Stigmas and prejudices often stop people with tattoos from being hired but this worker is done with the unfair treatment.
A woman is calling out her former boss for preferring to hire people who don't have any tattoos or piercings.
In a TikTok video, Ellie, who worked as a barista, explained that while working at a cafe, she ran into issues with her boss surrounding the idea of employees being hired who didn't have a clean-cut look about them.
"We had to read all their handbooks, and they do allow tattoos as long as they're not on your face or neck," she revealed. "But there's no nose rings." Ellie herself has tattoos on her arms, and a nose ring in.
She continued, saying that the management allowed her to keep her nose ring in while she was working, but still ran into some snide comments being said by her manager.
"The manager was talking and had to interview some people and was like, 'I interviewed this candidate and she didn't even have any tattoos or nose rings like I'm so excited.'" After hearing that, Ellie pointed out that she works as a barista, who is more than likely getting paid minimum wage.

Back during my Navy days, I considered getting a tattoo. Cooler heads prevailed until I sobered up.
I was at an international event and met a woman from Samoa.
Beautiful with traditional Samoan let tattoos.
She was wearing a dress, so you could see them.
I was OK with it. Her culture.
It would be interesting to know in Samoan culture how they view any people who choose not to get Samoan tattoos.

I always want to ask how they clean out the boogers at the end of the day.
>I truly don’t know how the ‘tat’ craze started, or who started it…..especially for women!!
Angelina Jolie
Tats, nose rings, ear piercings, tounge piercings , all signs of cultural slide but of all these the one I hate the most are man buns!
Perfect analogy!
“She may make a perfectly fine cup of coffee, but if the customers gag over her appearance that could hurt sales.”
That’s exactly where I’m coming from. At Walmart we check out the cashiers and go to the lines where the older ones are. They’re less likely to be damaged.
That, too, happened over time. My years as a waiter in the 80’s were NO tattoos, piercings, weird hair, etc. allowed. It was the time of punk and new wave but “Don’t bring that to work”.
I probably would have, so I can look back and say I’m thankful for those boundaries.
It does not affect your ability to make coffee.
It affects your company's ability to SELL coffee.
My business partner (we are a general contractor and there are 8 of us) has a tattoo of the names of his wife and 7 kids. It is tasteful and usually it is covered try mma by a shirt. I never had a tattoo. His 17 year old son has a cross on his shoulder.
You used to get a tattoo to stand out. Now you get one to fit in.
It’s actually rebellious now to not have a tattoo.
Well put.
Yeah, I knew it was Trylon, but it was misspelled in the lyrics I copied, and I didn’t feel like inserting [sic].
Nice to have someone out there correcting spelling, in color even.
“... but if the customers gag over her appearance that could hurt sales.”
Exactly - how hungry or thirsty would one be after gazing on so much deliberate self-mutilation.
1.Suffering from a lot of unresolved trauma
2. A follower
3. Probably some drug use
As an employer, all things I would rather not deal with.
In my 30+ years as an employer, I had only one staff member with visible tats. and he was a US Navy vet.
Yes...my dad’s tatoo was “Mom” (Battle of Leyte when he was 17)
