting to do permantly
