Tattoos

I think that it makes sense. If you are going to an interview and have tattoos, you should cover the majority of them up. If you have a bunch of tattoos you don’t look very civilized. If you have one or two tattoos people shouldn’t be so judgmental, but if you have a lot of noticeable or large tattoos it makes sense to cover them up. It can count as discrimination. For example, if someone won’t hire you because you’re black, or won’t let you play a sport because you’re small it’s pretty much the same thing. Although I do think if you have a lot, you’re less likely to get hired. Business owners have the right to hire who they want, but it’s wrong for them to judge people just because they have a tattoo. If I owned a business I wouldn’t be rude or impolite to the person. I would kindly say well, those ones need to be covered so please wear long pants etc.  Standards now are different because back then it wasn’t as common to have a tattoo. Now there are kids that are 16 who have tattoos but back then, it would be more of a surprise. I believe people shouldn’t be so strongly judgmental, but also believe you need to act mature and ethical when you want a job.
