Getting a job with a tattoo on my neck?

Question

i'm in college for pharmacy tech. but im worried about the chinese symbol on my neck that makes me look like a d**n criminal( i know it's dumb got it when i was 18) so do you think that it will make it hard for me to get a job in a pharmacy because of this?

Answer 1

You might want to cover it up for the interview and keep it covered up until you get really comfortable with your bosses or whoever you work for. You can ask if its okay to show it, but otherwise, keep it covered up with makeup.

Answer 2

Wear a collar shirt with a tie to the interview & button it all the way up.  A little makeup to cover it probably wouldn't hurt, either.

Answer 3

no i saw a lady with working at a parmcy with a real looking haret so chill you will be fine

Answer 4

i think you might have some trouble and i would do everything in your power to cover that up for any interview.  I know that in a fast food chain that i am familar with (franchise) you cant have any visiable tatooes and if that is so for a fast food rest. what is it going to be like in a far more professional enviroment.

Answer 5

get it removed or get a job that doesn't care your drew on your body

Answer 6

use it has a positive who ever hires you, change it to the name of that store, thus you can ware open shirt and your employer will be sure that you will be there for a long long time. If you play it right you might get a better income since you can charge for advertising,  

Answer 7

Hi again. I am having laser for a tattoo I got at 18 on my ankle. I think that if you wear a collared shirt and get some makeup to cover it you will be fine. we do these things when young...

Answer 8

Don't worry!!

It's not like you have a pot leaf on your neck, they will still take you serious :) Trust me!!!

GOOD LUCK!  

Answer 9

well if you would not get it based on that it would be discrimination. you should not get it because of your tattoo. if you would not get it it would probably be based maybe on your interview skills, but the tattoo no. if it bugs you that much have it removed :)

Answer 10

Well it depends where it is on your neck, and the social climate of where you live. I'm in LA, and pretty much everyone has a tattoo. Here, I don't think it would be much of a problem. However, some employers do have no tattoo policies, so you'll have to keep your eye out and you may have to cover it up. It's discrimination not to hire somebody because of a tattoo, but they can ask you to cover it.  

Answer 11

honestly, no(if its on the back of your neck.).  many people arent going to stare at your neck, and lots of collared shirts cover it up anyway.  if its on the side it may be a little harder to cover it up./
