I'm thinking about getting a part time job and want to know which one do you guys think is worse to an employer. scars from self harm on my left arm or a tattoo? I was thinking about ways to cover it up.

Well, depends on the employer. Some places of employment don't care of you have tattoos and piercings. Other places might be more conservative about them. What kind of place are you thinking of applying to? A fast food chain? A store? A restaurant where you'd be waiting tables or greeting the diners?

Tattoos are becoming very common. If it is not a job at a very conservative workplace, I think you will be OK.

I think tatoo are more agreable than scars because majority of people do tatoo today .but when someone see scars they think at bad thinks that you are violent etc .

I'm looking at a career as a lab technician after graduation. I'm an unemployed part time student. clerk, cashier, stoker, food service any work experience along the way to pay for school would be great.

Handheart,
I agree with you. People perceive scars in a negative way. Tattoos are becoming more socially acceptable. So i'm leaning more towards this direction.

If you work at LabCorp. They don't care. Of course I will tell you it is the worst place on earth to work. It is a sweat shop. I know I worked there

Tattoos are socially acceptable now in most places---as are piercings.
