I recently signed an offer for internship at EY as a technology consultant in D&A. I am HEAVILY tattooed but i don’t think they really saw them because i was in a button down long sleeve shirt & a blazer during my zoom interviews. I also have a tattoo on my neck & a small ankh tattooed next to my ear. approximately how much covering up will i have to do at big 4? asking because i’m doing some shopping for a “work” wardrobe Deloitte PwC

I have members of my team that are heavily tattooed and most people don’t have a clue. They usually just wear long sleeves and pants when around clients. If it’s internal, then who cares they just dress like everyone else in those situations - business causal.

Dress for your day, dress for your client. I have friends and coworkers that have full sleeves and wear polos in the office, full suit and button down at the client site.

Long sleeves with collars and you’ll be fine, at least until you demonstrate value and then nobody cares. One of my best friend does Tech consulting at EY and is inked up, he just hides them. Most time you have camera off on calls so should not be a big deal

Hey, can you post in another bowl? Do you have access to the EY bowl or consulting bowls? That's where you will get the responses.

My take is EY LOVES skin deep diversity and you will be fast tracked for leadership. They may be crushed if you don't also fill some of their other diversity buckets.

So show whatever you want to show. Start off biz casual but you should be able to wear what anyone else wears to the office (noting, I often regret the latitude some people think exists in the biz casual universe)

I think as long as it’s not visible you’ll be fine. But that’ll mean long-sleeved, collared shirts every day… even in summer.

Hopefully someone from @EY will see this and can provide some insight because I have no idea
