Should I hide my tattoos in the job interview?

In most areas of life, it no longer matters whether you have a tattoo or not. It is hardly noticeable and is widely socially accepted. But how is it in job interviews, should I hide my tattoo there?

A clear answer to this is difficult. Because, of course, it depends first of all on the profession you are applying for. Especially in more conservative professions, where you have a lot of customer contact and a serious appearance is important, tattoos can be a problem. In other professions it could be an advantage to show your special individual character through the tattoos. The number and location of the tattoos is of course also important. All visible places that can not be covered, such as neck, hands and face, are still very conspicuous. But also a lower arm, décolleté, or leg tattoo can not be covered under every article of clothing, you should consider.

If you can hide your tattoos completely and permanently without too much effort, you should probably do it and not bring it up at the job interview. That way you play it safe. Because ultimately the boss decides what he thinks of you at that particular moment. And if the boss has a personal aversion to tattoos, then even the most beautiful motif won't help. In the banking and insurance industry, you should tend to hide your tattoos. The boss may find your tattoos beautiful, but the clientele in this industry is still a bit more conservative and tends to have a negative image of tattoos. If you want to enter a creative or artistic profession, the situation is quite different. Here, a tattoo or other body decoration can even be an advantage in the job interview.

Authentic or adapted? 

That's exactly the question in the end. Because if you've been invited to the interview, it means that your application documents already qualify you for the job. Now they're just looking to see if you'll fit into the team and make a positive, honest impression. If you completely disguise yourself, hide the tattoos and remove all the jewellery that otherwise belongs to you, then you'll probably feel uncomfortable yourself and probably radiate that as well.

So ultimately, you have to decide for yourself how important your tattoos are to you and in the end it depends on what your boss thinks of them and whether it opens or closes doors when you go to an interview with open tattoos.
