Otherwise you might as well have the groom dress in a wifebeater (the pun!) and both of you carry half-drinked sixpacks of PBR by the plastic rings to the altar.

You were at my wedding wern't you, Rooster!!

What's the old adage about it not being your wedding so much as it is the wedding your mom wanted to have

again it all depends on the job

but if a boss tells you to cover up/remove peircings, dont bitch about your "rights as a person and individuality " and all that crap
cover up or risk your job

actualy, it comes down to, when they hired me, was it policy then, I would simply not start working at a job that had an issue with them, however if they tried to change the rule after i started, I would thow a fit.

That does present a problem. Whenever I interviewed for a 'real' job, I had on a shirt, tie and a jacket, thereby covering up my forearm tats. If I got hired, I'd do the long-sleeve shirts for a few months until they saw that I was a 'valued member of the team' and then I'd start rolling up my shirtsleeves. Never got fired, or even asked about it. The way I see it is if you really want the job, cover up as much as you can until you're locked in and demonstrate that you're a good employee. Most employers, at least the ones I've worked for, had no problem with it.

Now if you're working the drive-thru, saying "wood woo wike fwies wif dat" because you've got a tongue-piercing, I'd 86 you.

well, I do set lighting (a real job), so the only dress code i have is, once i had to wear a hard hat. beyond that ... no one cares.... well on union jobs I have to have a tool belt, with certian tools.
