“…I think there is a stigma attached to face tattoos'. These findings confirm Miller et al's (2009), Antonellis and Silsbee (2018) and Karl et al's (2016) study indicating that VBM is less acceptable when face-to-face contact is necessary for the job role.…”

This study investigates the relationship between tourism and hospitality manager's perceptions of visible body modification (VBM) and recruitment and operational practices. It examines how managers evaluate, recruit and manage the appearance of employees with VBM. Qualitative research was undertaken, consisting of 14 semi-structured interviews with tourism managers in the North East of England. The interviews were thematically coded and analysed. It is demonstrated that managers recognize VBM as expressions of socio-cultural trends, however their personal experiences, values, expectations, knowledge and attitudes towards VBM may influence hiring practices. Organizations must continue to review their recruitment and operational policies to reflect the evolving socio-cultural values in contemporary society to be more inclusive and provide guidance and clarity concerning VBM. This study offers some important insights into the phenomena by developing an understanding of employees with VBM from the employer's lens, exploring employers' perceptions through their personal emotions, assumptions, misconceptions and societal expectations of the modern world.

“…As noted previously, persons with readily visible tattoos have been associated with criminality, deviant behaviors and incarceration (Adams, ; Braithwaite, Robillard, Woodring, Stephens & Arriola, ; DeMello, ). Hence, persons with aggression‐related readily visible tattoos sometimes experience discrimination and stigmatization (Baumann et al ., ; Brallier et al ., ; Ellis, ; Hawkes et al ., ; Zeiler & Kasten, ) with such experience sometimes leading to an increased likelihood of tattoo concealment or preference for tattoos that can be easily concealed so as to avoid or reduce potential stigmatization (Antonellis, Berry & Silsbee, ; Dickson et al ., ). In line with this “negative social sanction” (Adams, , p. 278) perspective of readily visible and easily concealed tattooing, the present results showing that only 13.3% of persons with tattoos have at least one readily visible tattoo is not surprising.…”

To our knowledge, no previous large-scale study has examined the prevalences and correlates of having only easily concealed tattoos, or readily visible tattoos. We conducted an exploratory online survey in Norway asking 15,654 (6,151 females) persons aged 16-91 (m = 33.65 ± 12.27) about various demographic, sports, substance use, mental health, personality, and tattooing questions. The estimated prevalence of tattooing was 20.8% (females: 23.8%, males: 17.9%), of which 13.3% had readily visible tattoos. Results of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that females, being older than 19 years, higher body mass index, lifetime anabolic-androgenic steroid use (AAS), and higher scores on extraversion were associated with higher odds of having a tattoo. Factors associated with higher odds of having only easily concealed tattoos were being 40-49 (versus those ≤ 19) years old, being only high school or tertiary (versus being only primary school) educated, often or not (versus always) exercising in a gymnasium, and high scores on agreeableness. Females, and higher scores on extraversion and neuroticism were associated with higher odds of having at least one readily visible tattoo. Our findings delineate the significance of demographic variables, gymnasium exercise, AAS, and personality in the practice of tattooing.

“…The concern for managers is that in the past at least, both tattoos and body art have been associated with risky and deviant behavior in Western culture. Questions exist from a management perspective as to how tolerant retail customers may be and what stereotypes might exist (see Totten, Lipscomb, & Jones, 2009;Ellis, 2015 andAntonellis, Jr., Berry, &Silsbee, 2017). These questions include: What size of tattoo is acceptable?…”

The primary purpose of this study was to assess the extent to which attitudes among a current sample of college students regarding persons with body art may differ from those reported approximately ten years previous. Using the same instrument and general sampling procedure as in an earlier study, a survey was conducted resulting in a geographically dispersed sample of 434 respondents ranging in age from 18 to 49 years. Although it may have been expected that variations in the obtained sample from the earlier one as well as the passage of time would result in differences in attitudes, such was not the case. Exploratory Factor Analysis revealed that the factor structure inherent in the present data was virtually identical to that reported in the earlier study. Although there are relatively minor differences, overall the pattern of attitudes and stereotypes toward persons with body art are quite similar to that reported in the earlier study. Specific similarities and differences between the two data sets and their implications for marketing management are discussed.
