however, more and more the corprate world is acknowledging a change in culture, when I got my job (which I have had for 4 years now) I went into my interview with all my earings (5 left, 3 right - most midly streched) and my eyebrow ring in.  I also told them about my tatoos as well and I still got the job.  Granted, people will always have pre-concieved notions about things like tatoos and peircings, but since they are becoming more and more mainstream, the public opinions are changing (and its about time).
Personally, I wouldn't want to work for someone that judged me based on peircings and tatoos, I'm all set working in such a closed minded environment, there is always another job available, you just have to find it.
life is too short to have any regrets
