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

French and Australian company, more tattoo, the better

Yes

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

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.

Singapore medical check up even got column to check body got tattoo or not

If u are working for backend, no issues, but if you are working environment with frontline, sales reps, marketing reps or retails its a nono.

already saw a guy working at front line customer service at public bank
his whole arm is tattoo

That girl have a really bright future.

only if its visible over clothing
this Malaysia too btw, you got any type of tattoo they look at you like rempit

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....

Depends on your job industry and position. If left hand got green dragon, right hand got white tiger how to go out do sales, later ppl thought you ah long company

I am an employer and I can confirm that a tattoo wil definately affect your chances of getting hired.

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)

YES

if u put on ur forehead, yes

tuhan dah buat cantik, elok, tiada cacat.

tapi manusia masih tak berkecukupan dan tak bercukur....

i'll hire him

sales manager has tattoo whole arm, design supervisor has tattoo whole arm.
basically if ur social skills are gooding company will hire u regardless.

this is not counting muslim companies cuz u know, they "spesial"

depends on the boss and the job

back then i used to work in the bank where everyone would go "NO TATTOO LA" but reality is, a lot of bankers got tattoos

and yes they are all front line

as long you can bring in the deals boss dont care

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

we have a male staff in HR unit that have tattoo. He loves to wear this kpop tight short sleeves that his tattoo on his both arms are very visible. The tattoos are extravagant designs with bright color. No problem working with our company since his PR is good. The boss seem to like him a lot since his kipas skill also good

Yes.. it does ...

Not confined to malaysia only..
This is why people get tattoos at places where employers cant see...

I kinda hate nerd...the more tattoo the more friendly i feel

if tattoo on your hand/arm for your culture/belief i dont mind

ni budak stylo subang pegi mampus la kimak..

A peenus tattoo on your forehead increases chance of landing a job by 100%


Go ahead op get a tattoo

Unless you're working in Sarawak.

Even with tattoo u can get a gomen job
