Inappropriate or Appropriate attire at work...You decide.

I don't personally care for piercings except for in the ears. Nose, lips, eye, etc. are all very disturbing to me. Tatoos don't bother me near as much as long as they are in good taste and not XXX rated. Thongs need to stay inside the pants and not be hanging out or up. I see girls all the time with low riding jeans with their thongs showing. This is just poor taste and poor judgment and I wonder sometimes where their mother is?? So, yes, I vote inappropriate.

I think it depends on what setting the person is working in. I think this time and day it is okay for the most part but I wouldn't want my doctor to be covered in tattoos and piercings... not that I don't like tattoos and piercings (I do).

No I don't think it is inapropriate, as long as it is simple jewelry. How is wearing a thong inappropriate? Its not like people are going to be ripping your clothes off to see what kind of underware you are wearing. Unless your a stripper in which case it is appropriate. Unless you are talking about sandals in which case I think tennis shoes should be worn to work.

The appropriateness of attire for me depends on the environment of the workplace. And I don't see anything wrong with piercing or thongs as long as it does not deter you and the people around you from doing your job. However, you must always consider the image of the company or office that you represent especially if it's a public office.

We must also remember that most of the time, the amount of respect we get from others depends on how well we carry ourselves.

If I were a manager, I would not really want my workers to be wearing that much accessories. That of course include piercings. For tattoos, for as long as they are hidden, that would be fine. For thongs, they should be kept "in their pants". I wouldn't like their thongs sticking out of their pants!

I don't see a problem with peircings in public. customers are a cross section of society, as are the people serving them. peircings are not offensive, and you are perfectly capable of serving the public and being polite and helpful with a peircing.

tattoos. why ever not. again, they are not offensive (unless the content is, and that's a different matter entirely)


but thongs. why would you ever know if someone is wearing a thong? it's underwear.

i think at work, the drss should be very inmportant. all should dress in appropriate attire. this is spirit of work.all these piercincs look ugly and unprofessional a si guess.

It really depends on the nature of the work. If your in the corporate world then by all means we should look decent. Tattoos is okay as long as its not vulgar or anything that you don't look like goons or look dirty on it.

It is all a matter of setting. I have tattoos. I have 5 ear piercings in each ear, plus a top cartlidge piercing in my left. My earings are always in and since I have short hair always visible. I wear a saphire in my top hole and 4 small gold rings in the rest, then whatever I feel like in the bottom hole. I never take out the top earings, never.

As for my tats, well they are there and sometimes depending on what I wear one will flash for a brief moment. If I wear a skirt and sheer hose my ankles will show.

I am a professional woman in a fairly senior management position. I am also in consulting. I work with all sorts of different companies from the very conservative to the fairly casual. I tend to keep my style conservative in dress (pants and suits with opaqua hose) until I know the lay of the land.

The environment will dictate what is appropriate, up to and including the visibility of under garments. I may think it is a bizzare trend but it is a trend.

When I got my first tattoo 34 years ago women didn't get tats and people though I was "that kind of woman". When I pierced my ears multiple times long before it was the "in" thing to do they thought the same thing. People do what they wish for their own reasons. We should focus on the quality of their character and not the package it is wrapped in.

No, I think that it is inappropriate to have piercings if you work in the public. People have accepted earrings but I think that to have one in your nose,ear,etc.. is just not appropriate.
Thongs are a personal choice but please keep them in your pants if you are going to wear them.
Tattoos are becoming more acceptable as long as they are not x rated and can be covered if they aren't appropriate.
