Tattoos = unemployed?

Im thinking of getting a tattoo on my left hand

Will i have troubles finding a job with it? Or is there less of a stigma around tattoos nowadays?
Yea, dumb decision.
Check your company's policy.
Depends what field you're going into


I'm going to be honest and tell you just get one on your arm that can be easily hidden if needed.

I think you'd still have troubles finding a job. I'm getting arm tatts and just planning on long sleeves to hide them if I do find myself in a work environment.
We'll honestly if you're white, you can always cover it with makeup if it's an issue
Think of what skin area is covered by a short sleeve polo shirt. That's where I'd get a tattoo. Yes there are still stigmas
depends on the size, quality, picture.
And where you want to apply.

Depends on the tattoo, like if it is flashy and/or controversial it could be a more serious problem
Need more information no one can concisely answer this without knowing what field your in and the size of the tattoo
It all depends on the tattoo and the placement. Although you should think about the industry in which you are/will work in and their approaches on tattoos.
I would definitely check if it's ok with where you work. Thinking long term you may want to consider getting it in a place that's easier to hide just in case future employers have a problem with it.
In my experience no one gives a shit really unless they are obscene.

Yeah true.
just put the tat on your ass

then no one can see unless u are a nude model
Just avoid hands & neck and places that can't be hidden with clothes ! you'll face a lot of stigma if you're applying for some corporate/office jobs ..etc
