What if someone had tattoos that were of an inferior quality, would you be able to turn them away from jobs so as to not be associated with some other tattooists work
My tattooist probably wouldn't hire anyone with shit tattoos for this exact reason.
In jobs like that, the satff themselves are an advert for their services. Ditto a really really posh high end fashion business, they would want someone who looks exactly the part. It's perfectly fine for employers to advertise for someone 'well presented', meaning looks good and smart in a suit, no visible piercings or tattoos. I simply wouldn't apply for those jobs for two reasons.
1 - I woulnd't get it. I am not 'well presented' in that way 2 - I wouldn't like it. I wouldn't be a good 'personality fit' for them.
Why on earth a girl that looks the way the muslim girl looks (clothes and makeup alone, lets leave aside the headscarf) would want to work somewhere where the sylists look the way they look (fishnet tights, low cut dresses, loads of tattoos) is beyond me.
Maybe image *shouldn't* matter, but there are some industries in which is *does*.
Maybe that dishwasher would feel completely left out if he/she didn't speak italian, maybe the waiters speak in italian all the time. Maybe they would prefer someone who is italian, so that person wouldn't feel left out.
Regardless of the muslim girls 'hurt feelings' - the 25 hairdressers that turned the girl down previously all clearly had their reasons too. This one salon owner is merely a scapegoat.
