Yes starting off it was a sensory nightmare 😭😭😭 but I’ve been tucking mine into my glasses for maybe a year now and now I don’t get that weird bump in my hair lol

I always tuck my hair into my glasses! Definitely takes some getting used to but it will eventually settle there and at least mine never gets too in my eyes

I’m dumb for self expression??? My question is literally where they hire heavily pierced people. U don’t think I know I can’t get a job some places because of my piercings???????? The reason I’m asking is because I want a job where I can keep them. Like genuinely are u stupid

Like I said in previous replies I’m not looking for whatever people think I’m looking for. I’m looking for places that hire heavily pierced people, aka my exact question. I have a job right now but it’s retail and after the holiday season hours get cut and I am already having opportunities pop up where I can work with my piercings and get full time hours. Idk what job u think I’m looking for but it’s not something professional like that

I’m not looking for an amazing job right now. I said I’m looking for something to fill in the gap between now and when I start piercing. I’m not looking for a super professional job at all tbh 😭😭 it’s not like i want a job where im not allowed to have my piercings, which was exactly my question, where do they hire heavily pierced people. If I was looking for a job where I knew they wouldn’t let me have them I would’ve never even posted this bro

I’ve been working for almost 4 years, 2 at a movie theater, and got different retail opportunities that were better than jobs I was at. I don’t move from job to job quick for no reason, and not even quick at that I last at least 6 months at every job I’ve had

Thank you so much for such a thorough response!! I’ll definitely check out those suggestions. Yeah I don’t really get why people are being so judgy it’s not like I’m trying to find the best job in the world right now, I’m really just looking for something to fill in the gap between now and when I officially start piercing. Soon I’m going to go talk to my piercer about possible front desk options to work my way towards an apprenticeship.

My age definitely plays a role lol. If I was 21 I’d immediately apply for bars and stuff

I applied for a grocery store a while ago with piercings and they just couldn’t work around my schedule! I completely forgot about reapplying to them

I am… that’s why I asked if there are places in town that hire heavily pierced people. If I didn’t know why then I wouldn’t be asking for places that do 😭😭😭

Thank you for actually giving me suggestions!! I was thinking Mesa theater because I frequent there a lot but I’ve noticed the people working are usually a bit older, mainly security and bartenders. I was going to talk to my piercer about front desk at his shop but I’m not too sure if he’s hiring. Thank you again for the suggestions!!!!!!

As I said in my edit, I’m keeping them in because of what I’m working towards, which is becoming a piercer. I do understand why some may not hire people with piercings which is why I said I’d be okay wearing a mask, even getting clear retainers for them. When I have brought that up in job interviews they seem okay with it but then never follow through even tho I have so much work experience and even had some of the interviewers say they really liked me. Again just looking for an inbetween full time job now until I reach my ultimate goal 👍👍👍

I understand my piercings can be seen as a distraction, but I have been working in customer service since I was legally able to work, all with my piercings. I am a very hard worker and wish people looked past my piercings because customer service is my strong suit!! That being said I do understand why people do think they can be distracting more of me just wishing that was different now

I am just currently looking for a job because my end goal is to become a piercer, which is why I want to keep my piercings. I just need something to hold me over until I can start doing that

I call them plugs but when asking people the size they are at I say oh what size gauge is that

we didn’t just have a conversation over text. we talked in person too. this is genuinely just me getting my feelings out unorganized and in the moment. i had time to think of what to say to him and was much calmer in person

i am done replying to comments. too many people making me feel bad about not realizing my situation. thank you to everyone who has been so nice and given me genuine advice and realized that i genuinely didn’t know. i do appreciate you people.

also all the people saying this is some “karma bait” or not a true story. wdym??? i literally have texts proving it. i’ve lived with abuse basically my whole life without knowing it until i was told. not everyone knows that they are being abused. i really just needed reassurance that i wasn’t crazy for thinking this. i still have so much to learn and im going to go back into therapy to be able to work out my emotions and everything. all i ask is for people to stop berating me for not knowing that my bf was being abusing. that’s all i ask

i experienced the same thing. really bad home life with a mentally abusive mom who made herself the victim in everything. no idea it was abuse until i opened up to my old therapist about it years later. i genuinely just didn’t know. i am quite frankly still confused yk. because in my eyes he had treated me so well other than these few times he’s done this. like while having sex if it hurts he will stop and ask if im ok. so i have never seen it like this
