An electronics company in Dongguan, Guangdong, found that the employees to be hired had tattoos on their bodies and refused to hire. On May 5, the boss responded that tattooed people may affect the atmosphere of the entire factory, and they are still welcome to join after washing their tattoos.
China's Employment Promotion Law clearly stipulates that workers enjoy equal employment and the right to choose their own employment. If an enterprise compels workers to remove tattoos, it will also be suspected of infringing on the workers' physical rights.
