Dr Timming, of the School of Management at the
University of St Andrews, said he had spoken to 15 managers involved in hiring
staff about their reaction to interview candidates with visible tattoos.
The managers were concerned about what their organizations customers might think, said Dr Timming.
Hiring managers realise that, ultimately, it
does not matter what they think of tattoos - what really matters, instead, is
how customers might perceive employees with visible tattoos.
The negative attitude to tattoos did not extend
to ones that could be easily concealed by clothing.
Three of the managers themselves had concealed
tattoos - one was so proud of his body art that he somewhat humorously took off
his shirt, exposing his naked torso during his conversation with Dr Timming.
Examples of distasteful tattoos given by the
managers included a spiders web tattooed on the neck; somebody being hung,
somebody being shot; things to do with death; face tears, which suggest that you've maimed or killed; something of a sexual content; anything with drug
connotations; and images with racist innuendo such as a swastika.

Tattooed applicants can take comfort in the fact
that the stigma associated with body art appears to be on the wane and that, as
a corollary, there will likely be an increase in the number of potentially
sympathetic tattooed hiring managers.
