The Tattoo Industry
The tattoo industry is an often type cast field, in many instances it is thought of as
a delinquent activity carried out in remote and filthy cesspools of social deviancy by large
hairy burly men who cant get a "real" job due to past felonious activity. I hope to shoot
this popular misconception full of holes. One will find through experience only that this
is truly not the case, these are legitimate places of business, ran n accordance to all health
ordinances by law abiding citizens.
I have targeted a tattoo studio on Bessemer avenue, by the creative name of
"Inkslingers." As a matter of fact I received three of five tattoos here by Kevin Spainhour

All four walls of this room are covered from the floor to
the ceiling with flash. Flash are the pictures and designs that the studio provides for
customers to choose from. Each section of flash is about the size o a piece of notebook
paper and can have anywhere from one to forty different pictures on them. The studios
are usually rather protective of these as each page costs anywhere from two to seven
dollars. Of course customers do not have to chose their tattoo from the flash, they can
bring in their own pictures from the internet, television, magazines, even your very own
artwork or drawings. Their repetuar consisted of hundreds of different things tribal
desighns, flowers, surreal objects and scenery, skulls, an assortment of animals, and any
number of other things. It was quite impressive. From this room the piercing room
branches off. Inside there is a reclining dentist's chair, a counter, and cabinets. It's full of
medical grade equipment, sanitizing solutions, and Dixie cups. It is really not that much
difference in appearance to an ordinary examining room that would be found at any
reputable doctor's office, with the exemption of the pictures of past piercings pinned to
the walls. The last main room has a large pool table and a coke machine. There are four
doors in this room one leading to the bathroom, and the others leading to small tattoo
roooms. The rooms are decorated
Tattoos are common place in society today. No longer are they only on bikers or bad guys; now they are on doctors, lawyers and even pastors. Tattoos no longer determine a person’s character or who they are. They are a way of expressing oneself and showing experiences in a person’s life or expressions of meaningful things. Even older people are getting "ink" put on them. For as much as they are accepted in society, they are also still looked down upon. Having tattoos can affect being hired for a job and that can be looked upon as discrimination. Having tattoos does change a person’s possibility of getting hired for a job, although it should not.

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. Society associates people with tattoos as bad people and they judge them based on how they look which is wrong. “In a study 31 percent of human resource managers said visible tattoos could have a negative impact on their decision whether to hire someone, but bad breath weighed even heavier in the survey. Employees with chewed fingernails and dark suntans were offered fewer promotions, the survey said.”(Burlington)
In today’s society possible employers often frown upon their employees being tattooed, however tattoos should not define a person. Considering this, Spokeswomen Ferris Morrison of Bank of American states, “We have
The word “tattoo” is actually the combination of words from two different cultures. The Polynesian word to strike something, “ta”, and the Tahitian word meaning to mark something, “tatau” (Designboom, 2010). The form of body art known as tattooing has developed artistically, improved technically, and changed stylistically throughout the past two centuries. Not only has the public perception changed over the years, but the methods and machinery used to create these wonderful pieces of art has also changed drastically. Once viewed as only acceptable for sailors, criminals, and circus performers; tattoos, have taken a giant leap from their humble roots. However, they couldn’t have become as popular as they have without the inspirational

Tattoos are becoming very popular amongst the people of my generation, but now they seem to be creating more buzz than ever when it comes to today’s job market. Jon Kelly and Rachel Hennessey wrote articles covering this topic presenting the views of employers and their policies against tattoos. In both articles, they discuss how employers frown upon the art of employees inking. The biggest reason is because, some employers feel that tattoos deliver an unprofessional look to the customer and that can ruin the image built and portrayed by their prosperous companies.
Some people that are against tattooing argue that it is a permanent marking. They argue that if someone changes their mind about their tattoo, they are still stuck with it forever. " All too many teens make the decision to be tattooed or pierced based on misinformation. Others simply lack important knowledge about the procedures" (Reybold 38). Since most humans change their
Introduction: Is there anyone here that does not like tattoos or likes them, but would never think of getting one? Today, tattoos are a growing in popularity when before tattoos were only seen on people in a circus as an act or on military veterans who wanted to display their troop proudly. Even though there is this growing popularity of tattoos, entry-level jobs require strict dress code policies disapproving the sight of tattoos while at work.
This leaves possible employers in a situation requiring them to decide whether or not to allow tattoos. More and more employers are seeing past the typical views on tattoos and allowing their employees to

Tattoos today are recognized as totally different than what they were pictured as in the past. “Tattooing is recognized by government agencies as both an art form and a profession and tattoo-related art work is the subject of museum, gallery and educational institution art shows across the United States.” [ (Levins,
