Hiding A Tattoo
When most level-headed people get a tattoo they think about the future before getting it! Things such as social life and job prospects will probably run through your mind when considering the position. However, even with a well thought out tattoo there may come a time when you must keep it hidden from sight! Here are some of the best ideas for tattoo cover-ups:
Clothing
This is obviously one of the easier options assuming your tattoo is in a normal location. Simply choose clothing that will keep it covered at all times.
Hair
Neck tattoos can often put people off, especially employers. Long hair can help hide the tattoo from anyone who you wouldn't want to see it.
Bandages
A hand or wrist tattoo may sometimes cause issues, an easy solution to this is to wear a bandage on the hand. Nobody will ever suspect a thing if this is done properly.
Scarf's
Should your hair not be long enough then a scarf is a great way of hiding any neck tattoos.
Jewellery
Another easy way to hide wrist tattoos is to add jewellery to your wrist, a few piece of jewellery should be able to obscure the view of a tattoo without any problems.
Makeup
Another great option is to use makeup or Dermablend. You can find some great techniques on Youtube that will show you the best way to cover up tattoos with makeup. Always make sure you give the makeup a test run before the day it needs covering up.
Always remember if you are getting a tattoo that is in a position which you can't cover such as face, neck and hands that it will affect your career and job prospects. A recent survey in the UK amongst employers showed that while the tide was turning, many employers would not take on someone with a visible tattoo for one reason or another.
While tattoo lovers may see this as discrimination, the fact is you can't change the mind of the person interviewing you as they will have struck you off the short list the second you walked into the room. Don't fall into the trap of joblessness just because of a piece of art!
