Do you have a tattoo/piercing?:
Yes. Nine tattoos and four peircings (two in each ear)
If not, Are you against them in any way?
I have them and nope, not against it.
Do you think that people who have them should immediately be looked down upon because of it?
Not at all. I have been raised to always be open and accepting of people and their lifestyle choices. That being said, body modifcations are becoming an increasingly normal occurrance. Short of extreme modifications such as very visual facial and neck tattoos, over abundance of peircings or dermal implants - most people won't even give you a second look now adays.
Why do you think people should/should not have them?
I don't think people should or should not have them. Modifying your body is a personal choice and should be well thought out before doing so. I have always heard the argument in my youth that "Your body is a temple, do not alter it" however, all temples are decorated with paintings and tapestries, artwork and stainglass windows. Why not decorate your temple? Nothing wrong with any if it in my opinion. As long as you are not harming yourself in the process, I see no problem with it.
In the work force, should a tattoo or a piercing be the deciding factor in whether or not they get a job?
Not in the slightest. I've never been turned down for a job for any of my tattoos or peircings. Unfortunately it does happen still but it really should not matter. Unless you are working with like magnetic MRI machines daily and the metal of your peircings causes a physical risk to your personal health, hwy would it matter?
