Abstract
Topic: Can having tattoos stop you from getting the job you want?
Intervention Strategy: I used brainstorming for my essay. I came up with ideas to explain about tattoos in the workplace. Tattoos can stop you from getting the job you want. I feel that having a tattoo does not stop you from performing the job you are supposed to do. Does having a tattoo prevent you from doing your work? Why are some employers against employees having a tattoo? What harm is it to have a tattoo in the workplace? Does the first amendment support the fact of getting denied a job for having a tattoo?
Thesis: Having a tattoo in the workplace doesn’t hinder you from doing your job; just some employers are looking for a reason not to hire a person.
Three supporting points:
Some tattoos are inappropriate for the work place.
In one state it is going against your first amendment to get turned down for a job because of having a tattoo.
Having tattoos doesn’t prevent you from doing your job.
