Tattoos In The Workplace

I found a great blog called What To Wear To Work. It is a great blog that talks about the do`s and don`ts of dress code in the workplace. They have good informative articles such as Peek-a-Boo … I See Too Much of You: Sheer, See-through Clothes and the HR Dress Code,  Thongs and HR Dress Code Policies, I see London, I see France, I see Bob’s Underpants! and Tattoos in the Workplace: The HR Dress Code.

Today tattoos have become such a huge trend but still remains a taboo in many workplaces as employees struggle to express their personality while obeying to workplace tattoos policies.

Nearly two out of ten Canadians have a tattoo or have had body piercing done 18% of Canadians have a tattoo or have had some part of their body pierced.

That means there’s a lot of tattoo working ladies and men are sporting their tattoos at the workplace.

Reactions to tattoos in professional situations seem to be relying on the company and the employer. Even though tattoos are becoming more acceptable in the workplace, there are still some customer service company that are worried that employee with tattoos can affect their business. These types of businesses should have a policy on tattoos and body piercing where they clearly explain the company rules. Employers with dress code or other policies should review often and make sure all managers are regularly applying the policies.
