Cmv: i think disallowing visible tattoos and piercings at a workplace only prolongs the prejudice that tattoos and piercings are for delinquents.:
At every job I have worked at, part time to full time, one is not allowed to have any piercings (this includes clear studs) or visible tattoos. Ear piercings are allowed, however, any other piercing is to be taken out which I also believe to be rubbish and prolonging the negative judgment behind piercings that are not on the ears. I understand if the context on either the tattoo or the jewelry have an offensive image on them, but if there is not then there should be no problem to show them at the work place. I believe the rejection of showing them only prolongs the idea that tattoos and piercings are for immature, wrongly rebellious and unprofessional citizens.
