Along with a tatoo on my neck i would like to know if having a DUI and a so-so family history (father) would hurt my chances of becoming a fire fighter.

The Tattoo won't hurt your chances but the DUI might. Call and ask your local fire department or city hall and ask to talk to the fire chief. Ask him/her your questions.
Or if you are talking about for wild fire fighting services you'll need to talk to the company supervisor or outfit that would be teaching you those skills, and asking them.

Having a tattoo on your neck is not going to improve your chances for getting hired. They want someone who will convey a professional appearance. Many departments will make you cover your tattoos that are visible outside your uniform while on duty. And if the tattoo is offensive then your chances will be greatly diminished. I won't say they wouldn't hire you, but it might be enough for them to look at someone else for the position. As far as the DUI, that may be an automatic disqualification for the position because you are a liability for their insurance. You can never get your paramedic with a DUI and many departments want that within a certain time frame. Most departments have a Human Resources department that will be able to help you in getting any information that you need. And the family history shouldn't be a problem unless there are felonies or assault charges.

I doubt that the thing with your family ,or the tattoo matters. The DUI however may have some influence, depending on how many you had, and how long ago it happened.

Its exceptionally pointless asking others if it harm them, because of the fact all people has a different soreness tollerence and might locate all of it different quantities of soreness. i might say tattoos on the bone harm alot greater, yet as i say, the soreness is defferent for all and sundry. if your the style of person who can grin and bare soreness, then youll be that person while getting a tattoo. if your the style of person who moans n winges approximately soreness, then youll be that person while getting a tattoo. each tattoo, no rely the place what while who or something, it is going to harm. You wont comprehend how lots, untill your interior the chair, with the needle on your pores and skin. To many people concentration on the soreness nevertheless, dont problem approximately it, only concentration on the top effect and being extremely joyful with it. desire ive helped.

Having a tattoo on one's neck is generally a pretty good indicator of idiocy. It certainly won't help you. I'm not sure what you mean by a "so-so family history".

I think the DUI would most likely be the dealbreaker.

Apply to be a firefighter and see what happens. They may think you are a good candidate as a fire-fighter.
