You do you OP. Could just make you stand out from the crowd as someone who is bold to express herself without fear of judgement.

If I were your client, and I forget your name after an important presentation, I would potentially refer to you as the girl with the cool tattoo 😊

I personally have several visible tattoos on my arms (wrists and forearm) and never have I ever received any negative comments from clients or firm leadership. I do work for a mid-size firm who prides itself on being unique, but I was recruited by some of the Big 4 even with these visible tattoos. In my opinion, if someone, even in corporate America, is going to judge a person for tattoos rather than the value they are adding to a firm/project, then I don’t want to be associated with such close-minded individuals

And I wear it with pride and love women who are bold :-) always such admiration for strong women

Thank you for the replies. I've found that I keep them covered for the first five or so meetings but tend to show them more if I feel I've built enough trust. I know it might seem counterintuitive but I don't like when people stare. Like you, @SC1 mine are on my forearms and don't feel like I've been judged but who knows what people say when I'm not there ?! 🤷‍♀️

In this day and age a tattoo is perfectly fine, so long as it isn’t offensive and located on more liberal area of your body like your forehead for example

I think it's cool. I personally would get a tattoo because I am too afraid of needles. I don't think anybody should judge people in the corporate for having tattoos.

@OP: I just assumed you were talking about people at work since you posted it here

A woman on my team got a tattoo on her wrist. My boss reacted with disappointment - “why’d she have to do that? She just killed her career.” Perhaps dramatic but he’s conservative and old school - and this is in Denver. Some people judge.

Yes, at work — specifically consulting. I left it fairly open. I ask because I have a lot of very large tattoos and always cover them in front of clients. Summer is coming up and it's my least favorite time of the year, and I'm curious how people feel about it.

I have a tatt, I’m feminine and no seems to be judgmental about it

I’ve had to chat with my analysts about their tattoos. One had one on her cleavage and client complained it was distracting, a gentleman had one of a girl on a stripper pole which I told him was inappropriate to expose and one had a tramp stamp where every time she bent over it was exposed. Other than that, I have no problems with any of my team having tattoos exposed

A1, I don’t blame you with those situations. Anything offensive or inappropriate should be covered up. Luckily all of mine are rather small and have sentimental meaning, so they might be easier to accept

I love tattoos (especially guys with tattoos). I have some but they’re hidden by my shirts so no one knows. I think visible is cool but depends on placement and content of it No hand or finger tattoos (not my gig in general lol)

Your company may have a specific policy regarding tattoos.

Yuck don’t like at all

Don't like and think they are trashy especially if visible in a client setting. Just being honest--I'm aware of the cultural bias and grew up in a time and community where tattoos were associated with manual labor and not professional settings. I equate showing a tattoo with someone wearing a short skirt and extremely high heels to the office and consider it a bit of bad judgement in how one chooses to express himself/herself. Yes someone's work should stand on their own, but there are certain things that can discount this work in the client's eyes depending on the client's background. This has become more lenient in the last 10 years and I expect it will continue in the next 10 years.
