In Reply To: How do most companies feel about body piercings? I have a nose ring that I'd prefer to leave in once I get a job. Should I wait until after I land a job, then ask if it's acceptable? Anyone else sporting their piercings in the office?
Message: by your coworkers, go right ahead and leave the ring in. Enjoy them laughing at you behind your back. Enjoy them treating you as the office oddity. Enjoy the fact that you will never be taken to a client meeting or new business pitch because they are afraid what the client / prospect will think of you. On the other hand you could grow the hell up and realize that we all don't get to do what we want at work.
