one or two visible tattoos that are not on your face or neck should be OK, but LOL at anyone over 18 that has any kind of non-ear piercings. that poo poo is ridiculous, disgusting, and childish looking.

its probably contextual on second thought, if you're talented, accomplished, and respected in your field anything short of gang signs tattooed on your face is just going to make the office look young and hip, if you're as smart as you sound on GBS you should probably avoid getting any body modifications since you will need all the help you can get

probably varies by field and location but unless you really feel a strong urge to get visible tattoos I don't see why someone would take the disadvantage.

Nah you can just flip them up during work and no one knows you have it. Besides I'm the boss in this fuckin' office so if they don't like it I don't care.

I spent most of a decade in federal contracting which is about as white-collar as it gets and all my bosses were black chicks and Pakistani immigrants who really didn't give a poo poo what you looked like so long as you showed up on time, did what you were told, and wore what could be generously defined as "business casual". Some of the most senior guys I worked under had like full armband biker tats and wanted to talk about all the guns they had stashed everywhere

sorry about your career in Pighole Alabama man

the norm for what

you think google isn't 'the norm', you think the federal government isn't 'the norm', what is the soul-crushing white-collar office job you are dressing up for, do you base your insights on normal on an intensive study of Mad Men and 90s comedies

This game stinks
I think the word "visible" is relative, and that is throwing people off. In a hypothetical madmen office, men all wear suits, so "visible" means face and hands. In a business casual setting, visible could mean forearms, too. At google, throw in calves. If I have a forearm tattoo in a business casual office with my sleeves rolled up, but I wear a jacket for meetings, is it "visible"?

I've also seen some really subtle hand tattoos which I wouldn't have noticed if they hadn't been pointed out to me.

Worrying about other people's job opportunities is a pretty strange thing to do, regardless. Laugh at tattoos for being stupid or laugh at tattooed people for looking terrible, sure, but it's a bit presumptuous to say you know more about a person's business culture more than they do. Every business is different in that regard, and some entire industries don't give a gently caress.

Edit: Also, I feel sorry for Moridin920. It looks like he works in a terrible area and it is all he knows.

I don't think black and Pakistani women in charge is the norm for federal office work. And Google is the norm but what I was saying is those two dudes in that random picture could be random tech support geeks for all I know. They aren't in charge of anything.

Besides the whole techie field is obv trending towards a younger crowd I think it is disingenuous to pick techie offices as an example of a typical white collar office.

All I'm saying that for certain fields, like accountants, lawyers, doctors, most office jobs, etc., it is dumb to have visible tattoos because you're seen as unprofessional and it could adversely affect your career.

I think that any reasonable person would agree :shrug: I live in Southern California I don't think it gets more lax than this.

I don't understand how you can see the posts in this thread going 'tattoos are for idiots' and simultaneously think there isn't a good chunk of people wouldn't be cool with a doctor that had a neck tattoo.
