Are non-offensive but visible tattoos a deal breaker?

I’d imagine it really depends on the industry but if an employer doesn’t accept you with your tattoos then I’d imagine those aren’t the type of people you’d enjoy working with anyway.

Definitely depends on the job and the industry. I was once interviewed by someone in hair care who was all inked up as the place was rather casual. I also recently worked with someone who had a lot of tattoos since we worked in a wellness center. But if you're working in fancy corporate office, they may frown upon it, though I do believe more jobs have loosened up a bit in recent years.

I'm sure they are a deal breaker for some companies, but overall I think tattoos are accepted in the workplace more now.

20+ years ago, yes. These days highly unlikely they care unless it's a distraction like a skull tatoo all over your face or if you dealing with other cultures that might find it offensive, i. e. Muslim customers.

As a person with 12 very visible tattoos I agree it just depends on what the job is or how the company is. I've only been once rejected from a job because of it but that didn't surprise me since it was a cleaning job at an international collegiate school. I find it funny because I have 17 years in that field and they keep reposting but it wasn't a surprise. I also now try not to apply to ones I know won't hire because of them

Hello everyone, I have posted before about a situation I am in with a potential employer. I received an offer from a hospital, I accepted it with the director, signed some paperwork for a background check and sent it back. It has been 3 weeks so far, the person I spoke to said HR should’ve sent me consent forms already, I’ve dug through my email and found nothing, I’ve reached out to HR as well but they won’t speak to me since I am not an employee. What do I do? I’m stuck in limbo.

Hi everyone!! This is exactly the group I've been looking for. I'll be starting my new (and first) consulting job at ZS Associates at the end of the month and I'm so nervous that I'll crash and burn. I'm very proud to be an ENFP, but the flaws that come along with it (distraction, procrastination, disorganization) seem like a recipe for disaster. I'm not sure if I should spend this next month trying to change my habits or if I should just embrace it. Anyway, what advice do you all have?

I am terrible at withholding salary information from recruiters. Yesterday a recruiter gave the line “I would hate for us to get to the end of the interview process only for it to turn out that we couldn’t give the salary you would need” so I panicked and threw out a number that was thirty percent higher than my current pay. He then told me the salary range which was way higher! Do you really just firmly repeat “I need to learn more about the team and benefits before I can assign a number?”
