I love my tattoos but they’re not appropriate – I cover them up for work so I don’t break the dress code
A WOMAN with sleeves of tattoos has shared how she dresses to go to work.
She explained that she covers her tattoos up to avoid breaking the dress code.
The content creator (@mrsinkeduk) shared the outfit video with over 29,000 TikTok followers.
“What I wore to cover my tattoos to the office,” she said, strutting down her kitchen hallway in a black turtleneck, maxi skirt, and boots.
“Monday’s work outfit, is a classic one, knee-length skirt and a turtle neck,” she said. “The weather is miserable today hence the dark colors to suit.”
She explained that she’s happy to abide by the dress code if it means she gets to continue working at a job she loves.
“I love my tattoos and I love my job, this is showing respect to who employs me and therefore pays my bills,” she said.
At first, the content creator started off her tattoo journey with a simple sunflower design, but quickly added sleeves that she deemed inappropriate for work.
“Before I have a full horror sleeve, I just had a sunflower on my other arm,” she said.
“Now I have zombies, blood, guts, and Satan, I think I’ll keep them covered.”
People in the comments commended her for her efforts.
“If they pay well then I would make a solid effort,” said one commenter.
The tattoo enthusiast agreed: “Due to work policies I adhere to them and I get compensated very well so no issues for me covering them at all,” she said.
“I like this take,” said another supporter.
“Get the tattoos you want but still respect that they may not be appropriate for work and dress accordingly. I see no issues.”
