Beauty is in the eye of the beholder – some love tattoos and believe they are works of art and others simply despise them. Whatever your view of their aesthetic appeal, however, as they have become increasingly common, tattoos have also become a dilemma in many workplaces. There have been reports of people with a tattoo on show not being offered a job or promotion, for example, and others allege that their employment has been terminated as a result of their inking. This is backed up by findings from Acas, which has stated that “individuals with visible tattoos/piercings appeared to be stereotyped and faced stigma”.
