About body piercings and tattoos, would this be a problem when looking for employment in the Philippines?

Question

i just answered a question about tattoos and now i'm curious if having body piercings and tattoos make it harder to find employment.

Answer 1

it is actually not a problem..i have officemates here beside me that has piercing and i saw someone from other team that has a tattoo...so i think it's not a problem...

Answer 2

These are common nowadays but I am sure, tattoos will have a problem when it comes to blood donation.  You cannot help anyone if you have tattoos.

Answer 3

if you're in the arts or advertising there's no problem. if you're applying at a bank it's another matter.

it all depends on whether the boss is conservative or not. in general bosses don't mind tattoos as long as they're not too conspicious

Answer 4

Actually it shouldn't.

But because certain industries & job positions generally require a more traditional/non-offensive "look" then having piercings & tats would definitely work against having a chance to be even considered for them.

Usually these are in the hospitality & service industries & positions that requirement direct contact with clients/customers/people.

The Medical & the Food Industry would also be included in this short list. As well as running for public office & owing/running/representing your own business.
