great reply christinab! I have 6 myself...and all are very personal and represent a part of my life. are they coverable? YES. I am a teacher, but the school district that I am at has no policy. Quite a few school districts are taking the policies out....too many of the kids coming out of the teaching colleges have them now. Does this mean I am going to be flashing my tramp stamp at my students? HELL NO. I didn't get my first until I was 32! I knew exactly what I was getting myself in to! you know.....what I do hate is people who are judgemental about someone because of something on their skin. a tattoo does not make you less educated, more trashy, less valued...i see people who fit that bill perfectly without ANY skin art!
Yes....the art does make a difference. I have seen some very sexy, high quality work. I have also seen some very bad work...NOT SO SEXY lolol. You get what you pay for! Would I get more? HELL YES!!! A lot more? no! but I do have several areas in mind......
Thanks, doll.
One of my favourite examples is an interview with a CEO of an entire company. She takes her suite jacket off, and her arms are done in beautiful FULL sleeves on both arms. She looked absolutely fabulous, and no one in her office knows. She wears long suit jackets all day long! haha!
I actually noticed a lot more of the younger teachers when I was in HS with foot/ankle tattoos, wrist tattoos, some on their back...
Never too noticeable, but I was always fairly observant.
I'm very happy the policies are going. It's really an unnecessary bias.
Oh jeez, the bagel shop around the corner from my job has this like 5'5"/5'6", tattooed (neck, too!), pierced guy, a tad scruffy, but...HE'S SO CUTE. Everytime I go in I can't help but blush. He always makes sure to try to help me if others are working behind the counter, and he seems fairly interested, but I'm too chicken. lol.
I hope you show us when you get some more work done.
I'd love to see.
