Q. Okay so I want a pin up girl tattoo and obviously I want it to be PERFECT and I feel like I made a mistake in the artist I chose. I chose the best tattoo parlor in my area so I would like to switch artists. She just made the pin up really cartoonish and childish. How should I go about doing this?
A. I wouldn't ask your tattoo artist about any recommendations. I would go to different shops and just look through their portfolios. See who has done portraits and pin-ups and go from there. You don't have to switch the artists permanently. I have 2 artists as we speak. One specializes in something the other doesn't, so I'm going to this other one. They love that I am loyal and don't feel bad at all. They are happy I'm sticking with the shop and not leaving. BUT they don't do knuckle tattoos, so I have to go somewhere else when I want another knuckle tattoo. I won't leave them for good, but I will go somewhere closer to get my knuckle(s) done. They won't feel bad because they told me themselves that they don't do it. ALSO, I want a pin-up of a person that I have admired since I was a kid. It's not going to be a normal pin-up (a cleaner version I'll be getting...an actress from the 70's). I will be applying to Kat Von D's shop and have her do it. It's worth the wait and I will travel for it. If I can't get into her shop, I'll try a couple other woman that I like. I want a woman to do it because we can bond and really have a fun experience. After all of this though, I won't ever leave my shop. So look around and have someone else do the tattoo. GOOD LUCK! =)
Can knuckle tattoos stop you from getting a job?
Q. Like if a woman was clean cut and put together and the only tattoo she had was on her knuckles (nothing raunchy), could that stop her from getting a job?
A. It really depends on a number of factors.
If you want to work in a conservative environment, then yes visible tattoos can cause an interviewer to have a more negative view against you.
If you want to work in a more relaxed environment then it would have less of an impact. Especially since many people have tattoos and piercings.
I have a small turtle on my left ring finger, and two more tattoos on my inner wrists which can be covered by a long sleeve shirt, as well as hair that is ever changing colors. I plan to work in higher education and if I wanted to work at an Ivy league institute...it would probably be harder to get hired than at a state run school. I am currently a master's student. My "look" is a bit more wild than most of my colleagues, but it also works in my favor because it is a conversation starter and makes me more difficult to forget when networking, which is why I'm loath to go back to a natural hair color.
I don't know what your tattoo looks like, but I know I can cover my turtle with a larger ring if necessary. Perhaps if it is one finger you could use a band-aid or ring or even stage makeup to cover it for an interview. This way it does not distract from your skills.
The best accessory to any interview is a smile. And if a company really wants you, they'll take you tattoo and all.
