    Default Discriminated against for visible tattoos?

    Hello

    I went to c new nightclub last nite and was turned away because the clubs policy is...and i quote 'to not allow people in with visible tattoos'.

    Surely this is discrimination?

    My tattoos are on my lower arms and are not offensive to anyone in any way.

    I have never been turned away from any club or pub before

    Have i got grounds for complaint?

    Yes because they are discriminating you from going in because you have tattoos. Discrimination means: To treat one particular group of people less favourably than others, but it is Indirect discrimination occurs when there are rules, regulations or procedures operating, which have the effect of discriminating against certain groups of people.

    Its like saying you can't come in if your hair is blonde etc.

    You should complain to the management and include in the letter photo's of your tattoo's to show that they are not offensive.

    hope this helps

    No laws have been broken, in actual fact. Although morally it is wrong, any public house or club reserves the right to refuse entry on any grounds and do not have to give a reason. It would be completely different if you applied for a job and was turned down on the basis of your tatoos.

    There is a similar thread here about discrimination, although this is based on age discrimination: http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...on-doctor.html

    There is no harm though in writing to management about this and seeing what response you get, although you cannot use the law as an aid as there is no law in this case. I found this article on another club which has a policy against tattoos: http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wa...1466-21463975/

    Precisely. It's like having a dress code. In Croydon, my daughter reliably informs me that the trainers I use to go to the gym (Nike Air) would get me refused entry in some of the pubs and clubs after a certain time, as (apparently) they are part of the troublemakers' uniform so cherished around these parts. :-|

    As far as the law is concerned, as Erika says, there are strict parameters within which you can claim discrimination, and this isn't one.
