We are having a problem in America with people not being able to get employment because of tattoos on their face and neck....

These people are now filings for benefits and we as tax payers have to foot the bill....

How is this being handled in the UK?

PS you know the real problem is people won't employ them? Tattoos are a part of culture now.

They supposed to just die so you don't have to pay for their benefits or something?

I can see employers starting to say no tattoos, it happened once before in the 80's & 90's.

Hmmm. We’d end up with a pretty high percentage of unemployed in Wales if this happened.

Im covered in tattoos im also a 24/7 career for my partner when she goes through her bad spells and some of the things i do is nobodys business and im still considered unemployed. You know what i do it for nothing, but i get £65 a week for carering for someone that can sometimes not walk at all and has some really bad fits... it looks like an epileptic fit but shes fully aware of everything amd feels every second of it unlike epileptics...

We dont like we just exist

Pretty much the same. You won't find many jobs that can accept face tatoos and aren't minimum wage.

There was a guy who spoke about this on Instagram, he had a face tattoo and has full sleeves and spoke of how every single job he applied for he got turned down at the interview stage and he could tell they were judging him from his appearance.

And one interviewer mentioned if it wasn’t for the tattoos he’d have the job.

He ended up opening his own tattoo shop and it’s really successful, can’t remember the guys Instagram name Kian or Kiaran something and he had like half a million followers. Worked out for him in the end!

We advised both our kids to avoid tattoos that you can't cover up.

People don't want doctors, teachers, lawyers to have teardrops tattooed on their face and love and hate on their knuckles.

I'd never get a tattoo now. I considered it for a while but when I discovered you can't go swimming for at least four weeks afterwards I went off the idea.

I like the look of a lot of tattoos but some are ill advised to say the least.

It's true having a facial tattoo may make things harder but if you want to make something of yourself in life a bit of ink on the face shouldn't prevent it.

You maybe rule yourself out of a few professions however self esteem and body confidence and being happy with who you are is what really matters and can go a very long way in the world.

It depends on the job. Some have a strict tattoos must be covered policy others are more tolerant and accept that tattoos don't effect the way a person does their job.

Yup.

I don’t have any tattoos myself and won’t ever get any but I know plenty who have them and hold down a good job.

Don’t think I’ve ever come across a doctor/nurse/lawyer with a face/neck tattoo though.

I do agree also having tattoos don’t affect the way a person does their job. Also with ink becoming increasingly popular these days I’d like to see what will happen with jobs that have strict rules on tattoos.

I would have assumed he was self employed when he had it done and not banking on passing interviews in future. The fact that he become self employed makes a lot of sense to me.

The army changed its rules about 3 years ago and the navy changed theirs 2 months ago- you can have neck and hand tats now as long as they’re not visable from the the front in an open necked polo shirt.

The solution would be to hire the person but stipulate that they have to wear make up or a band aid to cover up their tattoos while working....

But they in no way should be able to collect benefits... they are not sick

Hubby is a tattooist. He has his head tattooed which is ongoing work. However he has no desire nor ever will tattoo his face even though he’s in the industry.

Like everything else, different folks different strokes. He personally refuses to tattoo faces of a client asks

So they can get a job I'm guessing. When I worked in a call centre I had to cover up a tattoo on my ankle as their dress code was no visible tattoos even though we weren't customer facing.

Where I work now the rules are less strict, even though its a much more responsible role.

I wouldn't get tattoos on my nrct or face. Whilst tattoos have become more mainstream there is still stigma related to certain tattoos and certain areas of the body that get tattooed. I don't know how we break that down.

Sin - I'd never have my face or neck tattood and every tattoo I have can easily be covered for work.

While tattoos are more accepted it should be common sense to know that employers are not going to look favourably on potential employees who have tattoos plastered all over their heads and neck.

Interesting this one - there was an American model who had full day of the dead style tattoos all over his body and face - he was a stunning work of art but he killed himself last year, and there was a male porn star who had the side of his face and neck tattooed who did the same. I am not saying they had mental health problems but they both put themselves in extreme situations which were not reversible and we all know that unless you have a very thick hide, it doesn’t take a lot of rejection before you feel low.

And also as the only growth industries in the valleys appear to be drug dealing and tattooing what future would there be without the full range of joined up writing? Incidentally I don’t see many welsh language tattoos so there’s an idea!

I have a neck tattoo, it’s a cancer ribbon for my grandma who died of throat cancer, I’ve nevet had anyone judge me by it and can’t imagine it holding me back, I’ve had people praise me for it which although sweet, isn’t why I got it, I have another cancer ribbon on my forearm too for another family member, again it’s never brought any negativity, maybe I’m just lucky but I don’t see the problem, when I had the one on my neck done my boss told me how much he liked it and we work with the public directly

Love them and would employ them as long as they looked and smelled clean and everything else was good including attitude. In fact have done.

But that's only in a certain type of job.

Won't go into details but i have mental health problems, i'm heavily tattooed and that is because tattooing myself became a way of claiming back my body for myself.

The only negatives that come about from being heavily tattooed are other people reactions and prejudices (and if people are like that anyway at least they reveal themselves to me pretty quickly and i haven't invested anything much in them so it's also a bonus). Overall i am very happy that i spent time and money on myself and gave myself a value, it boosted me to look after myself better in general.

Maybe he didn't have support? That is the biggest barrier to getting well when it comes to mental health i think.

Dunno. First started getting them 14 years ago while a housewife and my partner was working, then i became a carer and my carees aren't arsed because they just want caring for. In niche markets i am a thing so it's helped there.

I've spent the past 2 years studying and gained 21 qualifications. Got a few more years to go but if i excel in my field i feel it's unlikely to hinder me at all.

Did about 10 in psychology as i have a lot of knowledge about that anyway and just wanted qualifications, then via those courses i learned a little about biology and cells, DNA and found that way more interesting so moved into that field instead and that is where i want to work.

It should. Not getting a job that you're totally qualified for and the best candidate for just because of your tattoos is bullshit. It doesn't alter how good you are at the job, how professional you are, or how qualified you are. All it does is tell you about the prejudices of the people interviewing you.

People make judgements based on appearance and that's not always a bad thing. Either he's not aware of that fact which calls into question his intelligence, or he doesn't care which will have him marked down as a non-conformist. Conformity is part of working in big organisations.

There's certainly a type of personality that can cope with the inevitable structure of a large organisation. A lot of what schools do is really there to start the moulding process and has nothing or little to do with education.

Probably. I started skipping the last two years of school when they started reteaching us what we'd already learned in previous years...can't believe they had run out of education.

When I interview someone, I'm looking for skills, ability and determination to learn and personality. Whether they have visible tattoos is of no importance.

"When I interview someone, I'm looking for skills, ability and determination to learn and personality. Whether they have visible tattoos is of no importance. "

And when I interview someone , I’m looking for someone who will resonate well with my customers , who will work well with the rest of the team , who isn’t full of themselves , who will happily stick to the tasks required and above all someone who doesn’t need to go out of their way to make an impression with garish make up and tattoos all over their faces .

So you wouldn't employ your own wife then?

One of my best installation engineers has tattoos on his hands, neck and face. He is one of my first choice engineers as his customer service skills are second to none. This guy works all over Europe, and while I admit that on first meeting clients can be a little taken back, he quickly wins them over with his abilities, openness, language skills and personality

Here in the states also... but I don’t think I’ve seen anyone with a neck tattoo or face tattoo at the bank...

Also to clarify..... I’m not speaking about neck tattoos on the back of the neck... those can be covered by long hair. I’m talking about the neck tattoos on the throat or side of the neck..

A few tasteful tattoos are certainly acceptable, but if you have visible or extreme tattoos and they prevent you getting a job then I have no sympathy.

To keep in my profession over the years I work fucking hard in and out of work, go on multiple courses, dress smartly, take a load of shit.

I have been through two redundancies, started several businesses and if I walked around with pictures all over my face and arms I would have got nowhere.

Now let me say before you diss me that I defend anyone's right to have tattoos or piercings, dress weird (maybe that is just me) or other body mods, but don't expect employers to bend over backwards to have their customers scared off.

Employment rates are high but it is such a competitive world out there that you need to get your priorities right first.

Rant over

TBH I was already thinking you meant on the front of the neck

It seems so antiquated prejudices towards body art

"I’m covered in tattoos and wanting more, only place I won’t get done is my face or neck

I know plenty of people who have their faces/necks etc tattooed and hold down pretty steady jobs "

Holding down a job is ok, but should somethibg happen to render them on the dole. That is where the problem lies.

"Its their own fault if they can't get a job because of a face tattoo, gotta be stupid to get one on your face in the first place."

The question could be asked, should they be allowed benefits as effectively they have made themselves unemployable.

"I really don’t care what a person wants to do with their bodies.....

But if you Can’t make a life choice and expect society to pay for it...

If you have a face tattoo and are self employed.. great

If you have a face tattoo and want benefits... not cool

Should we just let people starve then?

What is the solution?

The solution would be to hire the person but stipulate that they have to wear make up or a band aid to cover up their tattoos while working....

But they in no way should be able to collect benefits... they are not sick

Why should they have to cover up???"

If you need a job, you are told you need to cover up to get it.

What do you do?

Your criteria are insufficient to justify the refusal. If the employer had a problem with black people then the fact that they pay the wages doesn't mean they get to decide that black people can't work there.

Saying you can’t work here because you have tattoos is borderline discrimination.

How does a neck tattoo stop say for example a brain surgeon doing his job?

It doesn’t.

Think some people need to move on and live in the modern world.

That’s one way of looking at it , and there are many other ways to see it from others point of view .

If you have a brief representing you in court , and he has face tattoos you may feel differently . Especially if the jury and the judge go with the team that don’t have a brief who looks like he just escaped from prison !

When we represent ourselves , we do so with a level of intent . The way we dress , do our hair , and ultimately if we choose to have tattoos , them too .

If we want to represent ourselves in a way that may cause offence to potential employers , and can’t get a job as a result of it , it’s no ones fault but ours .

To say we should just move on and live in the modern world is a cop out . The fact is that if an employer doesn’t want to be represented by someone that doesn’t reflect the company policy then that’s that . Simple .

In my profession neck tattoos are fine but face ones aren’t. They’re fine with tattoos but with working in the jewellery business it simple as you need to look professional. And tattoos on the face would generate a downfall in business. (They genuinely paid a company to find out if someone with face tattoos would make impact on customers decisions)

If someone gets a face tattoo and can't get a job, who is to blame the employer for not wanting to give a job to them or the person who made themselves unemployable!

tattoos do not limit the amount of knowledge and experience that people have. I work in a corporate environment and many visible tattoos doesn’t make me rubbish at my job.

Even when I started as an ‘employer’ over thirty years ago , I never gave it a second thought .

I’ve employed gay guys , lesbians , young , old , tattooed and not tattooed , pretty much every type of person you could name .

If I felt any type may offend my clientele I wouldn’t employ them , unless my clientele were offended by someone being homosexual , then I would hope they would understand that their thinking is at fault , but if they don’t like tattooed faces , I can empathise with that .

When we represent ourselves , we do so with a level of intent . The way we dress , do our hair , and ultimately if we choose to have tattoos , them too .

If we want to represent ourselves in a way that may cause offence to potential employers , and can’t get a job as a result of it , it’s no ones fault but ours .

Imagine having a brief in court that is black but everyone else sided with the white brief.

How ould that look? that would be worse than discrimination.

tattoos do not limit the amount of knowledge and experience that people have. I work in a corporate environment and many visible tattoos doesn’t make me rubbish at my job. "

You’ve also made an assumption by saying that people with face tattoos look like criminals.

How naive and judgemental are you?

Slightly disgusting of you to group everyone with a face tattoo as an ex convict.

"Couple guys in the same industrie as me have been refused work in certain places for giving tats on their necks.

Employers being stupid in my eyes.

But the employer is paying their wage, the employers client say what goes and doesn't.

Just as it is personal choice to get body art, it is also personal choice not to allow it in his/ her company

My criteria is insufficient to justify a refusal????

Their company, their rules. It seems very simple to me.

So why can't they make rules about race or sexuality then? Their company, their rules. They pay the wages.

Why should they?

Why should they change rules or make them just to give soneone with a face or neck tattoo a job when they can give it to someone without.

I see you don't actually have an answer. One is discrimination, one isn't. But the reasons are not logical. Some forms of prejudice we allow, others we don't. No logic.

Oh come on !

The tattoo is something the person chose to have .

The colour of ones skin is not a choice and unless the job is as a sex worker , I can’t see why one would refuse a job based on someone’s sexuality .

Acting on sexuality is a choice. Some people just don't like people that aren't monogamous hetrosexuals. They don't want to see them, find the sight of them repulsive.

That’s as maybe , but I’ve never asked anyone about their sexuality when interviewing them , and I’ve interviewed hundreds of people over the years .

You never met a person and accurately predicted they were homosexual before they confirmed it?

Even when I started as an ‘employer’ over thirty years ago , I never gave it a second thought .

I’ve employed gay guys , lesbians , young , old , tattooed and not tattooed , pretty much every type of person you could name .

Today I can, I do think that there's a hypocrisy in the prejudices we do and don't accept. I think that in future we should be more open minded.

"Saying you can’t work here because you have tattoos is borderline discrimination.

How does a neck tattoo stop say for example a brain surgeon doing his job?

It doesn’t.

I’m not saying they make anyone rubbishy at their job .

I’m saying there is a certain social stigma attached to tattoos on people’s faces .

Anyone who has a tattoo on their face is saying ‘ fuck you ‘ to those who are offended by them . So when those same people are in a position to choose whether to employ the person who is saying ‘ fuck you ‘ , and they choose not to , they shouldn’t be surprised really .
