So since we last spoke, I went and did a little thing.

Ah, what a shame. I love that you did this spontaneous thing, and I bet it felt fun and a little rebellious. What a shame to have that feeling squashed and to feel like your self-expression is being stifled.

I think it's fine to ask questions. Why is this part of the code? Have they reviewed this decision lately? Piercings are a lot more mainstream than they were 10 years ago - is it time for a rethink?

But ultimately I wouldn't risk your job over this, unless you were feeling discontented there in other ways and have been looking for something to push you to make a change....?

I love your piercing!! (saw it on instagram) and it makes me super sad that your work is being so strict about covering it up.

I agree with Birds--it's great to ask questions and challenge the authority to find out exactly why they have this rule but it's also not worth your job/livelihood. I do think it's great you are challenging them, though and hope that you are able to find some kind of answer that will satisfy you. Good luck!!

Aww, such a same you're going through this. :( I love piercings, I think they are fun and sexy.

I'm with Birds, basically though. Asking about it, if there's a decision that can be revised, the reasons for it in the first place, etc.

PM me privately! Depending on what state you live in, you might have more rights in this situation than you know.

Good questions, and I like your attitude. All in all, I agree with what others have already said. Seek answers in the way that you can but maybe take a breather and think about it before risking your job? If you think it might come to that, depending on how far you push. Fighting for a cause is good, just decide beforehand how far you're willing to take it. Then go kick some ass. :D
