The purpose of this exercise is to reflect on the implications on a person’s career when planning on getting a tattoo. Assume that a friend of yours informed you that she is planning on getting a tattoo. She will be graduating soon from a university with a degree in business and will be looking for a job in marketing, which is the field that she concentrated on for her business degree. What advice would you give to your friend concerning the tattoo she is about to obtain? Your advice will cover the following aspects of getting a tattoo:

(1) Locations for the tattoo on a person’s body that could limit an individual’s opportunity to obtain a job offer or promotion into management in the marketing field.

(2) Images or topics for a tattoo which could be considered controversial or offensive to employers or customers and could limit career advancement.

(3) Size and prominence of the tattoo, which can make a strong first impression during interviews. Be prepared to share the advice you gave to the friend with your fellow classmates when called upon by the instructor.
