Man with staples in his face unemployed

...and wonders why he can't get a career going...

I'm all for freedom of expression. I like tattoos and body art. But I've always understood how it could affect my employment prospects so have restrained myself from ever going down that road. Is this common sense or am I out of touch?

The point I was trying to make is that some jobs still will not take people because of piercings and tattoos so by having them you are ruling yourself out of those careers. Fine if you are comfortable making money elsewhere or have a career that allows or even wants them, there is no problem. This guy doesn't know what he wants to do but is ruling himself out of certain jobs. In fact he had an opportunity to use the publicity of this interview to promote himself but either chose not too or was not aware enough to take advantage.

Until the CEO of Barclays turns up to a press conference covered in ink then we are not at the point where it is transparent to employment.
