Yes

It shows overt individualism and not caring for surrounding and teams. Automatically a no hire

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 I'm the employer, I wouldn't see tattoos as a hindrance for employment. I would see it as a self-expression. It means you're expressive and you're not afraid to hide it.

Kind of a plus for me.

Oh and of course I wouldn't accept nazi and any form of degrading tattoos la.

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?

Sure it will. Try putting "Fuck My Boss!" on your forehead and go for interview. Let's see if you can even pass the "pre-screening" stage....

What happen to YOLO

Hahaha

Those who had tattoo stop trying comparing malaysian employers mentality with the western

Just get a religious tattoo

But then again christianity prohibit body tattoo (if u a atheist or others, no problem)

You will alter your fortune if you tattooed your body...if bad luck can try, but never do it when your life is going smoothly
