What if you had a Tattoo of Mark Sanchez?
Visible tattoos are unprofessional, full stop.
That's a good question that changes depending on where you live. The most common is that tattoos were heavily associated with crime in many places. Honestly it still is to a certain extent. You see prison and gang tattoos that convey messages about who you belong to or brag about what you have done.But why though.
Why is this the case? Is it a classist issue? Or does the corporate world require a kind of sleek banality where everyone is dressed in navy, black and grey? Does this more simple and common costume allow for people to focus on attaining profit more easily?
jesus christ.What ideal or message is so important to you to drastically harm your employment prospects at any job better than Starbucks barista?
But why though.
Went to Tokyo with friends and we could not go because two of them had tattoos.She is 100% right, and you will also never be able to visit a Japanese hot spring. If that's important to you.
I'm hoping to get one and i'm hoping to get into web design/coding, hopefully it won't be much of a problem.... just a tiny thing tho
Had no idea Japan is crazy about tatoos.
Any specific reason?

Well, to be fair, there are scientific studies indicating that having (a) tattoo(s) and certain habits/ character traits are strongly correlated. Many of these attributes are of the sort employers usually aren't that fond of.they are seen as unprofessional and yeah low class, it's a social stigma.
Source: Who gets tattoos? Demographic and behavioral correlates of ever being tattooed in a representative sample of men and women.A total of 14.5% of respondents had ever been tattooed, and 2.4% of respondents had been tattooed in the year before the interview. Men were more likely than women to report a tattoo, but the highest rates of tattooing were found among women in their 20s (29.4%). Men and women ages 20-39 were most likely to have been tattooed, as were men with lower levels of education, tradesmen, and women with live-out partners. Tattooing was also associated with risk-taking behaviours, including smoking, greater numbers of lifetime sexual partners, cannabis use (women only) and ever having depression (men only).
OP it sounds like you're not interested in working in the corporate world, so it shouldn't affect you too much.

You don't get to claim 'discrimination' for not getting a job due to your unprofessional appearance. You might as well claim discrimination after wearing a sweat-stained 'Female Body Inspector' T-shirt to a office job interview.
Nope it's a fact.
Not reallyIs it douchey I judge people with face tattoos?

Japan doesn't fucking play when it comes to tattoos. Not the first time I heard someone couldn't go into an onsen because of having a tattoo.
