No Visible Tattoo Policy
We will be combing the Internet and keeping our ears open for all of the companies with no visible or restrictive tattoo policies and posting links and information about their policies here. We will do everything we can to make sure the information listed here is accurate, but we can’t guarantee it.
Many of these employers actually endorse our Ink Armor sleeves. Tat2X also offers group discounts to employers who qualify. We are proud to help thousands of professionals protect their ink from the sun and their boss. We can help you get the job you deserve!
