Tatoos in the work place.

I don;t think tat's are such a big thing like they used to be. I work in a very conservative office (I'm an accountant!!) although I currently have 3 tattoos and I'm considering having more. I too, planned my pieces so that I can cover them when I wish to do so. As they are on my upper thigh (below my hip), on my stomach, and my chest, I can cover them fully with as little as shorts and a tee-shirt. The one on my chest has been noticed at work, if I wore a thin shirt and it has shown through, but I only get a few questions about when I got it and if I have any more. I think the 'rules' in most places now are that you shouldn't have any on your hands, neck, or face.

Actually, before I even got tats, I know I didn't want them on my arms...I have tats on my back, chest and one on my leg, due to when I first got them, I was younger. I always said If I got into the corporate world I wouldn't want them up and down my arms... Today, I do work in the corporate world and I don't have any problem...at my job if someone have tats it's not a really big issue just as long as it's not totally covering up and down their arms or neck...

my old job told us that we had to cover up the tatoos, its good as the kids in the daycare do not need to see them,

i have 2 tattoos and though they are usually covered when i wear pants and a nice shirt, when i wear capris or a skirt then you can see the one on my ankle and my employer does not have a problem with it.

I have two, and they're almost always covered. You can see the one on my thigh when I wear a bathing suit the one in my pic is hidden unless I wear a low-cut blouse. Most people are very surprised to find out I have tattoos, I really don't look the part - even though they are becoming more main-stream. When I get my next one, I don't know that anyone will be able to see it (on my back, to the right) unless I wear a 2-peice... The last job I had had a policy about covering tattoos and peircings. That made things worse because people started wearing neon bandages over them - it was actually quite funny!

Well, i personally have two tattoos myself. When i worked in the bar i showed alot of skin so my tattoos always showed and i got alot of compliments for them along with probably too much attention...LOL! However i cover them up on my own for example when i substitute teach! I worked today and i always dress properly and make sure that i wear a longer sweater so that the kids do not see my lower back tattoo!
