Luckily, i want to go for the Graphic Design/photographer Career, So i have a little bit of leeway here blaugh
But i think that people won't hire you based on your tattoos or piercings is just ridiculous, not to mention discriminatory.
i could go on and on and on with this subject for HOURS.
Hahah lucky you
wink It's very silly. I think it's slowly changing though. 30 years ago it wasn't so. My mother is 56 now, when she was younger and in to her 20s and 30s, the only people back then who had tattoos were sailors, military men (both quite rowdy types of men) and bikers. So she has kind of negative connotations to them. Same with many others of the "baby boomer" generation. They just weren't big.
Now they're so common. Practically half the population above 15 has tattoos. I see girls that are like 13 and 14 running around with tattoos. It's crazy. In some ways good because they're becoming so mainstream.
When I went to the doctor over the summer there was a receptionist who couldn't have been older than maybe late 20s and she had a rather large tattoo on her lower arm, from wrist to elbow. Didn't have to wear long sleeve shirt and was working in a very classy doctor's office. I was very happily surprised.
