yep I would have no problems with this at all, as it has nothing to do with how they work on the job

Are you sure. What does that exactly say about someone that is willing to mutilate their face?

well so long as they do it on their own time and does not interfere with their work its their business not mine

Honestly, I would think it's unprofessional but if they had the qualifications, the vocal presence, the manners and what-have-you, I'd definitely give them a shot.

My hiring a person would be based on their ability to carry out the tasks for which I hire them.
The decorations and ornamentations on their faces will have nothing to do with their getting hired.

I personally would not care. I am glad that it is becoming acceptable, not because I think that tatoos or studs are cool. Just because it should never matter. I hate that kind of mindless prejudice employers think they have a right to. On a personal note it screams bad taste to me.

As an employer wouldn't you want to choose the right people that will fit in with your team in order to produce the best results? I ask this because if I was on the team, no work would get done due to the fact that I would be laughing and making fun of them.

Yes, if they fitted the criteria required for the role. Though I would probably not consider them for a face to face customer relation position.

Yes. If I owned a circus, I'd hired the one with the tattoo on the face. If I owned a farm, I'd hire the one with the ring on the nose, tie him up next to the oxen with a chain thru the ring and have them all plow the land together

If we were working around a large, powerful electromagnet, no. Otherwise, yes.

Depends what i want them to work as. If it was in a grocery shop then i would have to say no, however if it was in an office etc then i would see their credentials and employ the best one for the job.

It depends on the job and how the interview went. Based solely on their appearence (which is not my first choice) if they were going to be the face of my company (working the front counter, a traveling salesman, etc.) probably not; if they were going to be working in my warehouse, who cares.
