The LADbible reports how 18-year-old student Logan McNicholas was rejected for a job opportunity with a UK-based health food store.


The young man was reportedly told upon appearing for his interview that "...they wouldn't give him a job because the company had 'high standards of personal appearance' ..." which meant that all of his tattoos would have to be covered up. 


The LADbible further notes: "He was invited to an interview and trial at the city centre store, but was told afterwards that while they weren't offensive, as they could not be covered up, the company was unable to offer him the job."


Here are Logan McNicholas' tattoos:
