My boyfriend's tattoos

hellosweetie1015

Damn. I miss all the fun. 

My FFIL is a deputy CFO for a VA-affiliated hospital. My FMIL is a paralegal for a JAG firm, I think. He's a deacon in his church. FFIL has two sleeves with Disney characters on them. He also has a Chef Goofy he had done for FI. FMIL is working on her own sleeve, if I recall, and has several others, including one on her lower back. They are both holding down respectable jobs - with military connections, even - and are doing just fine with it. 

@ashley8918 those are absolutely fantastic. I love them.

Nursing schools tend to be pickier than nursing jobs. For example, I'm not supposed to have my hair down or wear nail polish at clinical. I see nurses do those things all the time, though (not the greatest idea, seeing as those are actual infection control concerns while tattoos aren't). Lots of nurses have tattoos. 

Look, I've talked about getting a chest tattoo, a sleeve, surface anchor piercings, all sorts of stuff and still all I have is one large shoulder tattoo. I've thought of lots of body mods that I probably will never actually pull the trigger one. I'm sure he can figure out whether it's a risk worth taking or not. People act like tattooed people have never had it occur to them that not everyone will love their tattoos/that wrinkled tattoos aren't a great look/whatever. 

There's a lot of areas and jobs where this is not a huge deal. Places like Applebee's tend to care a lot more about this sort of thing than, say, Microsoft.  If you are a marketable professional your tattoos won't really matter that much 9 times out of 10.

To be fair... There are some professions where people who change careers honestly don't know that tattoos will be a problem. Or, they believe when they're younger that "they'd never work as such-and-such" and then discover later on they have a passion for something different. 

Nursing, for example. I work for a nursing school and we have a lot of middle-aged career changers and even in the interview process, people have been told, "Well, to go to clinical, you'll have to wear a turtleneck at all times under your scrubs to cover your neck/arm tattoos." If someone couldn't cover a tattoo, they could actually not get a job as a nurse. 

Also, when I originally started at this university, the department I was in had plenty of people with visible tattoos, even at director-level. I went to a different department, and the President told a middle-aged new hire to cover her leg tattoo with a bandage. Frankly, if I had a visible tattoo (mine's always covered) or she'd been wearing a skirt during her interview, neither of us would have been hired. Even in the same organization there are different standards. 

However, this is the guy's body and choice and not the OP's. I hope he realizes that not everyone is open minded, but OP will have to keep her opinion to herself.  

This nursing bit is quite interesting to me. I didn't know that. I went to high school with a girl that got a wrist tattoo when she graduated from nursing school and she is now working full time as a nurse. I wonder if she has to wear long sleeves every day? But I find it hard to believe that she would do that knowing she would have to cover it or not get a job, I wonder if it's different in different states?

The doctors, nurses, aides, staff, etc. in my hospital system can't have visible tattoos that can be perceived to be offensive.  I guess as long as they are innocuous, like puppies and butterflies, they can be visible.  fFacial piercings and unnatural hair colors are also not permitted.

Covering tats is not really a big deal any more.  There are many lines of make up that can cover tattoos.

I wonder if he has a tattoo of a blender. If so, OP, leave him imeediately. He's clearly not manly enough or job-oriented enough for you. 

I'll see your blender tattoo @ShesSoCold and raise you a GASP mixer tattoo! I wonder if he has one on each arm!!! The horror!

HOW IS IT SO SHINY??? Drawing goals.

I'm really surprised by the tone of these responses. I don't think you get to dictate appearance to your partner, but I do think you get to discuss it. How long are you planning on keeping that beard because it's scratching my thighs? Oh you're thinking about Botox- but I'd miss your eyebrow raise?

I think it's completely acceptable to talk about these things with your partner and share your thoughts about it, and listen to theirs.

ETA: I think it's also good for him to know what you're thinking. Maybe he's completely offended by your trying to control him. Maybe he thinks it's cute that you're thinking long term. But letting him make life decisions with an honest understanding of what you're thinking seems like generally a good relationship move.

Pretty sure you can still move your eyebrows after Botox.

I hate beards- They scratch, they look scraggly and unkempt a lot of the time, and I'm not into the lumbersexual look.  DH likes to grow a small, well kept beard in the winter.  It's not my preference, but it's his face.  We don't discuss him growing a beard any more than we discuss whether or not I'm going to shave my legs or get a Brazilian vs a landing strip vs "a 70's vibe."  He just starts growing his beard.

I don't discuss my haircuts/dye jobs with him either.

Major plastic surgery procedures?  Sure I'd discuss with him because there's a risk I might die on the OR Table, not because I want his opinion on getting my boobs done.

You can't raise them. Trust me, I spent time trying. It changes how your whole face moves. I had botox for my migraines and they put them across my forehead, couldn't give anyone the stinkeye for a year!

Well Botox is a paralytic agent, but I didn't think when used to fill in wrinkles it would paralyze your face for that long!

Meh, get rid of the wrinkles!   I don't need to raise my eyebrows. . . that's part of what caused the damn wrinkles in the 1st place.

This all depends on the employer. Our hospital system can't have offensive tattoos either. Whatever that means - I'm glad I don't have to touch those convos. I'm not clinical, but I have a nose stud and no one has ever said a thing to me. I've seen some nurses with nose studs as well, so I'm pretty sure they're ok. I'll know they're not ok when someone asks me to remove mine.

I'm honestly not sure about "unnatural hair colors". It's kind of subjective because I would say that some of the "natural" hair colors that people use don't look natural at all. They'd probably look better in blue. Anyway....

Tattoos are presentation issues, infection control regulations are a whole different animal.  I can't stand doctors nurses, and aides who choose to ignore infection control regulations. . . they are part of the reason why nosocomial infections are so high.

My good friend works in infection control for the same hospital I work in.  The stories she tells me would make you never want to be treated by anyone, lol.  Hell the Joint Commission was just here and the cath lab had at least 20 violations in from of the auditor in less than 10 minutes. . . some committed by the actual department head!  Yep, big fines are a coming.  And that was the 1st department they visited this week ><

I would kind of love to get in a fight over natural hair colors. I'd show them a picture of some violets or tropical birds. Every color is natural.

They mean unnatural for a homo sapien.  The HR policies specifically give examples of blue, green, pink, and purple.

I'm not surprise that an insurance company hired someone with visible tattoos, but I am surprised they allow tube tops at work. If my work ever starts allowing folks to wear tube tops I'll be looking for a job right quick. 

While Ashley is pulling it off - ain't nobody need to see 99% of people in a tub top at work! At least no my work, that's for sure!

Yea, tube tops aren't allowed where I work either. I mean, if someone wore one under a cardigan or blazer, no one cares because you can't tell it's a tube top.

There IS a person I work with who wears jammy jeans on blue jean Friday. It's like, really? They're already being lax on the dress code and you have to push it with jammy jeans? She also sleeps in empty conference rooms, so....

At my old job, there were people who wore black velour pants to work and said they were "black work pants". Um, no. They're not.

Oof. My office is pretty casual (jeans every day), but that doesn't include pjs. 

Sometimes during the summer, our CEO gets really wild and let's us have "casual" Fridays where we can wear shorts and flippy floppies.

No tube tops here either. A handful of times per year we can wear jeans and my annoying coworker pretty much abuses it. She'll wear ratty sneakers and hoodies, when the expectation is that you still need to wear nice shoes/boots and blouses (for women) with your jeans. Jeans day =/= super casual day.

I'm not surprise that an insurance company hired someone with visible tattoos, but I am surprised they allow tube tops at work. If my work ever starts allowing folks to wear tube tops I'll be looking for a job right quick. 

While Ashley is pulling it off - ain't nobody need to see 99% of people in a tub top at work! At least no my work, that's for sure!

Yea, tube tops aren't allowed where I work either. I mean, if someone wore one under a cardigan or blazer, no one cares because you can't tell it's a tube top.

There IS a person I work with who wears jammy jeans on blue jean Friday. It's like, really? They're already being lax on the dress code and you have to push it with jammy jeans? She also sleeps in empty conference rooms, so....

Oof. My office is pretty casual (jeans every day), but that doesn't include pjs. 

Sometimes during the summer, our CEO gets really wild and let's us have "casual" Fridays where we can wear shorts and flippy floppies. 

If you read my office dress code you can literally pick out the people they were targeting. Things like "no house slippers" and no mini skirts or mesh shirt needed to be stated. You would think that would be obvious...but then you get jammie jean lady, so it must not be.

I wish they'd update it and include something on the travesty that is leggings. Leggings are not pants, no one wants to see that at work. Put some proper clothes on.

Wait did someone say they wore a tube top to work, or did you mean Ashley? I'm pretty sure Ashley didn't take that picture at work.

The thought of wearing tube tops at work make me think of this lovely scene...

Tube tops can be fantastic looking (on other people... I hate tube tops on me) and I know that obviously no one could POSSIBLY be that .... OTT. But still. Thoughts go there.

Ashley's a baller, though; we all already knew that. So obviously she's got it going on in her tube top. I honestly didn't even notice it was one.

Just came to this thread to see Ashley's boobs. Was not disappointed. 

But I will also say that when I worked for a casino resort, the rules were no "odd" hair colors, no facial piercings, no visible tattoos, men could not have facial hair, etc etc etc etc etc etc. Crazy. 

Now I work in an office for an international company in the medical industry, and they have no policy on tattoos. As I said in another thread, our vice president complimented my tattoos when he saw them. Another lady in my department has 2 full sleeves and a huge chest piece that no one has ever asked her to cover up. 

At the casino resort job, I made less than a fourth of what I make now... even though my tattoos are showing! Shocking! 

And from now on if a thread ever gets a little too SS, I vote the automatic response to be Ashley's boobs. Bam. Done.

Maybe along with puppies, we can start posting titties. Also this made me think of:

Show us your tits, show us your tats... it's all good.
