Yes employers should have the ability to hire you or not based on your body art most of the time it is an indicator to something in your life that could be unappreciable to the company. If I’m an employer I would be more likely to hire the non tattooed candidate rather than the one with multiple body art images. It is similar to discrimination in you are preventing someone from doing something based on who they are. Unlike other forms of discrimination it is a professional decision whether or not you get the job and truth is tattoos look unprofessional. Also businesses have the right to hire whoever they want you can’t not get hired and then sue them because you didn’t get the job because your tattoo was the reason you didn’t get it, getting the tattoo was a choice you got that because you wanted, and if your employers don’t they had the right to like what they do and not like what they don’t. People aren’t hired all the time you can’t sue for a tattoo when someone else had a perfect résumé. If I owned the business I would be less likely to hire the candidate with the tattoo it looks unprofessional and the people I see with tattoos are usually the unruly people who drink and smoke.

Yes 15 years ago tattoos were a obscenity and you would probably not make it through a whole interview.

Employers have the control, cover tattoos if you can.

Discrimination occurs in eleven different ways according to the U.S. government. There is age not letting someone interact in a group because they are too young or old, there is disability not allowing someone interaction because of a mental or physical disability, there is equal pay/compensation giving a certain gender more or less pay, there is genetic information which is leaving someone out due to a genetic disease or disorder, there is also origin where you come from, pregnancy not allowing interaction because they are pregnant, there is race not allowing someone association because of skin color. Religion is another big one not allowing people equal interaction because they practice a certain religion. Retaliation is a form of discrimination carried out by employers by retaliating to people by not hiring, firing, demoting and refusal to promote because of discrimination. Another reason for discrimination is gender not allowing a person a job because of their gender. Sexual harassment is another issue which is harassing someone by making sexual advances or jokes.    http://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/index.cfm

Since recovery he has started skateboarding again and has multiple well off sponsors he also owns a company making skate-wheels.

Skateboarding in Brazil is popular as a pastime and a ticket out of the country to the U.S. wanting to go out and get famous.

Companies need to be able to distribute a popular product in that country so they can make more money in profit due to the high demand.

Ueda’s first sponsor was Guarulhos surfing and skateboarding shop this company helped with money and the ability to practice at their facility would have been a good deal so he could practice and become better at the sport.

Ueda made money on the sport he loved I think this is a good deal
