has a tattoo or piercing ever worked against you?

^Dreadlocks are associated with stoner culture, which generally makes an unprofessional impression.
My cousins are in the Air Force and they both have pierced noses. They wear flesh colored studs when they’re on duty, and whatever they want off.
I think as long as the tattoo is either tasteful/meaningful or can’t be seen when in professional dress, then it should be fine with most employers.
I personally would never get one as they’re just not something I believe in. However, several of my friends and acquaintances have them and so far they’ve all been pretty successful at the things they’ve attempted.
