Is disqualifying a qualified candidate with facial tatoos in an interview discrimination?

No...the person you are going to hire, is going to represent your business or the company you work for...if you feel the person would not best represent you or your company because of their face tattoos, then you have the right not to hire them...there is no such thing as tattoo discrimination...that is why I got my tats where only I and people I let see them...Is disqualifying a qualified candidate with facial tatoos in an interview discrimination?
Depends. . .





Your employees represent your business. Every company has an image that they wish to portray. That is why one wears nice clothing to an interview.





If I were interviewing candidates for a job, and it came down to one with a facial tattoo, and one without, and they were equally qualified, I would go with the one with NO facial tattoo.





Discrimination? No. It is a CHOICE to get that tattoo. If you wish to work in corporate America, and decide to get a tattoo on your face, kiss that career goodbye. Discrimination is when someone excludes an individual based upon things that are either beyond ones control or have absolutely no bearing on their ability to be taken seriously and respected in a job. Religion is a reason to discriminate. And I have yet to see a religion that requires its followers to get facial tattoos.Is disqualifying a qualified candidate with facial tatoos in an interview discrimination?
No if u are dealing with the public and dress codes . U can leave a bad impression! They r looking out for the company
A company has a right to portray a certain image to the public and their customers. A person does not have the right to put things on their body, permanent or temporary, and demand that they be able to work like that. You can't have a mohawk, 20 piercings in one ear, a tattoo on the head or visible part of the body and think you can do what the hell you want at the work place. no one forces a person to get a tattoo, wear a vulgar t-shirt, or dye their hair an unorthodox hue. you have the right to do those things in your free time, of course, but you do not have the right to impose those choices on your employer and his or her business practices. so, basically, choose what's more important.... your ability to express yourself or the paycheck every week?





major lesson....... don't get tattoos on your face unless you are a troglodyte, in prison for life, a hard-core punk, or someone with the name Queequeg. by the way, tattoos on the face look really F'n dumb too.
I definately agree with hexe. If they are going to work with the public, then tatoos can be taken into account. Thats how modeling industries can be so picky about who they hire. But if you are hiring them to do a hidden job, you might not have a case, though most jobs do involve some public visibility.
it's not illegal to deny someone a job due to tattoos. if the company has a certain ';look'; to uphold then that is their choice.
Yes, but not ILLEGAL discrimination if a business case can be shown, such as working with the public.
