“I would never have hired an employee with such a tattoo in my life,” – this is how my father (he is a man of the old school) used to say that when he saw people with body art somewhere. And all because for him, and I’m sure for many parents, tattoos seem to make you an unprofessional, uneducated and disabled person, and all the other stereotypes that society attributed to people with tattoos, until tattooed people became considered very cool.

However, the results of this new study will prove the opposite, that parents around the world, including my dad, are completely wrong about this. Not only are employers now indifferent to the presence of a tattoo on an employee, moreover, in some cases, a tattoo can even help a person get a job..

Wait how is this possible?

Researchers at the University of Miami and the University of Western Australia School of Business have set themselves the task of examining whether tattoos really affect employment the way we all think. Despite the fact that forty percent of the Millennial generation in the US have at least one tattoo. The American research organization Pew Research Center has published the results of its study, according to which seventy-two percent of those surveyed say that they usually hide their tattoos under their clothes. Thus, researchers from the University of Miami and the University of Western Australia Business School to find out how all the same tattoos affect the employment of tattooed people. However, during the study, scientists were able to conduct a study, only among those people who have visible tattoos, in total, about 2200 respondents were interviewed across the country..

Now answer only honestly: Do you have a tattoo or not??

Yes – at least one is No, no, I was always afraid to do it

According to the results obtained, the presence of a tattoo on the employee did not make any difference to the employer, and in some cases it even contributed to the fact that the tattooed person was able to get a job. “Not only do the statistics show that in the United States of America, the average salary and annual earnings of tattooed employees are the same as those for non-tattooed employees (See research results), but tattooed people also have equal opportunities. and the chances of getting a job, and in some cases even a little more “.

Yes, yes, please urgently send this along with a funny “middle finger” emoticon to every boring person you know, to someone who hypocritically accepts someone else’s “defiant” behavior. “Long-standing stereotypes associated with a person’s tattoo, and especially those that are visible, can blur over time, especially among young people who view body art as a natural and pervasive form of expression,” said lead author Michael French in a press release..

So, if you’ve been putting off going to a tattoo parlor to get this cute, lovable tattoo for fear of being judged by society, it might finally be time to rethink it. Maybe just wait for the moment when the tattoo heals and only then tell the parents about it.
