So here’s a weird one that I haven’t been able to find the answer to.
My role is in digital marketing, and I would like to get an MBA so that I can make a transition from small-time local agencies and clients, into more of a management consulting or global ad agency role that focuses on digital / marketing (think Deloitte Digital, Saatchi & Saatchi etc.).
Along side my career, I am also a licensed tattoo artist and I have built a pretty decent following/ portfolio. I receive around 5 to 6 inquires per week to commission an art piece or schedule a tattoo appointment at my home tattoo studio.
My question is, how taboo is this to mention? Does it help or would it hurt? In my mind it shows business savvy, but because it’s related to tattoos, I wonder if it would be frowned upon - especially since my goal is to get into a larger consulting firm where beards, tattoos, and other non-traditional lifestyle choices are not appreciated.
Follow up question: If this is advantageous to put on an MBA application, are there particular schools that would generally appreciate it more than others?
Thanks!

I didn't think for a second that being a tattoo artist could be a taboo (I have a tattoo and am proud to have it
).Well, well, well! so the headline of your post was a little misleading. If being a tattoo artist is what you did for a living, then I would have had to think hard on why you need an MBA - unless you have a few successful studios and were trying to expand to a national/ global level.
I think you have pretty clear career goals and you have work experience to back them up, so I don't see being a tattoo artist as a problem for an MBA admission (I will not comment on your own tattoos (which I am almost sure you'd have), at any of thee organizations). So long as you show career growth, ambition, and sounds career goals, you should be ok.
being a tattoo artist is an unusual interest and it could make you stand out in the MBA application process.

Hey Jeffarah,
I'd say that's a pretty cool thing to have in your profile, and really makes sense with your story - digital marketing and advertising certainly requires an artist's touch to be able to design and place ads into small parts of a screen or page and make them appealing to the viewer. So being a successful tattoo artist only adds to your credibility. Plus, you want to work somewhere that appreciates your individuality, so if a Company is requiring you to shave/cover up/etc., then maybe have a conversation with yourself to see if those are things you are willing to do to advance your career.
Not sure if any particular school will "appreciate" it more, but feel free to include it and weave it into your overall application wherever you apply.
Regards,
Scott
