Starbucks has long had a strict policy against visible tattoos. But, in a few weeks that may change.
This week, the coffee chain said it is taking a second look at its tattoo policy as it revisits its worker dress code, reports USA Today. A policy update is expected to be announced in the next few weeks.
Employees have been pushing for Starbucks to allow them to show off their tattoos and fulfill the hipster barista stereotype for some time. A Coworker.org petition on the topic has gained 22,608 signatures.
I see lots of large tattoos from the staff working at Starbucks already and if there is a policy against it, it must not be enforced. To me, they look tacky and ghetto.
I personally would not get a tattoo, because I prefer the natural look. BUT, I also do not care if someone has a tattoo, as long as it wasn't discriminatory.
We're my wife works all tattoos must be coverd no matter how small. She works for a family dentist and they do not like tattoos at all. It's their business and they can do what they want. My wife has no problem with it because they had people who applied there that were coverd in tattoos , they looked like a freak show. People should think long and hard about getting tatto all over their body, can hurt you in trying to get a job.

In our office of about 400, there are visible tattoos here and there, but mostly subtle bands around the upper arm or ankle that are only visible on days when the person wears certain clothes, mostly in summertime.
I bumped into an old coworker from a long time ago. He served in the air force and had some sleeves done on his arms. He wanted to join the national guard as part of a drone wing on cape cod. Receptionist said they wouldn't take him. "Sarge doesn't like tats"
For a long time in Mass tats were illegal. Underground parties would exist or going out of state. Once they were made legal I think eight or so years ago they have increased. Now there are places across from bars in malls that have them. Easy access I think meant lowering the quality or at least what people wanted.
If you want one don't get names, don't put any religious or political symbols etc. It also costs a good deal for removal as well. Just because something looks good in your 20's and 30's doesn't mean it will 20 or 30 years down the line.
