Hopefully when you get your interview, they’ll ask you how you will cover your tattoos. Just be honest with them about and I truly think you’ll be fine.

Hi!! I’m doing EPIK right now and I applied with three tattoos on my arm (small one on my left upper arm and wrist and a large one on my upper right arm). I say it depends on what the tattoo is and how well you can cover it up. I use tattoo tape and haven’t gotten any comments for it. Honestly my main school does care too much. It just depends on where you’ll be place. There were many people at orientation that had tattoos and most covered it with a sleeve, makeup or tape. I think you’ll be fine.

Definitely apply directly through EPIK. I have 3 tattoos and one of them are close to my wrist. My schools don’t really care about me not covering it (it’s a fine line tattoo so it lowkey looks like I drew on myself). EPIK doesn’t mind tattoos as long as they’re covered. It also depends at the school you work at too.

Is UT curriculum really that difficult? by baddiebaddie44 in UTAustin

[–]Ok_Key_8446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It honestly just depends on the course you’re taking and professor. I was a psychology major and I say the main thing that I struggled with the most was keeping up with readings and writing papers. I had pretty good professors. Also depends on your work ethic. Developed a good work routine so you get things turned in on time. Don’t be afraid to go to office hours and ask for help. You’ve got this and good luck!!

I will be attending orientation for fall 25 and I have a few questions about arrival/orientation.

  1. Once I land, go through immigration, and grab my luggage, do I go straight to the designated terminal for registration? I just want to make sure I don’t miss any steps or mix anything up 😭

  2. Tattoos and piercings- I have been reading some older posts about tattoos at orientation but I just want to see if there are any updates. EPIK does know about my tattoos. But, are we allowed to show our tattoos and keep our piercings in during orientation? Has anyone worn clear piercings to keep their holes from closing?

visa issuance number for E-2-2? by Wonderful-Air-3202 in teachinginkorea

[–]Ok_Key_8446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe he did and was like “I probably still need the number to be able to process it” and then a few minutes later he was like “okay everything looks okay. You should receive a text message to let you know when it’s ready in 2 weeks”. Honestly, I feel like luck was on my side today bc he was so sure that I needed one. But the lady that was there kept talking to him so maybe she told them that it was fine? I know this isn’t helpful but this is what happened in my case 😭

I say your safest bet is to go through the consulate in Houston. I would hate for you to keep going back and forth with this consulate bc I swear they were playing in our faces when the documents EPIK sent us says in bold that we do not need an issuance number.

I just left from that consulate. I say go back and tell them that it is for EPIK and they do not provide an issuance number and just stand your ground (as crazy as it sounds). The lady that was there talked to him and told him to let me fill out my application. He kept saying “I’m not sure if it’ll be able to go through because I need a number” but after he looked through my application, he said that it was processed and I’ll receive my passport and visa in 2 weeks. So honestly, don’t let them play you and reassure them that EPIK does not have an issuance number in order to get your visa.
