Can't Get a Job With Your Tattoos?

It's hard enough to get a job in today's economy, but if you have an embarrassing tattoo, you might have an even more difficult time landing your dream job. Now, even the federal government agrees.

In Spring 2009, Congress sent President Obama a $410 billion spending bill that also included $200,000 for a small tattoo removal clinic in California that specifically helps people who can't afford to get tattoo removal treatments like laser removal. One volunteer at the clinic said that most people who want to remove their tattoos are in their mid 30s and looking for a job.

"They're caught between a rock and hard place," said the volunteer. "They want to be able to get jobs, but they can't afford to remove it, and they won't get hired with the tattoos."

Because tattoo removal methods like laser tattoo removal can be expensive and require many treatment sessions, this clinic is a blessing for unemployed people who want a tattoo removed. For people with embarrassing tattoos, they might want to get that tattoo removed before a job interview.
