I\u2019d had the job for about half an hour.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I was so horrified I posted it on Facebook and then it just blew up and the story went everywhere.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article23477506.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/0_Claire-Shepherd.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>&quot;After a couple of days they offered me the job back, but I didn\u2019t take it.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>In her Facebook post about the incident, she wrote: &quot;In my opinion, tattoos do not affect your performance or ability to do a job and do not pose a health and safety risk or cause any harm. It is literally just some colour or a picture on your skin.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I was previously an assistant manager and it never posed an issue. As long as the person is capable of doing their job then I do not see how it is justifiable.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article23477509.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/0_Claire-Shepherd.jpg\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<figure data-mod=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article23428759.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615\/0_Female-tattooist-applying-tattoo-to-male-customer.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p>Nine things tattoo artists hate clients doing when they get inked<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Claire says that companies that have &quot;no tattoos&quot;
