    Peircings

    okay, so this probably isn't the BEST place to ask for advice (no, I am not getting my tongue pierced because I like to SD..), but what do you all think about piercings? Right now I just have my ears pierced, but I want to get either my cartilage ear, nose, or tongue pierced. What is your limit on who you would hire? Would you hire someone with their tongue/nose pierced?

    I am 20 and a chemical engineer, if that makes any difference.

    If you have a nice rack, then I think a couple of more piercings would be OK.

    that's a shame...

    certain nose piercings are somewhat more accepted

    the tongue, well it depends on how noticeable it is and how much it affects your sleep

    easiest one to get away with, is the ear cartilage

    Re: Peircings

    If I interviewed two candidates, both equal in education and experience, and one had piercings and the other did not, I would hire the non-pierced one. Attitudes may be slowly changing about piercings, but right now the people most likely to be involved in hiring decisions do not "get" piercings. In my opinion.

    Semi-related note: I saw this guy last week who had what they (I think) call gauged ears, so his his ear holes were about two inches in diameter. Only he had taken the jewelry out, so his lobes looked like meat tendons, just a flappin' and a wigglin' around all over the place. I seriously almost barfed it was so gross. Why? Why? WHY DO YOU DO THIS?

    Yeah. I'm just not impressed by people who do weird stuff just so they can impress other people who do the same weird stuff. Maybe they should all hire each other.

    If you have to ask, don't do it.

    Also, if you are a dude, don't do it.

    Only facial piercings? Damn.
    at this point in the process, I can only assume it was a typo and they meant to say "cram"...

    Re: Peircings

    I don't get the piercings or multiple tattoos. I think it means I'm getting old. And, although I might hire someone with multiple piercings, I'd lean towards hiring someone without them, someone a little more socially "neutral".

    That's a safe piercing. I don't think it looks bad, although I don't think cartilage does either.

    My vote still goes for the twins.

    If it doesn't move and you can see it, it's civil.

    If it moves and you can see it, it's mechanical,

    If it moves and you can't see it, it's electrical.

    If it stinks, it's chemical.

    Just understand, that some companies have rules regarding piercings (and tattoo's)

    Also, HSE can have rules regarding piercings that the feel may interfere with the use of PPE and other safety equipment

    BUT that little nose stud isn't so bad; even "tasteful" one might say.
    I have to say that because my daughter and 2 of her soccer teammates got their noses pierced like that when the team went to Copenhagen last summer. I think they were afraid I'd kill them or blow a fuse or something, but it was such a totally fabulous day in a beautiful city (despite the socialists ) -- and I'd had a few large Carlsbergs -- that I just had to laugh. I did say I was VERY glad they didn't get tattoos though. I might have blown up if they did that.
