Regardless of its origin, the primary focus of modern tattoos is self-expression. Once seen as taboo in Western cultures, the stereotypes associated with tattoos are slowly being disbanded and now accepted. In the United States, Japan & Tahiti, Tattoos are said to be in a “renaissance period” and gaining wide spread popularity although at one point of history Western cultures deemed them as taboo.

Tattoo issues for employers depend largely on what kind & where the tattoo is sported by employees and certainly the law tends to support employer dress code/appearance policies. Moreover employers branding image must be regulated with consistency by retaining flexibility in creating rules for their policies.
