PETALING JAYA: Those with tattoos seeking employment may have to be careful as getting inked could harm their chances of getting hired, a survey found.

The latest study by YouGov Omnibus revealed that although 7% of Malaysians do have a tattoo, three in five (58%) said they would be less likely to hire someone with a tattoo, even if they were qualified for the position.
