So as a former body piercing professional at a tattoo shop i had naturally made some modifications to my body, no visible tattoos just piercings my ears are "gauged" which means basically i have a 1/2 inch diameter hole in my earlobes. I have decided to change professions, nothing specific in mind until I complete college. It seems that even though I remove all of my piercings before submitting an application or going to an interview the holes in my ears are still very noticeable. I could take them but even then it would take a long time for the holes to close and personally i don't feel my lifestyle should have to be changed since I feel taking out the piercings for work is enough. Any ways it seems potential employers are JNTIM, I think it is a shame because if someone were in a car accident and ended up with a permanent 1/2 inch hole in their earlobe it wouldn't be discriminated against but hey if you try to be different in this world i can say as far as an employer is concerned TJNTIY
