Is an Existing Tattoo Proving to be a Problem? Written By: Adrenaline Tattoo Tattoos, not attitudes. More By This Author. Yes, actors can have tattoos, but having tattoos can make them more suitable for some roles than for others. Some roles might ask for no visible tattoos, while others might actually ask for visible tattoos! To find out what the role requires, look at the casting breakdown brief role description.
Typically they post these breakdowns through a breakdown service like Actors Access. Agents will usually spend a large chunk of their day looking through postings, reading the breakdowns, and submitting actors on their roster for the roles they are well suited for. No visible tattoos means that as long as your tattoos can be covered up with clothing, then no one really cares. So, what happens if you actually have a visible tattoo?
What happens if you have tattoos on your hands or neck? Maybe you have a lot of tattoos and are curious as to whether this will leverage or hurt your career. Once again we would refer back to the breakdown. Having tattoos in these situations becomes one characteristic that you can choose to highlight.
I was in a role where I had to play a Latino gangbanger. The stereotype of an East LA Chicano. As I mentioned I have one tattoo on my back, but they were looking for that covered in tattoos look, so when I booked the part I essentially sat down in a chair for 2 hours every day while they put tattoos all over my upper body and face. It was more important that I could do the part, not whether or not I looked the part. Within reason of course. A lot of times very unique individuals covered in tattoos will, for example, find opportunities in commercials or as background actors.
Typically for those roles, they only really care about one thing, how you look. Choosing between your career and your way of life is a tough decision. You are probably going to choose your way of life, which comes with several repercussions. An excellent hack would be getting tattoos once you have built a brand and pretty confident that brands would sacrifice everything to have you on their casts.
You can also get tattoos in less conspicuous places that can be easily covered and hidden from the cameras. Getting a tattoo is a personal decision that has its benefits and disadvantages. For an actor, there are a lot of things that you must consider before getting one. You are probably going to forego several chances.
However, if you can live with that, then go ahead. On the bright side, you will be perfect for specific roles. Becoming a successful actor is a challenge I just had to take on.
I started to act at 41 years old. My goal is to prove that anyone can become an actor at any age and make it. I will be documenting my progress here and showing others that have way more talent that me that they can make it too. If I can help just one person achieve there dreams, it will be worth it..!
