Lady Fired 30mins After Getting Dream Job Because Of Her Tattoo

A woman who landed her ‘perfect’ job was fired half an hour later after
the company learned she had a tattoo on her hand. Claire Shepherd
applied for the role of retail merchandiser at logistics centre Dee Set
in her home city of
Swansea, Wales. Clearly impressed with her
experience, the 27-year-old was offered the position after passing a
telephone interview with ‘flying colours’.
However, after discovering that Claire had inkings on her hand – which
would be difficult to cover up – the firm backtracked and said they could
not hire her as the design may ’cause offence’.
Frustrated Claire, who got the intricate tattoo that extends from her
forefinger, over her hand and on to her forearm 18 months ago, vented
her anger on Facebook. She told her followers:

Dee Set soon got wind of the Facebook post and offered Claire the job back, but it was too little too late and she rejected the proposal.

Claire said to FEMAIL:

“They saw my tattoo and saw it was not offensive. But I feel if I hadn’t gone viral they wouldn’t have offered me the job back. We are all individuals and someone’s skin shouldn’t affect their employment. I’m glad they saw their mistake and corrected it though, that’s a step forward. In my opinion, tattoos do not affect your performance or ability to do a job and do not pose a health and safety risk or cause any harm. It is literally just some colour or a picture on your skin.”

Claire’s rant has been shared nearly 2,000 times now and re-tweeted by
American plus-size model Tess Holliday, who is a fellow ink devotee.
