Tattoos Still Taboo in the Workplace

Tattoos Still Taboo in the Workplace https://img.buzzfeed.com Ankle: Subtle tattoos on the ankle are good for the workplace. Youll be able to show it off when you want to, but it wont be obvious that youre tatted up. https://img.buzzfeed.com   Rib cage:  This one hurts.  Everything Ive read warns against getting your first tattoo here. But, like the shoulder blade, this is a good place for a tattoo if youre going to work somewhere where tattoos are still taboo. Youll be able to show it off at the pool, but not when youre meeting with your boss! https://img.buzzfeed.com   Foot: Like the ankle, this is a good place for a subtle tattoo. Ive also heard this one hurts pretty badly so be warned! But again, youll be able to cover it up when you need to, and show it off whenever you want!   https://img.buzzfeed.com Behind the ear: I know a lot of people who got tattoos behind their ear. Its easy to cover up if you have long hair, but be mindful that itll be easy to forget about and let show in the workplace. If you get a tattoo here, youll have to make sure your hair covers a reasonable amount of it. https://img.buzzfeed.com   Workers with visible smaller, discrete, non-offensive tattoos are more likely to be accepted by businesses, says Sue Murphy,  association manager for the National Human Resources Association. When you start thinking about what kind of tattoo you want to get, the most important thing you can consider is your future in the workplace. Will the tattoo youre considering be easy to conceal? Non-offensive? The last thing you want to do is throw yourself out of the running for a job because of a decision you made on a drunk night at 18. My greatest piece of advice to you is to think about it. Consider all your options. And remember, tattoos are really expensive to get taken off.
