In Malaysia , You work in sales or MNC....No Tattoos pls...unless you can cover it up.

My company doesn't allow any tattoo....

But if you work as a bouncer, dancer, gym instructor, Ah Long, Kaki Pukul, etc...the more tattoo...the better.

Where the tattoo is and also what the tattoo is also should be considered.

Well, unless I have worked at least 5 years and have proven superior niche skills, I wouldnt risk tattooing visible part of body.

Which part on your body has tattoo?
Is it visible and is it large?
Depend on what industry you are joining and the employer that hire you as well.

Tattoo is a taboo in government service, so if you're interested in working with the government, don't put any in your body.. Unless you're from Sabah or Sarawak org asli..

Lol, good thing my company allows it as long as its concealable, and I don't have any qualms with that rule at all.
If you're worried about social stigma, don't take an unnecessary risk by having a visible tatt, simple as that.

Doubt it unless You got one pony on your forehead or anywhere that is visible.

I doubt folks wanna do business with someone who has extensive tattoos all over their head or somewhere prominent. And those who wanna climb the corporate ladder or even politics.

Better still just tattoo your dog or house or car and call it a day.

It's all about first impressions with your employer, if you want to have any, make sure you can cover it up.

If u wanna tattoo, pls tattoo a place where your formal working shirt can cover. Eg; shoulder and back. Many big companies don't hire staff with visible tattoo coz it affects the company's image especially jobs that require u to meet clients and customers. My friend who just interview for a salesman job selling international brand product was rejected coz he's hand (wrist area) got tattoo. To be on the safe side, please tattoo a place which u can really cover.

I think it depends on what body part you got a tattoo and whats the tattoo about
