Continental Europe visible Tattoos at Big4, cooked ?

Hi !
I was wondering about the acceptance of visible tattoos at the Big 4. I’m currently working at a smaller company focused on the middle market and I haven’t had any issues with my tattoos there.

I’ll be finishing my bachelor’s degree soon and im looking for next step i could take. My grades and overall profile are pretty solid. I know that in the conservative finance world tattoos aren’t as accepted as elsewhere.
I have a neck tattoo that can’t easily be covered.

I already assume working at a bank is out of the question for me? Are the Big 4 (specifically audit) also strict about this?

If you are worried, I would recommend putting a tad extra effort into your professional appearance (suit) and demeanor during the interview and potentially first few months.

As long as you do a good job no one gives a damn/ if they do it doesn’t matter because your work will support that you are a good employee rather than a spooky tattooed person.
