They’re too lazy to get a job! They all want to be famous! Those are just some of the generalisations when it comes to the work ethic of today’s youth. But that couldn’t be any different for 21-year-old Joe Parsons who contacted us here at This Morning after being repeatedly turned down for jobs, claiming it's because of his tattoos. Rebecca Jane, who runs a private investigation company, says she wouldn’t hire anyone with a visible tattoo. Can Joe convince her that appearance should have nothing to do with a person’s capability to do a job?

That tattoo was such a bad decision and maybe an indicator that he is prone to bad decisions.

I mean he could learn to be a mechanic and work in a car shop. I’ve seen lots of mechanics with many visible tattoos. However it’s not reasonable to get all these visible tattoos to show your “uniqueness” then complain that average businesses doesn’t think you fit their brand image or that society sees you as different. You are different, isn’t that why you got the tattoos? You can’t expect the rest of humanity to conform to your individual aesthetic. However in modern society there are a lot of alternative or open spaces, he could work at a tattoo or piercing parlor, Hot Topic etc. Or take up a trade where looks aren’t as prevalent.

I have 3 quarter sleeve/chest piece that I had for about twenty years now. However, my job has no clue I even have all this ink because I can hide it. The reality is that u can get discriminated for looks, height, gender, nationality, tattoos etc but Employers will make up lies & bs to legally not hire u. In a competitive world, Tattoos can give Employers the wrong first impression and at the end of the day you'll just be a financially broke person with a cool tattoo.

@@juanbaclavabnot sure what that means .. people get tattoos because they like them. It comes from mental trauma or issues, not denying that , however it’s just an expression and a coping mechanism that manifested into art. People cope many ways , some use violence and drugs . Some like tattoos . So unless you have “crip killah “ tattooed on your face I don’t see why it matters what someones skin looks like .. If someone’s going to discriminate against you because of how you look who’s to say they won’t discriminate against you for being a darker skin color ?

You could use heavy makeup like actors who have tattoos have to do for certain roles. If you haven't already got a tattoo, think long and hard before you get one. You should just get a temporary one that washes off unless you are really sure you want one.

I bet I can help him get a job I’ll be needing 1.) Mattifying skin primer (can be drugstore quality) 2.) A full coverage cream concealer pallet. Must have lavender, green, and a very deep peach or medium orange 3.) Three high end concealer brushes and one of any price point that’s the thinnest one we can find 4.) Beauty blender or just as good knock off 5.) Full or Higher Medium coverage concealer fluid (swipe on variety) in a color about half a shade lighter than his skin tone. 6.)EXTRA THICC fullest coverage cream (tube or stick) concealer from a brand like MUFE, KVD, MAC, Covermark, Dermablend or similar quality that matches his skin tone perfectly 7.) Buildable coverage waterproof fluid foundation 8.) Pressed powder that matches his skin tone or is just barely darker 9.) Department store Translucent powder or sheer coverage powder 10.) High quality powder brush 11.) Makeup setting spray 12. Shirts without collars or are made of satin If all else fails he can grow a very long beard like a Vikinger

@SmashyourXana 2 ай бұрын

People know when they get neck and face tattoos that it will pigeon-hole them into a very specific niche in society and will affect their employability. This guy Joe Parsons is not very bright if any of that comes as a surprise to him. A face tattoo correlates highly -- not 100%, but highly -- with mental illness, rash decision making, need to attract attention by any means necessary. none of these is viewed positively by employers. basically you can get a job at a comic book shop, or a used record shop, stuff like that.
