Research Proposal
I wish to explore the workforce strategies on tattoos. And my research topic would be how the tattooed employees observed by employers, coworkers, and clients in various professions, and the factors affecting the managers’ attitudes toward worker tattoos? The research questions I will use are such as, does the what effect or influence does the location or the issue of the tattoo have in the manager's opinion of the tattooed individual? How difficult is it to secure a job with a tattoo? How are the tattooed workers paid in their respective places (comparing the tattooed and those without tattoos)? Since tattoos have become a common thing in society with diverse perceptions, I would also examine how the workplaces have or not changed places to accommodate the tattooed.
The topic suits into two different conversations, comprising academic discussions about the origin of tattoos and the professional side about work. Nowadays, tattoos are more conventional, unlike in the past, when they did not have a role to play in culture. According to research done a few years ago, for 500 people aged over 18 and below 50, 24% have tattoos (Tews & Stafford, 2019). It implies that almost a quarter of the population is tattooed, and the number continues to increase. With the increase of tattoos, the perceptions about them may change. For instance, some may decide to have them inked.
I believe that I have enough knowledge of tattooing's fundamental issues in the workplace, like the rules of displaying tattoos and the varying enforcement of tattoos. I will refer to different relevant articles that discuss the tattoo policies and their impact. Although I have dependable sources about the origin of tattoos in America and even in the region, I will link the sources with the current tattoo culture in the United States of America. I believe I will find how the managers view tattoos and the consequential effect in their careers.
