How're tattoos viewed at workplaces in '23?

I have plans to get a few on my fingers. A good chunk of my job involves meeting people (journo here).

What's your take on the acceptance of tattoos at workplaces and among people in 2023?

I have tattoo on my arms and it’s chill with all. Who is anyone judge it? Unless you work for TCS

Coming from a person working as a software engg, it doesn’t matter in my workplace. I have a tattoo on my forearm n it makes no difference.

Nothing from more senior bosses or managers who are stuck in the past?

Not yet. They’ve actually liked the tattoo.. including the vp in India and svp from US. 😂

Depends on what the message is.

If its butterflies and scorpions and flying birds and names of loved ones, generally acceptable.

If you're carving the hakenkreuz on yourself, I would advise against it.

You're right. It is most harmless and the ones with more detail (would invite questions on its meaning) will be made on my back.

I still wondered if it'd hamper job opportunities at the interview stage.

It won't. Unless you're interviewing at a really conservative outfit.

We too face people and sometimes our appearance/seniority influences the way they respond to our questions.

Front facing? I’d say don’t go for it. Maybe consider tattooing your torso?
