A topic of discussion that frequently tends to crop between my friends and I, is tattoos in the workplace. Now, I understand that depending on the industry you work in, tattoos will either be accepted, frowned upon, or just totally unacceptable. Certain workplaces don’t openly welcome or encourage body art, but because of the nature of the job, they can’t, and won’t discriminate against it, while others simply will not employ people based on their appearance. I recently read an article about a petition that’s been formed in Canada to make it illegal to discriminate against people with tattoos, and it really got me thinking about the tattoo discrimination that still takes place in the UK today.
