Rejected petition Equality to people with hand/face tattoo's in employment. Not rude or racist.

Iv been refused jobs or had management tell staff that they didn't know was friends of mine that I'm not the sort they hire after I got an application form and I have hand and face tattoo's. (Non rude or racist) I think its wrong where we are meant to give everyone equality but we receive none back.

More details

All I want is for people like me to get equality for a job we are applying for and not be judged for any body art we have on our hands or face. Obviously If the tattoo's in these places are rude or racist then yes we understand for us to be refused the job in certain sectors but we should get equal rights and not just looked at like scum.
