If you're quick to judge someone's character based on their tattoos, it suggests a tendency toward superficial assessments. I find it difficult to trust critical decisions made by someone who relies on such surface-level judgments. In my experience, those with narrow, dogmatic worldviews are often less interested in finding real solutions and more preoccupied with adhering to authority and bureaucratic norms.
Even if what you’re saying is true, you have no way of telling what someone thinks of tattoos. People who think tattoos show low impulse control can tell immediately. So, technically speaking, only one opinion matters in regards to hiring, which is probably why you see so few tattoos in high paid engineering jobs
> you have no way of telling what someone thinks of tattoos.
Disgust is one of the most easily telegraphed human reactions. Also, haters with suboptimal impulse control can't avoid using any and every soapbox at their disposal to make sure you know where they stand on the matter.
Is the organizational pressure that seeks conformity filtering out tattoos based on tattoos or the lack of conformity? It's tough to understand whether you're saying more about self-perpetuating hierarchies or tattoos.
I'm aligned with your base point. I'm not seeking to extend my rational to anyone other than people who make their opinions well known.
actually i think the organizational pressure is not about what people in the company think about those with a tattoo, but what they think how it will make their company look in public. to customers, business partners, investors, etc.
You do know that a transparent tattoo doesn't mean 100% transparency, right?
A transparent tattoo has parts inside of it where the skin is still completely visible or the skin is partially visible.
A solid tattoo blocks out your natural skin color entirely and is generally associated with criminal gangs such as the Japanese Yakuza or tattoo addictions.
It's unfortunate that it's not better regulated and thus safe to yolo just get one, but glow in the dark tattoos that use ink that can't be seen in ordinary light are particularly cool.
