what is it ?

I think it's okay if you work in a tattooparlour...

I would request a transfer to a different store as the simplest way out for them

If its a client then you don't have to follow their policy but they don't have to hire you either; transfer solves that one.

if its your own company policy then complain that long sleeves are a hazard and ask for a transfer, if they can't read between the lines complain to OSHA about long sleeves

Thank You

and i did do osha already ... jumping the ball a bit yes

and  what world do you live in that only people that are in jail are the only ones with tats now days?...

btw is it true that you need a different sitting for each color?

Hij vraagt of je per verschillende kleur in je tattoo apart naar de tattooshop bent moeten gaan.

tattoos can be classed as racial discrimination. numerous ethnic groups regard tattoos to be a core part of their cultural identity and as such refusing to emply someone on the grounds of a tattoo can be challenged as discriminatory.

It's just that certain public jobs depend on how you look.
Most people don't mind tattoo's and/or piercings, but there will always be those who connect them to criminal activity. And there's always parents who think teachers and child care workers shouldn't work with those extra's in/on their body's. As children may say these people as rolemodels and some parents will always be conservative.

Piercings in my opinion are not as big an issue, as they can be taken out when you grow older and weary of them or it just complicates jobsearch. It's one of the reasons I never decided to get a tattoo. Some of the jobs I desire in the future, mostly front office jobs, will be much harder to get with a tattoo on my forearm. Plus, when I look at older people with tattoo's, it's just embarassing.

So, it's still a freedom of choice to get a tattoo or piercing, just don't complain when people take offense to them in the workplace. Get a back office job and you can do whatever the hell you want.

I read an article about a stewardess who got fired for having millimetered her hair. It's complany policy that extravagant hairdo's are not allowed. Thinking ahead is quite normal here. If you desire a job, you should sometimes be prepared to make sacrifices.
