Tattoos, Piercings, and the Workplace (and/or School).

You guessed it. I'm gonna talk about why tattoos and piercings shouldn't be discriminated against in the workplace. And I'm not biased because I have both.

At my job (Jimmy John's delivery) I can't have a tattoo showing. Now, out of all jobs, you wouldn't think Jimmy John's would be that way. I don't understand what the big deal is. It's the 21st century!!! Tattoos are even allowed in schools now! C'mon! School - 1, Work - 0.

I can understand how piercings can be distracting, but why would it be pegged as "unsanitary"? Do they think that we touch them and we take them out or spit them into the food, and then we put it back in? Do they think that somehow an eyebrow ring will fall out, or somebody sneezes a nosering into the food (why in the world are you sneezing within that much distance of the food..)? I think that wearing a small stud should be just fine in a workplace because it wouldn't be so big and distracting. That applies for schools, too (we shouldn't get in trouble for wearing a clear, plastic retainer that you can only see when the light hits it a certain way.)

Some people are so ridiculous.
