Tattoos have become the newest trend in the 21st century, with 40 percent of millennials having a tattoo. We have seen a major jump of people with tattoos in the past 20 years (npr.org). But even though so many people have tattoos, many of them don’t know the long term effects tattoos can have on your body. I believe there are many reasons why tattoos should be banned in America.
First of all, tattoos can negatively affect your career, especially if your tattoo is visible. There are many workplaces where body art is banned in its dress code. Body art isn’t allowed in many workplaces because some people feel uncomfortable around other people who have tattoos. Tattoos can also determine which career paths you will take. A survey was conducted by careerbuilder.com, to find out if tattoos had an effect on someone’s career. Their studies showed that 31 percent of HR managers said that visible tattoos has a negative impact on whether on not they will hire that person. Tattoos can also have a negative effect on the owner or boss of the company because most of them don’t like tattoos. This is because many middle age and older Americans, which is how old many business owners are, associate tattoos with bikers, convicts, and gang members (psychcentral.com). Even if the owner isn’t middle aged, many of the customers of the business are over the age of 40. In addition, tattoos are very painful and expensive. The tattoo artists usually price the tattoo depending on how long the tattoo
In my opinion, tattoos can have significant meaning. It is understood that some people have gang related or derogatory art, however, a good portion of them are related to something that once happened in somebody’s life. Businesses
Vigeland writes, “a study conducted by careerbuilder.com found that thirty-seven percent of HR managers cite tattoos as the third physical attribute most likely to limit career potential” (Vigeland, 2012, para. 3). The key to obtaining a job when a person has tattoos is to get an impression of the workplace and to obtain information about the perspective employer on their personal policies. That way a person will know whether they should apply for the position or not. There are jobs where tattoos do not affect a person being hired. A few of those jobs are in construction, music, the automotive industry, film making, athletics, styling or the military. It appears most
Tattoos might look cool but they can cause some difficulties later on in life. People automatically make assumptions about someone covered in body art. Not to mention, many employers do not want their customers to get the wrong idea about their company. Overall because body ink is not widely accepted people aiming to get one should really think about it.

Tattoos in today’s business society are a lot of times frowned upon for being unprofessional and not acceptable. Businesses assume if a possible future employee of theirs has tattoos or piercings they may not be as intelligent as one without tattoos.

There are people who still believe that tattoos and piercings are wrong. Some religious groups still believe that markings should not be made on one’s body, as it says in the Old Testament. Such groups believe that the body should be honored and any intentional marks should be considered a sin. Ironically, many people of high religious beliefs are known to modify their bodies for their religion. For example, Pagans celebrate their religion and spirituality
“Why get a tattoo? You do realize that they are permeant, right?” People get tattoos for a specific reason. Someone could get one to honor a family member that has passed away and they want to keep their memory alive, or they have a matching one with a loved one as a symbol of friendship, or they have always wanted one, but never knew what to get until the right time. Everyone has a reason to get a tattoo. Such as death, loved ones, and timing. Tattoos mean different things to different people.
“The nicest people I have ever met are covered in tattoos, while the most judgment people that I have met are the once who don’t have tattoos” (Earl Dibbles). When someone sees a person with a bunch of tattoos, maybe the first thing that comes to their mind is Thug, stupid, thief, or maybe even crazy.

In summary, tattoos are a dangerous waste of time and money. As a reminder, tattoos are dangerous because they can cause health risks like infection, and can also cause allergic reactions to ink used. Secondly, tattoos are not accepted in all workplaces, and many workplaces have policies prohibiting tattoo visibility.

Finally, tattoos are permanent and very hard to get off. It would be hard to pick one design and to stick with that design for the rest of your life. Most people change their mind about everything at least three times. What may have seemed cool when you were 25 is completely different kind of cool when you are 55. Also, your body changes too. You won’t have the same body at 25 when you are 55. That tattoo will be there forever unless you decide to use laser surgery to have it remove, which would cost at least a thousand more than the tattoo itself.
