Tattoos and Piercings in the Workplace

Write14u · 07-26-2010, 10:50 PM

I have three tattoos, none of which are visible unless I want them to be. I tend to lean toward that air of professionalism. When I'm out and about, I don't mind wearing a muscle shirt and showing off the tat on my bicep, but I don't feel as comfortable with it in the workplace.
That said, I don't have a problem with seeing tats on people in any environment. I'm pretty cool with piercings too, but in the professional areas I run around in, I don't see too many piercings.

Side note: The advertising side at my office is not allowed to wear flip flops. The editorial side is. Pretty freaking stupid. So, of course, I like to go down and see my graphic artist friend while wearing my flip flops! *grin*
