In today’s workplace, tattoos represent a challenge. However, the study of tattoos in the workplace has not yet been extensively carried out. Therefore, the construction of instruments with valid and reliable inferences to measure attitudes toward tattoos in the workplace has become crucial. The purpose of this study was to develop and analyze the psychometric properties of the Discrimination towards Tattoos Scale in the Workplace Context in a sample of 310 participants residing in Puerto Rico. To achieve this goal, various analyses related to construct validity, item analysis, and discriminant validity were conducted. The results show that the final version (M4) of the Attitudes towards Tattoos Scale in the Workplace Context with seven items and three dimensions: discrimination (α = .89), contempt ( = .89) and organizational perspective (α = .80) has adequate psychometric properties to be used in organizational studies and interventions in Puerto Rico.
