Probably for the best.  I'm sure they would feel the same way about someone with your mentality as well.

Re: Multiple Piercings and Tattoos

I have several tatts and never once regretted getting them nearly 40 years ago.  Most of the people I know have at least one and none regret it.  I would think that those who have regrets are those who followed the crowd and didn't have self confidence to be themselves for fear they wouldn't be liked!

Re: Multiple Piercings and Tattoos

I'm 51 and I don't regret any of my tattoos, the oldest of which I've had for 30 years. All of mine express me or mark something important to me.

It limits job options, this much I know for a fact.

Not always, especially if they can be covered by clothing.

 

I think more and more employers are accepting of tattoos, especially when they have tatts themselves.

 

One guy at my local DMV, is heavily tatted, and yet, there he is, working at the DMV.

 

Obviously his boss didn't mind all of his tatts.

I'm seeing more people with tats and piercings that can not be covered.  Some companies will not hire let alone consider these potential candidates.

True, there are SOME companies that won't hire if they see a single tatt, but, more and more companies ARE hiring people who have tattoos.
