I was advised by a couple unker unker not to get any form of tattoo for they will do nothing but propagate a negative image.
Based on your experience, to what extent are tattoos stigmatised in the local industry?

tattoo on ur back - ok

dickbutt tattoo on your forehead - no

that couple of unker work for the modelling agencies ar ?? or pole dancers ??

Unless u got a talent that nobody can match and in demand, no tattoo that looks like gangster please. People will think you're a loser trying to tell other people you're something

I have tattos on both my arms. Done with my clp exams and going to start work next week in a law firm.
Only problem is, long sleeve everyday but i have no problem with it.

I have tattoos on my arm and on my body that is visible but I am in the art industry. Everything is normal for me.

my brother had a tattoo on his arm. never talked to him since.

If you applied at a tattoo shop.

should be okay as long as it is @ non-visible area.

Yes, definitely.
I had many piercing during "young", eg lip. Luckily ayam didn't do "gambar" on my body.. your perspective might change when you're aging.

most companies even MNC allow tattoos as long as it's covered.

i ask my Japanese friend he said in Japan even those Water Parks don't allow ppl with big Yakuza tattoos to enter.

Some are ok, and will advise you to wear long sleeve due to others might not be as tolerable.

not if you covered well. but you will really miss out on Japanese hot bath experience because tattooed people are generally not allowed.

if u work in art industry, its good to have tattoo, weird hair colour or any piercings. Shows you are expressive n brave
But in other field, mmmm better not

As long as it cannot be seen

lol, i've seen ppl with tattos on his whole arm working inside a bank...as front line customer service
tell me abt it

yes it does affect somewhat but not entirely

japan is different
in japan ....tattoo = yakuza
in other part of the world...tattoo = art

Got impact on job seeking.
Last time my intern candidate said she got tattoo, so I asked where. Then she showed me the tattoos on her C cup breast.

Needless to say she was hired on spot .

if u can cover it should be ok
