Nose piercings in the work place
With today's society becoming more liberal piercings have become more common and acceptable in the work place. In a study distributed to employers 60 percent said they would hire an employee with some kind of piercing. However, there are still companies who see piercings as something that could tarnish their company's reputation. Walmart is a company that does not allow piercings on faces, but they allow for their employees to show tattoos as long as they are not offensive. There are companies who allow and even encourage piercings. Border's encourages their workers to wear their piercings to show their own sense of style and individuality. Ford Motor Company allows everyone in their company to sport a piercing but they do not allow factory workers to wear piercings due to the workers safety around machines.

Company's have the right however to tell a future employee to remove a piercing. The action of telling a hired employee to take a piercing out is not illegal or considered discrimination. When an employer asks an employee to take out a piercing or to cover it they are doing this to protect their business or because they see it unfit in their work environment. Employees with piercings can easily cover them up with either a clear or flesh covered piercing retainer or they can cover it up using bandaids. In a survey 70 percent of hired employees cover their piercings at the work place on their own accord. Different career fields view piercings differently. In the more artsy fields-music, culinary, and communication. While fields such as business and education have chosen to stick to the more traditional route concerning piercings.
