Your employer sets the rules not you. If you don't like the standards your employer sets you should seek employment somewhere else.

sorry... I meant that yes you can expresss in public but not when that place is somewhere like work where people need to be dealing with you and vise versa. Think about how other people feel when they see you instead of how you feel when you can't show yourself. As an artist, I know expressionism is far more than a shiny stud or ink on skin.

It doesn't matter weather you can express yourself at work. It matters if you can follow policy and regulation. You should probably worry more about doing your job than showing off your tattoo to people who probably don't even care who you even are. The boss has a right to whatever rules he/she finds fair and necessary for the employees. If you want to show off your tattoos and whatnots then get a job where you can. You have a right to expression, yes but other people have the right to feel comfortable in public and when you impede on someone else's right for security in a public place, then your right to expression is no longer valid.

As a business owner I have right's too. I would express myself by not hiring an idiot like you. Go express yourself some place else.

By the way when you are a customer in a place that is trying to earn money you can be kicked out if you are dressed inappropriately. So there. Are you happy now? Case closed!

I don't know about you but I dont like it when I walk into a doctors office and see a nurse with a tongue stud and a barbed wire tattoo on his/her arm.

You can express yourself in public and I have no objection, but I'm not at where you work paying to see your expressions. I'm paying for a service that doesn't involve looking at your wired tatts and piercings. Employers understand this and it most likely helps revenue. Customers usually have a little more leaway when it comes to company policy and what they can show/wear and not show/wear in the store. LOL. If you work for someone and they say hide your tatts or piecings, hide them. Or look for a job flipping burgers. It is not discrimination. That would be something like saying 'we don't like the color of your skin, please hide it'.

Good jobs or tattoo's? I personally think it is very unprofessional to see tattoo's and weird piercing at a place of business. I have quit going to restaurants due to tattoo and piercings. Just my opinion

When it says on the sign at the place you work your name than feel free to express your first amendment. Til than follow the rules. And then you'll see if you get buisness at Baileysababy6. Bar and Grill.

When you get a tattoo, you are well aware that some people will discriminate so why does it offend you when it happens? The point is that you are an employee not an employer so if you want the job then you follow the rules.

You are not paid to be expressive, you are paid to conform to whatever the company want you to conform to. If you do not like it, get used to flipping burgers.

The workplace is not the place for self expression. There are a lot of things that I would love to say at work but can't without risk of losing my job. At work, your mind should be on your job not on freaking out the next customer. Give me a break and grow up already.

Tats and weird piercing only limit the jobs you'll get in life. Young people need to make wise decisions early on in their lives. Everything in life has a place and time!

if someone at a basketball court has a tat supporting bin laden on their face, i wouldn't associate with them. Now if that same person was an employee at the airport don't you think people would be reluctant to fly. Stop being selfish and think. What are you going to argue next, that mcdonalds employees should be able the same language they use on their friends? oh wait they already do; thats y they lose bizness

freedom of expression???? well maybe i should come to work with my package hangin out. there always needs to be a line drawn, this world isn't a free for all. imagine you worked hard your whole life to open your own business, put up with all the crap the townships and states put you through to start a business, spent all your hard earned money, worked late 5 years straight, and then some [BLEEP]y teenage kid tells you how your workers should dress. you need to grow up and get into reality. maybe your world is a circus but the real one isn't supposed to be

I personally have no tattoos and don't like them. Neither do I really find them offensive on other people. At the same time from a professional stand point, they don't look very professional and some tattoos are very offensive. Yours don't sound as if they are but if you don't have to cover yours some of the people who do have very gruesome tats won't have to either.

Perhaps you're right, but if I were a business owner the last thing I want to do is offend potential customers. So from a business stand point it makes sense to discriminate against people who have this need to advertise that at home they aren't getting enough attention. Would you hire a person displaying gang tats on their forehead or Klan member with swastikas across their arms? Based on your argument they have the right to self expression. Just saying you make it right for some...well you know the rest.
