I guess there are some companies out there that still think people are offended by tattoos.
Claire Shepherd, a 27-year-old from Swansea, Wales, who has six years of retail experience, had just nailed a phone interview with Dee Set, a U.K. chain, and was offered a job, which she accepted.
A mere 30 minutes later, Claire received an email notifying her of the company’s dress code, which stated all employees must cover their tattoos in case some customers find them offensive.
Claire happens to be covered in tattoos, including on her neck and hands, and all of this would be impossible to cover on a daily basis, so Claire emailed Dee Set back to explain this.
Dee Set emailed Claire back to inform her they had rescinded the job offer because of the amount of tattoos she had. Shocked at the turn of events, Claire took it to Facebook in a post that has gone viral.
After the media got a hold of Claire’s post, Dee Set felt like idiots, so they offered Claire her job back, but Claire said no because she had already accepted another job offer from retailer B&M.
Pretty great that Claire was able to get another job so quickly after Dee Set made fools of themselves. More and more people nowadays are getting tattoos, so that old mindset of “tattoos offending people” will have to extinguish sooner or later. Unless of course you have a tribal or barbed wire tattoo.
