A lot of companies and industries have been pretty strict with their tattoos policies. When I worked at Disney World not only were tattoos taboo but you couldn t dye your hair an unnatural color, couldn t wear too much make up, and you could only have one piercing per ear. I m sorry, the 1950s called, they want their rules back. Thankfully, companies are updating their policies to adapt with the times and I think it s great. There is no correlation between a person s experience and qualifications and the amount of tattoos they have.
According to WMUR, New Hampshire State Police have decided to update their guidelines around arm tattoos in hopes that it encourages recruitment. Applicants with arm tattoos will now be considered but of course the tattoos can t be racist, sexist, or indecent in any way.

Tattoos that are deemed racist, sexist or indecent in any way will still not be allowed.
