Describe your profession:: I am a program coordinator within the student affairs department at a higher education institution. The students are usually pretty facsinated by my body art, but the faculty and administrators... eh, not so much.

i would never feel inclined to disclose my body art in a job interview in that, for the most part, it could become an unnecessary disadvantage in a presumably closed-minded culture.

it's easy for an employer to NOT hire you because of ink - it's a huge HR issue if they fire you because of it.

(and really gorgeous work, BTW)

What U. are you working at? Are you in Pensecola? I have friends working there. I was in Mississippi for about 5 years so many of my students and colleagues migrated that direction.

At 3:55pm on July 23rd, 2007, Jeff Schulz said…: WOW! Those are beautiful tattoos! The color is outstanding. How long ago did you have them done?

So the faculty and administrators are too keen on the tattoos? Any specific examples?
