Tattoos

[geowrian 22,335]

As noted, there are some countries where they look closely at tattoos for gang association.

SLEC (in Philippines) may also require a psychological evaluation.

But your circumstances doesn't raise any concerns that I can think of...you should be fine.

I have big tattoos also.  Was never asked about them.

 

I think you're creating a problem where there is none.

Thank you! I think that you are right , but I just want to be sure .

Are you not already adjusting status here in the US?  That is what your profile says.

I have tattoos on my wrists and the panel physician never once asked or looked at them. You'll be fine!

Okay, but in that case, haven't you already had your medical?

Lmao don't worry i even have an ockult sleeve with a upside down cross and had no issue.

Your tattoo style is fairly common, especially in the upper Midwest. You'll be just fine. 👍

I don't think I can even go out without running into someone with Norse tattoos, myself included.

I don’t think you need to worry about this. I immigrated and I have a full body suit including many face tattoos and hand tattoos and I haven’t been asked my tattoos even once. A few officers have told me they like them but I have not had to explain myself at all. My husband is American and he also has a ton of tattoos including face, throat and hands and we have had 0 issues!

Yeah for immigration it is fine, it is 2019. Just be prepared for getting looks and comments when you get a job depending on what field you're in and what the dress code at work says...

Again I kindof disagree. I honestly wouldn’t sweat it. I have never had any issues at all working (I used to manage in a pharmaceutical office) and have had full time employment since I’ve been in the USA and I have a full body suit with many visible tattoos. You’re going to be fine with you immigration process  and you shouldn’t have employment issues (based on my experience) don’t sweat this part!! Everything else is stressful enough! I have not received any direct negativity on my journey at all. Except from some random ####### on the street telling me I’m too pretty to be too tattooed. But that’s nonreflection of the general population. 

You got this

As I said, it depends on what field you're in.
