Employment issues question.

Just the skanky ones if I am honest.

And yet you have ink yourself. Pretty fucked up view. Old fashioned as fuck too. The simple fact that you don't like it means you can class those that do as skanky. Narrow minded and hypocritical to boot.

Can't agree with that sorry. Maybe 10 years ago. Not now. How many chicks at cafes etc are covered in them?

chick at the coffee shop i am known to frequent has nice roses on her lower back,and when she bends over to pick up the spoon i seem to drop often,I can see the pansies.

dont have a problem with that at all

Any fairies at the bottom of the garden?

would want to, and what is legally allowed are two different things.

It irks me somewhat that people still have such a lowly opinion of tattoos, I really cant agree with the 'its still a fuck you to the observer' attitude either - if they were swastikas or something sure, but otherwise nah, that seems a little bit of an overexcited response! whats the difference between a tattoo and jewellery?

Come on. As long as the business knows what they are doing, it's very easy to get rid of people. As long as you do it correctly, there is no problem. Botch it (as so many do) and yeah, it's gonna bite you.

It also doesn't really matter what you think re tattoos. The general public perception is still negative (and more importantly, the company's opinion of the general public perception). Yes, it's probably not as negative as a decade ago, but it's still negative.

I'd simply ask the employer first. If they said no, then the person can choose to remain in employment, or value the tattoos above all else. NZ is far too small to make stupid moves...

Why ask the KB audience ??? Surely it is a question that person A should ask their employer about and once they have a firm answer from said employer person A can make an informed decision on their own account without the need for the opinions of 20 or 30 other people that have no stake in this matter.Employee and employer are the only 2 persons that will at the end of the day decide whether person A should or not retain their employment .

Nicely put, albeit in a somewhat PC manner. In some industries tattoos are common place, but I think you've got the public perception bit right here.

Bit like the old joke about women with tattoos being easy to hit on...they're wearing the evidence on their skin that they're capable of making a mistake

In the end, if the tattoo is that important then go ahead and get it done, cover it up at work and don't ask the boss.

You need a new keyboard. Your one makes less and less sense every day.

Hey, I married one. It's a compliment down this way.

Easy, it's fun to watch!

[Akzle]

depends what the employer considers "presentable", whether there is an "unsaid rule" of no tats. - a bitch to argue in employment court either way.

basically, not a lot to be done about it.

My thoughts on it...

Awesome Pic Crasher,

TT, I have a 3/4 sleeve on one arm and another tattoo on the back of the other forearm. I also wear a polo type shirt for work. Not one customer has had an iusse with any of my ink and I'm dealing with mega rich ($60 million superyachts, $100,000+ stereos) middle aged type people. I have found that as long as you present yourself as a decent friendly person tattoos dont really register as a blip on the radar.
Some of the views expressed so far are surprising considering 1 in 3 adults in NZ has ink of some description.

So as long as your friend is open and honest about tattoos I cant see why it would be an issue.
