No offense intended.

I only ask this with curiosity, and not to sound offensive:  what does everyone do as far as work.  I work in a dental office at the front desk so I must be careful about what can show etc.  I was curious because some of you have visible art and piercings and wondered how that effects your job.  I would love to be more "free" about my next tattoo but of course don't feel as though I can.

I was a CNA for 7 years but went back to school in January of this year so I don't really work. I get 'odd jobs' here and there but I'm none too worried about working because I can't handle school and work plus my son's therapies and such. :)

I'm a paralegal for a collections firm. My office is extremely laxed. I often show my wrist tattoo without question and my labret piercing is always in. To keep somewhat of a manner of professionalism I do cover 95% of my tattoos and flip my septum ring up while working.

I'm a body piercer, so showing mods is not only acceptible, it's encouraged :D

I am a SAHM and I was military before that.

I work in biomedical at a VA. Most the patients have tats so it's not a big thing. I've gotten a lot of complements on my shoulder piece and even had one vet tell me I'm more of a man then him.
Before this I was a house wife and before that I was active duty army. I'm now reserves. So I have rules for what I can and can't have.

Virginia seems to be pretty open about tattoos.  When my husband and I vacationed in Virginia Beach a few years ago, we were pleasantly surprised to see so many modified people in the hospitality industry.  Maybe that's because your laws are so strict, and you don't have every jackass walking around with shitty garage tattoos LOL.  I wish our laws were that strict where I live.

LOL that's what I get for posting when I'm heavily medicated!  I still think Virginia is pretty open-minded ;)

I've worked designing children's wear several years ago and lucky had piercings you couldn't see. At my sales assistant job at old navy it's not an issue to have tattoos or piercings(facial)
