I work as a reasaurant manager for a very successful restaurant chain and thankfully they are open minded and don't judge ones ability by image! I have bright red hair facial piercings in my nose, 2 I'm my lips and a few in my ears (done stretched) I have 1 big tattoo that covers my side so at the moment it's not visible but I will soon be getting a full sleeve.... The more people who put themselves out there in these kind of jobs then the quicker the publics opinion will start to change!

It's an M-Dot - the brand of Ironman triathlons. I've never had anything but positive comments on it. But of course those who don't comment may well have a negative reaction. Frankly after swimming 2.4 miles, biking 112 miles and running 26.2 miles in under 16 hours, I don't care what anyone thinks. It is my personal symbol of strength and perseverence. So I wear skirt suits to court whenever I like. I have 3, two of which are not visible and one of which is on the outside of my right ankle. It’s an M-Dot – the brand of Ironman triathlons.

None were visible, however. However, at meetings with the top-flight consulting firm that agency uses, I have seen several visibly tattooed women in partner-track positions. I don't think anyone cares anymore, as long as the art is not offensive, tasteless or excessive. If you can pull down an undergrad from an Ivy and are willing to work 80 hours a week, I think that's probably enough to get hired and promoted. But unusual piercings should be taken out for office wear or avoided. I almost never see them, aside from maybe a tiny nose stud. Also forget all the nonsense about wearing pantyhose and only low heels. In our shop, everyone is bare and 4-inch heels are common.
