  Case: Inquiry: Physical Appearance as a Teacher
What is considered inappropriate dress code wise, on average? For instance, nose piercings, tattoos, and red hair. How are these viewed by employers? Will these attributes make me unhireable?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Knowing who is hiring you is key. Some older women are a lot more traditional than others. I remember in elementary school my AP had a tongue piercing and I thought she was the coolest person ever! As long as you are dressed as a professional you will be treated like one. Hair color, and small piercings and harmless in this profession. With tattoos, I would check with your employer and ask how they should be taken care of or covered.

Comments: I like this solution. Obviously, an employer with tattoos, piercings, or colored hair is going to relate with you if you have that as well. But, an older person who looks down upon that stuff might not be so merciful.
