Tattoos Hurt Career

Can Having Tattoos Hurt Your Career?

The most straightforward answer is maybe. While some employers accept tattoos, others feel negative about them. I have been in the legal industry for years. To my surprise, I have seen a significant number of lawyers with tattoos. In the legal industry, it seems body appearance is not a predictor of performance. Here, they look for character, rather than body appearance. Because banning tattoos in an organization heightens the chance of losing top talents, I also suspect there are accountants or even doctors with tattoos.

Should You Get a Tattoo If You are Struggling to Get a Job?

As a lawyer, won’t advise you to go or not go for a tattoo. What I want you to keep in mind is there fifty-fifty chance of getting a job with a tattoo.

The work of a family doctor includes a wide range of clinical diversity, which requires extensive knowledge and erudition from a specialist. However, I believe that the most important thing for a family doctor is to be human because the cooperation and understanding between the doctor and the patient are crucial in ensuring successful health care. On my days off, I love being in nature. Since childhood, I have been passionate about playing chess and tennis. Whenever I have time off, I enjoy traveling around the world.
