Abstract: This qualitative research seeks to determine the perceptions of school stakeholders regarding educators with visible tattoos. A snowball sampling technique using social media to access the sample garnered 246 responses to an open-ended survey linked from an online survey tool. While approximately 71% of the respondents felt that educators should not be required to cover visible tattoos in the workplace or at school-sponsored activities, a majority of the responses indicated that administrators monitor the content and placement of tattoos to avoid the presentation of inappropriate content or placement based on the age and maturity level of the students. Detractors of this position cited religious opposition or a generally negative stereotype of the types of people with tattoos as a reason to restrict the visibility of any body art at school or while at school-sponsored activities. Based on these findings, school districts should evaluate educator dress code standards to reflect the acceptance of tattoos as a method of personal expression similar to that of choice of dress or accessories.
