'Hide your tats, customers won't put up with it'

But when you're interviewing someone all you know about is the cover. You don't know the person beneath.

And the whole point of the interview is to find out about the person beneath, not to find out more about their cover.

But an interview can't actually do that, at least to the necessary degree. More time needs to spent for them to give you a job over someone else.
 
The customer's can see into the garage and don't feel comfortable leaving their £80,000 car to someone with tattoos everywhere.

I would have to agree here. Not that I have anything against Tattoos but it just doesn't wash in a Porsche garage imo. Unfortunately that's the society we live in.
 
I don't know abouit you but I only "see" female ones. ;)

Well there is quite a bit of variation even in just the female ones :o

his manager is no doubt old school and thinks that its just old eccentrics who buy porsches


when infact it is people like david beckham or young professionals who actually couldnt give a damn about wether someone has tattoos or not. i dont even think my mum would give a damn about the mechanic having tattoos and she hates them

Surely its company policy not to have bare skin exposed when working close to fast moving machinery anyway? Infact, isn't it law that you must wear the right protection or have long sleeves when working in close proximity to such things?

hell no !

google what happens when you get a sleeve or glove caught in a drill/lathe/balancing machine/anything that spins

lots of brains on view
 
Yea, I actually thought that too.

Ok, I have a new one, I will REFUSE any public service from a car mechanic to a supermarket checkout if the employee does not have any visible tattoos.

So now can everywhere make it a policy that all employees must have a visible tattoo?

Why do so many people in this thread completely miss the point?

Society thinks like this. Yes, its wrong, but it thinks like it, therefore some people choose to tailor business to suit the perceptions of the majority of customers.
 
Sounds like a perfectly reasonable point to make. After all tattoos just make him look like he's been in prison, so I wouldn't want him touching my £80k car if I had one.

*opens can of worms*

That is how people think, and I think its reasonable to be expected if he does have tattoos all over his arms.

They could but you're such a minority it would bankrupt them, so they wont.
 
So we can deduce from this Porsche owners are snobby cocks.

That might be a reasonable deduction, yes.

But if you are in the business of selling products and services to snobby *****'s, then you tailor your offering to that demographics wants and needs.
 
If he doesn't like his employers policy he could simply leave.

He works for a company where image is absolutely everything.

Why is he suprised they would make such a request? He should simply comply, as its a reasonable enough request.

This.
