I'd say it depends more on your client's preferences than anything else. If you have a highly old school type clientele, it might not be time for a tattooed receptionist. They would probably not mention it to the receptionist or the management, they would just do less business with you than they otherwise would.
I'm speaking as a guy that has spent a lot of time in long sleeved shirts in offices while many other people in the office were in short sleeves. Not a big deal to me. You join companies, companies don't join you. |

Sorry I don't care how good she is. When I see a woman like that I figure that she is self identifying as being insane. There is something wrong with her in the head.

Quoted: Nope, I do not disagree. The caveat to that who are you to judge pretty? Younger tattooed people have money! My arms were upwards of 4k just for my forearms. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Many years ago I worked for a very smart guy who went to Dartmouth and Dartmouth business school. His claim that standard business practice was to put the best looking and most presentable as the first seen receptionist and the smart problem solver as her backup in the rear office. His comment when questioned was , Oh yes, somewhat unfair but first impressions are the key , looks matter . He ran his small office mostly dealing with folks over the phone in his tennis shorts and flip-flops but still had a top tier suit and spit shined shoes sitting in his office closet to put on the dog at a moments notice if required . This was 40 years ago but I believe this to be mostly true today Nope, I do not disagree. The caveat to that who are you to judge pretty? Younger tattooed people have money! My arms were upwards of 4k just for my forearms. Wow that's quite an investment. How long gave you've had them? And the often asked question, do you still like what you had done? Would you have done something different if you could do it again? |

Would you hire a girl with no teeth as your receptionist? She's very intelligent and nice.
Would you hire a girl with no hair as your receptionist? She's very intelligent and nice. The answer is no. Some businesses want to project a professional image. |

Tattoos like that are a sign of trashiness and bad judgement and I wouldn't want someone like that working at my business.

And having thought about it a bit, I'd be concerned about someone in the company posting pictures of one of the company's officer's family members online in a location where there was sure to be sexual commentary and ridicule, without having explicitly received approval from the subject to do so.

Quoted: Op you just posted a picture (including face) off a coworkers social media (clearly without her permission) on to a public forum. How the hell did you think that was a good idea? As a completely non-tattooed old guy the first thing I would do is fire your ass because you are a liability nightmare and clearly out of touch with the amount of liability you just pulled on to any company that was dumb enough to not can you. So welcome to the 21st century pal. While the receptionist may not fit your moral standards this behavior of yours will absolutely give that same receptionist the ability to sue the living hell out of the company. That generation wins real monetary judgements off companies these days (especially with the granola packed courts in every state) for stuff just like this.

Quoted: This is our receptionist in a professional business (brokerage/agency). Would you let her be the first person important clients see when the elevator opens with her tattoos exposed? Only visible is on her left arm as seen in pic. Our company does. Update Seems many of you missed me point. She's an amazing employee and the company would have missed out on her had they not hired her because of the tattoos. They took a chance in her due to the fact she had zero office background. She worked at a high end salon in CA. she wanted to try something new. Her dad is a broker at the office and got her hired. Also in the pic HER LEFT arm is the one that has the tats. That other arm with the full sleeve is here friends. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/81840/4724844B-C134-4D9F-B93C-2B271F8AC9E7_jpe-2053364.JPG View Quote |

Quoted: I don't have any tattoos and don't like them on women, but that's a personal preference and nothing more. It's no different than someone dying their hair, having a beard, jewelry, etc. I think most people with tattoos are cognizant of when their ink might impinge on looking professional and they take the proper actions to avoid it being an issue. Within the next 5-10 years, I expect very few people to be left who actually seriously care about it. View Quote I'm a boomer but I totally agree with this. |

I am 62 and no tatoos....my choice...my daughter in law has a very large tatoo on her left shoulder and she is beautiful.....there was some discussion before her and my sons wedding about tatoo showing out from the wedding dress, not between my wife and I, but some members of our side of the family and my wife and I just shrugged it off....
If the lady does a great job, is professional, does her job, treats people with respect and does not use "like" as every other word....I say they better pony up some cash and keep her. |

Quoted: The wonderful world of ARF, where liberty is number one everyone has the right to be left alone - right up until they do something you disagree with, no matter how minor. Conservatism is dead because so many of you can't separate the stuff that is irrelevant from the stuff the actually matters. And insisting that only certain appearances are "professional" is definitely on that list. After all, how many of you go to work in a three-piece suite wearing a hat and pocket watch? Because that used to be the minimum standard for "professional" even in many jobs that are now considered blue collar. View Quote Smart guy. |

Quoted: Of course I would hire her. Those tattoos advertise the fact that she takes it up to tail pipe. Great for moral around the office as she will likely be passed around a few times.

I never understood how most women can color coordinate, use makeup effectively, choose colors effectively and interior decorate a home nicely but when it comes to tattoos they just literally pick the worst crap from the ghetto tattoo parlors wall of flash tattoos and just put it on the worst spot possible on their bodies.
Beautiful girl just ruined her body which I believe was a work of art by a higher power with crap tattoos. |

Don’t understand the appeal of shitty vintage style tattoos…
