Do you ever just think that maybe if you didn't have those tattoos, you wouldn't have to worry about all of this? And do you ever wish you could go back in time and not add the ink? Just curious.

I have had visible tattoos for 15 years and been at UPS for 17. Why is it that my manager is now telling me to cover them up?

I just want a neatly trimmed 1/4 inch goatee. Is that too much to ask? 
Never liked the full beard myself. Too itchy.
Yeah yeah yeah. I know. Too hard to define what is and is not acceptable. Hell, God put it there to grow. Not cut. Screw the uptight poopie heads.

Our policy is what separates us from the rest. Have you ever really paid attention to the fed-ex and dhl guys. The first thing is man to they look awful and second is I make three times as much as them. I don't agree with some of the company views on things but this is one policy I don't mind complying to. I have a tat on my rt calf and cover it up everyday with a band-aid.

Just to clarify, it is the FedEx Ground guys that you are most likely referring to as most, if not all, of the Express employees present themselves and FedEx well. Now, DHL is another story altogether, a story that appears to be drawing to a close.

as much as i like your political views, your asssumption of what is grandfathered in or not does not matter.
ups has the ability to address the dress code and change it if needed. a large number of visable tattoos will never be something they will allow. i dont care how good in taste they are.
you want to invest in art work, buy a painting. you want a job at ups, you gotta do what they tell you to do.

We had an OMS at our center who always showed her thong and tramp stamp whenever she bent over or sat down. She made no effort to conceal them. Not one member of management ever complained.

And I'm sure the guys at the loading dock down at the mill would love to have her deliver there every day. However, I wonder if she would garner the same reaction at a doctor's office or a lawyer's office.
Tramp stamp--I have a 70 yr old X-ray tech at a local ortho surgeon's office who used that term one day. I laughed my butt off.

LOL! You must work here, we got one of them, too!
"No effort to conceal them"????? She made every effort to SHOW them!

You sound really smart, having spent all that money trying to change the way you look and all. I think maybe you should start your own package delivery company and have your first policy be "HEY, IT'S OK IF YOU LOOK LIKE CRAP, WHO CARES WHAT THE CUSTOMERS THINK OF US!!!" Good luck.

Too late--the German Post Office already tried that (DHL) and that is coming to a close really soon.
