Jobs That Require Tattoo Removal
There are many jobs out there that require the removal of visible tattoos before the hiring process will begin. Many employers out there find that tattoos are ugly, non-appropriate and against company policy. Lets face it, visible tattoos can be hard to hide, especially if they are located on your hands, wrists, neck or face. Tattoos located on the arms and legs can also be a problem if a potential job requires bare skin in those areas of the body. Depending on the job or career you want to pursue, you might want to consider removing visible tattoos. If your potential employer doesn’t care if you have tattoos, then so be it. Luckily for you, you don’t have to worry or consider removing your art.
The tattoo removal process can be done a number of ways such as laser removals, surgical removals, chemical peels, and do-it-yourself creams. However each one of these ways takes time, averaging 6-18 months depending on the size of your tattoo. There hasn’t been a magic eraser developed yet that can rid you of your burden overnight, so if you are considering a professional job in the future, you might want to start removing your tattoo sooner than later.
Who Cares About Visible Tattoos?
There are many jobs out there that don’t necessarily care whether or not an employee has a visible tattoo. Jobs that involve a trade skill, such as plumbers, electricians, construction workers, tattoo artists, music artists, professional athletes and computer technicians generally don’t have to worry about hiding visible tattoos.
There are however many professional jobs out there that include high profile client interactions, such as lawyers, doctors, dentists, nurses, teachers and pharmacists that do not tolerate visible tattoos. But the list doesn’t end there, retail stores such as Sears and Macy’s do not allow tattoos that show. Other professions such as waiters and waitresses, bank tellers, hotel staff, receptionists and sales jobs that include insurance and business-products also crack down on the visibility of art on their employees.
And then there's the gray area. These are the employers who do not allow visible tattoos, but allow employees, if the tattoo is small enough, to cover them up or disguise them someway. You have to remember that most people, especially older generations view tattoos as rebellious behavior and frown upon anyone who has their art on display. If you do want to apply for a position that is more of a professional, suit and tie type position, you might want to begin doing your homework and finding a tattoo removal method that is suitable for you.
