We hire people with visible ink; it's no deterrent whatsoever if they are the appropriate candidate. BUT - they must agree to cover them at all times during working hours if they are in customer-facing roles. So are we judging them or not?
For real? That seems a little much if they're not visible.Ours now have to be registered at work. If you wanted new one it has to be approved by the department.

But how do you know, if they're not visible? Random strip searches?Really not uncommon in LE, they don't want any obscene or tasteless tattoos in the department.
What are your thoughts on tattoos? I don’t have any but I’ve always admired tattoos with meaning and significance. I’ve been wanting one for about a year now. Recently, I decided I want to get the word “survivor” in my native language with the outline of a butterfly next to it on my forearm. It signifies me beating cancer and it’s something I really want to do. I have an awful scar on my neck from surgery for my cancer, so now I want something on my body that I like and want there. I want something I chose and something that makes me smile. Make sense?
My husband hates tattoos. He says they’re tacky and doesn’t want me to get one. I don’t think he’d be terribly angry if I got one, but I know he’d prefer if I didn’t.
What are your thoughts on tattoos and on significant others having them?

Now that one I would LOVE to have written into our policy manual! And infidelity with another also-married staff member resulting in literally years of drama for the rest of us all to live down? There needs to be a punishment worse than getting fired for that!Lol you've never been to a police academy, yeah naked is a thing. It is an ethics thing, you need to be transparent on your life. Ethical is everything. Same way infidelity can get you discharged, who would know?!?!!
I HOPE people are silently judging me for my tattoos. That was my main objective in getting them. Alas, nobody seems to care.
I think in LE it just depends what jurisdiction you’re under, right?Really not uncommon in LE, they don't want any obscene or tasteless tattoos in the department.
LE as in Law Enforcement?Really not uncommon in LE, they don't want any obscene or tasteless tattoos in the department.
Yeah I was going to say I know I’ve seen local cops as well as federal LE who have tattoos so I don’t think there’s any set rule on it.LE as in Law Enforcement?
A big chunk of our cops are ex-military so tattoos are common. Beards, however, unless you are undercover, are forbidden.

Same with the beard rule. This is one department in this area that allows beards on uniformed officers.It does go department to department. Some have no rules some do. It varies as much as say Dinsey does to Target.
