Off to work!
What is your country’s opinion on tattoos in the

work place? In general, America has become a lot more accepting in the last few years. It’s pretty common now a days to see professionals with exposed tattoos, as long as they aren’t on the person’s face or hands.

    This mask cannot isolate the virus

  • Caleña.

    ¡Hermosos tatuajes!

  • 유진youjin

    @Jilly Yeah yeah exactly right!

  • Miguel

    @Jilly Mexico is the same. Now the tattoos are more accepting in the jobs. But still there are a lot people that associate the tattoos with somethings bad.

  • David

    Same here. I would say the are people biased against tatoos but they are a minority. Cheers!

  • Manuel

    @Jilly yeah that's nice. I have got some tattoos and I have not had any problems.

  • Jilly

    @Manuel Ah, that’s nice😊

  • Jilly

    @Marii Ortiz oh! I think the English word is stereotypical 😊 Yeah I understand that. I know that tattoos have been associated with some bad things in the past and for some people it’s hard to get past that

  • Marii Ortiz

    Here in Colombia there are very "esteriotipos" about the topic. I don't know how I say it in English jajaja. So, Is very common that maybe one person can think that you're are a bad profesional or irresponsible person if you have a tattoo

  • Wilmer Rojas

    @moussa oh I'm talking with a master of history oh my God

  • Manuel

    Afortunadamente son mas aceptados que antes ♡

  • Wilmer Rojas

    @moussa you need read more about the history of America

  • Wilmer Rojas

    @moussa where are you from Nigeria?

  • Josue Lima

    @Jilly well, at least you can put a tattoo in the back and they never regret and fired.

  • Jilly

    @유진youjin Yeah I was reading that it’s illegal to be a tattoo artist in Korea unless you are a doctor right? Some older people tend to dislike tattoos here as well, but those people seem to be in the minority now. 😆🤷‍♀️

  • Josue Lima

    @Jilly well, for me, I like the tattoos, but, there's a problem here in Guatemala, The people are going to say you're a ganster, like "La Mara 18", "La Mara Salvatrucha". Honestly, it sounds horrible for a foreing, but well, in a office, they reject you and they don't hire you, just because you have a tattoo. Sad, but real.

  • Wilmer Rojas

    @moussa I can accept this but is incorrect because America is all the continent, I'm from Venezuela and I'm American too, but I'm from South America

  • Wilmer Rojas

    @Jilly yes all people say America when call to E.E.U.U

  • Jilly

    @Wilmer Rojas Yes you’re absolutely right! It’s a bad habit we have in the US, and its something I’ll be more mindful of👍😊

  • 유진youjin

    Wow it's interesting! In korea, many tattoo artists are illegal performers. And many people who are getting older think tattoo isn't good

  • Wilmer Rojas

    @Jilly heheh yes because America is all the continent like South, Center and North 😉

  • Jilly

    @Wilmer Rojas haha North America. I should have specified

  • Wilmer Rojas

    America or North America?

  • Jilly

    @keke Oh I see! Thank you!😊

  • Jose

    In Spain is more accepted since years. But exist profesions were is not usual see workers with tattos yet

  • keke
