If I go ahead and get a face tattoo. A smallish one at the corner of my eye, can my boss fire me for that?

I would consider what my personal brand is before getting a tattoo on my face.

Yeah it depends on your company's policies.. I do think it depends on how big/noticeable it is though. Like even if it's not in the company policies, I could see some managers just developing a bias against you because of it

Is it against your companies policy? I don't know that they can fire you for that but if there is a rule against face tattoos then its possible they could. I would just make sure you look into that or ask HR before you go get one. Better to be safe than sorry.

Yes you can get fired for getting a visible tattoo on your face if it's against company policy? Or they could fire you for unprofessional conduct.
I think it would be best to ask the management first if getting a tattoo goes against company policy OR if there would be any issues getting one

Me personally that has A lot of tatts I wouldn’t recommend face tatts keep your face clear.. but if you really want one then check with your job first I’m sure in their job policy and stuff they have if you can have tatts or piercings.

Dont be stupid, your tattoo will fade and look like trash in a few years. If that is you style good for it

Not if you work at DENNY'S

Definitely depends on company policy, the tattoo design, etc. Check with your employee handguide before getting it or if you have something to cover it when you're on the clock then it shouldn't be an issue.

If it’s not in company policy that you can’t have it, then no

If it is against your companies policy yes. Please do not get a face tattoo. I love tattoos and have several! But they DO NOT belong on your face. Ever. One day you will be 40-50 and wish to god you never did it. You won’t be able to have any job where you can’t show tattoos. Ever because you can’t cover it.

Speaking as some one who has been in charge of hiring in various positions. Please for the love of all that's holy, do not get any kind of tattoo above the neck.

Lol get the company logo

Well, if you work in an at will state you can be fired for any reason. But even if you don't, I think you can still be fired. Your company does not need a tattoo policy to fire you because tattoos are not protected against discrimination. And even if your current does not fire you, you will have a heck of a time finding you next job. I do not suggest getting a face tattoo.

Plz don’t do that. I’ve always said to keep tattoos where they can be covered. Places have different policies, and just say this job doesn’t last and the only job out there is one that doesn’t allow tattoos. Just my opinion.

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated.

Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

So embarrassed. I literally had one job to do today which was to schedule a client and give and take her paperwork when she came in.
