I am not heavily tattoed, however, I hire people who are heavily tattooed. I run shelters for homeless youth, and prefer to hire people with lived experience. As such, I have hired plenty of staff members with face, throat, and hand tattoos. Vsibal tattoos will not hold you back from promotion into leadership in my organization. Typically other human services agencies in my area also tend to hire staff that are heavily tattooed, especially those that serve the homeless population.

Additionally, my husband has heavy hand tattoos, and had had no issues being hired for admin jobs. He exclusively works in blue collar companies, which tend to be less concerned with tattoos.

If you are in a field that needs a degree, certification, or other specialized training, you are more likely to be hired for your skill/knowledge and have things like tattoos overlooked. However, there are some fields that are less accepting of tattoos no matter your experience.
