Tattoo Removal and Jobs
Everybody complains about work but the reality is to survive you pretty much need a job. That means most of us fall into one of two groups: those currently without a job that want one and those with a job that want a better one. In today’s economy and hypercompetitive job market you need every edge you can get. One thing you don’t want holding you back is ink.
Your Boss Hates Your Tattoo
In all surveys one message comes out loud and clear: employers hate tats! You may love your tattoo, I mean, you chose to get it done and you chose the design so, yeah, that makes sense. But that doesn’t mean your boss feels the same way. This is especially true of tattoos in highly visible places, like your forearm, hands, ankles or neck. God forbid you have any tats higher than your neck. You can forget about meaningful employment in most cases if you do.
So you want a job, or you want a better job but you’ve got ink that’s holding you back. What do you do? That is the main question. You need to “Do” something about it. Here are your two choices: cover it up with clothing or get it removed permanently. To do nothing is an expensive choice. Think about all the money you aren’t making right now because you are being held back. Add that up over a lifetime and you could go buy a house somewhere. The sooner you take action the better off you will feel and the better off you will be financially too.
Covering It Up
Tatjacket is one idea that works for people who love their ink but need to cover it up during work hours. These are acylic sleeves that sell for 20 bucks a pair that you wear over your arm or lower leg. You can buy them off the company website: www.tatjacket.com
Taking It Off
If you make the decision to have your tat removed then this website is for you. Here you will find a ton, maybe two tons, of free information on all the available choices for tattoo removal. It isn’t just about laser, although that is the most expensive option. There are many products, some of which work and some of which don’t, as well as other procedures and methods for you to look into or think about.
As I put this site together feel free to shoot me some questions and I’ll see if I can help.
Good luck.

This is a good site but I just wanna say when I go for a job I use a cover up cream on my ink. I have tattoos on my hands and I can cover that up. Christine

Christine,
Thanks for the comment and kind words. I don’t know if it is a “good site” or not, I am just putting it together and figuring things out.
As far as your cover up strategy, if it works during the interview great, but it just proves what I am talking about: employers hate tats! What are you going to do once you get the job?

Its just the way it is. You love your ink and all the suits hates it. But you gotta play the game. or go hungry I guess.

Spike,
People, especially employers, can be very judgmental. It isn’t fair but that’s the way the world is.
Thanks for the comment.

When I was in highschool I thought it was very cool to have an older boyfriend who happened to be a tattoo atrist. I don’t want to say that all the tattoos I got in that time are bad but I did manage to aquire 7 tattoos that summer. Regardless now that I am in my 30′s and married to another man I feel like it is time to get rid of my past. I have been searching for the best way to go about this and wanted to tell you how informative I found your book! You always hear different stories from different people and you just never know who to believe but I feel I know exactly what my next step is thanks to you!
Thanks for the help

I wanted to write and thank you for such useful information. I have recently been offered a very well to do job, however it comes with one certain restriction….I have to remove the tatt on my wrist. I know most people would say I am stupid for changing me for the job, But this job is life changing for me so I am totally willing to do so. I was just going to go ahead and try with the expensive creams because I had heard it was less painful than the surgery. After reading your info I now know where not to waste my money!
Your book is awesome, keep it up

I was just looking for this information for a while. After six hours associated with continuous Google search, finally I got it within your web site. I wonder exactly what is the lack of Google method that do not rank this sort of informative websites in top of the list. The top web sites are usually full of garbage.

I’m impressed, I have to say. Really not often do I encounter a blog that’s each educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. Your concept is excellent; the issue is something that not enough individuals are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy that I stumbled throughout this in my search for one thing relating to this.

Thanks for the writeup. I definitely agree with what you are saying. I have been talking about this subject a lot lately with my father so hopefully this will get him to see my point of view. Fingers crossed!
