Saw that you has another post on tattoos and their acceptability. Interesting because I just saw a report on a company called Zappos and their “corporate culture” is not “traditional” or “conventional” and yet the company is very successful. I am not sure I know of any companies or corporations in America that have a rule that says “Tattoos and Piercings are not considered appropriate for the workplace.” So when you say they aren’t acceptable, I don’t know which company or organization you’re referring to.

Each country has its own rules in these matters. Generally even in India if someone has tattoos or piercings they are considered things which generally people who do drugs or anti social characters would want to keep. Generally these people are also viewed with suspicion. It is something like this many of the people who use these things are bad so the odd one out is also going to be bad irrespective of what he or she may actually be that is the general human behavior all over the world.

In India many of the women have piercings on their nose and on the earlobes and during festivals many of them also wear henna or mehendi on their hands. It is good during the sravan or rainy season months for the health too. If a woman does not wear something like this or wear a tilak on the forehead then they are viewed differently.

Even in India police have warned students not to grow long hair and have tattoos as they are done by deviants and antisocial people in the society generally and they are usually rowdy characters. But these children are very good and want to use it as how you would want it to be used. But police do not want to take any chances and want are also worried for these children too. That is how societies, employers and law enforcement are in general. In India we also have dress code based on the company which one is working. Hope you found this information useful.

Here in the Philippines , companies have their own policies when it come to hiring people. Mostly are conservative, so piercings like those in the nose aren’t allowed. EVen having tatoos is not allowed.

I guess the Philippines is generally a conservative country when it comes to these things.

But in my opinion, employees should respect what the company wants because anyway it is what the owners like for their companies. If you want a nice job then just d what they require of you.

But when it comes to finding a job. Does anyone discriminate or overlook those that have piercings or tattoos? Is it normal to see someone at any type of job that can have a tattoo, piercing or even an earing?

These are the types of answers i am looking for.

Of course when we are out on the road it doesn’t make a diference. Tattoos and piercings on someone else shouldn’t even bother anyone because it isn’t even on their body.

people should be hired according to their experience but also there are many things to consider, you dont dress or act at work as if you are in party or as if you are in your home, so able to do the work is not enough to be hired, you have to dress in away that show respect and show that you are serious about what your doing, so that topic is big and i guess you can not say yes ban or dont ban. since you are doing work you need to consider the ppl you work for the clients youo are serving too. lots really consider while thinking of that topic for sure.
