I work at a hotel w/ tons of corporate guests, I have stretched ears, the only exposed tattoo is the one in my ear, and I've gotten nothing but great responses from them. It's not the body modifications you should be worried about it's the person, just like with anything else. I can tell alot about someone just from their tattoos and piercings and the quality of them, alot (not all) of them are some of the coolest, most intelligent, and open minded people. Most people can't look past them being highly modified so they never get a chance to see that side of them. |
First of all...it's NOT the norm. I know I don't get out much but I've yet to see a broker, insurance agent, doctor, police officer or any OTHER professional with metal shoved in their face or huge holes in their ears. Outside of working at Hot Topic, a hotel, Applebees or Walmart I'm not sure there are too many professional places that would hire someone with tat's on their neck/face/forehead or whatever. Lets take our local community for example...I haven't seen any professionals with a lot of piercings or visible tatoo's (maybe that's why they are professionals?!) I'm not against tatoo's so don't get me wrong. I would go to a Doctor or buy a house from a real estate agent with a big loop hanging out of their nose or a tatoo running up the side of their neck. It's not predjudice but it's my dollar and I can choose where to spend it.
