Are Tattoos Becoming More Accepted at the Workplace?

October 17, 2010 by IamMoody

I have been pondering this aspect for quite some time now, and being a tattoo enthusiast as well as a business minded person, I have always wondered if tattoos are being more accepted at the workplace. While I don’t have time in my day to fully investigate this matter, I can tell you what I have learned from my own eyes by merely venturing out into different places where people who have tattoos happily work without being degraded for sporting tats, and without having to even cover them up. After a few months of taking some mental notes, I have been able to derive a list of places that you could work at where they really could not care less if you have any tattoos on your body.

  1. Obviously: Tattoo parlors – this one just needed to be said, even though it’s assumed.
  2. Most sports bars, pubs and restaurants. I can’t tell you how many of these places that I have been to where people working, be they servers, bartenders or hostesses, are flaunting some pretty noticeable tats. Seems like these places stopped making them cover up their tats. Sweet!
  3. Grocery stores, convenience stores, gas stations and storage units. I have been to all of these enterprises recently, and I have seen many different people that have large tats on their bodies that are not covered up.
  4. Customer service centers and call centers. These places generally don’t care what you wear to work, as you are working the phones and no one can see what you look like. Tats are entirely acceptable.
  5. Casual offices. Some might require you wear shirt to cover them up, but according to an article that I read in Inked Magazine, most of these offices are lightening up on their restrictions. This is found in abundance at offices for information technology companies; such as the one that my best friend works at.

Tattoos Are In!

June 30, 2010 by IamMoody

If you take a gander to the upper left, you can see yours truly (me) – and I am sure that you will notice some things right from the get-go. Hopefully it is not my ugly mug; which I think is not so ugly, but then again my opinion is obviously biased as I am talking about myself while not trying to come off as some egotistical and overly eccentric, self-infatuated clot. But there are several reasons as to why I have chosen to brandish my image on this post and sacrifice the realm of personal privacy for the sheer devotion to always keeping you all on the up-and-up. This time around, I am talking about tattoos—and how much of a permanent fashion staple that they truly are!

Getting back on track here, if you do look at good old happy me to the upper left, chances are that one of the first things that caught your eyes was the full sleeve tattoos that I have on my left and right arms. There is a story behind these tattoos for me – and most people that I have ever met that have tats usually offer some form of personal significance that they mean to them. For me, although hard to tell from the picture, they are dragons that are three-dimensional and are eating my arms as they breath fire down one side and ice down the other; the altruistic ‘fire and ice’ that runs wild in the spirit of humanity. The personal meaning of my tattoos: They are actually a two-headed dragon that covers my entire back and chest that is coyly named Fragor from a fantasy novel I recently penned that has been published (I won’t divulge the name of the novel because I am not writing this article to try and sell books).

But my main point is that a tattoo, although typically a permanent fixture upon your person, can have lasting fashion suaveness. In fact, I see people all over the place that have different tattoos, and who come from all walks of life. I generally get approached by them on a daily basis because my tats are rather extensive. So I suppose the point and case that I am making here is that if you are wise with your tat decision, you can enjoy a piece of body art that you will have and cherish forever!

Do they hurt to get? Heck yes! Mine sure did!

But then again, as the old saying goes: “No Pain, No Gain!”
