If I was hiring a candidate would lose points for visible and excessive tattoos & piercings, especially on a pretty girl (yes I'm a sexist pig). I would wonder if their "personal preferences" would affect their work ethics.

I also get further amazed at how the tattooing/piercing culture has grown, it is not uncommon to see middle aged people with tattoos

Tattoos have destroyed a generation of female beauty.

Poor Work ethic, poor impulse control, psychological issues, sexuality promiscuity.

Plenty of exceptions, but many studies show people with tats and piercings have those issues.

It was the manager’s prerogative…..none of her business…..

I truly don’t know how the ‘tat’ craze started, or who started it…..especially for women!!
Men, I get…..but women?

I now see nurses with them…..and even squeaky clean Chic Fil A hired tatted kids……( they were having a hard time getting enough kids willing to work, so I guess they had to change their standards)

I am woman and won’t hire anyone with visible tattoos or excessive piercings. It isn’t about them being able to do the job, it is about meeting customer expectations. Which is about me hiring the right people for the job.

I have clients that would totally freak out and fire my company if they saw a purple haired, punked out person showing up to care for their pet on the security cameras. OMG, they’d watch their cameras the whole time with much scrutiny and it would ruin their entire day or vacation.

Image matters. It always has. Whether it is a waitress or an attorney or doctor.

It has nothing to do with your ability to make coffee, but instead has to do with your appearance ruining the appetite of the customers because of its repulsiveness

Tats and piercings are a visible sign of a lifestyle that does affect work ethics.

There’s nothing worse than seeing a pretty girl that defaced her body with all that garbage.

Some customers view visible tattoos and piercings as “dirty” and it affects their buying decisions from food vendors.

This is well known and established.

Tatted people look DIRTY.
Had a beautiful woman butler once and all I could see was her pierced TONGUE!

A few years ago I was at a restaurant. The couple across the way seemed kind of weird. All i could see were their faces. He looked like a total derelict while the girl was a knockout. Then I noticed that she was completely tatted up, arms, neck etc. Totally ruined herself for life.

The other day I was talking to a guy at a trade show. He was a builder. Face tat’s, some weird clear plastic things on his nostrils, nose ring, something piercing his eyelid.

He seemed very competent and knowledgeable but if he came to my house to try to sell me on a job, I’d have a hard time hiring him over the other competent guy.

Wrong question
‘How does this affect my ability to make coffee?’

Right Question
How does it help project a favorable the image of the business?

Ellie herself has tattoos on her arms, and a nose ring in.

More evidence of the true epidemic (stupid).

What’s amazing is how many tattoos some of them have, yet can’t afford a cup of coffee.

Priorities I guess.

Tattoos are for losers with one exception, the greatest generation that got them during the war.

Of my four kids, only one has a tattoo. It’s on his leg and he rarely wears shorts.

It’s a stylized image reflecting a Bible verse to honor a friend who died. My son rescued him from drowning and performed CPR on him, which unfortunately wasn’t enough.

I can’t complain about that one.

You choose to “decorate” your body with ink and various sundries through holes all over yourself, that’s your right.... its the owners right to decide they don’t want someone who looks like that representing their business.

HATE tattoos on women and only prefer a few on men. HATE any kind of piercings, other than the ears. I worked in healthcare for years and it was disgusting looking at many of the CNAs and nurses filled with tats and adorning all the face jewelry. Trashy, unprofessional, tacky.

It’s not a matter of her being able to make coffee, it’s a matter of will people buy the coffee she makes.

We have a three part brain and only one part has what we think of as human intelligence. The simpler parts of the brain react to visual input immediately and rarely logically. For example. Women generally are not attracted to very short men. That’s because the simple filter makes the irrational judgement that these are young boys. Men are generally not attracted to fat women because the same part of the brain sees these women as already pregnant and therefore, poor reproductive choices. It’s not conscious and most of us recognize the information as faulty.

It wouldn’t surprise me to find that the same primitive part if the brain sees tattooed as dirty skin, something we don’t want on those who are serving us our food and drink.
