    I have a cross tattoo with barb wire going all the way around my wrist will they let me cover it with a watch or sweat band? Or is that a no hire thing?

    I worked for a company with a "no tattoo" policy, so I wore a long sleeved shirt to the interview and was hired. Made sure both wrists were covered. They didn't find out for a couple of years, but I was safe by then with a good work ethic.
     
    Kroozn20 Thanks this.

    Yeah I've had jobs in customer service that required me to cover it I just wore a watch. I suppose if I went through orientation I would just wear a band watch the whole time.

    why would you even want to work at a place that you'd have to hide who you are?
     
    Chinatown and LostOne9 Thank this.

    You have a point, but desperation comes to mind when you have no money coming in.

    A lot of companies these days don't like the "showing tattoo" kinda thing, or even "zero" tolerance to it. And so I always say to my friends and my sons, "if you want a tattoo, chose a spot that will be covered with your clothing, or else you wont be hired for many companies." And that's not for truckers only, any where you go today, they are turning down candidates because of showing tattoos.

    It Is Christmas! MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!!
    And be safe!

    Most companies don't care. A few do though. Even the Army & Marines have cracked down and won't let guys re-enlist if they have too many; even if they had them when they initially signed up.
