Tats in the Boardroom

Although the tattoo culture has progressed into the mainstream here in the United States, some cultures do not share the same ideas. A young executive with a tattooed neck and full tattooed sleeves may face some skepticism in the workplace, especially if they are traveling abroad. "Now that I'm dealing with CEOs in corporations around the world, these skin markings just don't seem appropriate," says one man to the Winnipeg Sun about why he was removing his arm and calf tattoos. Especially in this economy, employees want to ensure their own success at work. The skull and crossbones tattoo on your arm from your teenage years may not give you the respect you deserve in the workplace. You can do your best to cover those tattoos, but laser tattoo removal is the only permanent fix.
