@ShainaDudas None of our surveys/interviews pointed to any of that, but some scholarly articles that we found said that typically those in the medical field or in management for large corporations are less accepting of tattoos.

@Anita1dancer @ISU_COMference 93 participants engaged in our online survey, and we conducted 11 interviews. Everyone being in the 21-25 age range, which is the typical age for those finding jobs out of college.

@ISU_COMference Yes, we would consider those to fall under the body modifications category. When conducting our archival research there were tweets found where people with colored hair and piercing were also discriminated against when searching for jobs.

@ISU_COMference We sampled those who were 18-25 years old. Majority in the 22-25 age range. These ages are most affected since they are typically the ones trying to find jobs out of college.

7/8 Most everyone we surveyed/interviewed were all happy with their decision to get tattoos and stated that their tattoos really meant a lot to them. Nearly everyone said they would get more #tattoos in the future. What do you guys think about the topic? #COMference297
