? about tattoo at work
I start a new job on Monday, and during my interview the lady told me that the owner of the company does not like tattoos, so they would need to be covered. I only have three small chicken footprints under my left ankle, small enough to be covered by a band aid, but of course I will need to make sure they are hidden when I start.
My question is, should I chance talking to someone about allowing mine to go uncovered since it is so small and I will work in a cubicle with no customer relations whatsoever? I think I should at least bide my time and get a feel of the place, and the owner, before I bring it up but I can't help wondering if going through a box of band aids a month can be avoided.
Grr. This is what I get for having a sentimental moment shortly after turning 18- a tattoo I have to cover up!
Re: ? about tattoo at work
Isn't this location usually covered by shoes/dress slacks anyway?
But I agree - if they say have it covered, then cover it. Starbucks has the same policy, or at least they did when I worked there.
Ditto. This isn't something I would push when just starting a new job. That's not an impression you want to make right off the bat.
ETA: I have 3 tats and all 3 are covered at work. My third one is on my foot and I have to deal with it. I have to pay extra attention when I buy work shoes. A tattoo isn't a hill I want to die on, especially if I'm starting a new job.
Right, ITA that I shouldn't say anything when I first start, but my question was whether I should broach the subject after having established myself. Do you think it should be a negotiable subject in an office like that?
PP, the tattoo is right under my ankle, so it shows in most high heels and flats, but not in tennis shoes. So, I'll def have to stock up on the band aids.
totally not related.
but i love your tattoo.
i can tell from here that i love it.
Haha, thanks!
No, I would not broach the subject with them. They made it clear at the beginning of employment that visible tattoos are not allowed. You accepted their conditions when you accepted the job.
I definitely would not bring it up since they specifically mentioned the office policy at the initial interview meeting. What about Dermablend makeup for coverup if the bandaid idea is not appealing?
The company could feel deceived if you decide to revisit the idea later & other employees may be adhering to the policy themselves so I don't think I would mention it to them either.
Can we see a picture of the tattoo?
I'm shocked it's even an issue. I live on the other side of the Atlantic where it wouldn't be challenged. Even in Starbucks where they have dreadlocks, lip piercings, all sorts! I love seeing tattoos, especially if they are really well done.
