Why does it have to mention the entertainment industry first? Because following a survey of Monty, forty per cent of those people surveyed said that they were removing their tattoos for employment reasons. The competitive job market and limited job opportunities have led people to remove their tattoos to make themselves more "employable”. It means that nowadays a lot of jobs related to communication, education and business issue are very strict about tattoo image. Some of employees have to cover or hide their tattoos. However, this does not mean there are no tattoo people who are successfully working on these kinds of industries. For example: Mrs Kimmy Nguyen, she is working as a marketing executive in AO show, an ‘Entertainment’s shows now perform at the iconic Saigon Opera House’, or Mrs Mai Hoang, young and talented manager of OPD (a setting up program department) in AO. They are all capable and active employees.
