However, many white-collar businesses are slow at adapting to these changes, preferring their employees to continue keeping a professional, clean appearance. Nevertheless, some tattooed and pierced individuals continue to argue that these businesses are discriminating against them based on their appearance and that those businesses should accommodate their right to self-expression. Conversely, I would argue that job seekers with body art who wish to work for a company need to research or comply with company dress code policies before heading into an interview, after all, you are entering their territory, not the other way around. Therefore, as a rule of thumb, young college students that have or are considering a visible tattoo or piercing need to carefully evaluate how that body modification will affect their future career
