(http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/business-etiquette.html) Workplace etiquette is the code of comduct for all employees in a work place to abide by. Etiquette is the golden rule describing the manner in which employees should represent themselves and the company at all times.

Workplace etiquette also deals with the physical appearance of its employees; with things such as tattoos in the workplace, hair color, following company procedures to avoid mistakes, all the way down to the protocol to handling mistakes when they are made and steps to take to avoid these same mistakes in the future. Tattoos have become a common trend amongst the up and coming generations. When deciding to get a tattoo it is always important to choose a place that can easily be covered by clothing.

...A New Era Arises - But are Tattoos and Piercings Wrong for the Workplace? COM/150 August 14, 2011 Timothy Mcknight Abstract Many people from the age of 40 down have begun a new trend, one that seemed to catch on and run wild with many, including the youth. Take a good look around regardless of the time zone or area code you live in, and you will notice something that I would call a phenomenon among ages. A large number of men, women, boys, and girls will display their meaning of art. A piece of art that symbolizes different meanings to different people. Regardless of the meaning that an individual may have for their body art, there are some employers who do not agree with this type of display of individuality. Are they wrong, or are they right? No matter what anyone may feel about tattoos or body piercings, it is prevalent that they exist among us, and each of us will come face to face with a dilemma that is widespread one day. A team concept should be strongly considered prior to making any drastic decision and placing a tattoo or body piercing in a visible location. Individuality may be preferred but that will only work if you happen to own the company you work for. Otherwise be mindful of this and place your tattoo or body piercing in a discreet location. A New Era Arises - But are Tattoos and Piercings Wrong for the Workplace? Living in an ever-changing era, times are difficult for many to grasp today, especially concerning permanent markings on one’s...

...inked from wrists to biceps with Asian-themed tattoos, applied for a position at a conservative company, where he was given a chance for an interview. Upon this interview he decided to wear a long cuffed shirt which he usually would not wear as it ended up showing part of his tattoo on his wrist. He didn’t get the job even though he was more than qualified for the position he had applied for, it could be questioned if the tattoos had anything to do with this decision made by the interviewing company (Pyrillis, 2010). Although people have tattoos and body piercings in a workplace their performance while working should matter not their appearance. With that in mind it can be viewed that tattoos and body piercings in a workplace or during a hiring process can make speculations of unfair judgment against potential employees, since it can be argued that the interviewer bases their opinion of the candidate with the tattoos or piercings work off of their appearance versus their work history, performance, and work ethics. Many persons feel as though it is necessary to cover up any tattoos or piercings while in their workplace. One example would be a survey of two thousand twenty people was taken where sixty eight percent of men and seventy two percent of women felt it necessary to cover up their tattoos and/or piercings in the workplace (Pyrillis, 2010). While on the other side of this argument the remaining people felt that their tattoos and/or piercings should be allowed to be...

...Apple team member To our apple team member, First of all Apple wants to thank you for your focus, dedication and the great job that you have done so far this year. We recognize your efforts to represent our brand in the best way possible each and every year. As you all know, in September 2012 Apple launched a new mapping system for the new IOS6. We launched this new mapping system knowing it is a major initiative for Apple. Unfortunately, we fell short on our commitment with the launching of our new mapping system, causing many confusion and dissatisfaction between our customers. We are aware of this problem and we are immensely sorry for the stress and frustration this may have caused to your everyday job here at Apple. We are working hard to make the customer experience even better and within days of the IOS6 release we managed to fix items on the mapping with the right name at the right place. We will be seeking outside help from mapping-technology firms and we are urging maps provider Tom Tom to fix some of the mistakes in the current map. Meanwhile this problem is being worked on; it is still possible to try alternatives like downloading Bing, MapQuest, Waze, Google or Nokia maps. It is also important to know that the more customers use the mapping system on the new IOS6, the better it will get. We are addressing this problem actively and we are sure to have this matter established for our customers to have a better experience with our mapping system. We as Apple...

...personality type to do. After taking the Keirsey Temperament survey I discovered I’m an INFJ, which is the rarest personality type of all. The name dubbed to my personality type is “The Caregiver”. It states that they are caring and parental towards everyone they love and love organization, yet extremely unfocused and in need of routine (INFJ 1). When I read that I couldn’t help but think that for once, an online quiz was actually right. It also said I was good with people and was well suited for medical work or being an artist of some sort, which just happened to fit two of my career choices (Careers 1). My careers chosen have no correlation what-so-ever beside the kooky brain that likes all of them. I decided Tattoo Artist was a good one because I love tattoos and the idea of a piece of your work becoming a part of another person. Then, I chose Special Education...

...February 2013 Military Tattoo Policies Hey! Do you have any tattoos? Does it affect your job in any way? Well I know if you are in the military it can affect you. Military tattoo policies vary in each branch. They choose the policy based on, if the tattoos are a distraction from good military order and discipline, where they are located, how inappropriate they are and how many they have. I agree with these policies yet disagree also. Are your tattoos a distraction from good military order and discipline? In the Army tattoos on the hands and the back of the neck are now permitted as long as the tattoos are not extremist, indecent, sexist or racist. In the Coast Guard if any of your tattoos can be seen while in dress blues they are unauthorized, also in the Coast Guard no visible piercings are allowed. In the Marines they are prohibited from having a full sleeve tattoo, it does not look professional in dress blues. What would you say if you saw a man covered in tattoos protecting the president or anyone of high power? Me, personally, I do not think that tattoos that all over the body is professional, military or not if you are in a work environment tattoos should not be shown. Say you were a lawyer, is the judge or others going to take you very serious if you have tattoos on your hands, neck and face? I know I sure wouldn’t. No tattoos may not mean you are a certain kind of person, but they do not look professional. I do not personally have a tattoo, but my girlfriend has one...

...2013 Research Paper Tattoos From the time we are born until the time we are elderly we are constantly around tattoos. In the United States a person must be 18 before they can get a tattoo legally without parents consent. Therefore, many children like the idea of tattoos, so many put on temporary tattoos such as the stick on temporary ones with water and henna tattoos. A tattoo is a type of art where he or she gets a permanent picture or design process of pricking and ingraining an indelible pigment. The word tattoo is said to have came from two different origins the Polynesian word ‘ta’ which means striking something and the Tahitian word ‘tatau’ which means ‘to mark something (“Tattoo Temple”). Many people across the world have tattoos in all different sizes, colors, and places. Each person who has a tattoo has gotten it for one reason or another. It is amazing how long tattoos have been around for. One fact obtained from doing research is, “Believe it or not, some scientists say that certain marks on the skin of the Iceman, a mummified human body dating from about 3300 B.C., are tattoos” (Krcmarik). It is very interesting to know that tattoos have been around for this many years, it was until 1991 when the tattoos were discover on the Iceman by scientist Otzi. It is incredible how they were still able to discover these markings on the Iceman after so many years of being frozen. Many people over look tattoos as dumb useless art on the body, but many tattoos have a symbolic meaning...

Those worthy of a moko would go through the process when they hit puberty. A mark of beauty or ferocity; used by warriors to attract tribal women. If you’re not Maori then its just a tattoo, and wearing it “just for fun” is often considered offensive. Men were allowed to have a full facial moko. Those of higher rank (chiefs and warriors) were usually the only ones who could afford it, but were also the only ones who held positions worthy of getting one. Women traditionally only were allowed to be tattooed on their lips, around the chin, and sometimes the nostrils. The "epitome of Maori female beauty" was seen as a woman with full blue lips. Those who went without tattoos were seen as persons of “no social status.” Woman’s chin Moko: Ready to marry and bear children Now has speaking rights within extended family or tribe Full leg:Demonstrates movement Arm:Messages related to occupation Warriors and chiefs wore it for battles as a form of intimidation for their enemies.Maori dancers...

Derek had to embrace the aspects of being in a situation that he was not comfortable with and do the best that he could with it. Even though he had a swastika tattoo on his chest, the prison officials forced him to work with the black men. Prison changed the way that Derek thought about life, causing him to change his way as well as no longer practicing in or for the KKK. The movie American History X is about two brothers, Danny and Derek Vineyard who are skinheads. Derek was the older of the two brothers. The movie beings as with three black men pulling up trying to break into Derek’s truck, so Derek comes out with a pistol and shoots and kills one, curb stomps the other, and the one as the driver gets away. The effect of his actions landed himself a conviction of voluntary manslaughter and three years in prison.

I have deliberately chosen two photographs whose subject involves some type of writing literally on the bodyas a way ofconcentrating my discussion of the issues involved when photography attempts to process or project experiences of breast cancer, or shape publicperceptions ofthe disease.
