I know a lot of professional people that have tat's and piercings also...soldiers included. A lot of places have dress codes that will not allow those type of things. I can't speak for San Francisco or wherever but I can tell you being in the military and travelling a lot I don't see that many people with body modifications in professional jobs. I am not saying that they don't exist but it's NOT the norm. Yes there are grandmothers with tatoo's and ect...yadda yadda yadda...but it's NOT the norm. |
