Corporate America may not be ready to embrace tattoos in the office just yet, but a good deal of millenials are getting them anyway.

According to the National Institute of Health, 73 percent of people with tattoos get their first between the ages of 18 and 22. A recent report from the Pew Research Center also showed that 40 percent of this current generation of young people, also called millenials, have at least one tattoo.

Tattoos do not seem to be a hindrance to getting hired, as long as they are covered. Career Builder found in a 2011 survey that 31 percent of the human resources mangers who responded said a visible tattoo is a deal breaker with a prospective worker. Only bad breath and piercings were bigger red flags.

Jodi Silvio, a 23-year-old graduate from Arizona State University, told USA Today she covers her five tattoos when she goes to a professional interview. From her perspective, however, she does not think many millenials fear having a hard time finding a job with visible tattoos.

"The trend I've been seeing leads me to believe that young people are not overly concerned with the possibility that having visible tattoos may effect their ability to get a job," she said. "I choose to cover my tattoos during the interview process and during the first few days of a new job so that I won't be judged right off the bat simply because of the ink in my skin."

Of course, one of the biggest reasons why millenials are getting tattoos more confidently is because there are employers in certain career fields that do not mind. Professions in art, for example, are more likely to be accepting of tattoos because people in the field see it is an art form.

Still, in the corporate setting, it may be wise just to cover up the body art.

"When it comes to career advancement, you want to stack the deck in your favor," said Rosemary Haefner, Career Builder's vice president of human resources said in the release. "While strong job performance and leadership skills will weigh heavily on prospects for upward mobility, employers will also look at whether the employee conveys an overall professional image both internally and externally."
