Breaking The Mold



 

Don’t judge a book by its cover. This very principle applies to people too. So many companies state that they do not discriminate based on age, race, gender, sexual orientation etc. However, they seem to have no problem discriminating against people with tattoos, piercings, or other forms of body art. Understandably, the validity of a clean, well-kept image is what some companies look for in their representatives. However, not hiring someone simply because they have tattoos is not only discrimination; it is assuming that they are incapable of performing the job tasks. Simply because a person has tattoos doesn’t mean they can’t do they job just as well as - if not better than - employees without tattoos. It is a person’s birth-right to express themselves in any way they find pleasing. In a point of view look at things, some people consider tattoos, piercings, etc. to be beautiful, eye pleasing, and a form of self-expression. Others may consider them degrading, unattractive, and self-mutilation. Looking at both sides, it seems unfair to only enforce one point of view while completely disregarding the other. The fact is, today tattoos are a large part of a modern, cultural society.
