Hi nerds! So I've always been interested in tattoos but never interested enough to get one until recently. I've also recently gotten a new ear piercing (helix so still pretty tame) and recently bought some fake gauge earrings from Etsy. However, I work in a pretty conservative work place. For example, the receptionist wore a skirt one day and her ankle was wrapped with a bandage. When we asked her what's wrong, she just said she had a tattoo she didn't want to show. I know other people have tattoos but they just wear long sleeves. Just as an example of how conservative it is: My boss told us a story about how they interviewed a girl who had sleeve tattoos and the sleeves on her shirt rolled up so her tats were on full display. She was a totally qualified candidate but she "couldn't be put in front of a client" so she wasn't hired. My boss, btw, is married to a guy with sleeve tats who works in the same industry we do. Hypocrite win Do you all feel "judged" about your tattoos? Do people comment or say negative things? And what kind of workplaces do y'all work in?
