  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!)
This should depend on your actual location.

I was discussing this with my CT a week ago. USFSP requires that men wear fancy pants (I don't remember the formal term, just that khakis fit) and a shirt with a collar. My CT one day said that I can come to school in jeans if I'm wearing a school shirt on top (collar or T-Shirt) and I explained that I wasn't actually allowed to do that per USFSP standards.

Contact whoever is in charge of your position and inquire about this. To answer the actual question being asked, I believe

- Nose piercings are a no
- Tattoos are *probably* a no but you could probably cover it up and get away with having them
- Red hair is a natural hair color so I don't think a school could get away with punishing a teacher for having red hair, natural or dyed.
