Hearing people say Tattoos and Piercings won't allow someone to get a job makes me sick. I've heard the stories many times and I have to say that I don't agree with it. People have been told they won't get a job for being pierced or tattooed and I find that statement not true at all. I can understand certain jobs have their "rules or ethics" but if you look closely you can realize not all jobs keep things the way they want it to appear. Not everyone understand being tattooed or pierced and having a job is possible. Someone who decide to have visible tattoos or piercings can make more money than those who dress up in a white collar "conservative" way.
Sometimes people fail to think about the future and decide to get tattooed or pierced and they regret it later in life. Is kind of the equivalent of looking at a conservative, suburb housewife with a "tramp stamp". There is nothing wrong with having tattoos and piercings, I believe one has to choose a career path that will allow you to express your personal style, sense of freedom and what you feel is appealing to your community. If you're focused on what your career path then you should know which part of the body you can get Inked or Pierced. The best way to avoid hearing crappy complaints and people telling you what to do with your body is by opening your own business, you can be the boss and no one can tell you shit, obviously the short cut to get there is by going to additional trainings and getting a higher education along with having a full knowledge of what career path will allow you to achieve your goals. There is other alternatives like laser tattoo removal (I can't stand anything that make people look like they have regrets). I've heard of jobs telling people many things that are not allowed but when you look closely you realize most things are not enforced at all. Sometimes people focus on things that have nothing to do with the ability of production of that tattooed/pierced individual, they fail to focus on that individual's potential to make things better for the business and take it to a level it has never been to before even though one has to realize people still focused on what they call aesthetic appeal or squeaky clean "image". Some places don't realize the amount of damage crated to that individual since all they care about is appearance and not the recognition that individual deserve.
No one has the right to tell you what to do or not to do with your body. You have to realize there is better career paths you can enjoy and be able to work with employers that value their employees and give them the recognition plus paycheck they deserve instead of having people who appear something they're not which are individuals who rather not to work/perform duties as they should. It is understandable image is important and that's the reason one has to be a little more careful at the time we select a piercing or a tattoo. Once a job is found all a person have to do is focus on ourselves and not on how crappy a "clean-cut looking" good for nothing co-worker does to waste company's time and money while taking advantage of what a company has to offer and use it for personal gain. However, those are things no one should be concerned about. Unfortunately society judge people on appearance and that is also something employers are concerned with and one has to be a bit realistic when it come to the job position desired. Don't focus on working as a receptionist when you could have a better paid job, and be yourself. There is plenty of jobs out there.
