Abstract

Tattoos, pervasive across human history, serve as expressions of identity, beliefs, and experiences. Recent trends highlight a global surge in tattoo prevalence, yet societal acceptance varies widely. This study explores the impact of tattoo discrimination on mental health, particularly within professional contexts, where biases manifest through hiring practices, and promotion decisions. Employing Becker’s Labeling Theory as a framework, the research examines how societal perceptions influence workplace dynamics and individual well-being. The study addresses a significant research gap by investigating Filipino perspectives on tattoo discrimination, contributing to global discourse on workplace inclusivity. Through thematic analysis of qualitative interviews, the study uncovers personal narratives, coping strategies, and the nuanced roles tattoos play in self-expression and resilience. Findings illuminate tattoos not only as aesthetic choices but as profound markers of personal history and empowerment, challenging stereotypes and advocating for workplace equity and mental health support.
