Tattoos at ups

[BobSagetWorksAtUPS]

So I have a half sleeve and am trying to become a driver when I have the seniority to. Will having the tattoo hinder my chance at that? I'm not sure what the company's policy is about tattoos

 

[Cementups]

It will allow you to wear long sleeve shirts all year round

 

[Brownslave688]

You may just have to wear long sleeves all year.

No visible tattoos. That's the official policy. In the real world, it varies from center to center. The only appearance guideline they enforce on the drivers here is the one regarding facial hair. Otherwise, there are guys with long hair and ponytails, some visible tattoos (they might draw the line at being covered head-to-toe), etc.. Some wear sneakers to work. Nobody gives a damn.

I take that back, they do enforce one other appearance guideline here...whether you wear proper boots or sneakers, make sure you've got your UPS socks.

You can wear clown shoes as long as you have UPS socks.

California?

It depends on your building and center. Our DM lets them slide.

 

[Jackburton]

Depends on when you were hired and what local you are under. This document has been passed around so this isn't anything new. This also goes out to other locals that think the Southern Supplement sucks.

we can wear all black socks here

You think the tat looks cool but no one else does. Long sleeves for you in July.

All I could gather from that wall of text was you and others got visible tattoos after a no new tattoo directive came down. Enjoy those pants.

They need a reward for reporting tattoo violations.

Aw come on aren't you tattoo guys tough? You can handle some hair blisters. They told you no new tattoos. You went ahead and did it anyways. You made your bed now sleep in it.

Did you hear the one about the girl giving her new boyfriend a hard time about his little penis. It seems she saw it was tattooed "Eat at Joe's". He told her not to worry cause when erect it read "Eat at Joe's Bar and Grill in Chattanooga, Tennessee".

Eh.. I see your mother's telling stories about me again.

This is why I'm happy I never got tattoos.

Everyone seems to feel unique because they have a tattoo, while I feel unique just because i don't have a single one.
