Cat I Like Tattos And Maybe 3 People Shirt

Tattoos are increasingly popular amongst women, with a number of female celebrities leading the charge. The International Tattoo Convention in London last week reported record numbers of women getting inked. Tattoo studios across the country are seeing waiting times climb and you can even buy tattoo moisturiser in Boots.We seem to have come a long way since scratching our heads over David Beckham getting Brooklyn across his lower back, and so has he – he has them everywhere. For him and other sporting or music celebs these tattoos actually help their career – they affirm and build their brand. But what about the little guy, the guy who just wants a job?

There is a growing acceptance that tattoos are not necessarily a marker of social or educational status. I was recently at a wedding and noted the lawyer next to me had a portrait of George Orwell on his arm, which is apt as Orwell himself was tattooed, on his knuckles. In fact, the list of intellectuals or public figures with tattoos stretches back – Roosevelt had a crest on his chest, Churchill had an anchor on his arm and King George V had a dragon on his arm. A dragon!A dragon on your arm probably would still impede some job prospects today, especially in the service sector. Research from the University of St Andrews last month showed many employers fear body art results in a perceived negative service experience.Of course, it depends on your job type. Whilst having a tattoo could land you that job in a bar in east London, if you’re applying for the Metropolitan police you can’t have any visible unprofessional tattoos. And rules in the NHS tend to vary but are generally around not having any visible ‘offensive’ tattoos. That all sounds fairly understandable. Disney parks are a little more Draconian – they may have lifted the 55-year ban on beards but visible tats are a strict no no.
