I wouldn't work for a company with a no visible tattoo policy.
It stupid. It would be like making all male employees get the same hair cut.
... I don't think tats necessarily indicate that a person is irresponsible ...
That is the dumbest comparison I have ever heard.
If you were an employer, would you hire someone with visible tattoos?
Here's an article about a woman who recently was released from prison: Barbra Scrivner thought winning clemency was the hard part. Then she got out.

I'm not bothered as much by her record as I am by the tattoos on her arm. To me, tattoos say "poor judgment." I'm not sure that's a quality I want in an employee.
Why, banning tats at a job is trying to make every one the same in some respect.
Its a stupid policy thought up and enforced by narrow minded people. An increasingly smaller and smaller group I would add.

For one thing, employers do have dress codes and other rules that act to make everyone somewhat the same that can be anything from how someone is to have their hair to tattoos. Second, the term narrow minded means nothing more than not being open to what I want to do. Third, and most importantly, risk management is part of employment, so if a group of people are a higher risk I will be less likely to hire them.

One thing that I noticed when I was in the U.S. Army was that everyone had a hair cut exactly like mine. :roll:

Sometimes I work in the call center. What does tattoos on the face have to do with someone answering phones?What about the guy who had "Romney Ryan" tattooed on his face? Forget about the partisanship. Don't you thing getting a campaign slogan tattooed on your face is a bad idea?
It was a question.Did I say that?
I don't believe that I did.
Tattoos are a risk? Hmmmm, I should be dead then.

That again makes no sense. To a third of the population tattoos are associated with deviant behavior and I'm not just going to ignore that when I hire people.
