Body Piercings and Tattoos

Superiors judge their staff by their outer appearances, specifically tattoos and body piercings, because people devalue their skill sets, assuming they are unapproachable, and critic the atmosphere based solely on what is on the outside without actually knowing anything about the person. My question is why are employers offended of other employees vitiable tattoos and body piercings?Im interested in this topic because I myself have a nose piercings and 9 earrings and am always asked to take the following out at work because it is "Unprofessional". When talked to another employer at Lanier Islands what she thinks about having to cover up her semicolon on her wrist at work how she feels about it she says,"I feel like when I go to a work area and I see employees with tattoos and body piercings I dont feel like an outcast.You having a nose pierced doesn't define our company as trashy its not like you have a face-full of piercings on every inch of your face."

This image really opens eyes for the type of people who judge others off of appearance. You would never believe this person could be a very successful doctor but you automatically assume this person is a low life and not successful. The young generations see tattoos and body piercings as a style rather than the older generations see them as tacky and unclassy.
