hey guys II see RG here today we're gonna talk about tattoos in the
workplace hey guys ECR G here today we're going to be
talking about tattoos in the workplace now I know this is probably a common
topic that's applicable to everybody or almost everybody because more people
than ever have tattoos tattoos are becoming more and more commonplace I
remember growing up when waiters and waitresses didn't have tattoos net and
then ultimately they started getting them now I don't want you serving my
food unless you have a tattoo so you know it's it's all over the place I
remember in the Apple Store growing up this was not that long ago 10 years ago
or maybe a little bit longer 10 years ago
employees would not openly be wearing would have tattoos everybody was clean
especially those retail stores or retail places and then it just started changing
rapidly now everyone has tattoos and it's just commonplace that's not even to
be looked at or questioned you know but back in the day I'm not really gonna
detail the history of tattoos because one I don't know it but I just remember
not that long ago people were not getting tattoos and now it's very
commonplace we could go into all the things probably Instagram has had a lot
to do with that people realizing that you know there are different types of
tattoos than just roses and sailors and pirates the stuff of that nature I mean
I've never thought I would have a tattoo but I have tattoos and I plan on getting
more so this is a very applicable video to that so tattoos in the workplace how
are they viewed well like everything comes down to your company culture but
most companies now are getting to a place where Millennials are moving up
the food chain moving up the ladder you know sometimes they're even the CEO but
they're definitely in managerial positions and can help dictate
the culture of a workplace environment so Millennials tend to be very relaxed
when it comes to tattoos you know I guess in very important situations where
you're wearing a suit you want them to be covered up but for most time every
day they're fine to have out a lot of money a workplace is now you know
they're more on the casual side of things not even business casual our
workplace in clinical research at my place of employment is business casual
so that's like a college shirt and khakis for guys but collared shirt I
mean not going there with a polo sometimes you know tucked in of course
but some people don't wear colored shirt they may wear like a nice sweater in the
in the winter or fall time and you know some pants some slacks or something with
that and that's fine too I think it's really lacks the environment and I think
it's becoming more and more lacks buy advice on tattoos though is I would only
get them and places that can be easily covered up if you're wearing like a suit
or long sleeves or something and that's pretty much most of your body so that's
a pretty safe recommendation but I don't know if I don't think it would be good
if someone came in with face tattoos I think we're still we're not there yet we
could be getting there in the future but we're not there yet or neck tattoos
there's still a little taboo so I would stay away from those if you're thinking
about getting tattoos everything else should be relatively fair game or hand
tattoos don't I mean there are different rules for guys and girls on this girls
getaway with a whole lot more they can get away with all the types of piercings
and tattoos and stuff and guys can but if you're a guy just do your best to get
them in places that can be easily covered up if you're wearing a long
shirt you're wearing business casual and you'll be fine I've seen people in the
office one guy I know how to sleep so on casual Fridays whenever you wear a
t-shirt or something you can see his tattoos or even not on casual Friday if
he was wearing a polo you know really just comes down to your workplace
environment your workplace culture the people around you
and your boss tattoos just aren't that big a deal anymore
and I particularly like them I love looking at people's artwork and I if I
was in the position to have it my way everyone you know you shouldn't feel any
way about having a tattoo it should just be a non consideration so you comment
down below I know everybody's industry is different everybody's cultures can be
a little bit different tech tech in Silicon Valley can definitely be a
little bit more progressive I'm sure if you work for a digital marketing company
they're a little bit more liberal and progressive on these issues on tattoos
and piercings you know corporate America can be a little more conservative but
even as Millennials move up that food chain we're changing things on the daily
so you can see very soon we're pretty much everywhere you know tech people
with tattoos are there I mean I know they are already because you've got
Millennials coming out starting companies and being CEO so that's gonna
affect the culture and their people are all leveled with tattoos so I think it's
it's basically well you know what one of those things where it's a non-factor at
this point I'd say I mean you you see where the world is going you see where
people are going you see where we already are there's there's no turning
back on tattoos at this point so it's it's safe to say that you know you can
get you can get your tattoo just do your best to put them in places that can be
easily covered so you guys comment down below what are your one of your takes on
tattoos in the workplace if you work in a place where you know it's either
they're really strict about it or they're not strict about it maybe
there's some field I'm thinking about here where it's not in your best
interest to have tattoos like at all maybe medicine or something I don't know
but then again you're in a long white coat I don't see that being an issue so
