Tattoos and Piercings

There are a lot of preconceptions about tattoos and piercings.  In some cultures it is expected. In Samoa, boys have to endure tattoos when becoming men. In other parts of the world, it is a form of expression or a way of feeling affiliated to a group or purpose and therefore a badge of honor. With regards piercings, is it a shock factor, conversation point or a natural progression from having your ears pierced? Either way, when jobs are becoming more competitive to get, these perceptions could inhibit your chances of getting a job. If you are to get a tattoo, make sure it is something that you will never tire of and that you are able to cover it up. Article
