Help me, Obi Wan Kenobi; you're my only hope.

Behind the cut is part of a project for school, and I would really appreciate everyone's help.

Here from your post over on journalfen. =)

On question #11 I wasn't sure if I was answering from my point of view (I, personally, judge people based on tattoos/piercings) or the point of view of society as a whole. I answered based on the latter, though I don't know that's so much a belief as something observed. People do judge and have rules about tattoos and piercings looking unprofessional. It may not be everyone, but it does happen.

For question #16 it's a bit of an odd one for my situation, because I work in the corporate office of a company that has employees in a lot of locations in the US and at a lot of various levels of employment. So for my job personally (which is how I answered) there are no such rules, but for my company's employees who have to meet with customers and/or wear uniforms there are.

Regarding 11, your personal opinion is the one we want.

So in your company, different jobs have separate dress codes? That is interesting. Again yes, answer how it applies to you personally.

I get that, I'm working on starting a career in graphic arts and I know artistic fields tend to be more lenient on this issue.

It's just one of those things you read about when doing the research and then hearing about from other people. I know I've been luck in that in every job that I've had that didn't have a uniform policy the dress code was 'look neat and processional'. Then again, I'm also the kind of person who tries no to rock the boat, except I'm thinking about getting a tattoo on the back of my neck and I keep my hair really short.

Hi, here! Here via journalfen. I'd just like to elaborate a little, if that is okay

I don't know how to answer question 22 because I don't care and there's no option for that. :(

So, yes, you would shop where an employee has visible tattoos; or no, you would not shop where an employee has visible tattoos?

Other reasons for boycotting a store will be in another poll. ;-)

Re: the age thing, I got my piercings when I was six. There was no 'under sixteen' option.

Tru fax. My group and I can barely remember a time before legal adulthood.

Sorry about that.

Age 2 for me. I don't even remember not having pierced ears. Got my ear cartilage done when I was 25 though.

For 13, I went with "yes", but it's really "in some cases". That is, I think it's fair to take appearance into account when hiring for a position in which the person will see clients, and tattoos and piercings are a part of that.
