If you want to work in a hotel, does it matter if you have a tattoo?

This question is asked to the right person. As a former hotel employee, I can definitely tell you that tattoos have no influence in domestic hotels. However, you won't be fired directly because you have a tattoo, unless your tattoo is extremely conspicuous and can't cover up your position.

1. The location of the tattoo is the main factor that determines whether you are accepted or not.

In fact, tattoos are very common now, and people will not think that having tattoos is a bad person. However, the hotel is a service industry after all, and guests' recognition and acceptance of the hotel brand comes from all aspects of hotel services. Many hotels will worry that their staff members have tattoos, which will make guests have a bad impression and affect the hotel brand. So when you have a tattoo, the best way is to hide it at work so that no one can find it. However, if your tattoo is on your neck and ankle, which is easy to expose and difficult to cover, it will be more troublesome and probably won't be hired.

2. Look at the position you choose. Tattoos don't matter if you're not a frontline employee.

There are many positions in the hotel. If you go to a hotel and don't want to be a front-line employee such as catering, front desk and concierge, it doesn't matter if you have tattoos. Because there is no direct contact with guests in the office area, the influence of tattoos is naturally reduced a lot. In my impression, the sales boss of my last hotel had tattoos on his arms, and he was equally popular.

3, look at the hotel brand, some hotels don't care.

At present, there are many hotels at home and abroad, and the themes planned by different hotels are different. Most hotels in China can't accept the concept of tattoo, but many hotels abroad can. Instead, they think it is a function. For example, Starwood owns a hotel called W, and the theme of W hotel is fashion trend. How exaggerated is the trend? Waiters can wear jeans, the head of the personnel department is the explosive head, and the front desk is the DJ center at night. Tattoos are nothing in this hotel.

Therefore, if you want to work in a hotel, the influence of tattoos is not particularly great, but mainly depends on your personal ability. To put it bluntly, if your ability is outstanding enough, the boss will definitely try to help you solve the tattoo problem. The problem is not big.
