Surprise: facetattoos lower your chances of getting hired

Breaking news: Tribal tattoos on your face might scare off employers and hinder your chances of getting a job unless your name is Mike Tyson. At least that is what a survey by YouGov makes us want to think. Neck tattoos and inked hands also significantly lower your chances of getting hired. According to the HR decision makers taking part in the survey, the safest spot to get a tattoo without risking staying unemployment is the lower back. Anyway, if somebody purposely starts to show off his or her tramp stamp during a job interview, it is highly doubtful whether any employer would stay interested.
