Fun article in the Christian Science Monitor on tattoos and the workplace. Key quote on the growth of body art, piercings and tatoos:
"More than one-third of Americans between the ages of 18 and 25 have tattoos, and 40 percent of those between 26 and 40, according to a Pew Research study. For those over age 40, the number drops to 10 percent. In all, an estimated 30 million to 40 million people have tattoos."
The article discusses how businesses are being forced to be more accepting of body art mostly because younger workers increasingly have body art:
"As more young employees – both women and men – opt for ink and piercings, they face decisions about how much decorated skin to bare or not to bare. In the process, they are also quietly forcing their employers to accept them."
Body art is mainstream and will remain so for many years to come. Businesses need to undertand this and accept it.
Good work,thanks for sharing this information
