If someone chooses to have some form of body art, people should accept their decision, and not judge on their appearance. Just because someone has body mean, does not mean they are not capable of doing the same work as other people. When at an interview, body art can determine weather or not you get the job. The person with body art could have been a better match for the job, but the employer would probably want someone else, that does not have body art.

These are the reasons why employers should not discriminate against people who have body
