In my universe you can't get a white collar job with tattoos like that. Hidden or not. And that one can't be even hidden as it goes below the sleeve.
But I guess as far as tattoos go, very cool tattoo indeed.

Must be nice to live in your little close minded world and yes the very bottom would come out of the sleeve but like I said welcome to the 21st century. Care to explain why someone with a tat shouldn't be able to get a white collar job? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEV8A3ZHrx8 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEV8A3ZHrx8)

I live in a realistic world. A tattoo is not something you'd want your companys representative person to display, they're more associated with gangs, bikers, criminals etc. activities. Funny that you should put that video there as nobody can remove their tattoos just by hiding them in a hat or by simply taking a haircut.
A tattoo is something you choose to live with, good or bad. In most white collar jobs also long hair need not apply, it's simply just like that :) You need to look clean and official. How many businessmen in suits have you seen with long hair or pony tails? :D

Well times are a changing. With the popularity of tats the last cpl decades I don't see that being the case much longer.

You can always hope. I can't see how anyone can be taken seriously if they are covered in tattoos.

Two. Both were criminal defense attorneys.

Well that only goes to prove everything that's in general said about lawyers :devil
Oh, and lawyers are not considered as 'businessmen' unless they're acting in management with a degree in business law.
-
I know a few folks with long hair that have successful businesses and I also know a ponytiald DA aswell, Im simply saying the old way is going to go out of style soon enough it wasn't until what the late 90s that EVERYONE started getting tats? How long do you think the baby boomers have and their kids arent that strict what with their hippie pot smoking days guess whos after them. Generation me and guess who's up on deck running the middle management now? generation x, who will soon be hiring generation Y.

SO people cant be intelligent with a tattoo? Also you telling me you wouldn't buy something from this long haired business man?

If I lived in 18th century I might. Today people live by different standards. Would you buy something from Mr. Ben Franklin considering he probably followed the hygiene standards of his day and bathed once a week or less? Stinky fella like that would never EVER pass the first intervew! :eek:
Tattoos are commonly associated with criminals, it's really not something anyone who wants to portray a credible image of himself would want to do. If you're a part time biker working at a mill - cool, go ahead. Your friends probably will love it. If you're a sales rep, consultant or a wannabe member of the town fine wine club, your tattoos are going to be frowned upon.

Well, the looking down on tattoo's is actually a sign of intelligence in a manner (not fully though).
You will find those who have a very high IQ don't like to be branded or limited by someone else's doings or standards (its why they go beyond them).
In a sense, tattoo's are someone else marking their territory on you, even if it not exactly be the tattoo painter themself; the symbolism can't be denied.
-

the problem is that you live in a different country. the attitude here in the USA is changing when it comes to tattoos. they're more accepted as long as you dont do them on your face and you have nekked ladies exposed.

Like it or not it is all about perception.
Attitudes about tattoos are changing here in the US, but I really don't think they are changing that quick in the Corporate World. Sure there are folks with high profile positions and pay that have long hair and tattoos, but what percentage are they? I am willing to bet it is not very high. Times may change, but the bottom line is if you are going for a job in a cooperation and you have long hair and/or exposed tattoo(s), you are taking a chance.

Yep and more importantly once you _have_ the high paying job at the corporate top, you may afford to grow a long hair and/or take a tattoo. But if you want to _get_ there, covering yourself in tattoos is probably not your best game plan.

I designed both my tattoos by hand myself though, what does that mean?
-
If I was trying to portray a professional image to clients that were going to trust me with significant assets or important business stuff, I would not send out people with visible tattoos to do client interaction.
If I was in the business of training combat skills, I would search out people with specific backgrounds that often include very specific tattoos. These would probably end up my most trusted employees/instructors.
Different standards of dress and appearance apply based on the job requirements. I know that I certainly would not do financial business with someone wearing tattoos that are gang or prison related, or using symbols associated with various hate groups. They might be the nicest person in the world but I would not be able to trust them and would not risk the future of my family on that particular gamble. For me personally it is about managing risk. For a company managing their image, it's the same thing. Why should they risk their image and the loss of a client by presenting an image that doesn't exude "trust me I'm good at this"? Sorry, but in "that world", a full sleeve tattoo doesn't give an immediate impression of business competence. There would have to be additional proof there somewhere, and establishing competence in the face of a bad first impression is an uphill battle.
A nice kid and his girlfriend were eating dinner next to us, and I noticed he had some gang/prison/hate group tats on his hands and neck. It was a small place so I couldn't help hearing his conversation, and he sounded like a really nice guy. But I sure wouldn't let him anywhere near my wife and kids. Maybe he's reformed, maybe he got the tats to survive in prison as he paid for a mistake, but just maybe he's a psychopath who would assault me or my wife because we are a "mixed race" couple. He will never get a chance to prove anything to me, and I stayed between him and my wife until we left. The tats were the only thing that made me think that way. I'm normally very tolerant (grew up in San Diego, so yea, tolerance) but a potential threat is a threat, period.
Like the dental assistant who had a bumper sticker of "the shocker" on his car. Does anyone really think I would be comfortable letting a guy who proudly displays a sex act on his car put his hands in my mouth, or in the mouth of my wife/kids, possibly under sedation? That guy won't EVER be near my wife/kids and I'll refuse treatment if he's the guy assigned to me during my next dental checkup. He probably has the same design tattooed somewhere because its that important to him. Fine, he gets an official workplace harassment complaint and I don't trust him to do his primary job with me or my family.
So, yea... Tattoos DO matter. Some more than others, and more to some people than others. If that is the image you want to present to the world and you're fine with the consequences, then go ahead get all the tats you want. Just don't complain when the consequences happen.

dont you have a tattoo of windows 8 on your neck?

I have to agree with MrRiplEy on this one for visible tattoos. Most corporate environments require tattoos to be covered at all times. A lot of places will not hire people with visible tattoos.
You dress the way you want for the job you want to do. Military tattoos are the only exception I have ever seen with upper management.
Hair, piercings, tattoos all matter. There are others that are as good as you with their jobs and are willing to dress the part.
The only leeway I see for cooperate jobs is IT. We have some weird examples of what is considered normal in my department.
Every other Dept management and client facing members are clean cut.

In my line of business that would be considered a joke if I had. But I have to say no to that one.
+1 for yet another warrantless personal attack. Go to a hate management course dude.
-
Sadly I agree. I have nothing against tattoos. But in my experience if you have them and they are visible you can likely kiss a white collar job goodbye.
That being said, I somehow doubt that many who have extensive tattoos have any great interest in working for a bank or some such. I know that's a generalization, but....
-
I thought your tattoo was a script of
"Sorry. This person moved or deleted this image."
Found that extremely funny.
-
I have turned thousands of dollars away due to people wanting to get visible tatts.....young people, should not be getting their necks.... hands and face done...plain and simple....ya tatts are popular but you will never get anywhere in life if you go and cover your self in tattoos....do some make it "big" with tatts...sure.....but it is very rare...
like some are saying the corporate world is still very biased against tatts....
people are still very biased against tatts.....
MrRiply Is dead on they are very much associated with the criminal world....the "underclass" of people....
to me they are living art....and not for everyone.

I've wanted a tatto for since I was 12. I've waited all these years looking at every pro and con to having ink. And now I'm 20 and done thinking :banana:
I'm an artist so I see my body as sort of a canvas if you will.
And on the whole judging a book by it's cover, I find gals who are hot, even sexier with tats. My grand ma thinks that's trashy but each to thier own.

It not cheep for large work... But worth every penny! :salute
In public I get a lot of dirty looks from the generation of my grandparents and not so many from my parents age group. Suit or not the older generation does still hold the criminal element mindset. I wish I had cameras in my eyes to capture some of the faces they make at me. I make it a point to always do my shopping after work in a suit too really mess with them by rolling up my sleeves and taking my daughter. Oh the looks are priceless!

Just the older generation in general gives funny looks. I've made old lady gasp wearing certian shirts consisting of a pregnant lady nekked, and spewing her I innards from her vagina. :rofl :rofl :rofl
