Can you have visable tattoos if you work in the travel industry?
I want to work in the travel industry when I leave college next year (Im doing a travel and tourism course) but my friend and I both have want tattoos lol. I want a tattoo on my wrist and my friend wants one on her ankle. She would like to work as a check in service agent and I want to work as a travel agent but we were wondering if having tattoos can stop us from getting jobs..? My friend has a tattoo alredy but its easy to cover but we both want more visable tattoos. I know that working as a member of cabin crew you arent allowed tattoos but does this refer to all aspects of jobs in the travel industry?
Thanks for any help x

Almost all jobs frown upon tattoos on employees, and in the travel industry communication with customers is involved, and companies want you to represent them well. Some people don't respond well to tattoos, they think its a sign of deliquents. It sucks people aren't more open minded, but thats the way it is.
I knew a girl who got a wrist tattoo and at work they made her wear long sleeves or cover it with band aids. She regrets getting it in that area because it some what restrains her in the career world.
Get it somewhere you can hide it easily and you'll be fine.
Good luck,

Most jobs don't look favourably on visible tattoos. Unless you're working in a highly relaxed or creative field, expect visible tattoos to be detrimental to finding a job.
Customer service-based jobs or careers are not tattoo friendly. This is because they can be off-putting to customers. Get a tattoo you can easily cover up with regular work clothes.
