breaking the tattoo taboo
A Recap of our LinkedIn Live event on Monday June 3 at 4pm ET

breaking the tattoo taboo

For me, one of the standout moments from our Live discussion on 'Breaking the Tattoo Taboo' was realizing just how much our personal stories resonate with each other and with all of you. Sheva Guy, PhD and I discovered even more common ground, and having her sister join us was so special. It’s clear that our shared experiences help break down the stereotypes around tattoos and professionalism.

Remember y'all. You are not alone.

Takeaways (TL;DR)

  1. Tattoos Embody Professionalism (pun intended): Seriously, Tattoos showcase valuable professional traits like patience, resilience, creativity, and courage.
  2. Our Stories Matter: Sharing our journeys helps normalize tattoos in the workplace and challenge outdated stereotypes. Your stories and insights in the chat made the session dynamic and inspiring.
  3. Challenging Stereotypes: While perceptions of tattoos have improved in some aspects, it's still tougher for men, especially Black and Brown men, to break out of stereotypes and be judged fairly. We've got work to do on this front.
