This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Allow tattoos, bright hair and body modifications in the workplace. Equality.
I believe that having body modifications does not affect your working at all. I think if someone can do the job we should be aloud to work there, instead of being turned away. Just because I have bright hair, tattoos and piercings does not mean I am not qualified or professional.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
There is no law prohibiting tattoos, bright hair or body modifications in the workplace. It is a matter of employer policy. If you want the Government or Parliament to prohibit workplace dress codes altogether, you could start a new petition about that. As currently drafted, it is not clear what action you want the Government or Parliament to take.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
