Dan writes me, saying, “I’ve run into some what I feel is an unfair treatment in my work place recently,” with the following picture attached:
I couldn’t agree more, and he explains,
I work at a grocery store as a cashier and have been working there for almost two years. I was hired with my lip pierced, and up until recently has never been a problem. We recently received two new managers and a lot of things have started to change — one of these things is the enforcement of a “NO FACIAL PIERCINGS” policy. We are forced to take them out or cover them up while at work. Taking them out is not a convenient solution since I have seamless rings, and as anyone who has used them in the past, they are a bitch to remove. I am forced to cover my rings with a disgusting band-aid or medical tape. This draws even more attention to them than not covering them at all. The band aid barely even covers anything and irritates my skin terribly. I feel that they are trying to humiliate us into taking our piercings out. I talked to the union and human resources about the issue and apparently the piercing rule was in the employee handbook that we signed when we were hired, though I have yet to see one of these handbooks.
You know, outside of “right and wrong” issues, and in my view of the world, the store is very much in the wrong here, there’s a real aura of idiocy that embraces this policy. As Dan points out, a couple piercings with an obnoxious bandage placed over them is far more upsetting looking to customers (whether they like or dislike piercings) because it sends the message that there’s something wrong with the piercing. And, as he also points out, being forced to do this daily endangers his health, so it’s ridiculous, offensive, and counter-productive on every level… but, sadly, in most States, it’s a fact of life for all-too-many people.
Finally, Dan asks,
I just wanted to know if anyone else has had similar problems in the workplace with their mods, and if anyone else has any more ideas that I could try to sway their policies?

I recently quit a dirt bag company in Cleveland. Long story short, one day they decided to employ new policies regarding employees to remove all piercings on males and all but ears on females. Seeing as I already hated working there and I was in charge of ALL their IT (computer) stuff, I told them if they don’t like my gauges (00ga) then kiss my ass, I’m done.
Yeah, I totally had them whipped. I got away with way too much 🙂

I don`t have any BodyMods yet,because I only got interested in that kind of stuff recently and I can`t afford any right now, but as a possible solution, how about growing your beard a little more? It won`t cover the piercings completely, but it will at least hide them just as good as the stupid patch anyway…

a friend of mine had this problem. she would put flourescent bandaids over her nose stud every day just to make a statement.
i have been very lucky and never had a job where it wasn’t allowed. good lucky at your job!!

I work in a supermarket here where i live in England. Despite there being a policy for no piercings or tattoos to be shown, people still do, people with nose piercings get away with wearing them without any mentions. I had to take out my beloved side vertical labret and it closed over. They would’nt even let me wear a plaster over it or wear a retainer and yet people are wearing eyebrow bars and not getting much negative feedback from employers. I’d love to get more piercings but they might fire me if i do. I hate it and know how u feel. I dont even work with food, i work on a checkout, which makes even less sense. good luck, and its good u have a union u can talk to, i have to pay to get in touch with mine or be a part of it. 🙁 xx

damn thats harsh….
i work at kohls and they are really cool….i had my lip ring in for awhile and they were fine with it but when i had my cheeks pierced, i switched to a labret stud so it would be less metal…still no complaints.
they are pretty libral and i love working there. i would pick my my mods over a job any day…i don’t know if tats good or bad but i just think a place needs to take me as i am…thats why i like kohls, they accept employees for who they are…they really don’t try to change you too much as long as you are sensable to some degree about your image as well. i keep my septum in and wear a sold pulg at work…hey, they adjust for me, i adjust for them.
thats just crazy though…i wouldn’t wear a bandaid if they paid me double what i get now….NEVER. hang in there and keep fighting for your rights…thats just not cool.

I’m not sure where I stand on the hiring modded people or not issue…as someone above me has already said, some jobs want you to look a certain way, and if every employee has to follow that look, that means you too, or no job. I don’t like the narrowmindedness of it but I think I can see some fairness atleast in the application of a rule that’s there. You can choose to bend, or look on for something else.
What pisses me off is the randomness though. This guy has worked for that store for years fine already, n one manager change, and it’s suddenly a problem. That’s NOT fair. I’m not sure what else one could do…maybe find out what other same stores’ policies in the area are, so you can tell them they’re the only ones being assholes.
Then again, that may be construed as a hint you’d rather work there 🙁 Good luck with it, anyways.
As everyone seems to be dropping their work experiences, heres two from the Netherlands:
Up till a few months ago, I worked at a (branch?) second hand/antique books store. It has 20 stores throughout the country, and therefore there is a booklet with rules for it’s employees to follow. It literally says no piercings allowed. I didn’t have any when I got hired five years ago, so when I started thinking about getting wrist surface bars two years ago, I asked my direct boss about it. He nearly laughed at me for even asking, so I got those bars, and a madison as well, and displayed them openly. I worked at a counter, interacting with customers all day. In fact, I most often worked at the counter people coming in to see the antique books n maps had to report to. Now, as I said, the company policy was rather strict. I got lucky. The people at my store got lucky. But the stores in other cities…in some of them, people aren’t even allowed to wear band shirts. And what if my great boss had resigned? I never got any permission in writing. I might have been in Opening Post Guys’ shoes then. Mods or job. The job would’ve been gone then…because I’d have felt cheated.
I quit the bookstore job to have time to properly do an internship (?) assisting a teacher at a high school for 4 weeks n give a few lessons myself to see if I liked the career path. I was assigned to an upper class ish school, and bearing in mind the pretty negative reactions I’d gotten to my first tattoo at my quite similar high school, I kept my wrists n throat hidden at first. I needn’t have. For one, the teacher I was assisting dismissed my piercings as just another part of me, and the children were mostly curious – grossed out, too, but lolz, can’t have ‘m all at once 🙂 For two, they employed a woman with four cartilage piercings and a medusa in a full time teaching job as well 🙂

Seamless rings eh? Possibly a mistake worth rectifying for the future.
Have them completely (and professionally) removed and wear acrylic (near invisible) labret retainers for work.
Getting company policy changed will be very difficult unless the company can prove that by forcing you to change it risks losing financially. Sadly this will probably not be the case.
Is it a job you truly want? If so then like most people sacrifices may have to be made, otherwise quit and find somewhere more tolerant.

i work in the meat department of a grocery store. they hired me with my piercings(i have both sides of my lip done and 5/8 plugs in my ears) and they have never given me shit about it. it even states in the handbook that we are not allowed to have them. i dont know how i’ve gotten away with this for 2 years now, even though when i dyed my hair pink they had something to say about that. if my boss where to come up to me with some stupid shit like that i would fight it and probably get fired. honestly you should contact the better business bureau about this (www.bbb.org). in the mean time, get fired and collect unemployment from those fuckers.

When I worked at Toys R Us in 2006, I had my nostril pierced. They gave me the option on taking it out or covering it with a bandaid. Since the piercing had been getting irritated I didn’t want to take it out so I covered it with a tiny bandaid for a few days. It was funny listening to the kids come up with weird stories as to why I had a random bandaid across my face. Eventually I bought a clear retainer thing and kept that in my nose, which worked fine for the rest of the job.
My last job was one where my boss never saw me so she never knew what piercings I had, and at this time I had my nose, eyebrow and two tattoos. Although I didn’t like the idea of having to hide my mods, I understand that a job is a place of professionalism, and whether or not you like it, if you want the paycheck you have to answer to them. My mods mean something to me, but if it’s between them or a paycheck, I’m taking the paycheck. They don’t mean THAT much to me. You have to think realisitcally.

I always wonder, maybe if more buisnuesses (yes I cant spell) allowed thier employees to wear piercings, then maybe people would become accepting of them?
I only have a nose stud, and my part time work is fine with it. I dont really know about thier policies on other piercings though, no-one else has anything other than ears as far as I can tell (although a few have tattoos). One guy has steched ears as well, and they dont seem to mind. (I work in Homebase btw, a DIY store in the UK)

I had the same thing happen to me. I worked at a Shoprite for a few years as a cashier, and I got a labret piercing. Since I couldn’t take it for for a few weeks after the initial piercing, I had to wear a bandaid over it, which just attracted more attention. Regular customers started asking me why I always had a bandaid on.
When I started wearing a clear plug at work, I didn’t get any trouble. Towards the end of my stint, though, a manager noticed it and told me I had to take it out. I told him that if he didn’t notice it for a year and a half, then how would it bother the customers?

A job telling you to cover up tattoo’s or take out piercings is discrimination and I don’t think they can technically tell you to do so.

Ashe # 108 : Weird, I work at toys r us and they have no problems with my mods… Actually a lady complained about my lobes the other day to management and they backed me up 100% saying that my apearance did not affect my work ethic :-s

I seem to have been very lucky with the places I’ve worked at.I’ve never worked anywhere where they have asked me to take out or cover up piercings, although I used to have to for school!
I currently work in a clothes shop and have 17 visible piercings, including sternum and neck microderms(i used to have surface piercing on my collar bones but sadly they rejected), septum piercing and stretched lobes.I also have a few visible tattoos. Although my manager (and area menager) have never had a problem with it company rules do state that you can’t have more than 2 piercings in each ear, which both of them see as a very outdated rule (fortunately).

I have a similar policy at my workplace (an electronics retail chain) and one of the cashiers has been made to take out 14mm plugs from his lobes. We definitely had a lot more customers notice the gaping holes in his ears than the plugs when he wore them – seems to defeat the “purpose” of enforcing such a policy. I just have to take out my labrets and wear a septum retainer.

I’ve always thought that employers have a right to require a certain standard of dress and behavior for their employees, just as we have a right to put whatever the hell we want in or on our bodies. When you get a body mod, your understanding that that mod might affect your life in negative ways is always at least implicit. On the other hand, I also think that most employers who forbid body mods are behind the times and are missing out on some excellent employees. And, of course, any policies on mods should always, always, ALWAYS be evenly enforced across the board.
Looking back, it’s always the crappy retail/food service jobs that have given me a hard time over mods. I have 5/8″ lobes, two nostrils, and visible tattoos, and for some reason the movie theatre and jewelry kiosk screamed to high heaven, but my current supervisors have never said a word other than “Oooh, did those hurt?”
I’m a teacher. Go figure.

I’ve had that happen many times before. I had to get my labret re-pierced 3 different times because of jobs making me take them out during the day and having my lip close up by the time i leave work (i heal fast and my labret stud wouldn’t fit back in by the end of the day). I even tried using “invisible” piercing stud holders but they gave me crap about those too. And where was i working? IN A CALL CENTER! I worked with customers on the phone! They couldn’t see my face! It was ridiculous. I think the stigma against piercings/tattoos in ANY job environment is ridiculous.

I have had trouble in the past with people accepting my one and only facial piercing. I have my nostril pierced, sometimes I wear a stud, sometimes I wear a ring. I have been refused from a couple of job interviews based on my ‘unprofessional’ facial piercing. I now have a pretty good job. They knew I had my nose pierced when I started. However, when I wore a small ring I was told that I shouldn’t make my piercings “so ‘in-your-face’ while at work”…I just said I don’t complain about things other people wear that offend me, and asked if anyone had complained. Of course they hadn’t. I work in an office where we have no contact with the customers, and where the employees are very accepting. It is just the manager who is anally retentive. Anyway, I checked out all the policies and there was nothing ANYWHERE about piercings. Just that no visible tattoo are allowed…which I think is fascist to the max and soooo yesterday! People need to accept what others find beautiful. Someone may like bright pink lipstick, or drawn-on eyebrows while others may detest them…it is all personal taste. I can understand that some tattoos COULD be construed as being offensive…however they are beautiful to the person who wears them…as are all piercings. This era and our society needs to be nudged into a more accepting state of mind!

I work at a Sainsbury’s supermarket, and shortly after starting I was told I had to take my plugs out because they were ‘disgusting’, but my supervisor decided that empty flappy earlobes looked more disgusting and hasn’t mentioned it since…
Another thing I notice at my work place is that if you show up on time, are friendly and polite to the customers etc, you get a lot less hassle that the guy who’s always late and rude.

I used to be a cook when I starting piercing. They let it slide until we got a new manager. We didn’t see eye to eye on my piercings so I quit, and now I work at a tattoo studio.

I have 2 neck tattoos as well as many other piercings and at work I am forced to hide my septum ring, and on “Main Events” put a scarf around my neck. I find this really discriminating and wrong. There is nothing wrong with modifications, it is a personal choice that should be your rite. In the “public eye” it is looked apon as somthing taboo because people don’t take the time to learn about what is seemingly “odd” or “strange” to them, when infact there ancestors before them were puting holes and various adornments through there body. There should be a law passed that does not discriminate against body modification, if people would take the time to pass knowledge instead of hate wat a world this would be huh?

I didnt read all the replies, but it seems that the majority of the readers of this blog are McD’s employees, or Target employees. That in itself could say a few things…
Anyway, a place of employment is allowed to tell you to look however they want, as its THEIR company. If you dont like, no one is forcing you to work there. As many others have said, go find a job that either allows piercings, or prove yourself valuable enough that they dont mind over looking. But bitching and whining about it on Mod Blog is not going to fix anything. Get off your ass and make something of yourself.

I work in Hewlett Packard as a Sales Specialist, I have my both arms tattoed (one of them full and the other almost) and my tongue piercied too, I always wear shirts that covers my tattoos so once somebody asked me why I cover my tattoos and my answer was: I love tattoos but I dont like giving explanations and I preferd to be “Leopoldo the guy who works good or bad” and not “Leopoldo… the tattoed kid” the world isn t ready yet…

I had viable mods and got a job making $15 an hour answering phones for an insurance company.. All I did was redirect calls!
I have a mohawk, pointed ears, a chest piece, septum ring, and 2 out of 4 microdermals were visable! The said that if anyone harassed me because of my ears to call HR directly since it was a permanent physical mod haha. And some older lady did and she was reprimanded and it’s on her FILE.
Score one for health insurance.. Now I am an esthetician and it’s still not a big deal..
