'Tattoo taboo' at work is becoming a thing of the past

A Merseyside man believes tattoo taboo in the workplace is becoming a thing of the past.

For some time, inked employees were viewed as having a "bad reputation" by society. They were often associated with negative career outcomes, stigmatised, and in some instances not even recruited in the first place. However, Professor Matthew Tucker, of Liverpool John Moore’s University, claims society's link between tattoos and unprofessionalism is now getting weaker and weaker.

The 41-year-old, from Formby, has 10 tattoos himself - the majority of which are visible when he wears shorts and a t-shirt.
