What is your company policy with having tattoos that are visible?

What is your company policy with having tattoos that are visible?

I have a quarter sleeve, wrist tattoo and finger tattoo. My management doesn’t care

I don’t understand why this is even a question anymore.

No policy against tattoos showing, there is a rule about piercings but it’s not enforced. (I think it’s an older rule that is just still on the books)

Bring your full self

All are welcome except for throat tattoos, and anything offensive

None! I am a regional with several exposed tattoos including my hand. I guess the one tile we have is, if it’s offensive, it can’t be visible

Kelsey Ball none for us also. All of my tattoos are inspirational/beachy theme so there’s nothing inappropriate. Thank goodness. Now if I still work in healthcare, that would be a different story I’m sure.

Most places are OK as long as it's not offensive. I have visible tattoos on my arms and it's all good

Not allowed.

Brenda Andrews Sherrill not allowed at mine either

Brenda Andrews Sherrill all someone has to do is draw a small religious symbol anywhere within the tattoo and it must be allowed.

Ed Glomb that is absolutely wrong. Depending on the company policy that could mean you have to cover it even if they allow visible tattoos. While an employer cannot ban religious symbols in private work areas, they are allowed to ban the display or wearing of religious symbols in common areas unless they are required by your religion.

The only policy is nothing “inappropriate” can be visible. Nudity, foul language etc.

Robin Harris-Longnecker same^^ I have a sleeve.

As long as they aren’t offensive/political/ vulgar no issues. This is true in and out of the office or maintenance team

No Tattoos? Watch those resumes fade quickly

I have a sleeve and it's allowed.

I worked somewhere with a no visable tattoo policy. I have one on the inside of my wrist and don't generally cover it up. My regional didn't even notice it until almost 4 years in, while we were having a conversation about not hiring a maintenance person because of tattoos... I simply turned my wrist over...

Idc we gotta get out of this stigma. Drs have tats, nurses have tats. Cops, lawyers, judges have tats. Firemen, EMTs, city and government leaders. The list goes on. I'm hiring someone who can do their job and do it effectively, effectively, with good customer service skills, ability to handle pressure and make hard decisions and a whole slew of other responsibilities. Tattoos do NOT represent someone's work ethic or their ability to do their job.

100% allowed. Requiring people to cover up is archaic.

I agree that it’s 2023!!

As long as they aren’t offensive they should be fine! It is 2023!! Any company that doesn’t allow them needs to jump into this century fast

Just not offensive. I can’t remember if there’s any specifics on, say a face tattoo

But I know quite a few on the office side with visible tattoos and some with facial piercings (mostly noses)

As long as they aren't offensive tattoos

Can’t be offensive

Allowed as long as it’s not perceived as vulgar or offensive.

Geez we need to move past this.

None on the face! That’s basically it!

Mine allows my tattoos and septum piercing

15 years ago it was a hell no. Had to be covered but now I don't know many companies that care pending the above exceptions. I personally don't have any but I think my whole team does, no one cares anymore.

No neck, face or head tattoos. Visible ones must be in good taste meaning no nudity, sexual, or vulgarity. We also don’t allow facial piercings. At our luxury senior living communities, no visible tattoos or facial piercings.

I’m on the vendor side and 100% allowed.

Is this really even still a thing?

Texas flag sleeve no problem

Aaron Gonzales rock it!

We allow now

Not allowed

I don't know what our company handbook actually says. As a manager, I don't really care as long as the tattoos aren't vulgar. Face and neck tattoos may be a question mark for me, but I haven't actually encountered that scenario yet.

Yes

No “gang” signs, prison style crap. No face or neck tattoos. No face piercings. Although the inconspicuous nose ring pops up every now and again.

Nothing everyone almost has some kind of Tattoos and I have never had anybody refuse to lease because of a team member having a tat. I only do Class A lease ups

They are fine as long as they aren't offensive

Allowed

I will only quote the wisdom from "banana belt betty" from 2019: "Tattoos should actually make you more employable because it shows you can sit in place for hours while tiny needles are jammed into your skin and that's what every corporate meeting I've ever been in has felt like"

 

All is good

No face tats in the office at least and as long as they aren’t vulgar they’re fine. By banning tats all together companies/owners slash their local talent pool that is already thin and competitive.

As long as they aren’t offensive, thank goodness.

We allow visible tattoos but any tattoo displaying profanity, violence, nudity, or any other derogatory image isprohibited and must be covered. Facial tattoos are also not allowed.

They are allowed, just not on face or neck.

Lol 2 full sleeves here...

The style guide of my company says something to the affect of “we want you to be your true authentic self. Blah blah .. as long as your expression is workplace appropriate and not found to be hateful or offensive …” says it leaves workplace managers to their discretion.

I was told at an interview that my resume was outstanding and I was exactly what they were looking for, but that 2 inch wrist tat was an issue! Lol

As long as they are not offensive and you are not opposed to covering if needed. Always think team members should use their best judgment. We are professionals (most of us... lol) and should be willing to make guests comfortable in a professional setting.

Can’t wait to see this age group when they turn 50-60 nose’s rings, tattoos

Don't cheat! Simple, easy peasy

Had a leasing agent recently with face tattoos. We really don’t care as long as the work gets done

Nothing offensive, and no face tattoos. Otherwise visible tattoos are fine.

I don't think we're required to get one. I don't have any and nobody has said anything about it yet.

no piercings and no visible tattoos. So if you have sleeves you must wear long sleeves to cover them. funny this is mentioned. our company is cracking down. i don't have any so it's not an issue for me. but it must be a pain to those with tattoos.

Be yourself!

It's 2023, it's ok.

It’s in our handbook that they are ok and welcomed as long as they aren’t offensive.

Shouldn't even be a thing.
