[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 361160, member: 13254"] I agree that a Tat on the forearm is [I]easily [/I]covered, but is that really [I]reasonable[/I] in AZ. TX, NV, SoCal? I don't think so. It gets too freakin' hot in those locations. Until about 5-6 years ago, I had never heard of UPS's Tattoo policy, I'm not even sure it existed. We had several drivers that had visible Tats in various places and nothing was said to them. Then all of a sudden people were being told to cover them or find another job. The union as far as I know did nothing to stop this push, IMHO they should have shut that down.These drivers were hired (in most cases) WITH the tats and were not told they were not allowed. I know I was never told and this is something that should be shared BEFORE hiring or promoting. To enforce this after the fact is wrong. Because he wanted/needed to wear shorts we had one driver go through several very painful and expensive laser sessions to remove a tat from his calf that was present the day they hired him, all the time he was in training and the day he made seniority. It was no secret that he had the tat and no one said boo to him about it for 3 years. Now I don't really think the company should pay for the laser thing, that was really the drivers choice, but. What IF the previous tat had been in a place that could not be covered and had to be removed for the driver to keep their job? IMO, that would possibly fall under the second policy I posted. OH and BTW, I only have noe small tat that would never show unless I went shirtless, and that aint gonna happen. Also, I don't plan on getting any other tats. So that's not my interest in the subject. [/QUOTE]
