i have tattoos all up the back of my left arm and tunnels in my ears. Im a social work student and i work with young people and fair in the sphere of mental health. I dont care what others think but direct line management in the organisation that i work for see it as a positive rather than a negative.

Spose it depends on your industry as to whether ur a suitable job candidate.
Iggy, if it were happening everywhere u went its one thing, but does it happen a lot? My biggest gripe with piercings tats and even hair cuts is that they all have a time and place and a lot of people try to mix them. At least piercings and stupid hair cuts are fixable though |

Always think of the consequences with facial piercings. I dont have tatts on my arms because they can be known as CLM's - Career Limiting Moves. Working in the corporate world (even with long sleeve shirts) its not worth the gamble. Maybe when im 40+ and loaded and dont care.
My piercings are clean, simple, my haircut and facial hair are always neat. I miss the being able to have long hair/fringe one day, having a mowhawk a few weeks later, then short/spiky/whatever, to something a bit tamer with the '5 day growth' look but you do what you gotta do to succeed. you could argue its not being true to yourself, find somewhere that lets you do that.. but im not 18 anymore (cause 23 is heaps old) gotta draw the line somewhere.

Had my labret for 10 years now.
I just don't, and haven't ever, worn them to work. Outside of work is my time. Also, I wouldn't get tattoo's below the elbow. Just do what you want, people will generally find a way to discriminate against you if they want, tattoos and piercings or not.

My Nan has been the only one to really give a damn, but when I was living with her it was the whole hog, twin eyebrow, nose, septum, labret, tongue, industrial, conch, tragus.. lobes.
After I moved out, and when I got my first pro job, I rocked up on lunch one time, cuz I was doing some product testing in her area, and dropped in to say hi. The first thing she noted was my lack thereof of piercings, which I take out for work, especially when dealing with big customers like Holden or Ford. Mind you I now only have one eyebrow and my nose, both of which i refuse to take out due to sentimental reasons. Still got my ears riddled with metal though Nan's attitude stems from piercings and tattoos attracting the wrong crowd (so if she saw my back, bless her, she'd have a heartattack). I also tend not to get ****, because I dress down a lot, and Melbourne seems to be pretty accepting. Mind you, if I did the whole chains and goth look, I'd probably get into some kind of altercation at the moment....

Blah blah blah I just wish I had enough hair for some of this stuff hell I recon I would do it in my snr managment role if I had enough hair but your right about the CLM's I dont have tatt's there just not my thing, I dont know if any of my staff have them, they keep them well hidden if they do, my previous PA used to have a few one on her rist, a pretty heavy back job and one on each of her ankels, and the usual catalogue no 1837 000 145 lower back tatt it didnt help her get the job and it didnt help her loose it (she did that all by her self) but I will say one thing they were pretty low rent in their quality

i had the top of my left ear pierced for quite a while.. grew out of it though.
got my left nipple pierced about 6 months back. my god, thats a procedure i shouldnt want to do again, but strangely think about it a bit. It had just about healed and i was out on a bender and woke up with the barbell lying next to me. couldnt get it back in easily and i was feeling a bit too tender to ram it through (didnt wanna cause injury). My gf shook her head and said 'why'. couple guys at work (tradies) thought it meant i was gay and proceeded to tell me on most days. And my mates were about 50/50. In the end, i didnt do it for anyone else but my own pleasure/curiosity. Next in line is to tattoo the top half of my back (another thing my missus doesnt want me to do, but its not her decision).

Body piercing is nothing more than a gross visual reminder about the fracturing values of a society that has been bullied into accepting, or remaining silent about, any deviancy.

I'm nearly 40 and love all my tats. Don't regret any and I still want more. If you get one half hearted or to be "cool" then you will regret it. Plus it's the only thing in life you pay for that you can be assured you'll be buried with.

I got complimented by my 60 year old aunt today on my piercings so things can't be too bad! I guess I just have to live my life and not worry what other people think. So long as i'm happy, that's all that matters.

As a socially responsible mid 20's adult, with plenty of piercing and tattoo experience, I find, besides what I've previously mentioned, that the only people that ask me about my piercings are other Girl Guide Leaders on trainings, asking how the girls/parents deal with it. Bottom point, they don't care. The parents know I'm a respectable, responsible adult, and that my piercings merely reflect one minor aspect of my personality, which is my fascination with body modification. It has been happening for thousands of years, and in tribal communities is far more rife than in western civilisation. And yet, for some reason, these tribes, though not sticking to our morals and ethics about responsibility within society, adhere to there own beliefs and standards, better than we do our own, and yet we are willing to point the finger and stereotype. Going by your attitude, you'd box me in as a social deviant, and yet I'm an engineering student, about to graduate, have responsibilities in Girl Guides beyond that of a standard Unit Leader, and I hold down two jobs, and respect the laws and ethics we have as a society.

Just like any other human being, I can be judgemental. I did not however, throw any stones at your character, just the practise of body piercing which I think is gross, unnecessary, not culturally linked to western values and one small reminder of why I despise postmodernist ideology.

No but your post read as though you implied that ANY body piercing is deviancy, which it is not.

Mate, let it go, If it what you want...you have to live with it, not them.
It is no difference to racisim....They don't even know you. Mate, I am 40. I have both my nipples pierced. not that anyone sees them, but occasionaly at work the Tatt/Piercing conversation comes up at work... People are usually shocked when I tell them...Once comment I got was " Its always the quiet ones" LOL

I'm just sick of the stigma that comes with bodypiercings.
And yeah, it is always the quiet ones, I had a mate I would have thought was a complete blank canvas, found out he had one of the best backpieces I've ever seen. Quote:

i'll just give my thoughts on the matter mate . i think its the perceived image of a loser , especially by older people . the 1st image that pops into an older persons mind is , imagine this dude at a job interview ? ( no chance) , and the 2nd image or perception is , the dude doesnt really care and doesnt want a job anyway , and thats why he chooses to look like that , he may be cool now , but surfing or manufacturing drugs is not the kind of person i want my kids ahnging around or being like. Harsh i know , and you cant judge a book by it's cover , but unfortunately society does . on the other hand , i know this young dude who has peircings all over the place , and truly does not give a rats , and has no job ,or desire to get one , the amount of young attractive women this dude can shag at call , puts most men to shame . just telling it like it is . |
